And the funny thing Chicago and has the most choirs in the whole United States when I started naming artist at home in Chicago and named about over 100 gospel choirs Chicago.
Here 9 years later & have NEVER SEEN A BETTER PERFORMANCE! I rewinded this SO MANY TIMES! This choir UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT & BROUGHT. IT. They sound sooo good and were SO SO ENTERTAINING to watch! All their moves were ENTHUSIASTIC, no one was sloppy. Dance moves was ON POINT. Everybody had mad ENERGY! There's NO WAY you can sit still watching them. I know this comment is late and long but I'm just absolutely BLOWN AWAY! 🤯 BEYOND IMPRESSED
Shout in front of wall that hasn't moved yet. God says: believe me so much that you praise me as if I have brought down something that is still standing up in your face.
really.... 6 people did not like this performance?.... I don't understand how someone can not like this performance... Congratulations & may God continue to bless you
Logos Baptist Assembly of Chicago (Dr. Donald L. Parson) but this particular choir is called Zion Movement in which I am the founder and director. Thanks for asking! :)
man ive watched this about 12 times. Every time they got to the rejoicing part i wanted to get up and praise God for what he did back then. Whoo this just gives me extra hope that whatever walls that are in my life that's hindering my walk can and will come tumbling down. Hallelujah! Glory to God
This is a powerful message that has been given to the 75,030 veiwers and everyone else. My family is has a lot of diabetes, cancer, and everytime someone get sick in my family they defeat Jericho. I love this song, I never heard of this choir before until last night and when I tell you that it blew me away I said wow... chills ran threw my body into my soul. Gospel ministers to me day and night. It counsels me, it lifts my spirit up, it keeps me going. I love god and I love this choir and I want to hear more. I already bought this song on my iphone. God bless from Moses Moore
Moses Moore there was no message here? it was a gospel version of STEP & FETCH IT black slave bucking and jiving!!! Nothing this choir did was for God, it was for a COMPETITION,, i see this choir often in chicago, and it sickens me! Where are their PASTORS? If this is where Christianity is headed, then I see why gang bangers are killing each other! This video shows that you can still hang on to everything of the world AND GOD is to "SHUT UP AND TAKE IT!" AS long as you toss in a few Jesus words or a few Joshua's from the bible. Then we are to pretend this foolishness is ministry? HECK NO! THIS is an abomination to God! You should see when the BAND STARTS playing then they pretend to be in the "ANOINTING" whatever! This is black church foolishness! plain and simple!
derrickbowdown you truly do not know what you are talking about. This choir is a congregation of saved individuals singing under the leadership of Dexter Walker.. makes no difference if it is a community choir as MOST Gospel artist and their singers go to various church's. You do not personally know these people... or their story. God has done so much for us why not do above and beyond. We entered into this competition not for the sake of a competition.. but for the sake of ministering to all who may not know who Jesus is. You were not at any rehearsals when we quoted scriptures of the battle of Jericho. . You did not fast and pray with us. This competition afforded us with an opportunity to reach the masses at a larger scale after winning. But I'm sure you won't see it that way and that's fine. This is the story of Jericho that we sing and move to to show people the story all have been touched by this song and rendition. Do not stop on other people's joy for liking something that they feel ministers to them. I pray that you get a better understanding. .. if not be blessed.
stop it. it's the epitome of what Christians say we don't seing for. and that is SHAPE, FORM AND FASHION.. and which spiritual leader is offering correction for the "alleged" HOMOSEXUAL element of the choir? Gospel music today is a HAVEN for HOMOSEXUALS and lesbians because false prophets tell them that Jesus knows what they are going thru and doesn't expect an immediate change. That is not biblical in any bible any of them have ever read.
derrickbowdown As I read these comments I am in awe at what you believe is God. For the God I serve is able to do exceedingly above anything that we can THINK. It's not up to you derrick to decide what is God and what is not. For he will be the judge of that, what you should do instead is continue to pray that God moves through this choir as he has chosen them to be a part of the body of Christ. We as Christians are so quick to cast the first stone knowing that we all have SINNED and Falling SHORT of God's Glory. Your job is not to sit here and dismiss the presence of GOD just because YOU didn't feel it. The bible also says to "LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING!" God is greater than we can possibly imagine. Therefore, stop trying to denounce that these people have come to not only minister but entertain for that is what was asked of them as entering into the competition. I don't know the choir personally however "WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE? Their Anointing."
Lord I thank you for blessing us to win Nationals. To God be the glory. Congratulations to all of the Regional winners and the runner up. We all go higher from here!!!!!!!
I'm just speechless, I'm a fan of this choir as they have blessed my life through the very beautiful forms of praise ... God continue to bless this very minister Dexter Walker with ZM ... Love you!!
OMG!!! I am old skool and just looking at these young folk moving and still being able to sing is soooooo amazing! Dex, I admire you for your hard work, dedication, and committment to your ministry! It just bloes my mind to see how disciplined ya'll are! Keep the faith and be encouraged.
i cant stop watching these guys, they were not just singing, but u can tell the BELIEVE what they are saying,,,awesome awesome awesome...gonna watch it again....be back

