One other thing. For all of you that have read Insider’s derogatory comments about this group. Let’s forget about them. I have done my research, and to my knowledge he/she has not made comments about any other group. Kind of makes you think Insider just has a problem with this group, and that has nothing to do with their vocal abilities and/or their ministry. Sounds like someone needs to let go and let God!!! Just a thought.

I think what a group does depends on how faithful they are to God. InSider, it sounds like you are making this industry a little to cut-throat for my taste. If these guys are doing what God has called them to do, then he will handle the rest, and what you or I say can either edify them and their ministry, or tear it down. Remember, we are a Christian industry when you are making comments about a ministry.

Insider…I only take cash!! lol. No, really, I’m not saying Cross 4 Crowns is the next Cathedrals, or anything like that. But this industry does indeed need some new blood, and these guys are very solid. Not anything groundbreaking by any means, but very, very good music. Stage presence is good. Comedically entertaining as well. I read your comments back in the spring about them at GMT. If that is the only time you’ve heard them, and that is what you are basing all of your opinion on, then you are short-changing your own critiquing ability. That was over a year ago.

#17 – One other factor is huge, just as much as talent if not more, and that’s persistence. Some great talents never realized their potential since they left the road too soon.

By the way, how many times have you heard Cross 4 Crowns? There is a chance you just heard them on an off night, when perhaps their speakers were acting strange. I’ve heard groups on off nights before, and it isn’t pretty, but then I hear them at another time and I’m amazed at the difference.

Jeff: Did they pay you cash, or with check? Just kidding. Lets just say that time and talent will say who lasts and doesn’t in the business.

I have been around and listening to southern gospel music for quite a few years. I’ve had the opportunity to record, but mostly I’m a fan. I’ve heard everyone from Gold City to Kingdom Heirs to Brian Free & Assurance and almost everyone in between. And there is one common factor: NO ONE sounds live like they do on their CD. I’ve heard Brian Free make my ears bleed. I’ve heard Jason Waldroup flat as a board. I’ve heard Mike Bowling make me go…HUH!!? Groups put ALOT of time in the studio for a reason. I’ve heard groups live with stacks that will part your hair. The next group that sounds as good live as their cd will be the first one! I HAVE heard Cross 4 Crowns live and they are better than most at matching CD quality. I was looking at their schedule, and based on some of the concerts coming up, apparently a few others think they sound pretty good as well. A promoter won’t put a group that can’t sing with groups such as The Hoppers, or Triumphant. If y’all are looking for a group that sounds just like their CD on stage (without over db’d stacks), please let me know; I’d like to go hear’m!
