The folks criticizing the Gaither reunion must not be very musically astute. I don’t care who or what they say or think they are, they just simply have no idea what they are talking about. Or maybe like an earlier poster said, they are just biased against GVB.

And Now, a year latter, after the projects REUNITED and BETTER DAY are out i ask myself where are the people who were conmenting on Michael English’s voice, or Mark’s way or even Wess? for some reason they are the best, is not only the way they sing but the way the enjoy together

I saw and heard Michael English for the first time on the Reunion dvd’s and though I have many Homecoming dvd’s bought my first Gaither cd and dvd as a result of him.From now onwards I’ll buy everything that he is involved in. He was asolutely the best on both Reunions.If that is how you sound when you cannot sing anymore, in other words that no one is ( and they are good) comparable to him it just shows that his tremedous talent.

All of my life I have been listening to singers, some I have enjoyed, many I have tolerated. the only song, in the gospel vain that I have been seriously critical of, as far as I recall was, “MAMA WAS AN OLD TIME PREACHER MAN”. Come on, it takes all kinds to make up the world of gospel music. My mother was not a good singer as I recall, however, one night she, sitting in her pew, began to sing,”STAND ON THAT ROCK WHERE MOSES STOOD!” A revival broke out and more than fourty sinners were saved and baptised. I heard it said,” God would just as soon hear a crow sing as a nightingale.” What,s the point in a lot of critizem if God and Christ are lifted up.

I am surprised at how biting some of these comments are regarding Michael English.
I remember when I first heard him with the Gaithers, and how much I enjoyed his solo projects. He was then and is now a truely gifted and blessed singer.
No one here can point to a singer that 20 years later sounds exactly the same as they did when they first started. We all start to miss a step along the way as we grow older. But I was so very pleased as I heard the New Gaither Vocal band sing the other night in concert. How amazing those voices as they blended and sang. I was most pleased to hear how strong Michaels voices sounded, and when he did his solo, he brought the house down.
Lets be honest here, we all have our favorite singers, we think that some are better than any others. But lets not discount the man that faced his demons head on, worked hard to do exactly what God wanted him to do, and is now sharing thru both song and testimony his journey home.
I think Michael English has many years of singing and sharing left in him, and he has aged quite nicely. I encourage him to continue to sing, to make that joyful song heard. I for one am very happy to hear him sing once again on stage with Bill and company. Its been way overdue.
Thanks!

The old statement, “Christians are the only ones who shoot their wounded” has never been more true than the shit I see put out by you so-called music critiques. You guys are the most bitter, unhappy, critical, pieces of garbage that have ever existed. This website would work best if it were shut down. Jealousy is rampant on this website. Obviously there are enough people who like it to put it on the Billboard charts for the last 5 weeks straight. Obviously there are managers and agents and record labels who are in 100% support of this project.
You should be ashamed of yourself, and how poorly you represent this God you claim to love.

I agree Gaithergirl. I haven’t watched many of the Homecoming shows since David Phelps left, and I was shocked by Guys appearance. He looked frail and unwell. He looks like he has aged 10 years in the last 3.

Different than any of the above comments my concern was w/Guy. He looked very tired and very thin. I hope he is not all, especially in light of the recent retirement from GVB. Am I the only one that noticed?
I thought he sounded agreat though!

The criticisms may be technically all that, but when I listen to old friends and family, I am not listening as a professional… I’m listening to them because of who they are and what they have done and what they have meant to me and many others and of course what they have done for the Lord’s work. Of course, I realize it’s business to them, the performers, but its not to me, and if I want to indulge in some nostalgia at the cost of musical perfection, than I’m in.

Sorry,I posted before i finished.I also have
a concern and commitment to use whatever
means is available,to lift up Jesus in love for
the sake of the unsaved.Music,being the
main focus on this site,let me say,we have
a great oppertunity to show them,Jesus is
the best thing that ever happened to anyone.Constructive criticism can be a means of improvement,but let the world see
that we respect one and all.Thank you wade!

The embedding of the video was removed, but you can find it on YouTube.

As far as the lyric change, I had noticed it too at the time, it might have been nothing more than not remembering the proper word.

The link didn’t take me any place and I was terribly disappointed. I would have given my eye tooth to have been in that audience and I can’t tell you how excited I am just thinking about when I will receive a dvd of the Reunion.

You who run down the artists should be ashamed of yourselves. There is great talent there….and y’all probably can’t sing a lick. If you don’t like them, then don’t buy the cd….it’s just that simple. I can’t imagine you wasting your time even talking about them….go out and get a job.

Well, the link took me to a video. Is this not the same one that was up before?
And here’sa questiontha hasn’t yetbeen addressed, and I think it’s really, really important: Why was “they did, too” changed, to “they were, too” in the chorus? I thought I was misremembering, but I checked the older clip someone posted and the lyric was indeed changed.

Somebody must have had second thoughts about releasing this clip as a premiere promo for the upcoming DVD, because it has been taken off You Tube.
