A Delta crew member threatened to remove a passenger who repeatedly tried to sing her new gospel song on the flight

[Coventina]

A Grammy-nominated singer was nearly booted from a Delta Air Lines flight after continually attempting to sing her newly released song.

The passenger, Bobbi Storm, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a video of the altercation between her and a Delta crew member. In the video, Storm walked up the aisle before being told to sit back down.

The video showed her taking her seat and turning to the people around her to tell them she had just found out she was "up for two Grammys" and had released a new single titled "We Can't Forget Him."

The Daily Mail reported that Storm was a featured vocalist on Maverick City Music's latest Grammy-nominated album, "The Maverick Way Complete." The band is a Christian singing group nominated for best gospel album and best contemporary Christian music performance/song.

**************************************************************************************************************************

I'm with the airline employee on this one. I don't want to be subjected to a concert I didn't ask for. I find air travel stressful enough as it is.

[Maru Kitteh]

1. If miss "I'm really important because JAYSUS and I"m up for a Grammy" was sitting next

to me I would be asked to move if she didn't STFU.

[TheBlackAdder]

68. This is sort of like those to proselytize to captive audiences on trains. Some people had long days and want quiet.

[brush]

176. Exactly. STFU.

[NowISeetheLight]

180. Same

My thoughts exactly. Sit down, buckle up, tray table in the upright position, and STFU.

[jimfields33]

2. The only thing I hate is when the passengers

start clapping upon landing. How dumb and I didn’t ask for that. I wish they ban that nonsense.

[hlthe2b]

13. I've not experienced that except where we sat on the tarmac waiting to take off for hours OR

it was the turbulent flight from hell... Then the clapping might not bother me, though I'd be more concerned with getting the hell off that plane.

[TwilightZone]

17. It's just stress release.

Flying isn't fun, and it's only gotten worse. Can't blame anyone for being happy to arrive safely and happy that it's over.

I've flown dozens of times and I can't think of more than a couple times that it happened. One was a scheduled 45-minute flight that ended up circling around St. Louis for 2.5 hours around and through thunderstorms and moderate turbulence. Took three attempts to land and bounced hard on the third and swerved. I think pretty much everyone applauded once it was over.

[MaineNative]

50. Ah the wonders

of ILS...

[Trailrider1951]

80. And people wonder why I love taking the train

I won't fly again if I can help it.

[Wingus Dingus]

25. I've only been on one flight where that happened, it was

into Atlanta and the fog and clouds were so thick you couldn't see anything at all until a couple seconds before our wheels touched down. It was total nothingness, and then a runway appeared.

[malaise]

42. THIS

Rec

[FakeNoose]

105. I've only experienced passengers clapping on international flights

When a plane takes off from Europe or somewhere else, people are bored, sleeping or looking at their TV screens. But when the plane lands on US soil, many passengers clap because they're glad to be back "home" in the USA. I have witnessed this at least 7 or 8 times in the last 30 years, so I know it's not just a one-time fluke.

People don't clap out of fear, it's because they're glad to be back home.

[Arthur_Frain]

159. Guam to Saipan 1993 or 94

Turbulence knocked some people into the ceiling midway through the flight. I don’t have a problem with the people who applauded when it was clear the brakes had worked upon landing. I’ve heard folks applaud on landing in Vegas too, ready to lose some dough apparently.

I mean is this a thing generally these days?

[brush]

177. Not the same thing, the incident happen in flight and she...

and she selfishly began singing out loud and annoying passengers.

[Jersey Devil]

3. Sheesh, let her sing

Would listening to a happy person sing for about 5 minutes hurt anyone?

[NoRethugFriends]

5. hell no!

[Jersey Devil]

12. Singing is a hellova lot better than barking

Worst flight ever for me was a redeye from Anchorage to Phoenix with a woman whose lap dog barked every inch of the way.

[hlthe2b]

18. Never flown on a flight with multiple babies crying continually? Much worse, though I have sympathy

for them. Those kids' eardrums were probably driving them mad with the pressure changes and/or a preexisting ear infection.

