Never really been a fan of Gospel music until TGJ. Gotta hand it to them though,they’ve introduced some of y’all to a new and interesting genre of music you would like to explore. Kefia Rollerson tho>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>YASSSS GIRL THOSE VOCALS
i love that track by coko! yes gawd to jesus, she did that!!
zie’l, ive never heard of them, but not bad at all!!! love that rock and roll sound they have going on!!!
i like them girls from mary mary with their big hips!!
i enjoy hearing kiki talk! my cousin had some of her extra skin removed yrs back also, girl please, aint nothing wrong with that, dont no nobody wanna see no saggy skin!!!
yesssssss sheri jones, never heard of her either, but she’s giving me that good ol’ yolanda adams feelings!!! let that light shine mama!!!
those winans brothers know they sound good, just make ya pantie wet! yes god!!!
thats why u never judge a book by its cover, i was just going to bypass Kefia Rollerson, because of her appearance! but that lady there, has that old school gospel voice!!!! with that lil clippet, she just slayed my ears! shes giving me tamela man! heading to youtube now!
and god bless whitney, she just overalled slayed!!
thank you so much tgj for this, because real talk, i wasnt going to listen to ur sunday gospel broadcasting, but this really did put me in another place! and if alot of ur readers would listen to ur sunday gospel broadcasting, their souls wouldnt be filled with as much hate & anger as it is now!
Kierra Sheard is my girl, love that she’s finally doing purpose in her music for herself and not for others. I’ve actually heard a few tracks from her upcoming album and let me tell you, y’all really ain’t ready for the slayage lol! Coko….I’ve always said I have to relate with the artist before the music to become a fan and Coko ain’t it for me. After seeing her behavior on SWV, who the hell would want to be “taken in the spirit” by someone who clearly is doing Gospel music for self gratification? She’s rude, arrogant and self loathing and I don’t believe she’s real. My feelings have nothing to do with her singing R&B prior to Gospel, that doesn’t bother me but what does bother me is she’ll “fake” holy in the Gospel community to get acceptance then curse your a*s out on her SWV reality show…girl, bye. Like all artists should do, be real about the music you sing. You like being a ho (Ri****) ok, sing about then, at least she’s being real.
