I found the whole event this year to be very odd. All there was was "Jesus loves you" and "Hallelujah". WTF! And a lot of very cheerful gospel signing by a rather mediocre choir. Last year's ceremony was very quiet and dignified. This year it seemed like a christian revival camp came to town. A very disheartening experience all around.