[Midnight Writer]

7. Let everyone sing! Give each passenger 5 minutes during flight to stand and sing!

Or maybe 5 minutes to make a speech.
Or 5 minutes to preach.

[keithbvadu2]

16. Everyone gets the same 5 minutes to proselytize to Bobbi.

Individually.

[Jersey Devil]

20. She was happy and proud

She just got nominated for a Grammy so her singing was probably pretty good.

[Midnight Writer]

22. Never get on a flight with David Lee Roth.

[Jersey Devil]

29. I would "Jump" if David Lee Roth sang

We'd rock the plane!

[NoRethugFriends]

23. she just wanted to do her praise Jesus stuff. arrogant.

[Attilatheblond]

63. Plus, very annoying to plug a new album with a song in front of a captive audience.

Putting that one on my list of things gone wrong in modern capitalism.

Sadly, one cannot keel haul a highly annoying passenger on a jet airline flight.

[GoneOffShore]

104. Or make them go outside and sing.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. She's a noxious religious martyr selling a product. I don't want Kirby vacuum demos

in the seat next to me either.

She needed to STFU unless everyone in hearing range actually asked her to continue.

[Jersey Devil]

44. What about Electrolux?

Infomercials on a plane might break up the boredom. Personally, I'd like to hear more about Vegamatic.

[Merlot]

30. So what? I prefer the singing of raspy voiced old guys and gals

Who gets to decide if someone's singing is "pretty good?"

Flying is stressful and being subjected to proselytizing is offensive.

[Jersey Devil]

34. Who listens to the words in a song if it sounds good? How about "Halelujah"?

You think Mick Jagger was being religious when he sang "Sympathy for the Devil"?

[ms liberty]

150. I'm chiming in here, because this comment is ridiculous

You say who listens to the lyrics. Well, that would be many and maybe most of us...Really.
Which Hallelujah, Handel's or Cohen? Why? As a singer, lyrics often determine whether the singer even wants to sing the song, and often it determines whether the listener is interested in hearing it. If it has lyrics, the song has a point and a message*. The lyricist had something to say, and they said it. Lyrics are poetry set to music.

And also, if you listen to the lyrics, Sympathy with the Devil actually is a religious song: It's a monologue by the devil, promoting and advertising his successes.

*with the exception of many Yes songs with lyrics written by Jon Anderson. He himself admits that many of his lyrics are just words picked for their sound and shape in relation to the music. Doesn't make them less awesome.

[LisaM]

155. I do. Bad lyrics can ruin a song for me. N/T

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

139. And Winchester Cathedral won Best Pop Recording

Over 'Monday, Monday,' 'Good Vibrations' and, oh yeah, some band from England singing about this bird named 'Eleanor Rigby.'

In short: Winning a Grammy doesn't entitle you to acting like a bloody prat.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

144. She didn't win a Grammy

Just claimed to have been "nominated."

Probably nominated on TikTok.

[TheRealNorth]

43. Not only that....

I think I should have the right to make people listen to my Satanist rock songs.

[Ocelot II]

66. Airplane karaoke! The horror, the horror...

[Wingus Dingus]

14. That's fine. But as soon as she opens her stupid mouth to sing, everyone else

gets to scream "SHUT UP! SIT DOWN!" repeatedly, until babies are crying, flight attendants are frazzled and the pilot is looking for somewhere to emergency-land. Deal?

[TwilightZone]

19. I think it's unlikely she was going to stop after five minutes.

Besides, there's this thing called common courtesy.

[Jersey Devil]

26. Heck, ever sing in the shower?

Most shower concerts in my house don't last much longer than 2 songs. You think she was going to sing MacArthur Park or Alice's Restaurant?

[TwilightZone]

36. No, I think she was probably going to sign other songs.

According to other posts, she also repeatedly told everyone where her music could be purchased, so I don't think she was just going to sign a few bars or one song and call it a day.

[Clash City Rocker]

62. I think she'd keep singing and not shut up for the entire flight

[NewHendoLib]

91. Nope - and if I did I don't subject anyone to it, just me

[Conjuay]

141. most showers aren't as long as a plane flight.

