Alumna named “Sunday Best”
December 07, 2007
Last Tuesday, Crystal Aikin ’97 was crowned the winner of Black Entertainment Television’s gospel competition “Sunday Best.”
Like Fox’s popular singing competition “American Idol,” fans selected the winner of “Sunday Best” by calling in votes and voting online. Aikin received the majority of the 1.5 million votes.
With the win, Aikin received a recording contract with Zomba Gospel, a new car and $300,000 tagged for community improvement. During Tuesday’s show, Aikin said she would donate the money to her church, Christ Life Center Church in Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood.
Born and raised in Tacoma, Aikin is an emergency room nurse in the area. She is also the daughter of retired PLU nursing professor Shirley Aikin.
