Too sexy for a gospel album cover?

Religious groups have been criticizing Mary Mary's Erica Campbell's new album cover, saying her dress is too tight and she's showing off too much curves on a gospel album cover. They think she should have toned it down a little. Erica is going solo after leaving Mary Mary.

What do you think of her album look, appropriate or a bit too much?

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think her outfit is Okay... Afterall... It didn't show any part of her body... Bin a Gospel artiste doesn't mean she can't wear outfits that shows her shape!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  39. Its indeed too much , d cover is indeed distracting the focus which should be on God is lost.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I don't agree. For me she isdecent 4rm head to toe cos i don't see any skin showing. There is no such thing as too sexy. Having curves or being straight is nobody fault except nature----C21

  53. My Dear even if those chicks goes on a regalia that floats over like a religious gown, with a Ninja like Head cover 'who go fall go fall'.....It takes a regenerated mind to say NO to sin, It goes beyond restrictions and Tactics...Guess dis world can't just go on without Loud critics....

    ReplyDelete
  57. they are right,the cloth is way too tight,shes a gospel artist not an hip hop artist or Rnb as Rihanna n Beyounce..

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  64. Alot of people are blind to what is happening in this world. What she did is deliberate.Cant u see it? Illuminati tinz! Forget the so-called gospel music. They r set to continually weaken people spiritually(carnal longings) so that when their MASTER comes people are already prepared to receive what he will offer that is- "Do what thou wilt cos u r a god". Run my child!!!

  65. It will attract Non christian to embrace the music and get the message.

  73. The only thing you're gonna hear men say is "dang she sure got a body on her". I don't think any of them ωïll buy it cos of her music sha....she does have a banging figure on her though but this is definitely too much under the umbrella of "gospel" I don't know if her target audience is the deeper life kinda born agains cos if it is, she sure ain't selling with this outfit...

  79. GOD IS A FASHIONABLE MAN , I THINK SHE DRESS WELL,

    MAY I ASK, IF WE SHOULD BE A SLAVE TO ALL THOSE BELIEVES.

    BECAUSE GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT YOU WEAR, HE ONLY NEED YOUR HEART,

    THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO WEAR BURKA ,COVERING HEAD TO TOES,
    THEY TURNED OUT TO BE SADIST.

    I THINK SHE IS OK WITH WHAT SHE IS WEARING

  81. De cloth is just fittin not too sexy. Erica has amazing curves which r difficult 2 hide. * Phil *

    ReplyDelete
  82. Not the best photo for a gospel album cover. The dress the hair the shoes everything is just off.looks like shes ready to hit the club. Besides why did she breakup with her sister. That's why I don't listen to their music. They all want to be beyonce . just don't kno how to switch. Ll

    ReplyDelete
  83. Though covered but really sexy. "Do not cause your brother to sin"

  85. What is important is the message gotton from the song... The dress is cool tho... Linda u want her to tie wrapper?

    ReplyDelete
  86. My own issue is with the shoes. Me no likey!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Linda to me its ok, just that human hrt re corrupt,permit me to say that. We Christians are scared to dress the way we want to because of what people would say and think. Christianity is not a religion we must know this! But a heavenly lifestyle. We don't ve a dress code like other religion, No wonder the bible tells us not to judge people by their appearance, but that doesn't mean we shudnt dress to represent christianity well. Anyways, I love her outfit but kinda too tight though.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Erica pls take several seats. You look more like Nicki minaj than a woman trying to preach the word.

    ReplyDelete
  89. how would i have listened to her album when i dont know her ,i only sabi derica tomatoes wonder who removed the "D" letter. anoda one ojere

    ReplyDelete
  90. Hmmm..... I don't just tink she's a gospel singer, cus she looks so astonishing.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Better than showing cleavage and thighs. She's wonderfully made.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Biko nwa bu mmimi. Let's appreciate good thing. She looks good.

