I think what pissed me off more than the mediocre singing and the choir speeding up the tempo and seeming to have no idea what rhythm is the fact that that girl right in front could not keep still!

She was staring at the camera playing it up... and when it came time for her solo, she was singing the wrong notes, and doing all these runs.. and it was HORRIBLE! Plus that attitude she has completely comes through on camera. And what's with the audience clapping after every solo?!

ok, while i appreciate the interest in this video, i really just posted this for people at my school.

i realize that this choir isn't the best, but we had a lot of fun singing this song.

i didn't upload this for it to be critiqued, it was just a way to share some memories.

so if you're going to comment, please keep that in mind. thank you.

Robert Ray is the composer. The choir had fun with this piece, and they didn't take every repeat which was great. Tempo was good and they did the hand off from section to section very well: Soprano: "He filled the hungry"...next alto then tenor then bass. Hard to keep it together when enthusiastic audience claps after solos & the choir still has vocal lines to keep singing. Exuberant girl became nervous as camera was right there. Everyone responds differently. Keep up the good work.

the most important thing is THEY ARE PRASING GOD!

BUT SHE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO STAY STILL AND CONCETRATE IN WHAT SHE IS SINGING ABOUT!

**keep focused lady!!

but they are not professionals so we can't say anything but only appreciate it

God bless u all

I know it was 2 years ago, but do you know the composer?

[Doemchen1]

I mean Good, of course

By the way: Gospel means God Spell and not discipline and perfection. It's not about announcing this message meeting every note right but feeling the joy that it means!

Our choir is also rehearsing this song for quite a time now. I know how much work there is behind such a presentation and as long as thy're not professionals it should not be required of them to be perfect but to have fun in what they're doing! I think, you can tell this by looing at their faces - and after all - they're young people, let them move a bit too much around on stage if that's what the music does to them - sometimes I can't stand still either :)

They're not that bad they just need to fix those tonal issues and get into it I mean heck it's Gospel SONG!!! They do all that stuff and smile but they're voices don't sound like they're that into it.
