I’m clear that, in this fast-paced age of information and technology, one needs to be easily accessable and available, lest he or she miss some very important news and/or opportunities.
But some kat on an episode of the Bobby Jones International Gospel Retreat took it to a whole… ‘notha… level by stepping on stage to sing background vocals with a bluetooth in his ear. I had hoped it was an in-ear monitor, but… no. It was a bluetooth.
So, allow me to take this time to beseech you artists– do not perform with a bluetooth in your ear. And, as I saw a few weeks ago and decided I’d not mention (until now), don’t perform with your cell phone and holster on your hip. What does it mean? Why would you need it in the middle of a performance? And if you don’t need it, I have to assume that you’re wearing it as an accessory, the purpose of which is COMPLETELY unclear to me… when did electronic gadgets become fashion accessories?!
No, you’re trying to be cool and hip and what not cuz you think gadgets are status symbols. And what exactly IS your “status” on a ministry stage? Quit that.
And that’s what’s buggin’ me.
Since we're here, we might as well have church. In saying that, I mean that since we're talking about status on stage, we might as well talk about sunglasses on stage. Seriously, though, what sun is shining INSIDE of a building, unless you're in some greenhouse-like-atrium?! Give me a break!
Gives me a whole new reason to throw my shoe at someone. I really hate the ones that have the christmas-esque blinking lights on them.
well...i am guilty of leading worship a few times with it on my belt...then i think why am i carrying this extra weight, in-ear monitor body back and this cell phone clip too? so i'll take it off and put it behind my piano. sorry...i just don't think about it, i guess cuz its on me all the time. this normally happens only for mid-week service, which is a lil more laid back. forgive me! but you're right, u dont need it!
As I read this I laughed because I thought it was only me. Get this, talk about texting while playing the piano. I had that in one of our events. That is a no no. What happen to respect and professionalism.