[edisdead]

163. Who cares? To do it at all is disrespectful.

[pandr32]

35. It would be more acceptable if it wasn't religious.

The assumption that we are all one (Christian) and this is okay is wrong. As an atheist, I would have found that assumption obnoxious.

[Ocelot II]

60. Not really. Airplanes are transportation, not concerts,

and I don't care what the music is - I'm on the plane because I want to go somewhere. You can't really understand the words over the engine noise anyhow; whether or not the content is religious, it's just rude to inflict a performance on passengers who didn't volunteer to listen to it.

[pandr32]

132. I do agree.

Rude, self-promoting behavior that takes advantage of a captive audience is not okay.
We can add promoting the airline's credit cards in mid-flight to the list.

[ShazzieB]

75. You dont have to be an atheist to find that assumption obnoxious.

I'm not an atheist, and I would have found her behavior quite offensive. So would loads of other non-atheists, I'm sure. People of faith come in many different varieties, and I have little patience with those who insist that there's only one "right" set of beliefs (theirs) and want to try and convert everyone else.

[pandr32]

133. That goes to my point.

I agree.

[ShazzieB]

138. Cool.

We are on the same page!

[CrispyQ]

151. You can practically tell what type of Christian someone is by the political party they identify with. -nt

[pandr32]

168. That does seem so.

[Voltaire2]

165. Only marginally.

Just STFU and STFD. It is a shitty sky bus. Nobody needs your bullshit.

[obamanut2012]

40. Yes, it would hurt

[pinkstarburst]

55. And so I assume it's okay for every passenger to "entertain"

the plane for five minutes? Passenger two gets five minutes to read his slam poetry to the plane? Passengers 3-10, who are all self-published authors on Amazon each get five minutes to read excerpts from their self-published novels and try to promote them to the entire plane?

See how this could go badly?

[progressoid]

57. Yes...

[Sympthsical]

160. I unironically love this song

If someone played this on a boombox on BART, I wouldn't even be mad.

[spooky3]

166. Sounds like Baby Shark to me (in repetitive annoyance production). Nt

[progressoid]

178. I can listen to about 10 seconds but then have turn it off for fear of a permanent earworm infection.

[Demovictory9]

76. The flight attendant told her to stop and she argued back

Once he said "no" that shoukd hace been it

[JoseBalow]

112. This is the point that some in this thread are missing

[quakerboy]

79. So.. its all good then?

Next time I board an airplane, I'm free to walk the isle belting out my newest death metal solo?

[Scrivener7]

82. No. And I won't say a happy prayer with her either.

[JoseBalow]

115. Bobbi?

[toad-eye]

122. even a nazi barbershop quartet?

Maybe it's a musical preference? Buuuut... Not just a "happy" singer. Gospel singer. Meant to further the gospel, aka indoctrinate. One person's religion is another person's mythology. What about the young children being subjected to this indoctrination without the permission or approval of their parents? Turns the plane ride into church. And don't forget to pass the hat.
Now if it was the armpit-playing foot- stomper in an obscure bluegrass band up for a Grammy... I'd be like, "Wait a second. Hear this woman out."

[Conjuay]

124. YES.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

137. Some of us want peace and quiet

Not some traitor trash braying her deluded filth at us.

[edisdead]

161. Yeah, no thanks.

The only noisy situation I excuse are very young children and babies.

[hlthe2b]

4. I don't care what the music genre, unless asked, no one should sing on a plane where

everyone is basically "hostage" to the "music" (noise). That which evangelizes (gospel) might be adding an additional issue for many. That said, if she sang a few bars and the flight attendant noted that no one seemed bothered, they could ask the passengers if they wanted her to continue and if so, let her do so.

Otherwise, just not cool. Albeit I could take it a bit better than RFK's nasty bare feet in my face (see an earlier post).

[NoRethugFriends]

6. well, rfk, but I agree

[hlthe2b]

10. Oops, corrected...

I've had JFK on my mind since I began listening to Rob Reiner/Soledad O'Brien's 10-part podcast on the assassination.

