what about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_alyyRqh61M&
its both christian and theres drugs in it..

Muisje, that's a totally different thing.. she means pro-drugs songs... the song u mean (which is a great one btw) tries to tell that God also love drugs addicts, pimp, paedophiles, whores u name it ..

yeah i know, and she'll problably like that song (i think) but some parents wont let their chrildren listen to any songs with drugs, without first finding out if its pro drugs or not. i was wondering how her parents think about that..

do you think dat also reggaeton is bad? cuz my frend gave me a copy dat was totally awesome and it was christian reggaeton but parents dont exactly like it but then they never sed any thing about not wanting me to listen to it

They are strict about some music, they prefer Christian music. But all they don't want is me and my siblings listening too cuss words in music. Look, just show then proof, like a video interview. Or a written interview, I know they talk a lot about God in those.

And I just noticed that Jeremy Camp had those peircings! Yuck. But anyhow,I listen to his voice,not his face.

So do Jason and Dan from Hawk nelson, But I just listen to their music.

i mean, c'mon!! wats up wit dat?!?!?!

maybe you should try having them read some of their interviews?
bc in them they talk about the meaning of the songs ang stuff
bc a lot of ppl don't think HN is Christian but is you listen, REALLY listen to what their saying they go pretty deep into Christianity

My dad don't care 'bout that, I listen only good music 'nd when my dad ask me what the song 'says' I show him the songtext + translating (I'm Dutch)

But I mean I actually think Christian music is a lot more better than any other kind of music, so even though my parents don't care, I listen to it. A lot of non-christian music is okay and I like some of it, but half of it is full of stuff you really don't want to hear.

Christian music rox. It has stuff you WANT to hear.

a lot more better? sorry... my old 8th grade english teacher just e-mailed me telling me the gender of her baby (due a day before my b-day!) so i e-mailed her back trying to get it as grammaticaly correct as possible. so now im correcting everyones sentences, its driving my mom nuts....

but yea Christian music is a lot better than non Christian.

i feel some secular music can open a lot of negative doors. not all secular music is bad but the message of the song is really (what i feel) what matters

OMG TOBY MAC ROCKS.

so like barlow girl. there rock.. do u lisen to them.

im not allowd to lisen to underouth and means and the screem stuff

OMG Tobymac is awesome. But...My mom won't stop dancing to "Made to love" its SO annoying.

I like screaming but mainly where there screaming and singing. My parents allow that.

LOL
well, my mom can't get over the fact that i listen to him.
cuz see, i grew up absolutely HATING rap, or anything the slightest bit closest to rap.
then i found out a bout tobymac
i got one of his cds and all i did was listen to him. or id watch kj-52's revenge of the nerds music video over and over.... my mom came up to my room once and asked with a surprized look on her face, is that rap i hear!!??
it was funny...

For some reasons I absolutely can't stand rap. But tobymac is an exception, he was in DC talk.

i used to love toby...but i just don't like him that much anymore...maybe cuz like everyone on the (now no-existent) pillar boards and my bros were constantly dissing him, then i stopped listening to his music cuz, well, i guess cuz i had other stuff to listen to. i just started listening to him again. i haven't heard any of the stuff on portable sounds. but about my parents, they only let me listen to Christian music. i don't mind cuz i don't want to polute my mind with all that other bad stuff. my mom likes KJ-52 (i <3 KJ!!!!!!!!!!!) and Cross Movement and Grits and...she likes rap. so do my bros and me. me and one of my bros like rock too [Christian of course) but my mom doesn't like anything with screaming in it. we're not allowed to listen to like underoath, but we don't want to anyway. i luv disciple, but my mom doesn't but we're still allowed to listen to them. i'm not allowed to listen to skillet cuz i bought rebirthing off itunes and my mom was like "i don't think its right to compare getting saved to a baby dying before its born". i explained to her what the song was about and that wasn't it at all, but she didn't get it. my dad heard it in the car w/ me and my bro one day and we were telling him why our mom didn't like it and he thought she was wrong, so he said something about it to her later and she said "is that that song about the person dying in the womb?" that was all she got out of it and my bro who hates rock complained so much about how stupid it was that my mom just banned skillet. not cool :[

wow. that wuz really long. my mom like sk too.

did i mention i'm a rapper?

my soundclick
some of the stuff on there isn't too good and Dear KJ is definitely my worst song, i know its horrible

Wow, Skillet is awesome. Maybe you could buy some of the softer songs..like "You are my hope" thats the best song ever. It has no screaming or anything, its a worship song, they sang it in my church. I mean at least you could listen to that.

Toby is awesome. I saw him in concert recently for my radios stations 25th year thingy. I got 21 videos LOL Well, I did have to delete half of them, but oh well. I love him, I got a shirt that says "Tobymac is my homeboy" (they were out of the rest, and this one barely fits me but idc) and on the back it says "Jesus is my savior".So true.

my parents let me listen to whatever i want, which i really appreciate, but i can tell they like it better that i've started getting into more Christian bands. and i kinda feel better, too.
