Why Christian Cover Songs Are So Cringe 

NOOOO THEY GOT GABI!!

I Shall Not

Get that bag Gabby 😈

i love how you give me so much New hate towards people, it's honestly a talent waking other people up better ánd more hateful than before. great vid as always p.s. we are rooting for you.

You should’ve talked more about white people and Christians tendency to steal art, and then demonize the original creators, and how trying to convert people to your religion is hard-core weird and gives colonist vibes

SOMEONE SAID IT! As a Christian artist I am often so bored with contemporary Christian music/art. Because it’s so overly focused on pushing the gospel (which isnt a bad thing) that it completely forgets to have any artistic merit (which IS a bad thing!!)

This is so true! Reminds me of an ex friend of mine who at one point seriously considered stop listening to any music that doesn’t praise god like why are you so boring??? Why everything you do has to center Jesus

👏👏👏 yesssss. slapping a "jesus sticker" on it.... just doesn't cut it. I know they mean wel but like...... we can do better.

@@djoctobeat5204 Oh how the mighty have fallen. Religion for most of human history was the most prevalent source of creativity and art across the world. Now an exceptionally vocal minority of Christians don't understand metaphors or subtlety.

Yes, it's sad that those Christians just completely "ruin" the comuinity, they put us under a bad light for other religions

I can deny that Christian secular version of songs I like are really bad and I’ve never liked them. And I’m a private Christian as well who loves and listen to a lot of different music from around the world and Take me to church is song that I love to

@@Superbatmanbro same to both of yall tbh

Ok

As someone who has been listening to Christian songs on the radio since childhood, singers back then used to be more passionate about music and God nowadays you can obviously tell which songs are made for profit and which songs are not

@@cranburrey In the 80's-90's the Christian labels got into bed with he major labels. Now they're either distributed by outright owned by the majors.

A lot of religious people just have 0 media literacy skills from being taught not to form their own opinions on things, I guess.

that is definitely not true

Omg same on the Montana Christian radio 😂

@@abigailgerlock8328someone debunked you try again

FR I USUALLY CAN'T STAND ANY CHRISTIAN OR COUNTRY MUSIC(bc of how unoriginal and nails on a chalkboard over used and boring to the point I'd rather rip my ear canals our then be forced to listen. I mean this from a musical standpoint btw, if you like those genres good on you.) BUT HE MAKES SUCH BANGERS‼‼🔥 Also it was funny asf to watch no one else get what it meant💀 When unholy dropped and they sang and the grammies my church had a 1 hour and 30 minute "sermon"(rant) just about how demonic they are and how kim should die and that kim and sam are going tom the lowest pits of hell WITHOUT EVER KNOWING THE MEANING OF THE SONG😭😭⁉ They just get angry and whine like a baby to mislead others into doing the same before bothering to properly educate themselves..

They act like the devil will come and rip of their cross necklace lol

@@CreativelyUninspired596 YEAH😭

The idea of rewriting a song about unhealthy relationships is so weird because, we have songs about healthy relationships. That’s approximately 50% of the love/relationship song category

but we can't enjoy most secular music. that's why people rewrite it.

@@borahaeist3215 most secular music? Like what-? I get that you can't listen to rappers or many pop girls... But ya'll still have A LOT MORE. Like don't simmer people like Doja Cat to that Paint the Town Red song or Don't generalize SZA to Kill Bill. They have plenty more songs that don't mention anything religious, but yes many of the songs may involve "sinful acts" but just like what gabi says, skip it. If you want mainstream and popular artists, maybe listen to people like Taylor Swift, Melanie Martinez, Olivia Rodrigo, The Weeknd, plenty of their music can maybe fit into what you like. OR MAYBE LISTEN TO COUNTRY, SOUL, AND JAZZ MUSIC-

