Melvin Crispell the III was endowed, gifted anointed and blessed with his parents musical talents and gifting. I know he was on Sunday's best but I think he woud have gotten to this level whether he appeared on that show or not, just because of who his parents were. I miss both of them so much. I'm sure that as he's being groomed by different artists, he will learn a lot more. 🙂😇

Melvin is a bad boy!!!!! My god, that dude right there. He is gonna have a place in gospel history

[@ericmutahi3205]

The keys is amazing

[@nooniepoo4776]

My all time favorite that Donnie McClurkin SANG is “Speak To My Heart”. That song gives me chills every time.

[@dwyaneohmar9418]

Amazing!!! Melvin is getting prepared for these Big Stages.. And Christina as well

[@velboone6041]

They already READY

[@Arthur1tiffany1]

Amen they ready lord!

[@biazedieunang6385]

When I see him aging it just makes me feel so sad cause It’s always the beginning of the end. I love him so much that I don’t know how I’ll react to the fact that there’re very few vocalist like Donnie who are filled with the true spirit of God which when just listening their songs it brings you straight into the presence of God!! 😭 . These are ministers who dwell in the midst of prayers all the time other than singing. Because it’s only prayers that makes a beautiful singer dynamic and their songs spirit filled! I love you Donnie!!

[@1Chicanery]

Donnie old school. He trying to pull vocal quality out of them. Skills are one thing but quality is a big picture technique. They are crazy skilled but so are many others they will encounter at churches they will travel to in their careers. But not many have full quality. I can see them getting there in their own unique ways! God will always make room for your purpose through the gifts He gave! God Bless them on their journey and keep them and their gifts under your wings!! Sing for Jesus loves!!

[@doedoebird6614]

Yeah word ad libing is very important in gospel not just runs...notice Donnie live version of stand he’s singing but still using words and not more focused on words. I’m glad u caught that

This made me cry deeply! Extremely beautiful. It is visible the presence of God here. God bless all of them and us.

[@shenquejames7598]

I love Christina Bell since her Z'iel days. She is baddd

[@okebaram]

Yes!

[@welcomehlongwane5381]

Melvin 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙆🏽‍♂️ brother can saaaaang yay

[@warrenking7854]

Melvin has one of those Nikki Ross voices... it’s really special, a treat. Can’t sing that voice to hard it’s delicate.. his tonality is crazy

[@thekaerichtexas]

Yeah u probably right

[@Karensinger9]

As long as he treats his voice correctly and knows how to sing from his diaphragm and not from his throat which could damage his vocal cords, he will be fine. Plus the fact that his gift is anointed by God he has no worries!

[@cocomcknight6712]

Jesus Christ!😳The keyboard player is on fire🔥

[@devaughnlumpkin]

Omg he going crazy 🔥

[@jonrych]

[@chrissyh3270]

Yessssss!!!!

[@mckoyregina]

Melvinnnnnn

[@saramcintosh8330]

They sound great and one day we will see it's not about how well we sing but about Jesus being in those ad libs. Runs and saying nothing. Donnie training is good. He can really show these singers some things. Know the scriptures and know GOD in The Person of Lord Jesus Christ.

[@mytestimonyisreal5024]

Sara McIntosh Very well said! Truth! Amen 🙏🏽

[@ericmutahi3205]

He is a beast

[@kevinmurrell6623]

That bro is fire

[@whatwassaid2314]

I'm glad Donnie McClurkin is mentoring Melvin. He has a lot of growing to do vocally and professionally. I hate that we put people up because they can do vocal tricks. For Gospel, it takes anointing, vocal agility (yes), range, power, and a bit of showmanship. And you can still win souls for Christ ✊🏽❤

[@Deerych]

You can't win nobody's soul for shit. So, quit acting you can. Let's hear your rendition and vocal ability. You probably can't even sing, talking about somebody's anointing. You can't even show your face. Coward...shut it.

[@MrDWoods]

Dee Rich BWAAHHH 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤯

[@j221985]

Dee Rich Right!

[@sirtheross9965]

Pray & cry 😢 lord. Pray and cry lorddddd

[@briannamanuel2360]

[@mrtee8674]

Gospel Music Industry...I rest my case.

[@jmorg044]

sad....;lets just pray

[@TheJan68]

Play that instrument sir🎶

[@tab2tab]

Can you say anointed -

[@aaronnewman7573]

i wish they would’ve passed evvie the mic

[@abelin5568]

sometimes you just have to sing the song straight and let the message do the rest.

[@EOEDesigns]

Melvin need be slapped in his face 🤣🤧

[@jmorg044]

No oil jus vocal acrobatics

[@jmorg044]

tooooo much ,,,screw the tricks,,minister,,,,,there is a different between annointing and vocal ability,,,unfortunately alot of the new artist jus run and hit notes,,,,,i felt nothing ,,,,,talk and minister to the people dont do tricks,,,,,its boring and there is no annointing

[@eightfigs3508]

Christina Bell is a great singer. Look up some of her old.videos.

[@jmorg044]

Nique Lasster let me let you know something. You don’t need to take a moment to minister as a moment to massage yo ego and let people know how well you sing. The issue is the modern church has become so self indulged .... if no response sing harder , hit more high notes , growl blah blah that is not of God....... ministering isn’t about self. Can she sing yes does she overisng yes. Even on Sundays best Johnathan had to remind Melvin hey tell the story first then open up a little....... FACTs people b goin off for runs and all the antics but let a singer ie Carrie Underwood sing they jus as dry no applause or nothing but when a Christina bell starts doin extra they wana yell.. same things with pastors .. we are moved off the wrong things ... Donny told them to just sing ... there’s is a difference in singing and knowing how to sing ...that is the issue in the body of Christ it’s become more self seeeking than Christ pleasing ........so please chill w the trolling mess.... because what were u doing trolling and then a found a comment u can comment on....Get n the word and out of the flesh

[@TheJan68]

We sure can’t see the heart but GOD can. I love to sing but I don’t/can’t do runs. It’s because 1) He didn’t bless me with that particular gift. If I practiced everyday- I would never do them 2) I loved our choir. It was an awesome ministry- but almost no one leading did runs. So… I didn’t hear it. I didn’t emulate it. It did not grow on me. However… Melvin heard all of the rifts and runs growing up. So. I don’t believe anyone can say he’s in himself. Only God knows. I bet this is a sweet sweet sound in the Lord’s ear❤❤❤
