Well, did they know producing music that sounds like R&B is the same thing? Did they know collaborating with secular artists was the same thing? Did they also know that sampling or remixing songs from secular music was the same thing? They can not tell us that they haven't already sold out by wanting to sound like the world and bringing the mainstream music into the church is alright in their souls. They've even made excuses why dressing sexy is ok for them to do as gospel artists. It's as if they did not realize that wanting to look or be sexy has nothing to do with singing the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We just know these gospel artists know doggone better than this. It all started back in the day when The Clark Sisters and many before them though they were 'saving souls' in the club by performing there. We are sure some people got saved but even years ago, we wonder just how effective it was? The world is a tempting place and if you are not careful, the very thing you are trying to help others will have you backslide on your own salvation. We're just saying.

We have written about on this subject for years and it always feels good to hear more and more people talk about gospel artists and why they are in this industry and whom are they singing for. Blogger and writer H.B. Charles Jr. has his say on the subject too he calls it: Gospel Artists, Please, Pick a Side!
Well it looks like LeAndria Johnson will start a new talk show. We don't have many details on what the show is about and when it will begin but stay tuned for updates. What do you think about this? Will you be watching?
The Lexi Show has interviewed Michael Winans Jr. who is getting ready to do 13.9 years for scamming people from a Ponzi scheme. He states he was involved in the alleged pyramid scheme called YTB (Your Travel Business) and many people in his downline did not make money so he was once again approached about a Saudi Arabian crude oil bonds, Tim Hunt, the creator of the fraudulent oil investment.
We did a little research and found this video of how the church takes secular songs and turns them into praise or gospel remixes. SMH. We know this is not anything new but why must the church take from the world when they have plenty of scriptures to take the WORD and use it for God in song?
Once again, some folks are upset with Erica Campbell for wearing a fuchsia pink dress just as she did on her album photos with the white fitting dress. The dress is beautiful and we know that she and her sister believe in loving themselves and their bodies. As a gospel artist, we think that being sure and confident with yourself and your body is fine but is the dress still a bit too distracting for a performance at a church on Easter Sunday?
That's right baby! You sing til the devil trembles by His Name, Jesus!! We love this story. We are so happy about this story.

First of all, I don’t espouse that Gospel Artists judge their effectiveness by their numbers in the industry. I don’t even agree that Gospel music should be an industry (as we know it). However, this is the measuring rod the Gospel Artist themselves have ascribed to. Ultimately, most Gospel artist have left Christian labels because they wanted to reach more people and sell more records. It was all about evangelism and reaching souls right? Wrong!