    ReplyDelete
  93. My advice. Quite gospel music and go do a song with yonce cus am sure that's what you want.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Mixed reactions... she is actually not exposing anything!! I mean she's all covered up...still it's a little too tight for an album cover its the first thing you see

    ReplyDelete
  95. HER CLOTH IS OK, THEY SHOULD GO AND SIT DOWN , SHE IS NOT THE PERSON THAT CREATED HERSELF

    ReplyDelete
  96. Hot and sexy, I see notin wrng in d dressing or makin it an album cover. Whether she a gospel artist or not

    ReplyDelete
  97. I tink is OK, n perfect 4 me own opinion

    ReplyDelete

  106. There is nothing wrong with this dress, she has curves naturally.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Her critics shud remove d log in deir eyes b4 criticzing ha.is it ha fault dat she's endowed?or she shud hide wat God has blsd ha wit cos she's a gospel artist?if ha figure is makin dem go mad,den dey shud go to hell or betta stil,buy ha album n listen to d songs n b blsd.

    ReplyDelete
  118. They are still together but she decided to do a solo album but its not too much, being sexy is not a sin

    ReplyDelete
  119. i don't think so, she's beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I dont see what the issue is - she is covered. I see no flesh showing. She is decent - you cannot see any vpl or vbl (visible bra lines) she is a woman, wife and a mother. Nothing un-christian about looking good for yourself, your husband and your children !

    ReplyDelete
  121. The industry doesn't prioritize the careers of female artists who just sing. Beyonce's a married mother established artist. She's rolling around half naked in the sand to move units. Janelle Monae is trying it fully clothed, no overt sexuality. She's lesser known, less promoted and didn't break records. Tells you something.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I have ñ✽t really listened to the album but I think her dress ɪ̣̝̇È™ ook since it didn't expose her body

    ReplyDelete
  141. Personally i believe we should all endeavor always to focus on the message instead of the messenger, if her message/s inspire us, make us grow, make us draw near to the creator, then let it be.

    ReplyDelete
  142. Her album look is appropriate. There's nothing bad in what she's wearing.

    ReplyDelete
  143. This is what you call figure 8! Correct!

    Abit too tight yes....
    But well covered up....

  146. I think the dress is beautiful nd fits her perfectly,buh when it cms to d'gospel nd ministry we av to look beyond ourselves nd not let anything hinder ppl frm gtn d'msg we wnt to preach...she culd av worn it smplace else cos now ppl ar gtn distrtd by d'dress nd probably paying less attention to waeva msg she's'got to pass

    ReplyDelete
  147. I don't see anything too 'sexy' in her appearance, rather i suggest her critics should check the 'state of their mind'. Dirty???

    Must she wear winter jacket to praise God? how about our praises in the bathroom while bathing naked? Leave it all to God people!

    ReplyDelete
  148. she isn't naked o! what else do they want her to wear ?

    ReplyDelete
  149. Coming from Americans, they are mad! We have seen crazier things from pastors to their wives in America. She looks good in immaculate white and the her body is d gr8t! God be praised for it

  152. But... Who is she?

    ReplyDelete
  153. Their criticisms underlines everything that is wrong with religion. Cloth the body, while it rots underneath! We appear good on the outside, while evil looms underneath. It's a jerkyl and hyde sh*t!!! Show your curves woman, if God didn't want you to have em, you'd be rail thing.

    ReplyDelete
  154. All I can say is that 'damn, she's got a super gorgeous body' I love her bod.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Linda why u no dey like to post my comment na? Well she's showing too much shape which is not right for a gospel cover. Linda my birthday is on the 25th so i'll be waiting for my gift ooh

    ReplyDelete
  156. There's nothing wrong with what she's.wearing jhor, by d way, i want those shoes!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  157. She look lovely, the dress is actually a bit too tight for a gospel album cover but would have been perfect for an evening event or show. The dress doesn't reveal her naked body so I personally will not criticize her but I understand people's opinion because its a album cover not random pics or event picture. *ThatFunctionGuy*

    ReplyDelete
  158. it is unholy. all her curves are so pronounced which would definitely make a man to fornicate in his mind

    ReplyDelete
