Go tell it on the mountain! We've heard all week about Grammy-nominated gospel singer Bobbi Storm almost getting booted off her flight because she would not stop singing.
Ms Storm posted a clip to her Instagram on Saturday showing her in the center aisle of a Delta plane, singing happily while a crew member walks up and asks her to sit down and "be quiet."
So she sits down and says she has sung on other flights in the past and oh yes, she has been nominated for two Grammys. Mild applause ensues.
She's singing her song "We Can't Forget Him" and yet she forgets that He asks us to be humble followers, and when asked to refrain from singing the refrain, she says, "I'm doing what the Lord is telling me to do."
The crew member - the flight leader - tells her she cannot stay on the plane if she doesn't follow his instructions.
She says she'll be cool, but when the leader walks off, she tells those seated around her that she'll "sing it on the low," and breaks into song again.
The whole thing was eventually settled when she stopped singing. Storm had a video out later in which she said she was not breaking any rules.
She was just "spreading joy."
Listen. We all need joy. Also peace and quiet and boundaries. Her love of her faith is commendable, and she should sing to her heart's content any time she is in her home or in a room full of people who came for the purpose of hearing her sing.
My personal nightmare is a whole group of people all singing at once. All different songs, and they all sound like Justin Bieber at his various stages of voice maturation.
