I have to differ that "Amazing Grace" is wimpy stuff. Not if you've lived it. Maybe there's a difference there; not whether or not you can sing it, but if you can FEEL it.

And people can be technically perfect, but if they don't feel what they're singing, their singing will lack something.

Not saying that someone need be an evangelical Christian to "feel" evangelical Christian songs; obviously this is not the case, as Turtle's example clearly shows.

Singing from the head and singing from the gut are 2 different things.

There. That should stir up the hornet's nest a little. Flame away!
