Maximus85:
Yes sire. I'm a musicologist. Only if you've ever heard of that not to talk of knowing what it means and what it takes to be a Musicologist.

I sure don't need to exchange words with you.

I think this news is real fake. That looks like an old photo. Christ is banned in South Africa and Zuma will be commiting a political suicide appearing anywhere near a Nigerian 419 pastor in the present climate.

Maximus85:
Sorry. I can't comprehend with what ure saying. Geoffrey performs well but he sings off key. Those that knows music will know this. Mind you, singing off key and singing flat aint the same.

correctguy0900:

booqee: Do u know it is not a sin for a woman to go to church without covering her hair?
You don't necessarily have to cover ur hair with scarf, cap, or anything. Why? Because d hair on our head is the covering for our head. It may now become a sin if then u come with a shaved hair to d presence of God. Our hair has been given to us by God as our covering. It is also a glory from God to us. So why need to cover God's glory on us? (Though its no sin to cover it with scarf, its just not necessary or compulsory)
Now check it out.
Open your bible and read 1st corinthians 11 vs 3-16. Go back and read vs 14 and 15 again, especially vs15.

Vs 15 says "but if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering" (KJV)

Sanchez01: Some may argue the topic to be semantic or syntactic, i.e, mean the same thing while the meaning remains the same, just differences in structure.

A Gospel minister is someone who does his solely for God. Hence, engaging worship is the most important thing to such persons. His songs are preachy, true, and straight from the heart. His calling is not for monetary or personal gains, neither are they for personal or selfish reasons. His songs solely MINISTERS; entertainment is the last thing on his mind. Church choristers fall into this category.

Gospel artistes, on the other hand, were (mostly) Gospel ministers who sought to take themselves 'higher' or 'upgrade' themselves by merchandizing their ministrations. Thus, Gospel artistes have one thing in mind, to satisfy their audience by giving them a show that is worthwhile.
Hence, the presence of God does not really matter to these folks since most of their songs are secular songs that have been fused to sound religious. The Spirit of God rarely work with them as they believe intensive rehearsal would give them the best output.

My Experience: Being a Gospel Minister and a Psalmist, I had always wanted to learn from people I considered as my role models. I had always wanted to see how they sing LIVE, how they communicate with their instrumentalists and all... This did not happen until 2007 or 8, I finally stumbled upon Cece Winans, Donnie McClurkin and Kirk Franklin at a Live Concert in Lagos. Having watched them keenly, I was able to take and reject some things I noticed from their ministrations. One thing was left now; I needed to see my local role models live until the unexpected happened.

It was somewhere in 2009, I was in my fresher's year and it was announced that there would be a Gospel concert on a Friday in the school tagged: 'Campus Redefinition'. It was organizes by Bouqui and the concert witnessed many Gospel stars, among which Sammie Okposo, Lara George, Eben, Rooftop, etc were in attendance.
To cut the long story short, their dressings never interpreted what they sang. Eventually, the 'welu-welu' master's turn came. I was so excited because he was one of my local role models. The moment he came on stage, he started sing another version of Terry G's 'Pass me you Love'.
Geez! It was so depressing to see the man I had revered doing secular songs all in the name of praising God. I didn't wait for the concert to end before leaving.

Gospel artistes would never attend a programme save they are paid. To them, praising God is serious BUSINESS.

Elantracey: The presence .

August17: Just wondering.. Why one will coin a gospel song from a circular song? You go for a gospel musical concert and its as if you just went there to get entertained#I'mnotthinkingaloud....
