What's with the butu Gospel music?

It's been a while since I write to you, and that's because I have been so busy doing what seems to be a million things all at once. I am trying to find that balance that will allow me enough time to focus on blogging.

Well, this is something that I need to address so I here i come: I am amazed at some of these co-called Caribbean gospel artists and the people who support them! How much more can we allow God's name to be ruined by some of these "singers" who sound like a freight train as soon as they open up their mouth, whatever happen to talent; has it become a thing of the past?

There's quality gospel, and there is "butu" gospel. Butu gospel is that which is poorly produced, poorly mixed, poorly packed and poorly delivered by singers who need to keep their day job and stay far away from a recording studio. The sad thing about it, is that some of these artists are convinced that they can sing, and those who cheer them on is no better than they are!

As a radio host and owner of 2 Internet gospel stations, some of these artists music will never be heard on any of my stations. There has to be a combination of talent and quality. The sad thing is that there are radio stations popping up everywhere that are supporting this mess call Caribbean gospel music.
