    I grew up attending small Churches in the South, much like this one. While this guy is an exceptionally extreme example, it was pretty common for people with confidence extraordinarily disproportionate to their talents and abilities to do “specials” (solo performances) on Sundays. Brings back the memories.

      “Special features” were how I would book gigs for my youth group band back in the day. Obviously, it’s poor form to be “performing” in church because it’s supposed to be about worship, but if it’s a special feature, anything goes!

    The preamble is truly memorable. The lack of self awareness. The bottom of the barrel scraping that is happening at wherever this church is to keep the program full. The poor parishioners faithfully attending. The piano player. The start and then stop then talk to the piano player. And finally the falsetto.
    There are just too many layers to this clip. I can’t cope.

    Hey gang- just a little history. This song "Looking For A City" has been used by countless groups in gospel music to showcase their tenor singer or as a friendly competition between dueling tenors. The whole idea is for the band (or piano player) to keep raising the key after every chorus to show just how high the singer can go. Audiences love it, and singers.. not so much.
    So, this keyboard player isn't "out to get "James, that's what he's supposed to do.

    I would've lost it. I used to play piano at church and the person who sat right next to the piano sang very loudly, off tempo, and off pitch - the louder I would play to try and drown her out the louder she would sing - she would even start yell-singing. I had a very hard time playing everything correctly because she would throw me off. That piano player is a master. S/he could have put an end to those people's torture at any time, but kept it going (and it had to be with some difficulty) HAHA.

      My dad is a pastor. He would have to get up and leave to politely laugh outside if this happened.

    Happened A LOT in our small church, while growing up. Mom would get pissed if we chuckled, because they are, in their own minds, making a joyful noise unto the Lord. But, man! I would pinch myself, bite my lip. Anything, really to keep from giggling.
    Once we had a missionary passing through town, stopped to visit and "sing." He just kept going and going. My sister handed me a note asking. "Is he ever going to quit?" And I lost it. I feel bad because I could never get up in front of people and try to sing, but, then again, I was a horrible singer. I try to make God proud in other areas, like when the church roof needed members to help re-shingle, lol

      It's a good thing he didn't do all his greatest hits! They would have to close down the church and deprogram people for sound therapy! 😬😲😩🎧🎤

      Jesus said in Scripture render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar render unto God what belongs to God! I really don't think Caesar would want any part of this! He would probably say here God you take it I don't want it! And God would say to Caesar no sorry dude no take backs! 😩😲😬🗣️🎧🎤🔊😎😳

      This was actually a lot worse...he was a bit better he sang about 5 songs this one is just funnier because of how high pitched and out of key he sings it...on the other songs he's just really out of key.
