That was really funny! Great clips that you hardly even notice at first. Very well made. Speaking of VERY WELL MADE… uh hem,  (uh…me, me, me, me, me – ay, is this thing on?)   "Worship" as a genre, in my most humble opinion,  goes back and forth between being a great experience and entirely boring. How many songs can be written using the chord progression G – D/F# – Em – C ? I have totally lost track. There are a lot of great songs coming out of places like England, and parts of the USA (and i have to say that Israel Houghton is one fine song-writer. Stand-up-on-your-chairs kind of songs. I've never heard congregations sing louder than to his songs). Then there's a bunch of good songs from Hillsongs.Unfortunately, I've heard all to often that CCM artists are now pretty much required by their labels to record a "Worship Album". And so, most of them not-surprizingly come-out as a roll-of-the-eyes, completely uninspired, let's-get-this-over-with kind of album.BUT, then there's the exceptions…the turn-it louder and louder in your car kind of excpetions, the "I know it's too early to blare this song, but WHO CARES. Haha." That's the stuff that you'll keep coming back to. The other…eh. (But, I suppose that in defense of "eh"… you can't really sit back and rate the kiss of a married couple can you? It is what it is… a show of affection between one and the other. But I guess when that kiss becomes a requirement "OK you two, let's have a good one,  for the camera - right on the smacker…" Then it can become very contrived.Ladies and gentlemen, I have now given you a piece of my mind.(Um, could I please have that back sometime? thanks!).
