His article this month to the "younger generation" is one of the worst articles that SN has ever published. All Roy's whole article is, not about trying to help young artist or being concerned about them, his article is about making sure nothing gets changed in this industry. Nothing has and nothing ever will. The fans won't except a new group that tries to do things different to reach a younger crowd, unless it hits their comfort zone. Futhermore as long as the "powers that be" do everything to prevent change in this industry, then it will continue to decline. Until they make this industry about honoring God instead of honoring man then the Lord can't bless!
Think about it: When was the last time you went to a singing and actually worshiped? You didn't pay attention to the singers and the way they sang, dressed, or listened to the stupid corny humor, but you actually tuned into God?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and some have a more public platform to present it! But he's making people think, isn't he?!?!

As a pastor/promoter the one thing I always try to secure is spiritually sound groups. I think we all are kidding ourselves if we believe that every group out there on the road is in it for the right reasons. I personally promote one concert a month at our church and we have had several concerts where the Spirit of God has settled in and people have been saved and one even healed of terminal cancer! Perhaps Roys article may "hit a nerve" to those groups who are more concerned with the trip to the bank on Monday verses the trip to the altar during the concerts!

I respect roy for everything he's done for our industry. However, i do not always agree with him (of course, its probably nothing to him anyway haha). I do believe he wants to see our industry grow. It almost seems, sometimes, as if he changes his stance in various articles. From encouraging the young to carry on tradition, but then scodling them for being "modern". If they do not have slicked back hair and a mustache, they aren't cutting it. For once, i think i accidentally skipped the article this month..i'll have to back and re-read. I always enjoy reading what he has to say even though i differ in opinion sometimes. I think it would be pretty neat, if it didn't stir too much conflict, if the SN would have mr pauley's column and then have an opinion column from someone of the younger generation. Not neccesisarily someone "aged" young, but someone from the more recent generations of SG.

The first two things I read when I receive my magazine is, All I ever wanted to do is sing a song by Ed O'neal and the In My opinion by Roy Pauley, in that order. Like someone said I do not always agree with Mr. Pauley he does write some thought provoking articles. And as the title of the article says It is Just His Opinion.

i probably should leave this topic alone, but i have wanted to start it for a looong time now lol so i'm glad you did! ...i can honestly say not one time have i read his article and it not make me a little angry...especially this current article...he says "i think the younger generation yadda yadda yadda......" all the time...i'm guessing he's just assuming what we "young people who like this music" are thinking in my article called, "in my opinion", he comes across as an old fogey who doesn't want change, and wants everything his way or the highway...yeah whatever...sometimes i jump over to averyfineline to read and get a comical relief at what's going on, thats the same mindset i have now every month when i start to read his article...yes, i just put roy pauley and avfl in the same category...but it's okay, cause it's all just my opinion haha

I enjoy hearing different opinions about SG and the industry, including those of Roy Pauley, as long as they are rendered with a good spirit.
I don't think Roy means any harm, it's just that his digital calendar is stuck on 1957.

As the younger generation of Southern Gospel fans we need to understand that we are in the minority. 75% (best guess) of the Southern Gospel listening audience is over the age of 50 (not that there is anything wrong with that). If that is the case most successful artists do what they need to do to cater to this target demographic. Roy Pauley is the voice of that demographic.
The younger 'hip' artist is going to have a tougher time trying to garner attention from this target demographic. As much as we hear about change and growth in Southern Gospel music, the mindset will not change until the demographic of the audience changes.

I guess I am just a "hip" old geezer. Although I like the old traditional Quartet sound, much like Roy Pauley writes about, I also embrace the younger newer sound like EH&SS. But you are right Seaton. The vast majority of the SG fans are 50 or over. I hope that is slowly changing. I am seeing a younger crowd at concerts like EH&SS and the Crabb family. Maybe it will spread.

Sometimes Roy Pauley hits they nail right on the head, other times he misses the nail completely! 
Yes, sometimes he misses the nail completely....and seems to hit exactly on someone's fingers!!!

People usually like things best that were popular when they were high school and college age.
For example, my favorite car is still a 70s Camaro, if I listen to Rock/Pop it's going to be Elton John, Carol King, etc, and if I listen to country it's gonna be Willie and the boys.
It's not better because it's better. It's better because we were young.
So it's normal for Roy to think that nobody is going to do it better than the 50's groups.

Do I personally care about Roy Pauley's opinion? Not really, as I'm sure he cares less about ours. I do read his articles every month, but I don't think that I have agreed with him much on anything.
Yes, his articles make me think. They make me think back to when people said the same things about his style of singing being different than what they were used to. From what I read each month (as his articles rarely change) if you are not the Dove Brothers then you are not a true southern gospel quartet. He thinks that the Statesmen/Blackwood era is the only thing that will survive, and he couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, the older generation are the primary concert goers to southern gospel events and groups such as the Dove Brothers are catering to this age group primarily. But, this age group will not be around for a long period of time and I think that published opinions such as Roy Pauley's will hurt southern gospel. Not the fact that he pushes for quality recordings and professional images (as I do agree with that), but to go as far as to say that younger groups can only learn from singers from his era is wrong.
As far as the comment about going to a concert and just worshiping, it has been awhile. The only concert that I have attended where that happened and the spirit was allowed to move was at a Crabb Family concert...not a 4 part all male quartet concert. Don't get me wrong, quartet music is my first love, but let's not forget what the primary purpose of the early male quartets was...to promote and sell song books for publishing companies.
Just my opinion!!!