GOOD FOR YOU I'M GLAD YOU'RE HAPPY AND HEALTHY LIKE ME GOSH I'M SO GLAD I CAN DO THAT 😊

Dude I listen to Joji all the fucking time, (hell I’m going to his concert next week) never once have I been in a relationship, much less had a bad breakup, and let’s be fr now that’s the subject matter for like 80% of his music. That doesn’t mean I can’t still get so much enjoyment out of it! I can appreciate the quality of the lyrics, vocals, production, and instrumentation that come together to convey a feeling, even if I personally haven’t felt it before. Not everything needs to be catered to YOUR specific life experience for you to find value in it, in fact, I think it’s important to consume art that conveys all sorts of experiences separate from your own. That’s part of how we create understanding between one another as people, by finding ways to see the world from different perspectives we didn’t consider before.

This is the best example I’ve seen

Fun fact: A lot of modern Christmas songs were written by Jewish people lol

@@thewonderlander1372 irony strikes hardest when the punchline is the funniest

You should remix them to make them Jewish 😮

@@thewonderlander1372 lol

I mean, an argument could be made that Unholy is normalizing that behavior, which isn't exactly great, but you're not wrong that the song doesn't frame it as a good thing.

I immediately started thinking of hymns I used to sing in the LDS church hahahah

The problem is christian songs mostly suck

Did this all the time! There's the whole "Jesus is my boyfriend" sub-genre of Christian music that's so easy to turn into regular love songs.

@@kylesmith5633 they'd also probably find a way to turn that into how they're so "persecuted" and that it's offensive

⁠@@L0cal_Librarianpretty sure they’re on Gabi’s side

​@@L0cal_Librarianits called a "cover" for a reason people do covers and change the lyrcis everytime but when Christians wanna do their on little cover with their own things its a problem even though everyone is doing it. If you dont like the cover i dont get why its so hard not to listen to it like trust me you can find original songs easier then covers and such like just listen to the original dont listen to something you know your gonna get triggered by.

Why not ?@@Remyatta

But when people do covers they don't change the lyrics do they ? I don't like listening to christian covers anyways but my fyp brings it up. @@NT-gi7lb

I wish I could retweet this comment or post it somewhere for more people to see

Agreed. There's also something to be said about creativity and being open-minded (i.e. not hating lgbt people).

Totally! If they did what Gabbie is suggesting and respected the source material to actually critical think on the message they could learn how negative the erasure of the original meaning in these works are.

It's because they literally don't see the message of "I have been harmed by what Christians said". Because these types of Christians don't think they can do anything wrong. "We can't traumatise a young gay black man, because trauma is an act of harm, and why, we were only spreading the word of Jesus! Lil Nas is a sinner, not really a human with a rich inner existence. You're an NPC. I can't harm you, because you're just a walking talking manifestation of sin for me to monologue at to feel better about myself!" It's very much the Victim/Attacker mentality. People often think of themselves as one or the other: the Victim, or the Assailant. Christians like this are obsessed with being persecuted. They cannot cause harm. They can only BE harmed. They are BLIND to the message Lil Nas was saying, because that would destroy their entire moral foundation of the self.

@@CiCodiCadno I'm a gay black male myself and I personally don't mind christain covers. In my opinion unless their inciting violence in their covers they don't bother me. I do agree with some of your points though.

you can tell they want those follower count to skyrocket... all while not making an effort on producing said project

Yeah. They’re supposed to love everyone, right? Or something like that I don’t know. So why are they dismissing trauma? Trauma that real people have to endure, not your God that can’t even be proven real. Besides he’s already perfect according to most Christians, so he’s not going to get his feelings hurt over a few non-believers.

