The event will be hosted by Wayne Brady and CeCe Winans with Fantasia serving as the headliner, which will also include a duet with her mother Diane Barrino.  Gospel and contemporary Christian artists like Natalie Grant, Donnie McClurkin, Hezekiah Walker and more will all be on hand,  along with Verizon's How Sweet The Sound 2011 Overall Winning Choir, Salvation and Deliverance Church Choir.

As I said the highlight of the celebration is the NFL choir, featuring current and former players.  As a matter of fact the choir has become one of the most anticipated performances during Super Bowl Weekend.  Celebrating it's five-year anniversary, the NFL Choir made it's debut at the 2008 show with more than 40 members, including Ray Lewisand Bryant McKinnie and all under the direction of Donnie McClurkin.

The choir was formed by several Christian NFL players who wanted to share their faith through their musical talents in song and instrument.  The group offers fans an opportunity to see a very personal side of the players, as they make a joyful noise.  The NFL Players Choir will sing a gospel favorite with Fantasia!!!!

Not sure when this will air on T.V., but check your local listings for more info.
