Mary Mary went on tour with Maxwell...so what do you think about it?

[ajoyfuljoy]

The dynamic gospel duo Mary Mary was invited to open the final three shows for Maxwell's North American summer concert tour. The chart-topping duo opened for the BLACKsummers'night tour on August 2 in Jacksonville, Florida, and August 3 in Charleston, South Carolina, and will be opening again for the final show of their Columbia Records label mate on August 5 in Durham, North Carolina. The gospel group is still soaking in the success of another No. 1 hit "God in Me" from their most recent No.1 album "The Sound."—SG

[music-bnatural-smile]

you assuming the whole crowd is married?

some may be doing whatever it is they need to in order to stay celibate LOL
and the others, this may be the only God they ever see LOL

all married lol didn't think of that...
i'm imagining all those older horny single women pining at maxwell's feet... my mom and her sisters love him lol

 

[ajoyfuljoy]

You really think that Christian artists can make an impact singing on a secular ticket? How does oil and water mix? Sounds like it was about the Benjamins to me.

 

[Kurlee]

what's the problem?

 

[Ramya]

I doubt the type of people that would be concerned with Mary Mary opening for Maxwell would be attending the concert.

But you asked what I think about it so... I think I'm not surprised.

 

[music-bnatural-smile]

Of course it was... its their career... its about the money for all Christian singers... who is innocent from this out of them all? NONE... that whole industry is crazy LOL

i am glad they are able to go on tour and spread a good word to so many ppl...

 

[PopLife]

Aren't Christians suppose to seek and save those who are lost?
Let's be real unsaved people are not exactly trampling down the church doors to hear the "good word", which is why people like Mary Mary go out and witness in arenas that unsaved people might be at...duh!

 

[Angelicus]

Secular artists sing with secular artists all of the time.

I don't understand what is the problem.

sarcasm.

 

[Shimmie]

I don't understand what is the problem. .

I'm sorry, but I know what you meant. Non-secular with secular? Am I correct?

I mkae typos all tehe tyme. 24/11 .

I know what I said, it just ddn't type the way that I said it.

I think music-bnatural-smile was referencing other threads.

Caught that!

I don't think there's anything terribly wrong with it, assuming that Mary Mary stay true to ministering about Jesus and salvation. I can't even say anything about staying true to Christian standards because I don't know what their standards are. Can't vouch for anybody's salvation.

I also think it's okay for Christian artist to sing secular music, if that's what they feel God has called them to do. When I say secular music, I mean songs that encourage, inspire, uplift, promote love and positive messages - not some of this raggedy stuff we have on the radio today. But, since Mary Mary is a "gospel" group, I'd hope they'd set and maintain a standard.

Okay... what I miss ? Is it really Secular with Secular or is it, "Non-Secular" with Secular?

Or is it 'Don't nobody know what it is?"

 

[music-bnatural-smile]

Honestly... Has kirk franklin or israel new breed or any other gospel superpower come to your church to sing? No... Cuz the money aint right... Same with any of these speakers at womens conference... They go where the payment is right...

Sorry that's the truth... Christians have to make a living too! Who wouldve thought that they need groceries lol

 

[mrselle]

I could be wrong, but I *think* she was implying that Mary Mary are secular artist...they're not singing gospel.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Well, Kirk Franklin, Israel New Breed, Jay Moss, Kurk Carr, Fred Hammond, Smokie Norfol, Kieria Sheard, and so many others have performed at my old church on many occasions .

Actually yes they have... including Byron Cage who was there for Father's Day, Kurt Carr and the Kurt Carr singers who did a concert for us and on and on. They all performed at 2 different services and no the congregation was not charged.

That reminds me of a revival I went to with this woman speaker and she kept saying how she needed the offering because she had to buy some Formosa (brand of milk). I'd never heard such a thing before.

 

[Laela]

A-hem... God will supply the needs (and groceries) for the Christian artists who don't find it necessary to pair up with Bishop Seculars to spread the Good News. And it's likely not ONLY saved/Christian people are going to those concerts....

I've not been to any of those concerts, but were there altar calls at the end? I wonder how many people got saved after hearing/seeing Maxwell get his grove on on stage. Seriously.

Aren't Christians suppose to seek and save those who are lost?
Let's be real unsaved people are not exactly trampling down the church doors to hear the "good word", which is why people like Mary Mary go out and witness in arenas that unsaved people might be at...duh!

 

[music-bnatural-smile]

Those are mega churches... They came with that MONEY
Come on guys be realistic

 

[JinaRicci]

Wow. I don't even know what to say. I guess I haven't kept up with MaryMary-don't have the last album. But have you all read the comments posted on these websites???

Some of the comments from Essence: Something to think about...

I don't see anything wrong with Mary Mary and Maxwell teaming up to tour. If we are honest with ourselves we listen to both of them. Why not tour together? Bringing both "worlds" together.

Yes, I totally agree with the prior posts. Maxwell is soulful and sexy. He will have you in bed! Mary Mary is supposed to be all gospel and sexy. They're supposed to have u in church! The two do not match. Totally unequally yoked.

i love maxwell..and what is mary mary?...an r&b duo or a christian /gospel duo?....maybe both...is that being hypocritical?...just asking...not saying that they are but isnt that singing "worldy" music as they call it?...

 

[Ramya]

oooo maybe I can get tickets to the Israel October concert in Atlanta. rooooaaad trip! any southerners want to go?

 

[Laela]

Sooooo..... the people at the Maxwell/ Mary, Mary concerts didn't come with their Money? I thought it was about the Benjamins....

which is it?

Those are mega churches... They came with that MONEY

Thanks for this. It's important that this clarification was made. Also, he's often with Bishop Charles Blake at the West Angeles Church of God.

Is he not a friend of God or what? I love this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXFi6lUUz5s

Even if he were among the Secular audience, he'd be true to his profession of the Lord Jesus Christ.
