    I’m voting for “Struggle” written by Taylor Campbell. I love Christian Hip-hop, but so many people call themselves Christians and don’t even say “Jesus” or “God” once in their music. That is why I like Taylor Campbell’s music, it talks about a changed life.

  99. Harold Williams says:

    I could talk forever about the awesomeness of Paige Hackett,but she would rather I talk about the awesomeness of God and how He has done it all.Paige is anointed of God to write and sing. She is a graduate of Rhema Bible college and is full of the word of God as well. The song “clean” is so powerful and given from God out of a heart for a friend in need of our healer and redeemer Jesus Christ. Her new cd release is such a blessing to the body of Christ and to the world in need of a Savior. I will vote for the gift of God in Paige Hackett any day of the week. Please join me in supporting her as she seeks to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in the ministry God has placed on her life.

  100. Doug Schoffner says:

    As I listened to the song “Clean” it reminds me that even though mistakes have been made, God is always faithful to wash us clean. We are made new, and as a woman this song signifies the cries of all women who desire God to wash us of the pain and gult of impurity. Way to go Paige on another great song.

  118. Chad says:

    Neely. Great message, heart felt.

  119. David Dennis says:

    I think you all should do multiple songs for the different tastes. A couple of them are very good for different reasons though they could use some more polishing.
    I liked Paige’s song for the cry of my heart to God in personal meditation, Struggle for the beat and good words upbeat sounds, Neelly for their style sound and words, nathan clarks song was well done and had good meaning for these issues. Nathan Arnold hit the topic well but the song was dark which is not helpful when you are struggling!

  120. Brian says:

    I vote for Nathan Clark George.

  121. Ben says:

    Nathan Arnold has a very clear message.

  122. Jason K says:

    Nathan Arnold

  123. Mark.B.F says:

    love how God works through us all in different ways, all the songs were awesome keep on keeping on ya all….

  124. Joshua says:

    “Struggle” by Taylor Jordan

  125. Ruth Heinz says:

    I like them all! Having to choose one, I will choose “Set Me Straight” by Nathan George. I hate having to choose!

  126. Kelly says:

    “Struggle” is my vote. How awesome to hear the heart of a teen in the midst of the fight, choosing God’s way. So rare, so precious.

  127. Katie says:

    Struggle by Taylor Jordan

  128. Connie says:

    Neely

  129. Regina Stearns says:

    I vote for Nathan Clark George

  130. Melanie says:

    Struggle!

  131. Tom H. says:

    “Falling Down” by Neely is by far my favorite.

  132. Mike N. says:

    Nathan Arnold

  133. JB says:

    Neely- Powerful song.

  134. chakia says:

    Paige Hackett

  135. N. B. says:

    Every one of the songs and every one of the singers are top of the line. It was difficult to choose. I decided on Struggle by Jordan Taylor because of his age and talent (the mysterious sounding singing along with rap, a very pleasant combination) but most of all because of his recognetion that lust is not love. A great song and a great composition. I pray that it will help many teens see the truth about illicit sexual activities.

  136. Patty E says:

    the husband and wife duo was a very good song, but I could not understand all the words.
    I picked Paige’s song because I could understand and just feel the passing in her song.
    I also liked the 15-year old, was it Jordon? Would have helped to have the choices in the same order as I listened to them. He did a good job, it just wasn’t real catchy!

  137. Pat S. says:

    Nathan Clark George is my hands-down favorite!
