Are there any Gospel/Church Songs that you Dont like???

[chevonee]

There's a song that people sing around here called "I've been down so long, that down don't bother me" I also despise a song called "I'm tired"

[betnich]

Okay....I really TRIED to like Israel's "I am a Friend of God" but couldn't!

 

[keptbyJesus]

I'm sick of Jesus Oh what a wonderful child at Christmas time.

GASP!!!! YOU OLD HEATHEN!!! 

 

I cosign on that Timothy Wright "Jesus Jesus Jesus". Good grief, what is it with these little old lady story songs? Oh and cosign ² on Jeff Majors.  Even my father (who has conservative music tastes) has such disdain for that man and his coma-inducing "music" and personality.

I don't know why but Israel's "I Am Not Forgotten" makes me grit my teeth.

And I have come to detest "Alabaster Box" because I have heard it sung sooooo many times with soundtrack and no emotion. 

Trinitee 5:7 "There He Is" because it's repetitive and sounds like an R. Kelly song.

I have to admit I like that Alvin Darling song "NO BODEEEEE! NO BODEEEE! BUT THE LAWD!"

(slinks away into corner)

The reason Trinitee 5:7's stuff sounds like an R.Kelly song is because they've worked with him in the past. R.Kelly and Kirk Franklin produced their first album. I think they still have a connection to him despite Matthew Knowles being their new manager. They even re-recorded R.Kelly's "U Saved Me" possibly as a nod to him? I hear their version on the radio every now and then, but I change it to something else instead.

LOL, I like that Alvin Darling too. What about that beginning? "Di-di-di-did you know that Jesus was the one that died on Calvary?"

In reference to "Cooling Water"

What kind of song is it?

Like he said, if it's not a gospel song, then what is it? I looked up the lyrics, and it's a song about baptism. It talks about being delievered from sin, and has the line "They took me down in the water". Sounds like baptism to me.

Well, how about Beau Williams' "Holy Ghost Work Me Till I Sweat"? I think he watched "The Steve Harvey Show" too much, sounds a lot like "When The Funk Hits The Fan", lol. I'd never heard it before until our minister of music let him come to our church and sing it as a special guest. Everyone in the church was aghast! Looks of disbelief, those us in the choir were trying not to laugh, but when he brought that whistle out, it was all over!

Indeed.

and Go tell it on the mountain

Depends on the version.

[under13]

Indeed.

Depends on the version.

I've only heard one version, and it was pretty wack, we had to sing it for youth choir

[cordney]

any songs that take me all day to learn

[sjonathan02]

Ok, as much as I don't like the song, my wife is looking for, "I won't Complain", for one of her students.

They're looking for the version with a male lead (who's introduced by a woman).


Don't look at me like that, that's all the info she gave me.

[NJTheBishopAnderson]

Okay, Beverly Crawford's "He's Done Enough" is getting TOO MUCH AIR TIME 'ROUND HEA!!!   

If I hear that song ONE MO GAIN!!! 

...its 'bout to be, "I've HAD enough".... of your song!

That's the original by Rev. Paul Davis.

I must have missed that part.  Probably because the song was so annoying that I started to tune out the lyrics, lol!

Thanks.

Now, does anyone have the song that they can upload to LGM for a brotha?

[OleJ]

That's the original by Rev. Paul Davis. 

You mean Rev. Paul Jones

[bishop2]

That song, "You outta run and tell that", and like the rest of the board, Im sick of hearing "I won't complain", and "Yes"

JESUS OH WHAT A WONDERFUL CHILD IS STILL THE CHRISTMAS ANTHEM.

[Virtuenow]

"Rough Side Of The Mountain"

"Struggling & Strainin"

"Because Of Who You Are" (only cuz it was being oversung)

"I Will Trust In The Lord" (again cuz of oversinging)

Most of Keith "Wonderboy" songs

That's all I can think of right now.

**Gasps** at T-Block, I love "Rough Side of the Mountain", and all of Keith Wonderboy's songs!  You know me, I can take it back sometimes!  Anyway, I don't like Yolanda Adams songs.  She sounds like she is oversinging--almost yelling throughout all of her songs.  It is so annoying.  I also don't like that style of singing where people do alot of runs and yelling.  Very annoying and unreal.  I don't think of that as singing.

JESUS OH WHAT A WONDERFUL CHILD IS STILL THE CHRISTMAS ANTHEM.

I prefer "the night that christ was born"

[Virtuenow]

"I won't Complain" and "His Eye is on the Sparrow": I don't really understand this song...I mean, I know the scripture but the song is kind of weird.  It seems to be more about a bird and less about God.  It's not that I don't like these songs, moreso than they are sung TOO MUCH.  Everytime someone sings a solo it is one of those songs.  It doesn't help that people have to yell their way through the songs, too.  Why so loud? 

Also, someone said "Cooling Water".  I have always disliked this song by the Williams Brothers.  It's something about the tune and the words.  Israel and New Breed, "We Worship You...You are Good".  One of the most annoying songs ever.  Good words, but I have to pretend to like it- or trick myself into liking it b/c choirs sing it so often.
