Twinkie Clark corrects musician on how to play her

Twinkie Clark tells the musician he wasn't playing her song right and gets up to play her own song during a tribute to her.

I felt like the vocalist was throwing shade though.. She don't sound all that great to me.. She was doing the most tho! Like I love the Clark sisters ( no shade to them at all) and all but since when did we get so caught up in the artist that we forget the one who really matters... "Jesus".. We need to get back to him... Honestly this is why I'm so sick of Thee "Black" church!!! We ( and I say we because that where I come from) have gotten so off track!!

[@Purpose4designs]

As a singer, when you do a tribute to a living legend you should: 1. Know the Song... the cell phone reading is a No No... 2. Face the Honoree... Never have the Honoree see the back of you. Unless they are in the pulpit area... even then, you turn graciously in the direction of the Honoree to honor the Honoree. 3. Rehearse with the musician. Find time, make time to rehearse with the musicians. if time does not allow that, keeping #1 in the back pocket will save you every time. 4. If the Honoree requested You to bless them with singing their song. Be prepared to Bless GOD first and man later. 5. Discrediting the musician is a No No. whether before, during or after the song, it's a No No. If you rely on their accompanying, then Discrediting them them on Disqualifies your skill set as a Psalmist or a Minister. You literally become the (Solo)ist nobody wants to work with. As someone who grew up singing the latest Clark Sister songs, learning their sounds and even backgrounding for them in NY next to Kelly Price and many others of our chior at the Beacon Theater in NY, when we were teenagers, I wanted to snatch the mic from this child ... LMBO... Nonetheless, this moment became a learning moment. I wanted to record this legendary moment because it's been decades since I had been in the same room with Lady Twinkie. When I saw her get up and walk to the organ, I was thankful to have my husband recording. The Entire night was filled with interesting learning moments.

No. And, Sister Anonymous "Diva" ⭐☄😤🎤🔇should consider herself VERY lucky that Twinkie did not get up & set HER straight. Because, the one thing that Twinkie Clark has always insisted upon, with any product or project or ANYTHING bearing her name, is excellence. She is a per- FEC- tion- IST-- & that is plain to be seen throughout her life. I've been in Sister Clark's presence when our choir stupidly forgot the words to a song she was rehearsing with us for THAT night 🎵"COMPLETE YOUR WORK IN ME"-- and, let's just say, it was NOT pretty. By the time she had made her displeasure known to us, I could say that I had seen a grown man cry for the first time ever, AND our choir 🎼 could have sung that thang BACKWARDS. So, I'm surprised she didn't lay into this screeching, attitude ridden America's Got Talent ( ?) reject. Maybe she restrained herself because a lot of cell phone cameras were rolling. IDK.... Anyway: audiences used to let performers KNOW how their act was going by clapping, hooting, standing up-- & the ultimate feedback--- booing ( though not so much in the church house) .... Why has all of that suddenly gone away?

You NEVER call out a musician in the middle of the set. A boss will wait til after to fire, admonish, correct, or whatever's needed. She's lucky she wasn't with actual professional musicians. They'd have shut her down, and played her into a vocal ditch to make her wish she NEVER acted out like that. There's three or four of them in the band to ONE of you. It isn't THEM who are wrong. NEVER cross the band backing you. They can make you look a fool. Good singers can sing through any alteration and make it look intentional or good. They also know how to get what they need from the band without speaking. There's a universal band language you use to get anything from tempo change, groove change, key change, and how to go back to any part of the song for a recapitulation. This cow doesn't know that language, and she'll never play with a good band. She's in the mimicking business. Boo for her!

[@rbeygarcia]

+Jacob Brumfield Doesn't matter if it's your spouse, NO ONE with any class will do that in front of an audience. It's a losing fight from the start. It only makes the one pointing fingers look silly and unprofessional. The audience didn't come in for any of that mess. You sort that out in rehearsal. A pro will soldier through any hiccups. It actually makes you a better vocalist to be able to sing through difficult scenarios, good and bad ones. It's good training and prepares that person for pretty much anything. And that person will get hired over and over again. Because that's who musicians want to work with: A total pro. You'll eventually get away from your father and you, too, won't stand for any mess from a silly vocalist who tries blaming others for their unpreparedness. You'll see.

Because it had nothing to do with the organ. She's just bad at singing, and has a stink attitude with no talent to back it up.

[@jacobbrumfield5254]

+plutorama I see your point now and I'm looking over the video right now and I do see the attitude it is deplorable I apologize for offering this to Twinkie thank you for replying back and God bless

[@jacobbrumfield5254]

+Jacob Brumfield now I really see your point. when you looked at this lady, she really gave off negative outlook of her external appearance. definitely as she verbally Carried her in front of the musicians and the choir .

