I also haven’t seen it from Fundamentalist Baptists, but I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.
Sometimes I think people look up to Michal as a role model for her reaction to David dancing (2 Sam. 6:16).

Do you have a clip of which part you find is suggestive?
The linked video only has stills (ie:no movement).

Everyone loved Sister Christina during the Italian Talent Contest. If she had been inappropriate in any way, the elderly Sisters accompanying her on the show would not have looked nearly so happy and joyful as they were. The nuns working at my parish thought she was great. When the judge lifted her up and hugged her, one of our Sisters commented that Sr. Christina was probably a little embarrassed by it, but there was nothing wrong with what he did. She showed nothing other than modesty… This priest first viewed in the hallelujah wedding video and later Britain’s Got Talent is another big hit.
Just watched this video presented and I don’t agree with this priest at all. For one, he states that Sr. Christina “RAN TO THE ARMS of” the judge, “to be lifted up for a hug”. That’s simply not true. She didn’t “run to his arms”, he ran up to her and lifted her up and she was noticeably surprised, and as my friend, an elderly nun said, she seemed a little embarrassed. Wow, why would he say things that aren’t true? . I think he may have his own problems.

A lot of what she does is fine, I suppose, Do you think that her mission as a singer will bring people to attend church more often?Everyone loved Sister Christina during the Italian Talent Contest.
In this video people are dressed modestly, but their dancing is somewhat suggestive in parts.
Recently I attended a Roman Catholic Mass. It was at a church that caters mostly to college students, but there are a lot of families that attend also. When I arrived I saw a band ensemble at the altar and band performers dressed in cutoffs and were dressed pretty similar to the performers in this Sister Christina video. I did not like the Mass and I did not like the band playing these loud rock songs all during the Mass. I suppose that there were people there who thought it was just great, I was not one of them.
I am not a fan of this type of music at Mass.

Of course you didn’t like the Mass, it was absolute abuse. It sickens me to think a pastor would have this in his church.. I did not like the Mass and I did not like the band playing these loud rock songs all during the Mass.
I think it’s possible. There’s a “rapper” priest in San Diego, can’t think of his name right now, but he has brought many young people into the Church and back into the Church.Do you think that her mission as a singer will bring people to attend church more often?
Do you think the mission of Cloistered Nuns to remain secluded in their convents, bring people to attend church more often? I think we all have a purpose in life and even in the Church, and maybe that’s hers, I don’t really know.

i watched the whole clip to the end and I didn’t see any dance moves that weee suggestive at all.
Bit cheesy maybe,but nothing sexual.
Btw I don’t like pop/dance/rock/whatever etc music at Mass either,but this is a different context.

And their Bishops are aware? I’d be major complaining.

Dan Schutte is not my cup of tea.
Owen Alstott’s responsorial hymns are pretty good. The one (My my God, Why have You Abandoned me) during Hosanna Sunday really touched me.

I never heard of her, but having grown up in the Tipper Gore era, I ignore overreaction about music.

Well, that narrating priest is a blooming barrel of laughs isn’t he?!
How dare priests watch secular sitcoms or listen to music other than chanting?! Talk about putting off good priests and making them out of touch with laity.
I wouldn’t be expecting to see my priest wasted and chatting up women and dirty dancing in a bar but really don’t mind if w is a fan of rap music and likes watching stupid tv shows.

“She is linking Jerusalem to Babylon.”
Cue picture of her in full nun habit and sensible shoes sitting on steps, playing an acoustic guitar.
That made me laugh a lot.

What actually bothered me was Sr. Cristina’s comment:
“This pope isn’t removed or distant, he’s right here among us”
It feels like she was taking a shot at the previous popes. It’s the pope’s job to be a faithful shepherd, not a rock star with a cult of personality. I’d also contend that while Benedict was pretty bookish and shy, his brilliant mind was still a gift to the church. John Paul II was never removed or distant when he was in good health. Maybe she doesn’t remember that.
I don’t really have a problem with clergy that want to share some extra interests and talents, assuming that it does not really interfere with their vocation. Even modern music as long as it’s not in the mass. A group of priests dancing around aren’t really of much concern to me. One of my classmates was a gymnast before he became a priest, and a very good one. He posted a video of himself doing a flip on a trampoline to the amusement of others at a parish picnic. They’re still people, and I’m not going to lose sleep over something like that.
Though I suppose I get the homilist’s point. Being “cool” is only going to take things so far. Someone’s vocation has to come first. I would say there’s nothing wrong with music ministry but there are pitfalls with wanting something like pop stardom. There was a monk in Italy, Cesare Bonizzi, that gained fame when he started singing with a heavy metal band but it was short lived. He no longer performs, at least publicly, because he felt that the devil was threatening to cause harm and he did not want the fame.