[Croney]

8. She wasn't just singing. She was selling.

She said several times where and how her product could be purchased. If I had been near her, I could not have kept silent.

[Attilatheblond]

72. Were I there, she would be wearing an emptied out carry on over her head

See, I am an old pantheist who is really fed up with attempts to force one religion on others. And the threat of life in jail isn't all that much of a deterrent these days.

[DENVERPOPS]

127. Bravo

The second I saw this I immediately thought of Cheryl Wheeler's song "GOD"......LOL It is just too damn bad Cheryl wasn't on the plane to follow up this religious zealot's performance, with Cheryl Wheeler's song about GOD........esp her line about not having a problem if YOU wish to worship YOUR IMAGINARY COMPANION'S words, but if you shove it on me, we are gonna have a REAL problem.....

Check it out:

LOLOLOLOLOL

[70sEraVet]

148. Thanks. Never heard that song.

[RAB910]

9. This shameless self promotor made those poor airline employee's lives hell

she was just looking for trouble

[Maru Kitteh]

21. Noxious religious martyrdom. "The deepstate is oppressing me!" nt

[RAB910]

28. Pretty much, you don't see anyone else walking up and down the aisles singing

yet, because she considers herself a Christian, she feels she is above the rules and is opposed if people say otherwise

[Jersey Devil]

32. Billy Idol did it in "The Wedding Singer"

Everyone loved it

[Coventina]

33. Please tell me you understand the difference between movies and reality.

[Jersey Devil]

46. As far as reality is concerned, is it realistic to expect to have a good time on a plane?

Heck, there are so many things to get annoyed about on a flight that I would welcome something different like singing. A lot of smiling and clapping and foot stomping wouldn't bother me. This string reminds me of another movie, "Footloose".

[ShazzieB]

87. How nice for you. 🙄

However, your being unbothered or even entertained by someone putting on a concert for a captive audience on a plane does not trump anyone else's desire to not be subjected to religious proselytizing in a setting where there is no possibility of escape.

[KarenS]

11. I'm with the airline employee as well. n/t

[walkingman]

15. Sit down and STFU

[DFW]

27. I am absolutely with the Delta employee on this. Toss the offender off the plane, whether still on the ground or not.

The very word "fascist" is from the Latin word "facere," to do or to make. A fascist is one who would make you do something. Anyone who would force me to listen to anything like that is no different from someone opening up a so-called "ghetto blaster" and making the whole plane listen to Lawrence Welk or MC Hammer or Der Ring der Niebelungen, or whatever. If an infant is feeling bad about something and screaming, I can't stand that, either, but I also get that an infant doesn't deliberately make people in the plane suffer its cries on purpose. An adult noisemaker does.

And I usually don't mind air travel at all. This kind of thing must be double torture for those who already don't like air travel.

[Vinca]

31. I'm one of those oddball atheists who likes gospel music but shut up on the plane!

[TwilightZone]

37. A lot of atheists like gospel, curiously enough.

On a similar note, many atheists like holiday/Christmas music.

Just not on a plane.

[NNadir]

85. Ill go you one further. When i was a kid and played in clubs...

...in a folk setting, I often performed folk gospel songs, particularly those by Josh White.

I have no religion.

When my mother was dying, her last request, she told my aunts, her sisters, was that I believe in God. Talk about making unreasonable last requests!

My aunts tried to tell her that I must have believed in God, because I knew and played so many gospel folk songs. My mother knew better, even as her brain failed.

The music is beautiful, the rhetoric not so much.

[TwilightZone]

93. Tim Minchin

Writing about Christmas music:

"Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords but the lyrics are dodgy"

From "White Wine in the Sun," the best holiday song ever written (in my opinion!).

Tim's an atheist and a writer/producer/director/artist/human being extraordinaire.

[Ocelot II]

64. I love opera. But if a famous opera singer stood up in the aisle and sang "Vissi d'arte"

I'd be just as irritated. An airplane is a means of transportation, not a concert hall, and I don't want some singer on an ego trip "entertaining" me when I just want to go somewhere without being bothered.