[@stevenschwartzii2352]

Singer was the absolute worst. Not only did she not know the song, but tried to scream her way through it. Couldn't watch beyond 3:24. Sorry Twinkie, you didn't deserve this "tribute"

[@AdornHer]

This is why I love the Clark sister's because they teach like their mother! I get that some people feel that Twinkie shouldn't have intervened but in my opinion, she taught them a valuable listen. Don't it right or don't do it at all! I'm not going to let you continue in your mistake, Im going to show you how so next time you know. It happens in choirs all the time.

[@inspectorbudget]

Adorn Her Hope they take heed.

[@cenafayeartstyl2284]

I know this is super old but my mentor would do the same thing she played the organ and I played the piano. When I was having issues she would catch my attention in service or wherever we're and get me back on track, or she would start singing along with the choir so I could get my tempo together. Even when I was playing and singing a song she would get me together lol. Now that's what a person of God does. Being humble and helpful in all situations.

[@jimmybrown4903]

it's the principle though!! God is getting the glory ( supposedly right) so if he is off somewhat dont belittle a person for using to the best of His ability. let him finish and then tell him what he could improve on!

[@craigjones1669]

To be honest, I love the way the guy was playing it

[@raecenemalone8699]

He was excellent

[@Purpose4designs]

Monica, what move was distasteful? having the words or calling out the musician... lol

[@monicaharris1623]

Both. Lol.

[@ampent4204]

I know right people are hard on musicians, plus I think the guys chords were better

[@zztopdog]

Yes BOTH

[@tjmuzix]

She knew him😂

[@arronduling3772]

sheila curtis both

[@66JLB]

So the soloist was outdone by the first organist, and was not able to keep up musically. She was in herself, not God!

[@66JLB]

And got the nerve to sing Endow me? Really?😞

[@conscut]

These "ChrisAints" don't know what none of these songs mean. if it aint about "get yo stuff" they haven't a clue.

[@jacobbrumfield5254]

+James Blackledge you're absolutely correct and it's very hard to find out where the anointing lines in in with a nasty attitude of hers

[@dsanders799]

amen

[@bossteamentertainment6836]

Jay Black 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

[@MyPronounsAreSTFU]

The church has to stop gassing these mediocre singers...the soloist was the only thing offensive about this video. All that yelling and sloppy riffs and runs. This was not a song for her voice. Thank you Twinkie for stepping in to keep the organist from being offended or embarrassed by the soloist and for teaching the soloist how to minister through music properly!

[@mtrheins]

There is absolutely no shame in getting shoulder tapped by Twinkie Clark. The original organist was a class act and a beast in his own right!!!

[@colbybelk]

Reading lyrics off a phone is a real pet peeve of mine. Maybe I’m just old. Hopefully I won’t let it bother me in the future as it seems to be acceptable.

[@Purpose4designs]

FACTS!!! I've had my phone with me on a few occasions for guidance on parts I'm uncertain of but, never straight up had it in my face to read word for word.

[@alessandrajennings3308]

The soloist is OBNOXIOUS and interested in humiliating others. Ridiculous.... NO OIL!!!

[@estherspirit]

Wow. Really? Some folks are prideful. We are suppose to minister under the anointing. Not show off for people. Help us Lord. How are we edifying The Body? We need to focus more on edification, not competition.

[@ssmartin37]

Preach

[@hlmoman2]

That soloist is Kyla Jade if my ears heard right.

[@jamjam87051]

She always doing to much for me.

[@ShaNeedra]

Twinkie is such a legend. Just her alone and the organ in this video was good enough for me.

[@richardjackson6877]

That's why, as a choir director and organist, I make such emphasis on getting together and taking the time for rehearsal and avoid "playing church" and have enough care for those who you're ministering to by being prepared and prayed up!

[@lvc9835]

This was one big mess! Before putting together a service, have it together and give true honor to a legend who deserves it properly. The yelling, talking all over here place and the soloist singing from a sheet was all tacky. Then the organist yells out don't y'all put this on Facebook, I know ....... Horrible! Anointing is the point.....where is it?

[@juneboogie88]

Dear soloist: Your extraness is most definitely in vain! Sit down sumwhurr 🧻

[@SheniceSays214]

The soloist was doing absolutely too much for me on top of not knowing the lyrics is an absolute embarrassment in front of the person who sung and wrote it.

[@morenaso1]

That lady knows how to play that organ

[@monicajordan6900]

They may need a new system! Speakers sound busted..

[@andrewmarchbankd321]

I watched it twice! Hopefully the soloist was mature enough to know that this was a teachable moment in the making. If she was into her feelings after the service, she has a rough road ahead of her. EVERYBODY NEEDS TO BE TEACHABLE!