Dex Walker I love you. And to the rest of my zion movement family...the anointing is upon you. Good Luck in the finale....I will praying for you all!!!
Dexter, I don't remember if I said something on this channel yet. But, I too listen and watch this video quite often....and your other small posts and clips, Particularly "Open My Mouth to the Lord". I'm probably approaching 100 views!!! I need to submit my WOW statement! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! KEEP FOLLOWING THE LEADING OF WHAT GOD IS DOING. The Grace of God is flowing in this choir because of your leadership! YOU ARE A PHENOMENAL DIRECTOR!!! - A JOY TO WATCH. GOD BLESS YOU!
@@starwatchersun9215 excuse me, but I’d like to ask what was the purpose of commenting that. Because clearly, I did not see any satanic imagery when came to the triangle in the middle. These are good people praising the Lord. And you were just ignorant enough the comment that. I will never understand some people especially your point of view on things. And I’m not trying to judge you or anything. I’m just trying to let you know that what these people are doing is not Satanic imagery on their robes there just singing for God.
I WATCH THIS VID SO MUCH THEY ARE THE BIZNESS U HEAR ME!!! MAKES ME MISS THE LATE OLANDO DRAPER!!! THEY MIXED JUST ABOUT EVERY GENRE INTO THIS AND WITH PERFECTION AND MUCH DISCIPLINE LOVE YA INDEED!!! I DIRECT CRAZY LIKE THIS TOO. ITS HARD TO STAND STILL AND DIRECT. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SPIRIT IS MOVING!!!
2024 and it's still a classic. Are they still doing these??
I went to this contest, and there was a praise break for a solid 10 minutes after this where the whole stadium just lost it. It was incredible.
I am truly jealous of you
I DETEST HATE LOATHE THE VERY WORD “Jealousy.”
A snippet of the choir on Shuler King brought me here...Joshua fought that battle Thankful to God he loves us.
All famous choirs from Chicago are awesome. Chicago Mass, Ricky Dillard, this choir. They're all great

Wow! This was an entire production!!
Still here in 2021!!!!!! 👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾👐🏾
Shout in front of wall that hasn't moved yet. God says: believe me so much that you praise me as if I have brought down something that is still standing up in your face.
THEM TENORS!!! That three part tenor harmony was smooth!
Still get chills when I watch this!!!
I had to come back in 2022 just to watch this amazing performance❤️❤️

This choir is awesome, an inspiration for the Greater LA Cathedral Choir!! We pray you all take the whole competition. God Bless, your GLACC fam!
Every last one of these choir members burned at least 100 calories a piece doing this number. Loved it!
really.... 6 people did not like this performance?.... I don't understand how someone can not like this performance... Congratulations & may God continue to bless you
This choir was just awesome. Heard them sing since day one when they started and I am big fan. I know some of them in the choir LOL. GO ZM :-)
