Struggle.
Taylor’s song ‘struggle’ was good. it represents the struggles of all teenagers.
We would like to vote for Taylor Campbell’s song “Struggle”.
My vote is for “Struggle”. I love the smooth R&B flavor and the message is so powerful. Congratulations to all the finalists!
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.

OK… This is hard but if it comes down to me voting I choose ‘Struggle” Taylor Campbell! You are RoCkInG it dude!
Wow, I am really impressed with how “Struggle” spoke the truth about the difficulties of lust, but the redemptive qualities of God’s love! I can’t wait until I can play in my car! In addition, I am excited about the possibility of playing the song for women I disciple that are struggling with the same issues as way to explore scriptures and address the issues featured. Praise be to God for a young warrior speaking truth! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
My vote is for “Struggle”.
You are an encouragement brother, keep it up! We’ll be next door! :)
Neeley. all the way. The musics style is very main stream, very professional and right on the money. Head and shoulders above the rest.

Neely for sure!
Falling Down by Neely pretty much blows the other songs away… so my vote is for Neely!
Taylor Campbell’s song Struggle touched my heart because as a Christan I know the struggle I go through each day trying my best not to sin. Taylor is wise beyond his years and God has called him to use his tallent to each out to those who need Christ the most.

Taylor Jordan Campbell’s song “Struggle” – Wow!
I vote for “Struggle” by Taylor Jordan Campbell. Amazing song, encouraging words, courageous testimony!
I identify the most with struggle. It is not an easy course to walk with Christ and live pure. I “struggle” every day. In the midst of the struggle Christ Grace is sufficient.
We love this song!!!
Love the urban flava with the positive message.
I vote for “clean” by Paige Hackett, she is awesome and I know this song was given to her by the Holy Spirit .
I vote Taylor Jordan’s “Struggle”! Its cool! And fun to listen to! And the message is Awesome!
I am voting for the song struggle by Taylor….that joint is on point…..go ahead with your bad self
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.
Taylor Campbell ia my vote. His song Struggle is very touching. I have Parkinsons and it is a daily struggle at times. As a Christian this song touched my heart. Taylor is wise beyond his years and God has his hand on him.
We love “Struggle”; two thumbs up for Taylor!
Taylor,
Awesome song! Im praying it will grab some hearts.
I am definitely voting for Taylor, my cousin Andrea told me about him and I was excited to hear his music, now I know why she liked it! :-)
~Kylie~
What a gift from Taylor of being an incredible lyricist and gifted songwriter. God is pleased for sure!
I love struggle, and it’s a blessing to vote for Taylor.
This young man has a very bright future ahead.

Paige Hackett truely has a heart for God first and to praise Him with her talent. She has a lot of potential ahead of her. Put a check by her name for me. We love you Paige.
My vote is for “STRUGGLE” by Taylor Campbell. Great song!
My vote goes to Paige Hackett!!! She is so talented and I love this song. Love your best cousin Kirbi
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.
I vote for ‘Struggle” by Taylor Campbell, it trully communicates! What a great genre of music and lyrics.
“Struggle” – Way to say it straight., Taylor!
I so enjoyed Page Hacketts “Clean” it has moved me everytime I’ve listened to it.
STRUGGLE!! i can relate to that song so much, and taylor, you are totally an inspiration to me. i love you!!! hope you win caouse your song was by far the best!!!!!
I voted for Paige, you can tell her songs and music come from deep within her soul. “Clean” brought tears to my eyes but warmed my heart.
LOVE Nathan Clark George because he doesn’t mimic the world. Great tune, great lyrics.
Nathan Clark George’s Song was awesome
I love Taylor’s song “struggle” cus i relate to it in soo many different ways.thanks taylor=)
Neely. Great message, heart felt.
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!
I vote for Nathan Clark George.
Nathan Arnold has a very clear message.
Nathan Arnold
love how God works through us all in different ways, all the songs were awesome keep on keeping on ya all….
“Struggle” by Taylor Jordan
I like them all! Having to choose one, I will choose “Set Me Straight” by Nathan George. I hate having to choose!
“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.
Struggle by Taylor Jordan
Neely
I vote for Nathan Clark George
Struggle!
“Falling Down” by Neely is by far my favorite.
Nathan Arnold
Neely- Powerful song.
Paige Hackett
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.
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!
Nathan Clark George is my hands-down favorite!