[@muzicman2k7]

From a musician's prospective.. The guy on the organ clearly didnt know the song. There were no chord changes from any of the verses the lead was singing..even I couldnt tell when she was to come in..He did all these runs and junk at the beginning I feel to show off.. And Chaka Khan(in hair only) was tacky I feel lookin at the words on her fone.. screaming these high notes at random.. totally awful.. This is a song Twinkie wrote and I dont blame her for getting up correcting her song.. People should Respect that

[@SynSynVelli]

I didn't even know what she was singing till she said endow me...the organist was doing his thing ...the soloist was singing at a tempo the it seems didn't please Twinkie...a lot of soloist tend to slow songs down so they can do all their runs and whatsoever ...she had no type of anointing

[@rodriquezrb]

+muzicman2k7 I"ll cosign your POV. I"m a singer and at the end of the day we want to convey the message the song intends, and sang all God gave me to sang! So the listener will get the mesasge down to the CORE. Hence: Endow~Endooohhwww~Meeeeeeee.f It wasn"t that serious let them folks show out. I mean it is her song I would have not been offended in the least bit, actually relieved especially if i knew prior that she was there and was not on my "A" Game...:)

[@alessandrajennings3308]

+ricorodriquez They forget that when they are singing to God not to mistreat HIS PEOPLE. You don't step on God's people to get to Him. No oil here....

[@nobiecjr]

Anthony turner was the organist and he is very close to twinkie i bet he knows thw song now lol hes a beast

[@rodneymcdaniel6405]

I'm not a musician..but I'm a soloist.. you know the guy could play that organ..in my opinion he played it better than twinkie dont get me wrong twinkie is a great and dynamic organist..I dont Cate what nobody say that fellow on that organ was great ..he was playing with the anointing..seems too me when twinkie got on the organ everything got slower and confused..but when she got off of the organ and the guy sat down everything seemed too get back in flow..dont b envious of that fellow cause he had hands down skills...He was as great as Ms.Twinkie..

[@tmoore7049]

Baby when Queen Twinkie got up, I knew magic was going to happen¡❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@andy_honeyy971]

I didn't recognize the song in any way before twinkie sang 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️😭😭

[@johnfoster8024]

When Twinkie got done, I am sure that soloist felt like, “A penny waiting for change.”

[@cupofjoy31]

The soloist is totally in the flesh and sounds a mess. God gets all the Glory and not one should be so focused on the sound that God isn't magnified

[@twarren8080]

It's sad when you are doing a tribute to a legend you don't know the words and then as humble as Twinkie is , comes in and does her own tribute. Twinkie taught them all a lesson without embarrassing them. That's a true legend. The lead singer isn't all that great ..

[@shawanajohnson7806]

THere is not but ONE Twinkie Clark. She can MASTER AN ORGAN!

[@1995DLB]

for a min i thought the singer was Angie Stone lol

[@adoptmefand8054]

It is what it is....🙏🏽

[@ladennayoung2939]

I just admire Twinkie so much. I feel like she have gone through some of the things that I have gone through. But yet she keep on keeping on in God.

[@rjgrant63]

Displaced dude was better. Old people have earned the right to be unreasonable and wrong sometimes. Cool performance (not ministry) as this was fleshy and not focused on anything other than earthly considerations.

[@laymankilgo3760]

This is disrespectful when an artist writes a great song, and people don't even have the respect enough to learn the song the right way,they rather mess it up.It's a shame! I will say The great Twinkie Clark was very gracious and humble about putting them on the right track. This legendary artist deserves the honor and respect of doing her song right.

[@patricklewis833]

Just from listening to this brother, it's obvious he and Twinkie are cut from the same cloth. This soloist is doing TOO MUCH! JMO

[@illbdat2day]

The soloist reminds me of the Wayans sister singing in that club on "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka!!"🎤🎶🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉😳

[@carlawillis2508]

Nothing was wrong with the first guy that was playing because he showed his behind off on that organ. Now the problem was miss lead singer that for got the words, needed someone else to put it on. But at the end of the day can't nobody touch the Queen of the Hammond b3 like Ms. Twinkie Clark!!!!!!!!! But I really was enjoying the guy that was playing because he's the bomb too.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@4yosoulentertainment]

You can't sing about the holy ghost if you don't have the anointing nor the holy ghost then go back out in the world singing secular music. That is how I was taught, there is a difference between singing and singing under the anointing and when you actually have the power of the holy ghost dwelling within you living holy, not just on sunday when you got the mic in your hand, you will be able to tell by their singing and the anointing if somebody if actually living the life of true holiness. Growling Hollering, Showboating and hitting the highest of hig notes doesn't make it anointed doesn't matter the tempo i hear plenty songs that are fast and the person can sing but no anointing, and even slow songs in this case I don't feel a thing

[@brittneybutler2491]

Right! 💯💯 💯

[@damianoday90]

saints relax...lol

[@reg1231000]

The tempo was fine, I think.. she just wanted Twinkie to play.. there’s a way you tell the musicians to speed it up without being distasteful.. notice she’s supposed to be singing to the crowd and whomever is being honored.. to me she wasn’t that good of an soloist.. you cannot do wrong by others and expect for God to come in and bless.. always remember there is a way to do things

[@cincoskitchen]

I was in attendance that night, it was a mess

[@cory2388]

She wasn’t correcting the musician she was correcting the soloist lol.