[Jersey Devil]

38. There are too many grumpy people in this string

Heck, I sure understand why no one would want to fly on a plane with a crying baby or a barking dog, but singing? As far as it being some kind of religious evangelism, check I love gospel music and I'm not the least bit religious. I bet most of the people in this string would respond with "humbug" if someone wished them a Merry Christmas.

[Ocelot II]

70. I don't care that it was gospel music. It could have been anything

and it would have been just as inappropriate. Why not have a karaoke setup so anybody who wanted to could sing whatever they wanted and annoy all the other passengers who are just trying to go somewhere? Religion has nothing to do with it; it's about the rudeness of a self-promoting passenger.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

140. No, there is one person who refuses to consider

The needs or wants or feelings of anyone else.

Nobody has the right to force their cult on anyone else, especially not in a captive space. And people paid for a flight, not to be subjected to an obnoxious prat who has no bloody manners.

If you like this trash and trashy behavior, then pay for a bloody ticket to see this ill-mannered idiot in concert, and let the rest of us have our peace and quiet.

[Mysterian]

175. You fail to understand common courtesy

That's your problem, not "grumpy" people in this thread.

[superpatriotman]

39. Subways of the sky

We are quickly losing the concept of other people

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

142. Americans have never had a firm grasp

On being considerate of others. Oh, it happens, but too often the national personality has very little respect for boundaries or personal space or having a clue about respecting anyone else's need for peace and quiet.

And they don't take polite hints to back off, either.

[Voltaire2]

167. Another reason I stopped going to movie theaters

I really have zero tolerance for people who cannot shut up or who have to be on their fucking phones all the time everywhere.

[Mr.Bill]

41. I was on a flight one time

from San Francisco to Los Angeles on Christmas eve, which is a 50 minute flight when a flight attendant led us all in Christmas carols. But before she did so, she asked us if we would like to do that and no one objected. I'm not a big fan of Christmas carols, but I admit it was kind of fun.

[BadgerMom]

45. Safety issues, too.

Where was she standing? Was there a drink service going on? Was restroom access blocked? The crew is safety-trained and safety-oriented.

[Jersey Devil]

47. Sure, planes crash all the time from passengers singing

Laughing is probably just as dangerous so let's ban funny books while in flight.

[obamanut2012]

49. It is disruptive and against policy

My God.

[Jersey Devil]

54. Against "policy"?

I bet extremely loud laughing is against "policy" too

[obamanut2012]

81. She was disruptive, repeatedly failed to obey the FAs telling her to stop

People have been kicked off and banned for less, and she is lucky it didn't happen to her.

Your excusing and stanning disruptive passengers is offputting and perplexing. You seem to be mocking me about "policy," but it is policy and Federal laws. She refused to obey FAs, and that is breaking Federal law, so thank you for reminding me to eidt that in.

[Torchlight]

134. I think your change in tack is called an

'absurdum ad reductio.'

[Voltaire2]

169. It is a goal post shift.

[obamanut2012]

48. I want everyone on a plane to be polite and as quiet as possible, and keep your religion to yourself

Babies get a pass from the "behave"policy.

I don't want to hear ANY singing, but especially not someone WALKING through the plane singing about God and Jesus. Flying is stressful and awful enough as it is.

She could have told a FA and been excited, and they would have probably made an announcement. I was on a flight once when they announced we had an Olympian medal winner aboard -- it was a wrestler who later became an MMA fighter, and that's all I am saying.

[Jersey Devil]

51. Singing is stressful?

Some guy sitting in the middle seat who barfs on my loafers, now that would be stressful. But singing?

[obamanut2012]

83. You know, you are trolling now, and I am done

You are only now mocking and snarking at anyone who replies.

[Jersey Devil]

90. Why not?

The world is exploding and silly me, I found it rather ridiculous for people to get all lathered up about someone who was so happy she burst into a song.

