00:00Mais do que um gênero musical, o gospel é essencialmente uma tradição espiritual, um estilo de vida.

00:06Quando você ouve falar que alguém abandonou o gospel para cantar qualquer outra coisa,

00:11é importante saber se a pessoa referida renegou aquela tradição ou apenas está adicionando algo mais ao seu repertório.

00:17Cantoras como Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston e Mariah Carey,

00:21sempre entenderam que nunca deixaram o gospel para cantar o pop.

00:24Aretha Franklin acreditava que o gospel era parte integrante de sua vida

00:28e que ela levava a igreja para onde fosse.

00:31I started very young, that's what I was going to say.

00:33In your dad's church?

00:35Mm-hmm.

00:3612, 13.

00:38Doing gospel?

00:38Yes.

00:40Is it still your favorite music?

00:42Yes, it's an eighth part of me, an integral part.

00:47Do you still sing every Sunday?

00:49Not every, but when I get the opportunity.

00:52When you go, you still sing at your dad's church?

00:54Yes.

00:55Yeah?

00:55I'll always go to church, and I don't have to be in the building to go to church.

01:00Whitney Houston também acreditava que o gospel não estava apenas nas raízes e na origem,

01:05mas que era algo que perdurava pela vida toda.

01:08A lot of our great singers in America are gospel singers.

01:14They are gospel singers.

01:15They don't just sing gospel and say, oh, I'm going to sing pop.

01:19It goes on, it lingers, and it goes through their careers.

01:21They take it anywhere they go.

01:23Mariah Carey, enquanto cantora pop, nunca abandonou o gospel.

01:27I listen to a lot of gospel music in my spare time, more than I listen to pop or R&B, even.

01:33And I think that that's shown up a lot in my writing.

01:36So it's something that I was, I felt blessed to be given the ability, just, you know,

01:43writing songs comes from God, so for me it's about giving back and making sure that that

01:48comes across and that people can feel something and maybe learn something that'll help them

01:52as a person, because I know there are a lot of gospel songs that have helped me as a person.

01:57Em sua autobiografia, Mariah disse que aprendeu com Aretha.

02:01When she was in her late teens, she moved from singing gospel to jazz, or rather, she

02:06added jazz to her repertoire because she never moved from gospel.

02:11One of my favorite albums of hers is Still Gospel, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.

02:16And when she sang standards, there was nothing at all standard about her delivery.

02:22She brought a soulfulness to everything that was all her own.

02:26When Aretha left out of this world, Mariah wrote about her in her Instagram.

02:31You showed me that I could sing the songs that I wanted to sing, and bring God to me.

02:35You inspired millions in all places, but never left home, never left home, never left home.