[@aarondullie8553]

Cory the bible says have a hair brush all times and the hair grease will continually be in her scalp her hair looks crazy

[@tgatling]

My spirit was vexed by this soloist.. do you know what you're asking the Lord or are you just singing words..?

[@spectorman6]

So for y'all who don't know that organist is NOW CURRENTLY HER PRODUCER!!!

[@joshgreen5425]

What is his name??

[@createfalls767]

I want to know his name too lol

[@spectorman6]

His name is Anthony Turner

[@createfalls767]

Brian Crenshaw Not all heroes wear capes 😩

[@cenafayeartstyl2284]

So happy for him

[@Musik216]

THIS👏🏾IS👏🏾A👏🏾FIND!👏🏾 Thank you for posting. You got a new sub!!

[@Brandonmccullen77]

It WASNT the organist!! It was the arrangement she wasn't a fan of. As a songwriter myself I would have probably done the same thing. They tried to jazz up a classic with the composer in the audience. That's a No No especially with the Clark family. It was the tempo that's ALL LOL

[@RoyalJukeBox]

How the hell, u dont know the lyrics of this song??? Its too old and too popular for folks (real singers) not to know...and this woman singing dont look that Young, and how u doing the most on a Lead that u dont really know??? Ill excuse the Organ player, he was respectful, he exclaimed he knew only the chords for the chorus and not the verses. understandable. so she "Twinkie" decided to get up n play her own damn song, As SHe Should!!!! and with every right to do so, especially if someone else is playing it wrong, The church folk are sooo deep...dry, with no power....and i hate for someone to Minister a song about Christ's Power. and no actual Power behind it, its not all about a strong raspy voice. I didnt enjoy this video, and i mostly enjoy everything the Clarks do! #amess

[@Purpose4designs]

Amen!!!!

[@RoyalJukeBox]

+RoyalJukeBox I just watched a little further, and like i said I was Correct, this leaded exclaimed for Twinkie to do a note for her one more time, shes 30, too OLD not to know how this song was originally written and rearranged for that Matter, but Obedience is better than sacrifice, How u cant follow the Greatest of All time, you follow the leader, its simple, sad ass of a Lead Singer, too busy wanting to make the song about herself instead of getting with Twinkie and HELP minister the song's True Message. somebody coulda been saved set free or delivered that day instead this young Lady wanted to play. I politely woulda told her to sit down and play on her own time. and i woulda found me a sanctified leader right out the back of that choir!

[@pwalker69]

+RoyalJukeBox Twinkie is a descendant of Dr. Mattie Moss Clark! If her mother was alive and sat in this...Twinkie and her sisters were raised not only under the good ole' Pentecostal form of praise and worship in song, but the serious, sincere, spiritually disciplined way of ministering music. They were raised not to "play" church; especially for the sake of being "grand" or entertaining. So, "Wiggitha" needs to sit down and hit a Daniel's fast. (lol)!

[@RoyalJukeBox]

LOL @pwalker69 im screaming Wiggatha!!!!

[@MrzLivelife]

+RoyalJukeBox that's what I'm sayin.. she looks to be in 40ish...she should know it...and unless she young and was called last minute, she should have had them lyrics locked..smh!

[@sean6131]

Stop caterwauling at Twinkie!

[@vernellmiller1176]

That organist that got bumped by Twinkie was good, and same tempo as Twinkie

[@Purpose4designs]

No Doubt!! He was Bananas!!

[@BEATZ82]

Mannnn who is this ole loud mouth jezebel ?? Twinkie should of snatched that damn mic out her hand instead of wobbling over to the organ!!!🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mercedeswalker7819]

[@MrzLivelife]

This was painful, the vocalists were ummm errr not connecting right..... but Twinkie did her thang...the musician did as best as he knew, so I won't fault him..but umm sangin and lookin to the phone for the lyrics and yelling what you don't know....ummmm oo k.

[@kevinjackson4457]

The musician was on point and the vocalist was forgetting the words, why not tell the vocalist SHE wasn't Singing it right!!

[@Chan-og8pu]

Seems like the soloist is trying to prove a point. She doing too much. Don't get me wrong, she knows how to sing but her spirit is very revealing.

[@justin7sanchez]

well, shoot, don't go sleepin on Miss Twinkie now yall! She can still feed the children :)