[ShazzieB]

101. You've made your position clear. Repeatedly.

We all know where you stand on this. Fine, you do you. Most of us feel differently. I suggest that you at least try to respect that and quit telling the rest of us that we're "silly," because we would not enjoy something you would enjoy.

Telling other people how they should feel is inappropriate, and so is criticizing them for feeling differently than you do. You're doing both, over and over and over. Please stop.

[Jersey Devil]

108. Don't worry, be happy

The only person I called "silly" was myself. With all the turmoil going on in the world I just thought that having a little fun with a not terribly important subject would lighten things up a bit. Perhaps I took it too far and got that I apologise.

[ShazzieB]

118. Apology acepted.

For the record, I believe you did take it a bit too far, but I realize that annoying people was not your intention.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

143. Yes, it is stressful to other passengers

Welcome to reality.

[NewHendoLib]

52. Firmly supportive of the Delta crew. Narcissism is doing our country in.

[Demovictory9]

73. Me too

[ShazzieB]

103. Hard agree.

An airplane full of passengers is the very definition of a captive audience. The flight attendants were 100% correct to shut this down.

[pinkstarburst]

53. I'm with the airline on this one

People have forgotten how to behave appropriately in public. Would it have been okay if someone wanted to stand up and perform some slam poetry for half an hour, containing graphic sexual language and innuendo? What if someone wanted to stand up and read to the entire plane from a novel they had self-published for the entire flight?

They ask you to sit in your seat and entertain yourself with a book or your phone or some knitting quietly for a reason. Just because this idiot thought she was amazing and the whole plane should be falling at her feet to hear her amazing performance doesn't mean anyone else felt the same. Sit your butt down and be quiet.

[Mr.Bill]

56. I wonder how little miss gospel singer

would like to hear a few rappers perform their profanity laced hits on the plane.

[progressoid]

58. Or some Hare Krishna singers

?si=4II8RkNHSQ1C8ju9

[MorbidButterflyTat]

146. Yup

[Mr. Evil]

59. Maybe she thought

this was a great opportunity to sing since she had such a captive audience.

[Jersey Devil]

69. Kinda like at the ballpark when they sing "Take Me Out To the Ballgame"

It's over quick and nobody gets hurt.

[Voltaire2]

170. It is more like running out into the ball field because its all about you.

and the behavior deserves the tackle and arrest that it gets.

[Jersey Devil]

61. So you'd approve of top 40 singing but not gospel. How about Elvis?

Personally I'd like to have Billy Joel or Elton John singing on my plane. Elvis recorded a lot of gospel, so would you object to Elvis singing on your plane?

[Coventina]

65. I don't approve of any singing on a plane. n/t

[Jersey Devil]

74. I think you have too many rules

I enjoy it when I see (or hear) happy people. If we were closer to Christmas I'd probably call you a Grinch.

[Croney]

77. This subject seems intensely personal to you.

Are you a performer?

[Jersey Devil]

84. A performer in a way, yes

I'm a lawyer. With everything so tense lately in the news I am having a good time goofing with the OP. Is that analogous to singing on a plane?

[Croney]

86. Whatever floats your boat.

[Kennah]

173. Or flies your plane, is it were

[obamanut2012]

88. Except you aren't "goofing" at other posters

You are mocking and attacking them for some reason, thinking it's funny. It isn't.

[Jersey Devil]

96. I am heartily sorry for having offended thee

No mocking anyone. Just having a little fun with a not so very important topic. Put me on ignore if you wish so that your sensibilities will not suffer.

[ShazzieB]

107. You may be having fun, but I'm pretty sure you're the only one.

In fact, I'm just about positive you're the only one having fun. Based on the responses you're getting, I'd say you are actually annoying quite a few people.

You need to learn to read the room.

[Jersey Devil]

114. You may be right, I may be crazy (apologies to Billy Joel)

Imagine a string about singing on an airplane having well over 100 responses on DU and maybe you could be wrong about people not having fun. "You could be wrong but you may be right" to quote the bard of 52nd Street.

[ShazzieB]

116. Sure, Jan.

[Voltaire2]

171. trolling is not about likes it is about quantity of responses and level of annoyance

[Conjuay]

131. that"sorry for offending

thee “ in and of itself insulting and belittling.