That’s such a good song tho. I’m still Christian, I believe in God, I don’t go to church currently and am still dealing with the role religion plays in my life. The song resonates with me, I think it’s so insensitive for people to just dismiss it when it has so much meaning

I LOVE THIS SONG BUT MY MOM (who is christian) WOULD GET SO MAD WHEN I WOULD TURN IT ON

Or another song would be, take me to church, which a lot of Christians thought to be a Christian song as it had the words amen and church in it. After then finding out it's about religious trauma and homophobia from the church immediately turning around and saying it's "blasphemy" despite the fact it's a song about religious trauma and then making covers of it, completely eradicating the purpose of the song

@@LuckythecatZ- Or Genesis - Jesus He Knows Me which is about Televangelists Greed yet somehow Christians believe its a song about Affirming Jesus lol They really just interpret art on a very superficial level.

I tried searching up the relationship between the Catholic Church and Irish people that you mentioned, but I'm unable to find anything concrete. Can you educate me on this matter?

I understand totally, thank you for your worthy comment friend. God is great, religiosity is shite!

​@@rerorero6493Aside from the fact that the partition of Northern Ireland and Ireland is related to animosity between Catholics and Protestants (and has a lot to do with the willingness to accept being part of Great Britain), there is also, as an example, the issues of unwed mothers and their infants being abused, on a large scale. There are other issues too, like rape, sexual assault, and children buried in mass graves, but it doesn't take much digging to find this information. It's very surface.

Its also about gay ppl

@@rachelk4805 Oh wow, thankyou for your response. I'm going to try and search more about this topic, I just gave a quick 5 minute glance on Google the first time so, gonna try harder now lol. Thanks again!

@@WinniePooh33 lmao nice

I guess it’s only a problem when you address religious trauma or use the devil as a metaphor-

Actually, it's more of not using the word 'devil' in a certain context like "she a devil" or "i'm making deals with the devil", because believe it or not, words are actually very powerful so saying those kind of things even unironically may affect your mindset, hence the remixes. But they're just...cringe. They should just make a normal Christian pop song that people would love, instead of these...atrocities.

Same

I agree

That is, after all, what the Bible says non-believers are like

Lol as a believer I'm still depressed as the day is long 😅 I hate how stigmatized being depressed is in most religions

as an atheist, thats why i hate christian books and movies

I can't understand how people can see any of the mainstream religions as "religions of love" when they're nothing more than cults hating on outsiders, there's no logic on what's actually good and bad

Also they’re not even straight up saying “fuck god, fuck Jesus, etc.” (Which they totally could!) They’re criticizing the actions of people and institutions. I’m sure there are lots of Christian’s who can relate to the criticisms of the church they’re singing about (I was one of them when I was a Christian) and claiming that you can’t listen to a song that criticizes a religious institution that you’re related to - even vaguely - is, I don’t know, NOT good

YES SPEAK YOUR TRUTH like montero is a criticism on Christianity's belief on LGBTQ+ people, and I dont actually know what take me to church is about. and the fact that there are christian covers being made only strengthens the points of the songs

It’s so weird too because there’s been talking in the Catholic Church (like I’m talking headquarters, in the Vatican) about allowing priests to preside over same sex marriages. Like there’s a chance that demonising and rejecting and discriminating against LGBTQ+ people will actually no longer be part of the religion, but I doubt that’ll stop these people from continuing to be bigots

Meh

@@chart6454now but yourself in their shoes, if you got rejected for being yourself it wouldn’t be that meh

I love when they get personally offended at me for "taking the lords name in vain". Like, homie, it's my eternal soul, if I'm cool with risking True Death, then that's my deal. Irrelevant to you. Also then they call me slurs and get surprised when it annoys me lol

but some christians don't use slurs? its all down to a person individually lets stop restricting the label of a christian now

@@Jane-oz7pp um now imagine you were using the god of islams name? use it if its not such a big deal to you using the name of a god you dont even serve use the buddhists, hindus,seekists why only christians?

