So, I came across the video for "Super Grace" in my Christian internet travels. Some college students got together and came up with a Christian version to Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass". I've placed it here for your viewing pleasure:
I must commend the young lady for her creativity in coming up with some interesting lyrics, but her premise... I'll pass.
We are in the world, but not of it. The fact that this girl's inspiration came from a secular song - Nicki Minaj nonetheless - does not sit well with me. Plus, this girl had to pretty much memorize the secular version in order to parody it in her Christian version, so she's got those original lyrics well embedded in her spirit.
There are other ways to be creative, funny, engaging, and inspirational other than take what's hot right now in the world and put a "Jesus-spin" on it to make it okay. Our God created music! I'm sure if we tap into Him we can come up with something that works in the same manner and is twice as effective.
This is just my opinion. You may think differently. Let me know.
What do you think of the video?
