Teena Marie's 'Eye Is On The Sparrow'
There are certain rules during singing competitions. Number One is usually, "You can't boo the Lord." So some competitions don't allow gospel songs, just so they won't seem too harsh if the singer is awful less than good. That's how I felt watching this clip of Teena Marie performing "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" at this year's Trumpet Awards during a tribute to the Tuskegee Airmen. I felt like it just shouldn't have been allowed. It's just not my cup of 'Tee'. In fact, if I could be harsh, the clip would be called "His Side-Eye Is On The Stage." But I can't, since you're not supposed to boo the Lord. So I won't. What I will say is if you'd like to see more, be sure to check out the Trumpet Awards when the show airs Easter Sunday at 8 pm EST on TVOne.

Booooo! I'm not booing the Lord, I'm booing her. Come on Tina. I love you girl, but this was a ridiculously over done MESS!

I'm disturbed by two Teena-hatin' posts in one week. I'mma need the Soulbounce crew to back off - lol.

Vette | April 10, 2009 3:10 PM | PermalinkAre we watching the same video? I didn't see anything wrong with her performance and the crowd loved it.
SSA | April 10, 2009 3:27 AM | PermalinkI don't even have to view that clip to know she was horrible. She did the same thing on the Celebration of Gospel earlier this year.
Miss K | April 9, 2009 9:55 PM | PermalinkI've never thought Teena Marie was impressive.
