    My brothers and I performed in gospel music for over 10 years, and were traveling out across the U.S. as a trio, and were educated for many year under Ben Speer's Stamps Baxter School of Music at Belmont University. We haven't performed in near 10 years, but I guarantee that I would perform a less appalling performance if I had drank half a liter of 80 proof, and been strapped to a bumper whilst being pushed through blackberry bushes.

    “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”
    ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    when you give your child a box of old-school 80s gospel music and he locks himself in his room with this cassette player.

    We´re amazed as well, the thing we wonder and can´t figure out is: 1) Is this a hoax? 2) If not, how the h... can they allow him on stage?

      Oh, it's not fake. I live in Salisbury, NC and I've heard him sing...one thing that IS fake...is the applause at the end. I saw this guy perform at church...he gets "polite" applause from nice people who don't want to burst someone's bubble. But other people DID TRY to burst his bubble...but he wouldn't hear any of it. He thought they were just jealous. This guy is so arrogant it's insane. He used to have his own youtube account, but I think he finally realized that everyone is laughing at him...because his account is gone and all that remains are reposts and people laughing...it was tough to sit thru his performance

      thetvmn88 thank you for posting this. it struck me that the audience doesn't appear to be reacting, much less applauding him.

      thetvmn88 yea i figured the only reason he was there singing is b/c no one wanted to tell him the truth. His voice is a mess too man he never received instruction of how to sing correctly