Now getting back to the question at hand, I’m sure her recordings have automatic pitch correction, layering, reverb and a host of other tricks of the trade her running her mouth on a plane does not have.

This is ego, not talent to pull a stunt like that.

They should have offered her a parachute and tell her to go sing outside.

[obamanut2012]

152. Why are you being such a jerk to me? Seriously, why?

Again, you are not "having fun," you are being bullying and mocking. Vrey much a "it's a jooookeeeee.... quit being so thin-skinnneddddddd."

Don't tell me who to put on ignore. I'm not the one being a bully.

[NYC Liberal]

109. Here's a crazy idea:

If you want to hear people singing while you’re on a plane, put on some headphones and connect them to the device of your choice. Then everyone gets to listen to the music that makes them happy and those who don’t want to hear singing don’t have to.

[Voltaire2]

157. Her religion is so persecuted.

It must be so hard for her. I can't imagine going through life as part of the dominant religion and having to put up with people who don't want your religion pushed in their faces.

[Mosby]

67. I don't think singing on a plane is appropriate

But for 5-10 minutes who cares.

[ecstatic]

71. lol. nt

[csziggy]

78. Reminder to self - buy a noise canceling headset before I ever fly again

That way I can ignore screaming babies - whether they are gospel singers or little humans - and barking dogs. I don't want to listen to any of them. While the music part of gospel is OK, I detest the message in gospel music and will not voluntarily listen to it. If I were subjected to it in a confined area where I have no choice, I would be complaining to the flight attendants or whoever is in charge to tell them to STFU. If needed, I can go full Karen very effectively.

113. If I'm ever on a plane where someone starts proselytizing about religion in any way, I hope you're on it, too.

I would be complaining to the flight attendants or whoever is in charge to tell them to STFU. If needed, I can go full Karen very effectively.

Same here, and they'd have a really hard time ignoring both of us!

89. I don't think I would have cared if it wasn't gospel music.

But basically, regardless of her motivation, she was proselytizing to a trapped audience and that sucks on a lot of levels.

[Oopsie Daisy]

92. Only Barbra and Dame Shirley Bassey should be allowed to sing while flying commercially.

[nilram]

94. Flight attendant pay doesn't start till the doors close.

One reason that boarding a plane is so rushed and miserable.

[totodeinhere]

95. I agree with the Delta crew member.

I'm not a fan of gospel music and I wouldn't want to have it forced on me.

[Maraya1969]

97. It has a paywall. Does it contain the video?

[Croney]

99. Yes.

[Maraya1969]

145. I found it on Instagram

The comments were not very nice for the woman.

[bringthePaine]

98. fuck that noisy thumper asshole👍🎉

100. This is the entertainment in hell.

[Buns_of_Fire]

102. Singing on a plane can introduce unique dangers...

[LudwigPastorius]

110. Robert Stack knew how to deal with people trying to sell you...whether in the air or on the ground.

[MustBeTheBooz]

135. Ha! I was hoping someone would post this! 🤪

106. The arrogance of Christian cultists.

The cult tells them that they are always in the right. God is always helping them. Even in furthering their singing careers. And if in their very egotistical human minds they decide to "entertain' a captive audience to show off, then it MUST be God telling them to do it.

She takes advantage of people's politeness. Yes there may have been a few others there, likely fellow cultists, who wanted to hear her, but I'm sure most in the plane just wanted quiet and be able to relax.

And the audacity of then putting out a post how the airline apologized to her (I'd like to see that) implying that she did nothing wrong. D E L U D E D.

[MenloParque]

111. Yikes how inconsiderate of her. You start singing that Christian conspiracy theory nonsense to people you don't know

In a tin can in the sky you are the Asshole. I paint all believers in that Sky Daddy nonsense with the same brush as Trumpers. They suck

[Elessar Zappa]

172. Careful with your broad brush.

The most loyal base of the Democratic Party, black Americans, are the most religious group in the country. If we’re seen as an anti-religion party, we’ll lose every time. Joe Biden is a devout Catholic. Does he “suck”?

