BET premiered the new season of Sunday Best and fans were not at all happy with the behavior of the famous gospel judge panel. A contestant completely offended by the actions of the judges spoke out on the matter and fans agree.

Sunday Best is a reality television Gospel singing competition series that airs on BET. The current celebrity judges include gospel singers Yolanda Adams, Kiki Sheard, Donnie McClurkin, and mentor Kim Burrell along with host Kirk Franklin. Although the gospel competition is set on helping young believers get recording contracts to sing gospel music, one particular contestant by the name of Dennis Brigham stated after his audition that judges McClurkin and Burrell were doing the exact opposite.

"I think it's very rude and disrespectful for ya to be up here laughing like that," he told the judges. Brigham explained he used his rent money to be on the show and said, "for ya to be sitting up here disrespectful like that and laughing, that is so wrong." He went on to say, "Ya'll are so rude and disrespectful."

Judges Sheard and Adams were not involved in the argument but Adams did smile and acknowledge everything Brigham said as he rebuked judge Burrell in particular.

Brigham returned and auditioned again in D.C. because he did not want to leave the audience with a bad impression. He apologized to Burrell for his outburst in Atlanta and Burrell apologized as well.

Although Brigham made right, fans on social media believed the judges were wrong for how they carried on during some of the auditions as well. Many pointed out that the judges were eye rolling, laughing, and talking while others performed.

"The judges seemed to be a lot like the judges on American idol... Although he [Brigham] approached it wrong, he was right, they were being very rude."

"There is better way to deal with vocally challenged ppl instead of laugh in their presence."

"I think the Judges need to realize the show they represent and give the contestants more respect. This is supposed to be a Gospel show where we praise God, not laugh at the ppl trying."

"Making commentary about shoes, clothing, hair, physical features are not related to the art of singing/the anointing is distracting and unnecessary! If this is a platform to Bless People, then do that!!!! Right now, I am disappointed and debating whether I will continue to watch..."

"No disrespect to you guys but laughing with-each other while participants are on stage is down right rude, Yea there were times when you had to laugh, but not while you are the judge "judging" a person as soon as the person comes on stage you guys totally ignore them and started laughing."
