I've had a similar experience with these artists (minus the whole being radio host thing). It's funny because after sorta getting into Katy Perry's music, I looked up her stuff and saw that she did Christian music. I had never heard her stuff, but some people had uploaded her old CD. Heard some of it, but it wasn't my favorite.<br><br>I used to be such a huge fan of Stacie Orrico. I remember her signing onto Virgin Records, and her dropping off the face of the earth, or so it seems after that. My friend still listens to her stuff, probably praying for her to come back into the music scene sometime soon. <br><br>I remember Jadyn Maria like it was yesterday. I still listen to that Jadyn Maria and Jody McBrayer to this day, and I remember when she did a song for the Herbal Essences commercial, and all that stuff, and I was extremely excited for her CD to come out, but didn't hear anything from her in what seems like FOREVER! The new song is catchy, not my favorite, but can't wait for it!<br><br>And totally did not realize you were Twilight guy until I read the top of the screen and saw "Kaleb Nation"...could be because I just don't pay attention. I love how you're "name dropping" Jump5 , and John Cooper. I was a huge fan of Jump5 cause they could do all the flips and stuff, even though I'm a little bit older than them, which creeps me out sometimes. Thanks for writing about this!

It is things like this that make me worry about how society is these days. Girls that literally SING about such solid and idealistic things can do such a 360. And I really hate how mainstream music is often just catchy crap to entrance people. This is quite intriging. It is things like this that make me worry about how society is these days.

I litterally freaked out when I went to some stupid concert my mom draged me to and they were opening it... I think I was the only one interested in their music at the concert... I got a SIGNED T shirt for $20, then we left because the main act wasn't good, plus you couldn't see over the people standing on chairs.... Who would have guessed how much people can change…

I don't listen to much christian music... Only when my mom listens to it in the car. But I'm a Christian hahahahah. I like more hardcore music. Hahaha.. but anyways.. Kaleb, if you worked for a Christain radio station..Are you a Christain? I've always wondered. :] That's so weird. I don't listen to much christian music… Only when my mom listens to it in the car.

It is cool to learn more about your past...I had actually wondered if it was a Christian radio station you worked at, especially when you referenced fairly lesser known bands like Big Dismal in the Twilight readings (I like them too, btw). A homeschool grad as well, I grew up on Christian music (PFR is still one of my favorite bands), but when I got older I discovered the whole world of 'secular' music for myself, so a lot of this hits home for me. I think I missed out on a lot of good music as a kid/teenager because it was labeled "secular" so I just completely bypassed it all together.<br><br>Personally, I think it is silly that bands have to be designated as "Christian" or "Secular", when it's all music. Who says that "Christian" bands have better morals beneath their songs? And if you are a Christian, wouldn't you rather be under a label that can reach more people, even if you have songs about God or the like? Anyway, of course this is a big debate, and I understand things will never be perfect in the world. (By the way, I have no comments on the singers you mentioned; I am not referencing them here in any way.)<br><br>Anyways, thanks again; this was really interesting!