[MenloParque]

179. As a Black Female I know what is going on in MY community.

I am happy to know that more and more of my People are realizing that religion poisons everything. Never said Biden sucks as he if free to practice religion in this country. I am also free to say that religion sucks. All of them.

[Deep State Witch]

117. IOKIYAC

It's okay if you're a Christian. Because if someone tries to stop you, it's religious discrimination.

I'd start chanting "We all come from the Goddess" or something like that.

[Croney]

120. I only see it once

[SharonClark]

123. How weird

When scanning thru Latest Discussions, the OP popped up 4 times, about 30 minutes apart.
When I sorted on author name, it was only listed once, so you are correct.

I'll delete my post.

[Jersey Devil]

128. Just as weird

Sometimes when I refresh the General Discussion page the entire thread seems to disappear and then reappears after a few more refreshes. Maybe a software glitch?

[sl8]

126. Are you counting the "milestone" posts?

e.g., "25 replies", "50 replies", etc.?

They're from the system, not the OP.

I only see one post with this title, other than the 3 "milestone" posts. You can turn off the display of them.

[Renew Deal]

121. Was this a publicity stunt?

I guess it worked.

[Bayard]

125. I'd probably have thrown my peanuts at her

Its been a long time since I've flown, but when I do, I want to read or sleep.

[hatrack]

129. STFD & STFU

130. If I want to listen to her music, I'll buy her album. Otherwise, not interested.

And that goes double for being crammed like sardines into a tin can going 600 mph at 30k feet. Hard pass, lady, please sit your tuchus down.

[TSExile]

136. UGGGH.

If I'm on a plane, I want as much quiet as possible. Noise-canceling headphones are a necessity!!

[usonian]

147. Kicking for Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

IIRC, Steve Martin tries to get passengers to sing " Three Coins in a Fountain" and fizzles, but how if the passengers on the plane counter with John Candy's "Flintstones" theme? That'd drown out the proselytizing.

Especially the January 6 version:

Flynn-Stones
Meet the Flynn Stones
They're the modern stone-age family
From the Hotel Willard
They made plans to kill democracy

Let's ride in the limo with Mike Pence
His life isn't worth eleven cents.

When you're with the Flynn-Stones
Have a G.O.P. sedition
A great new year tradition.
We're gonna do hard time.

[Ziggysmom]

153. Who doe she think she is? STFU or leave already!! She disrupted an entire

flight because she wanted a captive audience, and then blames the employee for doing his job!

[treestar]

154. I agree with the flight attendant

no matter what type of music it is, or if it is a speech. Just rude to take advantage of a captive audience like that. True some may enjoy it, but others will be annoyed and that takes precedence IMO.

They used to have a movie but you had headphones so those who didn't want to watch it didn't have to hear it.

[CoopersDad]

156. She just would NOT SHUT UP.

How completely rude and self-absorbed and to make it worse totally unapologetic.

[SYFROYH]

158. Entitled, attention-seeking religious freaks can be super annoying.

But mostly, this seems like a publicity stunt.

[malaise]

162. The crew was correct

She had no right to either self promote or proselytize on that flight.

I was in a Zoom meeting recently and one of the functionaries wanted to begin with prayer. I interrupted her and suggested that she read the institution’s statutes before imposing her religious views on the rest of us. There were people from a variety of religions and no faith in that meeting.

She sent me an email apologizing after the meeting.

[shrike3]

164. I'm religious, and I don't want my flight to start off with anybody singing.

Travel is stressful enough. No, thanks.

[housecat]

174. When I purchase a ticket, I expect to suffer from the inconveniences of air travel, but

I do not expect to have my flight ruined by other passengers unless they paid for my ticket.

Crying babies, barking dogs, and loud singers should pay for the nuisance they create. Landlords often have a surcharge for pets, theaters may not admit babies, and libraries ban noise. Airlines could discourage nuisance by babies, dogs, and other passengers by selling extra seats to the passengers who impose their noise on a very captive audience.
