Is It Like Frank Edwards Is Loosing It?i Think We Have To Pray For Him by CHARLYX9: 6:57am On Jul 20, 2015 |
Few years Ago frank edwards use to be this vibrant gospel singer that i used to know cause his songs brings back a lot of memory to your mind in other to remember that there is a God in heaven who answers prayers of those who diligently seek him and i was at peace with all his songs i neva found fault in any of them but recently the guy is turning up another different image.Starting from one of don meon's favourite frank edwards' songs titled "OKAKA" as he said on this youtube video which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlhwfWHlk5I which sounded secular not christian kind at a point i asked myself whats the difference between this song and psquare's song titled "BUNIE YA ENU" see the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV_zjss2nlY cause this two songs songs sounds alike in terms of making it look like some christian kind music which is not because this kind of song shouldn't be performed in the church but i do see frank edwards go to peoples' church to perform this and they entertain it if thats the case why can't churches call psquare to perform theirs too as they did for korede bello.okay well said so waited for his latest release again cause i thought that song to be a mistake.But here you have him with his new song "SELFIE" and "OVERTAKE FT JOE PRAIZE" which is too secular even the pictures tells it all cause i can't differentiate the chainsmokers song titled "SELFIE" LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdemFfbS5H0 with Frank edwards song titled "SELFIE" even the photocover seems the same.check out his release: http://praiseworldradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Frank-Edwards-Selfie-ft-Gil-Nkay.mp3 Again his song with Joe praize titled "OVERTAKE" is out of it and the photocover looks more like an olamide and wizkid live concert kind even when you listen careful you notice frank edwards rapping in igbo like seriously i thought it to be phyno if not that the song had a title(02:06 to 02:22) as a matter of fact he sounded better than phyno and you can also download it from here: http://www.praiseworldradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Frank-Edwards-Overtake-ft-Joe-Praize.mp3 WHAT I WANNA KNOW IS IT THAT FRANK EDWARDS IS LOOSING IT?CAUSE THIS THE SAME ARTIST THAT USE TO CRITICIZE OTHER GOSPEL ARTISTE OF SINGING SECULAR MUSIC BECAUSE THEY THINK THERE IS NO MONEY IN GOSPEL MUSIC IN EACH AND EVERY CONCERTS HE GOES TO THAT WHAT HE KEEPS ON TELLING PEOPLE TO TAKE HIM FOR AN EXAMPLE THAT HE SINGS GOSPEL MUSIC AND GOD STILL BLESSES HIM SO WHY SHOULD GOSPEL ARTISTE INDULGE IN SECULAR MUSICS.WHAT I LATER CAME TO CONCLUDE IS THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT HIS HE NOT THE ONE SINGING SECULAR MUSIC NOW.NLANDERS WHAT YOUR TAKE ON THIS? 1 Like

Hey, I avoid videos when it comes to my favourite songs. Ok. 2nd base. A CE (sweet) woman introduced FE's songs to me and since then, I have been a die hard fan. Well, I do not think it's true (in actual fact, it is senseless and baseless what just said). Just let d guy be abeg. |

CHARLYX9: I have listened to Okaka and the lyrics are not secular. Its upbeat and funky but definitely not secular. I don't think the way it sounds has anything to do with being secular. Like you pinpointed, its Don moen's fav. You definitely can't tell me he just loves the song without fully understanding the message it portrays. I haven't heard SELFIE but I doubt its secular either. 1 Like |

shaiba:get me what i mean is that you can't play such kind of song in the church neither can you use as praise and worship you wouldn't feel the presence of the holyspirit compared to his hit songs like:mma mma,ogeneh do,i see him,omemma eh e.t.c even donnie mcclurkin and don meon endorsed this at experience 2014 and 2013.he even said that after donnie mcclurkin heard oghene do by frank edwards he started ending his songs with the word "oghene do" 1 Like |

CHARLYX9: Now if this is your point, you are very funny dude. So the fact that a song is played in the club makes it secular? Or the fact that the beat sounds like your contemporary upbeat 9ja songs makes it secular? Following your simple analogy, if I decide to seat on a table rather than use the chair, does that make the table a chair? Have you ever heard something called music genre? Do you even know what kinda genre FE is into? Would you consider Rock, Jazz, Fuji, Christian songs as secular? Emancipate yourself from religion bruv. Religion ain't Christianity!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

kinglekan:Then if thats the case i think you also get this analogy right into your head the world is divided into two parts good and evil so its either something is good or evil and its either a music is secular or Gospel in nature and its either you serve God or Devil 1 Like |

@ OP..... Like someone said above, there is such a thing called Genre. I wonder what you will do if you hear Christian Rock songs/ badas.s metallica. Will you then say it is song from devil's congregation like some have said? Not all christian songs have to be sorrowful. Put a little beat into it. Many people love such songs. 2 Likes |

debada:what is christian rock nothing like such exist rock n roll is rock n roll froget that name tagged with it this is a way the devil infiltrate the christian world to deceive people that this is music can you sing that in church today neither can you call those possessed entity(metallic band) to perform in the chuch if you are sane.God is of a calm spirit whats all this lousiness with metallic bant.then back to frank edwards what i am just noticed is not that people you mix with at times can some times influence you to shock you do you even know that frank edwards has a song with M.i on M.i last year album check it so when he keeps mixing with this kind of people what kind of song do you expect him to be churning out the congregation when ask to come and perform for example his recent single/collabo(selfie/overtake) is off it if he tries to perform that in the church.just take your time and listen to that overtake ft joe praiz i almost mistaked him for phyno cuz he sounded like that secular artist(phyno) which you might even mistake for party mix and try get am not trying to say that he should always sound sorrowful not all christian music sounds srrowful but some you can still feel mthe presence of God.e.g Lara george-Dansaki,infinity-only grace,god dey-forgotten the artist but he just amazed me with a new single titled "ONYE" and "WHERE THE STORY BEGAN FT ROCKTOWN ALL STARS"(http://notjustok.com/2015/07/22/frank-edwards-ft-mr-noble-nkay-gil-pastor-saki-where-the-story-began/ http://notjustok.com/2015/07/23/video-frank-edwards-onye-the-story/) so i later came to conclude maybe its a trait even in pastors today you see them say this today then come tomorrow you see them saying another thing.my 2 cents 1 Like |

OP, if you have been attending Frank Edwards' shows, you'll notice that he often makes it clear that he wants to be a tool winning "the souls of youths" for Christ. This means he wants to convince the youths that they can do a lot of fun things "in Christ." Like dance and sing in a crazy manner for Jesus. If you worship in pentecostal churches like Winners and Christ Embassy, you'll understand that their pattern of worship is quite different from that of Roman Catholic Church and Anglican Church. In the former, you see a situation where people dance their lives out in praise which will seem odd and unacceptable to someone from the latter. Remember that Frank Edwards is a product of Christ Embassy where worshippers even turn churches to disco hall - dancing and singing for Jesus. Speaking of rap, there are lots of Christian rap music and funky Christian rock bands in America. Yes, I guess we are not used to it yet in Africa that's why it appears weird to many people. I also feel Frank shouldn't take this pattern of music too far so that people don't feel he's derailed. 2 Likes |
