Secular artists pulls more crowd of fans than Gospel singers these days. Some of their songs are all void of edification but vulgar lyrics that promotes idolatry and fornication. Do you think these artists would probably become a gospel artist? what will their fans do at this move?

Lol!Why should they leave a lucrative area and move into a niche one?Are you kidding or what?Gospel music is a niche music genre directed ONLY at a particular kind of audience called, CHRISTIANS.Why make music for a niche group when you can write songs for much wider and larger audience?Artists that move out of gospel music probably do so because they felt boxed up by all those ideological walls surruonding them and wanted to spread their creative wings without those walls to contend with, among other reasons. Gospel music was probably way too restrictive for them creatively.

Okay, i am just as unhapppy as you about the very shallow lyrics of nigerian pop music artists, but a musician does not have make gospel music to make songs with meaningful and deep lyrics.I find most gospel tracks to be quite shallow and one dimensional as well.All they ever sing about is praising and glorifying their own religion and the god they worship.There is no depth in that.

Whenever a gospel singer opens his or her mouth to sing, you just know what lyrics are coming out.They are just too predictable.Gospel music lack spiritual depth that goes beyond just praising and glorifying some gods somewhere in the sky.Gospel music is nothing but a propaganda music genre for propagating christian religious ideologies and most people know this deep down, so they reject it to a large extent.

A good musician should always make songs with deep spiritual lyrics that are devoid of religious bias, and the type that the entire humanity can and should identify with and not just a niche group. . . as well as fun and lighthearted music. Gospel artists will do well to take note of that if they want to pull in wider audience.

On the financial lucrativeness(or lack of it), even though the christian population is large enough to sustain gospel singers, the poor faithfuls have already invested and are still investing so much of their money in financing and sustaining their pastors lavish lifestyles with all them private jets, that they don't have much left to give to gospel singers.Talk of money badly spent.

Let's just hope 4 a change. It's unimaginable that many people hasn't known that Christ died (about 2000 years ago) but when a pop artist dies, the news spreays worldwide in less than 48 hours. can you imagine? we ought to alter and change the course of our time.

Why should the death of jesus that happened two millenia ago be of any importance to people that live today?And why do you think that that should change the gospel singers' fortune? I do not follow your train of thought there.

Two millenia ago is two millenia ago. Two millenia later is two millenia later. Two totally different eras running on totally different dynamics and programme.The peoples who live in both eras are totally different to each other in many areas, running on totally different programmes. So, what do you expect?

Let's be real. Some prayer will not be answered because it's been spoken thousand years ago. But let's hope for change. Even in the western world, is the same so, It will always continue to be. Let's we that are in the faith just keep doing God's will and not stop,
