1. Even though I wasn't feelin' You Are as a first single choice, by the time Kierra Sheard reaches the drive of the song, I quicken and faint like an old deacon in the Baptist church! *rares back and hollas* YOU AREEE [hup!] *gets stiff and falls back* *signals for the usher with the white sheet* 2. Isn't about time for a new Hezekiah Walker & Love Fellowship CD? I need that New York groove right about now. 3. Are the days of choir directors actually directing gone? Now y'all want to sing and give choreography classes. Listen to me... just because your name is in front of the & sign doesn't mean you have to sing. YOU CAN'T! (I'm looking at you small group leaders too.) 4. Hey Music World / Mr. Knowles (can I call you Matthew? Wait.. Mr. Matthew? Gotta respect my elders..) What exactly is the point of all of these "Best Of", "EP" releases? and... can we talk about the direction you're taking with Le'Andria? Please don't delete me from your mailing list. *whimpers* #ijs 5. I love it that Gospel artists are moving into acting... BUT y'all are taking acting classes though right? These plays and films aren't the annual Easter Play at New Mt. Zion First Born Church of Redemption (if that's the name of your church, my bad).

Kierra Kills You Are! Paging Hez and Love Fellowship What's Going on Music World? Just Direct Please! If I Can't Order It Online...

6. Who started this trend of releasing a basic picture from a Walgreen's single-use camera with digital releases? There are too many graphic designers out here for you NOT to have some type of CD cover. Stop it! 7. Speaking of digital releases, shouldn't digital booklets be a requirement now? 8. What's going on with Verity Records artist roster? Who's still on the island? #gospelsurvivor 9. Speaking of "artist rosters" -- aren't you interested in seeing how some of these new label signings will play out? #imwatchingu 10. Is there a reason for any artist to be selling product from their website or through Paypal? No one wants to wait until you feel like going to the Post Office. iTunes, CD Baby or Amazon. Pick one. 11. Is every artist going to include a "Praise Break" on their CD now? I see y'all in rehearsal tryna outdo the last one you heard. Shouts to Kevin Terry & Predestined for Breakthrough! The new Mashonda! *clappin and pushin* 12. Does it make you laugh when you hear a singer [or audience member] in the background of a live recording up in divers [kind of] tongues? Can you come down out of the clouds and sing your part?! Maybe it's just me. #suchaheathen
