basically i think we all shouldn't attack her statement over the
fact that some of you think she looks ugly/sings badly- it has no
connection whatsoever. I'm not from city harvest, nor am i a total
anti-christian... i just hope we all can see it in a balanced thing
and not just going on a flame run...
although some stuff she does are mega controversial (low cut dress,
secular involvements), and she's reiterated the fact that she's not
a pastor- we shouldn't write off CHC just like that, even if its a
commercial church and all (by the way she's the CEO of CHC). from
reading her story, the 42 boyfriends are more of a way to show that
her life's been transformed after becoming a christian... and not
to show that she's real popular and all that stuff.
anyway, although i disagree with some of her actions (like really
trying to create a buzz and so on), i think much of the stigma we
singaporeans have is that we assume that celebrities (whose image
in our eyes is moulded by the likes of J.Lo and other "loose"
sluts) cannot be involved in religious stuff, or lead religious
organizations. just think... you'll see that our image of a pastor
is that he's a pastor, and that celebs are just for being celebs
and nothing else...
yeah so just for the record her songs are pretty popular overseas
and all... and seriously the rubbish about christians buying
records to support her, well, christians in singapore hardly number
10% of the population- how would it surpass 5566 unless it was
something popular? and not to mention those countries overseas have
even fewer percentage of christians... US would be a different
story altogether, but i figure it'll have to be quite good to be on
no.1 on the billboard chart.
as for attracting attention, i figure if she wasn't such a
controversial figure it would be pretty normal... and we would
treat her as well a celeb. and nobody even bothers about the fact
that foster was damn excited about her... oh well we singaporeans
didnt even care when fann wong hit hollywood did we?
btw is corraine may a christian? her lyrics sound very christian
like...
yeah so for everyones reference:
