Why I’m Hoarse This Morning

I woke up incredibly hoarse this morning.  I know that I talked on the phone quite a bit yesterday for business, and that I went to bed later than usual because I was celebrating at a friend’s party, but I knew neither of those things was the culprit.

Jason Nelson is to blame.

See, I listened to Jason Nelson A LOT yesterday while riding in my car. More than listening, though, I sang along.  Tried to, anyhow…

Jason’s got one of those voices that just makes you wanna try it. Like, perhaps you’ll accidentally stumble upon being able to sing like him, if only for one moment.  You’ll go hoarse trying to sing with Jason Nelson.

But Jason’s not the only one– at times, for me, it’s been Teddy Campbell, Isaac Carree, Floyd Wilkinson, Donnie McClurkin, Melonie Daniels, Kim Burrell…

And I know I’m not alone in this because I’ve driven alongside some churchy people putting on a full CONCERT in their car.

So, tell me– who is an artist that you go hoarse trying to sing with?

    I would have to say, Kim Burrell, Marvin Winans, Marvin SAPP, Kurt Carr (his singers make me want to take more cough-drops JUST so I can keep singing with them... lol) also, Kirk Franklin's BGV'S... , J-Moss (ugh, his vocal riffs and runs are the reasons that I can't sing on Sunday morning, and everyone wonders "why is Avery's voice always messed up after singing along with J-moss on a track) ALSO, lol.... Jonathan Nelson (expect the great is an amazin' song, but the morning after, it's pain for my voice... lol)... Smokie Norful, DEITRICK HADDON (his new Cd, "Church on the moon" has made my voice feel SOO much better. Lmbo...) those are only a "few"... Lmbo....
