if you ever noticed that when these acts tour (Beyonce, Usher, Maxwell, Anthony Hamilton, Musiq, Justin Timberlake, Rapheal Saadiq, Floetry, etc) their whole 'backline' are gospel musicians.

Although they are stigmatized as overplayers, that's what people wanna hear & see at those concerts. High energy drummers with massive kits, nice fills, crazy gospel runs on bass & keys, solid grooves alot of showmanship, those gospel guys tend to give you that in spades. And i love seeing them do what they do!
