    I guess we can agree to differ, but I personally found the new Memorial songs (147, 149) to be very good, at least from a musical perspective.

    If you were to chose, which one would you suggest for a Karaoke party?

    I simply couldn't find the melody. The refrain made a little more sense, but overall it's going to take a lot more practice.

    Ha Ha, well " The Book of Mormon" is a very successful West End, Musical, so why not turn the Memorial in to a Musical:-

    The Memorial: The most over-hyped musical on " Gods" earth, available at all reputable Kingdom Halls, this hughly popular show is attended worldwide by millions each year, some call it " Why are you refusing Jesus blood?". Anyway one thing is for sure this exsiting show has and will continue to run for many, many, more years to come...Amen and " Rubadab".

    p.s : no offense meant to those that take the memorial seriously.

    I, a musician, was pleasantly surprised. The orchestration was impressive. It was necessary, of course, to have those handouts.

    The orchestration had some grandeur too it, admittedly, the melodies no negatives, but the "lift" was not at the scale that the old masters, Bach , Haydn provided, religiously.

    The two songs were not bad, comparing to many they have tried.

    Guitarists probably noticed a misprint on the second song handout, where they put 'capo 3' should have been 'capo 1'

    To each his own, of course, but I thought they were awful. Brevity was their only virtue.

    As droppoff.... mentioned ...

    I think these songs were much better than some we have tried to sing in the past year or so.

    I honestly did not even try to digest the lyrics ... which is probably something I do not do with music in life in general ...

    But I thought the music was pretty good and you can sing it once you get some practice.

    Is it possible that the songs were plagiarized?