Fr

SERIOUSLY!! Like r/woooosh

LMAO (im christian btw)

real

as a christian, im dont believe that being gay is evil. even if you're gay you dont necessarily go to hell. as long as you believe that Jesus is your lord in savior you've got a spot in heaven. edit; 13 likessss ITS A SIGN FROM MOTHER

I was thinking the same thing. Taking a song that's about a dude getting killed for being gay by a bunch of christians and turning it into some worship bullshit is another level of ignorance

Ok-

Hozier, who wrote that song, highlights the harm done in the name of religion, because the Catholic Church did irreparable harm to his country.

@@Thehouseoffail That’s exactly what I’m talking about, it’s harmed that community in specific and other communities also harmed by the church also are able to relate to it in a place of pain.

@@izzoakana709yeah...

THIS!!!!! 😭

I mean not many people act like they should thank them. If they did that would be horrible but most people are just singing it another way and just making a parody like others have done.

@@commentsnowman Well, not literally like everyone should thank them but they pose as if it was common sense to make these "corrections" and the lyrics of these songs were objectively wrong before and now they made it better. They give off an extremely condescending vibe and try to pass it off as normal behaviour. They're not making a parody, they're trying to censor - there is no comic effect involved.

It is not entitlement to take something you find horrible and making it better for millions of other people who share your opinion. You are only mad because of your bias against christians but I bet you cheer on when it is the other side who does it.

​@@spawnofthedead4556 That is exactly what entitlement is in this case. This is not about some piece of technology where you can objectively improve the design in the engineering sense. This is art. Reinterpreting the whole piece in a christian way would be different (still cringe though). But "correcting" art to "make it better" has some seriously fascist vibes. If you find it so horrible, why don't you leave it as is and let it go? Maybe the artist just didn't intend this song to be for you. In this age of streaming, nobody forces you to listen to this music. This sentiment that you have a right that any piece of popular art should please you and for that reason should align with your ideology is extremely arrogant. In many ways the purpose of art is to challenge peoples views. The fact that there are a couple of others among a few billion that share questionable views doesn't make them acceptable. No, I would not cheer on someone unchristianing a christian song - that would be fucked up. I listen to Skillet every once in a while. I like the sound, I might not necessarily agree with all of their lyrics but I'm able to let it go. I think, you might just share that same sense of entitlement and are mad that I call you out.

Maybe I'm taking this too seriously but I thought about that too! I have some Christian family and its weird when people seem to only talk about black artists (ofc I know that's not entirely the case but in my experience, rap and other music by black artists seems to be hated on a little more)

@@slayyyyyyy595 it’s not taking things to serious to acknowledge racism, in fact, it’s racism to not want to acknowledge racism. I find it extremely weird that Gabby left out the massive piece of nuance in the way white people have treated people of color, especially when it comes to stealing art and demonizing it’s original creators.

​@@christinewarden3450Tbf, I am old enough to remember entire CDs of this kind of crap and they were changing Britney Spears and NSync. Rap is the most popular category of music right now, and some of the biggest creators are black. But if you dig around you can definitely find them changing white artist's music too.

White Christians have beem doing that to Black music forever: they've declared jazz, blues and rock as satanic.

SO REAL

you have all my respect.

Exactly the bible teachs humble works. WE SHOULD BE HUMBLE AND RESPECT PEOPLE.

“‘Take Me to Church’ is essentially about sex,” Hozier said in an interview with New York Magazine in March 2014, adding that “it’s not an attack on faith.”

​@@HH-mr3iqI do remember that, when explaining the song, he did clarify he was being critical about the church in some verses.

@@HH-mr3iq who cares? Religion is brainrot

Wait it is, holy shit

probably one of the best christian songs i have ever heard, a bit sad that its not really known on churches though. atleast on my country

Casually learning it’s Christian.

Yes. I first discovered the song from the animation meme, then I learned it was about Jesus.

Don't worry buddy, you get a lollipop for not being a miserable human being, keep being you, even us non-believers tend to respect the christians that actually don't force everything to be religious.

