This playlist, like the last one, was very passionate and interesting to listen to.
I really didn't like "You'd Better Mind" by the Pace Jubilee Singers. They were passionate about what they were singing but I didn't like the main woman's voice. This song was really repetitive and not fun to listen to. I thought it was pretty dull.
In "Black Diamond Express To Hell," Rev. A. W. Nix preaches almost in the form of a poem and randomly breaks out into song. He was passionate about what he was talking about. One question that I have: Is his passion for what he is talking about real or does he just want to appeal to the people he is speaking to, to keep them listening. I want to know what he looks like when he is preaching. I bet it would be very entertaining. Throughout this sermon, the Reverend would repeat certain words or phrases such as "NEXT STATION!" This stood out very clearly and made me laugh everytime he said it. He would yell this when he came to that part of his speech.
"Your Enemy Cannot Harm You (But Watch Your Close Friend)" by Edward W. Clayborn was very bluesy, similar sounding to what we have been listening to in class. It didn't seem as much like the other gospel songs on these playlists. Throughout this song, Clayborn wasn't just singing random lyrics because they would sound good or rhyme, he was instead just speaking his mind and that made it more meaningful. I thought that his voice was decent but not amazing.
I enjoyed listening to these gospel songs. I really like the way they sound and how passionate all the performers are.

Gospel Playlist 1
I actually enjoyed some of the music on this playlist. All of the singers performing these songs were very passionate about what they were singing about.
One song that stood out to me was "Move On Up A Little Higher." The woman singing had a very deep voice and was very passionate about her music. While studying and listening to blues music, it was sometimes hard to understand what was being said but this song was easy to understand and a listener could make out all of the words. I really like the piano in the background, it really added to the song. The steady pace kept the song moving along well. I like this song but the tune was somewhat repetitive. The end of the song was memorable because it just slowly winded down.
I listened to one of the sermons called "You Must Be Born Again" by Rev. Benny Campbell. This was very different from what I am used to hearing in a church. This sermon, just like the music I listened to, is very passionate. The Reverend would repeat certain words to make an imprint on people, to make them remember his message. He also breaks out into song randomly.
Another song that was memorable was "Prayer for the Doomed" by the Chosen Gospel Singers. This was an all men choir, and their low voices were very nice to listen to. I really liked their sound and the harmonizing. The main singer was very passionate. Because this song was so slow, it really makes the listener think about what is being said and what message it is sending.
One last song that was memorable was "Blind Barnabus" by the Golden Gate Quartet. They all had very good voices and have nice harmonization. This song was very upbeat and happy. It makes you want to bounce around or at least bob your head a little. The fact that the song was so upbeat made it fun to listen to. Once again, this song was very passionate like the others.
