Auditions for Season 7 of BET's hit talent search, Sunday Best, began this past weekend with a big announcement- Kierra Sheard has been named one of the new judges!

Kierra will join longtime judges Donnie McClurkin and Yolanda Adams this year (CeCe Winans is not returning for this season), along with vocal mentor Kim Burrell and show host Kirk Franklin. Kierra announced it herself via this vid posted to BET's Instagram account-

I think it's a great look for her. Plus, it vibes well with the upcoming Season 2 of her own hit BET reality series, The Sheards, which is already in production. Auditions began in Houston on Saturday, but there is still time to give it your best shot in Memphis, Atlanta and Washington, DC-

Saturday, March 8 - Memphis, TN Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church 70 North Bellevue Blvd Memphis, TN 38104

Saturday, March 22 - Atlanta, GA The Greater Travelers Rest Baptist Church 4650 Flat Shoals Parkway Decatur, GA 30034