@@Nothingtoseehereanyway awe thank you, and as a Christian, I don’t think religions should be forced upon non-believers. Because what I learned, is God gave us free will to decide whether we want to follow him or not. So thank you for understanding lol 🥰

THAT'S A CHRISTIAN SONG!!! I A CHRISTIAN AND DIDN'T KNOW

The Oh Hello’s are VERY christian, but its always shown really poetically. They even recorded a christmas carol, and while I’m very much jewish and have a dislike of Christmas, its so beautiful to listen to

THATS A CHRISTIAN SONG?! DAMN I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE

All of The Oh Hellos music is Christan. The siblings who write and sing the music are practising Christians (I think). Their album, Dear Wormwood, is actually about the Screwtape Letters!

Yeah. It got really popular because of DnD and TTRPG, but it is originally a Christian song. I’m not a Christian myself but I can still enjoy it through the lens of it being about a DnD party and their backstories.

​@madix3333 You remind me of a child trying to convince their friend that santa is real and that you won't get presents if your naughty.

⁠​⁠@@thiccookiesI mean.. it’s true 🤷‍♀️ I think the person writing the song is trying to get at the fact that the Bible says that without the lord and savior and God in your life, then you will never have eternal life. Madix is truthful when they say that dying is equivalent to ethereal death in hell (used figuratively in this song lyric).

@miss.yolanda you completely missed my point lmfao Now you sound like the friend of the kid saying "well actually it's true, and Santa is real😔" I'm an atheist, this literally means nothing to me

Agreed. I was half expecting this video to just be dogging on Christianity/ Western religion but it felt honest and respectful, separating cringy artists from the whole body of Christian people and their music

the thing that irked me was the take me to church cover. the song about religious trauma and the hate MANY BUT NOT ALL christians mask as love (once again not saying thats you just saying this is often how christans are if you arent raised by a truely kind hearted church or dont learn kind ways) and hoizer specifically wrote the song to express how religion hurt his country

I believe that's mainly because for one Gabi doesn't really seem like the type of person to do that and because she said in the beginning that she grew up in a Christian and Catholic environment and plus she's also a music artist so she sees this through multiple lenses

I agree, I’m a Christian and I found this video quite entertaining. There needs to be good Christian music for once and not cringey covers of pre existing non religious music.

@@Retronomicon18 fr

Check out the theme tune to Outlander. It goes on about an English nurse falling through time and getting it on with sexy Scotsmen. The original tune is the Skye Boat Song - it's about the young Prince Charles of Scotland having to be secretly transported to the Isle of Skye, then on to France, so he couldn't be MURDERED by the English crown (in order to gain control of yet another country, which they did, as I'm sure you know). So changing the lyrics to be about some English woman getting her rocks off over a disenfranchised group is... a typically American choice. My friend's great uncle wrote that song. Now middle aged white women around the world get thirsty when it plays. Fuck's sake.

agreed, though i do assume/hope you'd be okay with leaving out slurs/offensive words.

@@jaxorisit1447 Yes. If the lyrics haven’t aged well then I find it okay. And there is also always the case of an explicit and clean version for songs but they don’t always totally change the meaning

Changing the lyrics can be good sometimes. Like changing pronouns to make a love song more gay is always allowed and good 👍

i don't know, unless they change the song to the opposite meaning of the original, i think changing the lyrics in a cover is fine, since usually its to change the meaning of the song to fit closer to what the person was going for

ur getting hella lippy

@@khara4577 back in the corner ike

Couldn't have said is better myself, bravo 👏

​@@khara4577hush, they're talking about something serious and here you are, bein silly

Also don't forget about the part where they have the nerve to get mad when secular media uses christian imagery in ways that are not explicitly christian.... like you can't shove your religion down everyone's throat for centuries to the point that when anyone says "god", assuming they the person they speak to subscribes to no gods. they immediately think of the christian deity, not Allah, Not Thanatos, Not Izanagi and then expect it not to influence people and how they interact with the world around them, like art.... whether they like it or not, Christianity is as much a part of pop culture as star wars at this point, because when something is everywhere that's just what happens

Thanks for this I know our religion is a bit pushy on the "believe in god to be saved" but we all know we gotta respect those boundries

You sound full of yourself lmao. Have you ever stopped and considered those movies are aimed at them and are not trying to change your stance.

