IS it a mass or amateur night at the Apollo?

You and I are on the same wavelength here. That is one of my pet peeves. And why must the singers be up on the altar as if performing instead of in the choir loft? I have even been in churches where people have applauded after a song! Disgusting, I say.

They are song-leading don't you know. And Mass isn't a performance, I'm told. It always seemed like one to me when I sang, but who am I to argue? Just the soloist.

Seriously, what they did when they moved the choirs to the front was take the focus off the Sacrafice and wreck the acoustics.
