i would try to give a set amount, because although in OUR eyes and OUR viewpoint one group may be better than the other, they all have the same bills to pay, and we must remember, WE are the ones that went to see them, so we must give credit where credit is due.

I know what you’re saying when you talk about the “twang.” (sorry, I don’t care for the Hinsons) My mom turns the radio off everytime the McKameys come on. They’re not THAT bad, I don’t think. I prefer Austins Bridge, (a little twang) but my dad prefers GVB and the like. I like most SoGo music. Or, you could be “anti-twang” and not listen to SoGo music at all, like my sister. Back to the real subject, I usually can’t give much of anything at a concert, mainly because all of my money goes to get into the concert! (I don’t make a lot of money, in other words.)

Maybe if enough people do not attend those kind of concerts and services, those singers might come off the road.
God does use people to open and close doors for other people.

I don’t have an issue with specific styles. I like most of them that make up what is known as Southern Gospel. My issue is with those that pass themselves off as singers/vocalists and don’t know the first thing about singing (singing properly). That is more of a quality issue than if one prefers a certain style over another. Just my opinion…

Does that mean,
yuh duon’t wanna hre somebodhee singieen’ lika theeus -hes-hes-has?
(That’s supposted to mean “You don’t want to hear somebody singing like this”? Trying to type a very strong country twang’s sound, in a humerous manner, is more challenging than I expected.)

Well…I don’t like extreme ones, but I don’t consider Kenny’s to be an extreme twang. Generally, the less twang the better, in my book.

Come to think of it, I do know of at least one person who at least kinda likes SG but didn’t like Kenny Hinson. I can’t imagine it, myself.

You don’t like country twangs though, do you?

Perhaps to someone who really, really disliked country twangs?

I can see GMF’s point, though. Some folks perceive the quality of the Inspirations and McKameys a little differently than the way they perceive the quality of GV or the Cats (not to mention the GVB, if you’re going to bring up highly polished). The way the Hinsons and Goodmans did it wouldn’t work for L5, although I love both styles.

Some people perceive quality in restraint and perfect taste. Groups like the Hinsons had the quality of enthusiasm. I think GMF is saying that if you’re looking for a different quality, then SSQ might be disappointing to you, (say if you’re a Kingsmen fan), while the Hinsons might have been disappointing to a fan of … I don’t know … How could the Hinsons have been disappointing?