That’s why Prince of Egypt is the best Christian movie. If it was a regular Christian movie I doubt it would have portrayed the Pharaoh and his relationship with Moses with such nuance.

@@totallybeatable9238 It's redundant and really overplayed not giving new ideas or developing new plots. Which is not relatable at all to anyone since we are always changing as a people every day. It's very much, "I'm holier than thou art." And sadly it's been stuck like that for far to long.

Thank you for this. I may not be religious (grew up Catholic/Ukrainian Orthodox but got away from that stuff), and while I know most Christians are decent people who see certain media and may say "No, I don't like that, it's not for me" before moving on with their lives, the crazy outliers make the rest look bad. It's not clever or cute to "make this un-Christian song their own," it's just cringey. I don't even care if someone takes a popular song and reinterprets it about Jesus so they can enjoy the tune with lyrics they relate to. It reminds me of what Kidz Bop does. But the smug self-satisfaction these people get when they do it and post it just creeps me out. Like you said, they really do seem to think it makes them holier-than-thou.

They can't abide the fact that not everything caters to them. That not everyone thinks like them. Anything existing that doesn't explicitly service them is immediately a threat.

So same with this Video. Why do people care if someone makes a tiktok about something u cant relate to.

@@yuzuru.u It's not that we care that they make it - look at the one example where her version was clearly a labor of love for both her religious views AND the artist. That's great. The problem is what these videos say about the people making them. They make these videos out of hate. They make these videos out of a pathological need to assimilate everything. They can't stand that something exists that doesn't fit their world view, be it music, culture, or people's personal beliefs. If you're Christian, that's great. You're free to believe whatever you want, to celebrate your beliefs however you want. But leave the rest of us out of it. People are sick to death of Christians trying to force their views on everyone else, and these kinds of videos, and the motives behind them, are reflective of that attempt to force everyone into being like them.

Well said, can be said about a lot of things the church “fears” (see: hates)

(it was a VERY complicated situation but that is what basically happened)

Yeah, I find it very sad. Just the other day I was attacked by a Christian in the comment section of a RU-vid post that had nothing to do with Christianity. They wrote a long paragraph about Jesus and made it about their religion when it was originally a heartfelt comment explaining how they can’t believe how happy they have been for the past 15 years. It had nothing to do with religion but some Christians can’t stop bringing it up. (Those types of) Christians make it their entire personality. Then some other people thought I was mocking their religion or something. If they actually read the Christian’s comments they would see that they were assuming that being an Atheist means being an angry depressed person who’s in denial.

@@HungryWardenyes like im Muslim but im not about to force people I will believe in what I believe you can do the same

omG, I WAS A BASSIST IN CHURCH FOR NEARLY 2O YRS!!!! Thank you for your comment! Still loving God but not most of the "christians!!!" 🙄Be well, friend ☺

Automatic pass to heaven

This makes me sad because it sounds like he was genuinely trying but it also sounds so cringe :(

As someone who grew up Catholic and has OCD, I can vouch for the effect this sort of mentality has on your psyche

Agreed. It can reeeeeeeally damaged your mental well-being

Some people become straight up hyperfixated on their religion to the point it takes over their daily life

yeah i can imagine how believing in an omnipotent being and mental illnesses that include delusions and paranoia would….. not mix well 😭

Yes, it 100% is! It's religious scrupulosity, and while it in itself is not a mental illness itself, if someone is predisposed to anxiety, depression, or OCD it amplifies those things and makes all those mental illnesses worse.
