Music, youtube style.

Here's some videos, all strangley involving music, some good, some bad. Enjoy!

1. Shardinay - Oh Boy - Music Video



I had this one under my favorties for awhile, but ya know I've been busy lately (translation: i ain't been doing nothing). Anywayz this is one of those BAD ones. This one just starts off bad and gets no better. And she's the "UK female singing sensation". Sensation, yeah,  I get this terrible sensation in my ears.


2. Bad Crack



From the title, I first thought this had to do with the lethal white stuff, but then you see the snapshot of a choir singing and I was like whaa. But once you hear it all make sense. I admit I've watched this about 5 times, and everytime I laughed, and cried. It's so horrible. What makes it so bad is she continues to sing. no! No! NO! NO!. I'm gonna come back to video though when I'm feeling blue and just laugh, laugh laugh (cuz you know he who laugh last, laugh last, laugh first, laugh last).

3. Jazmine Sullivan - Holding you down (going in circles)



This is one of the GOOD. Jazmnine's new single off her upcoming album, which I'll probably buy, cuz I loved the first one. I like the homage in the beginning to Mary J. Blige, cuz people say she sounds like her, I always hear Kim Burrell though, so I don't know about that. But it's catchy definitely.

4. OMG Rude Boy (Cover)



I loved this cover! The way the two songs were mixed was bomb, I kinda forgot it was two different songs. But I love it when white people sound like black people, and can do all the vocal acrobatics, and  have the soul. It's amazing to hear! Though, I can do without the guy cuz the girls kill it! I like the blonde's voice more than the brunette though. It has like a little twang to it, but still soulful.


That's all.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

youtube mania, ya know.

Cuz I'm obviously not working on any school work when I should be....
Hope you enjoy them. if not I really don't care...

1. Great God A'mighty

In honor NCE, we brought back this tradition this year, of singing this spiritual with the alums, or more so singing it at all. so awesome though.




2. Black and White People Furniture

What does race have to with buying furniture? , I have no idea. But this video is pretty hilarious.




3. Patti Labelle- Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Things to meniton: patti's hair, her "flying over the rainbow", and her great ,yet crazy,voice.



4.  I put it all in his Hands

Found this random video of this choir singing. Main thing I want to direct you attention to: the director.



5. McDonalds- Gospel Style

Love it! (or should I say I'm loving it!), but um this makes me wanna go to McDonald right now, while shouting.

Youtube Mania: Mixing it up.

Just some favorite I saw over break.

1. Darin Atwater - "He's Got the Whole World in his Hands"



Remember those videos with Soulful Symphony, forgot to post this one last time. Just the choir and piano this time. Beautiful rendition.

2. "Emmanuel" - UAPB Gospel Choir



Although Christmas is over, I loved this version of this song! I had chills, and felt exactly what they felt in that video. Amazing!...

3. Never Steal A Fat Black Kids Ramen Noodles!



Sorry for all the F words (change of pace from the gospel videos, i know). But this was way too hilarious to me! Had to post it. I know how he felt though, dem Ramen Noodles be the shizznit. And I would put it on everything (including my grandma's grave, jk) if someone stole my noodles. hahahahah omg!

4. Weird Water Experiment



Kool, sciency thingy. So what, I'm a dork?!. I got to Northwestern.....

5. The Clark Sisters -"Jesus is a Love Song"



This song is a least in my head once a day....most of the time it's just that long note she holds around 4:45,
Love this song though.

Last post before the New Year,
so enjoy the last days of '09,
and welcome with open arms those of 2010.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!

Gospel Video Youtube Mania

man, I should seriously stop watching youtube videos,
but there's so many.... so I continue to watch...
check out this gospel videos....

Hold to God's Unchanging Hand - James Hall & Worship And Praise

Their staccato in this old hymnal favorite is stellar (<--- ooo big word...??). and that soprano "to-oo" is so kool. I love choirs though, for real. And this choir is pretty good.





Keep Holding to His Hand - Duranice Pace & Central Georgia State Choir



The Directors Face in the beginning: PRICELESS! The lead singer is crazy too, love her, I mean the way she was looking can't get that from audio only, that's why video is amazing. And her testimony was really touching! And the bass, it was really makes this song.....


I Won't Give Up-  Ricky Dillard and New G




Wait? What! Ricky Dillard actually singing and leading a song?. Dude can actually sing. Maybe he doesn't sing anymore, cuz this looks like a young Ricky Dillard. Love this choir btw.


Keep On Praisin' -Fred Hammond



Seriously one of my favorite Fred Hammond songs (speaking of which I didn't get that new album)....it was nice to see this live and on video.


He is not Just a Man-Fred Hammond




Whoa, tons of people singing. Love this song alot too. Great Worship. That's why ya gotta love Fred Hammond.

Alright that's it.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

More Gospel Videos....

wanted to post this earlier, but I was "busy working"......
anywayz enjoy and such...

Dr. Mattie Moss Clark - How Majestic Is Thy Name

For some reason I really, really love this video, this song in particular just captured me, and as a result I do what I do with songs that I really really love...look at as many different videos of it as I can.

This one though was really quite funny the more I watched it, all though that was not the point of it. For 1) What is she saying in the beginning? 2) Why do they all look dead tired?. Anyways, I loved the arrangement of this song, and that organ, which is supposedly Twinkie Clark, is amazing.

indiana State Mass Choir - How Majestic Is Your Name

This is like a fast-paced, jazzed version of the first arrangment ( You know how at the end of Sister Act 2, they had like the choral version and then the choir version of Joyful, Joyful ). Very similar to that. I still kinda don't get this wax on-wax off clap, I can't exactly do it.

How majestic is your name STBNB choir

And this one is in an entirely different language! I'm guessing this is spanish, but then again what do I know about foreign languages? Also, This is alot more prettiful  ( I know that's not a word, but whatever)...

TWIN SENSATION LITTLE BOYS SINGING

this little boys are amazing! not sure what song they were singing, but I couldn't sing like that when I was 7, 10, or probably even 15. They got some talent, wow what a blessing.

Olanda Draper & The Associates - Praise the Lord Everybody

A song/video like this reminds me why I really love Gospel choirs. Like people just singing together, and like happy, great sounds/harmonies, synchronized clapping. I mean it's just awesome. I mean in this video, no one looks like they don't wanna be there..oh & the director makes some funny/crazy faces!

I Yield My All To Thee - O'Landa Draper & The Associates

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGR5o4ZNQzc

Same choir, I really loved this song, never heard it before though. I really like their robes also. That ending is hot! Say I yield it! Yes, Lord.

Everyday Is A Day of Thanksgiving - Dr. Charles G. Hayes and The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ooK66xOpZg
everyday is truly a day of thanksgiving. cuz his mercies are new every morning. anyways this is a old time classic. my home church choir's been singing this song since forever. (btw I thought the lyrics were " he open the door", but "he open my eyes" makes more sense). And I've never heard this ending before.

Trio - Cosmopolitan Church

this three guys kilt it! especially the guy WAY UP there! My church choir sung this song a while back, and I did too. I still don't know what this song is called, and I'm very sure it's not Trio. I was just really excited to find the original version of this song. Wouldn't have guessed it would be 3 guys. 

okay that's it. 
as you can see I probably need to stop watching youtube videos and get back to my homework....but I don't if that will happen anytime soon, considering to do some homework I have to be on the computer..
so until next time,


PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!
