Who would have thought! Spears, Sheeran and other stars who sang in the church choir

The careers of many contemporary performers have taken abrupt turns. And there is little in the work of Britney Spears or Avril Lavigne that indicates that they were devout in their childhood and that they know many Christian texts!

Tina Turner

The singer, real name Anna Mae Bullock, sang in a church choir in her hometown of Nutbush, Tennessee, when she was a child. His father was a Baptist deacon. After her parents divorced when she was ten, Tina lived with her grandmother and no longer went to church.

The singing career began in the choir of a nearby church in Springfield, Ohio. John grew up in a family of church musicians, so it wasn’t hard for him to join the band (and also learn to play the piano). While in college, he directed the Scranton church choir.

Britney Spears

The singer entered the Mickey Mouse Club show at the age of 11, performing there with Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. But Britney’s first performances were at a Baptist church when she was just eight years old.

Justin Timberlake

By the way, Justin also performed solo in the church choir, led by his father Randall. It was in Memphis, Tennessee, and Timberlake’s parents had already divorced by that time.

April Lavigne

Despite the fact that the singer’s work is far from pious church songs, she also developed vocal skills in the local choir in the Canadian city of Napanee, Ontario.

Katy Perry

Orlando Bloom’s pregnant bride spent her entire childhood in the church choir – she sang from age 7 to 15! And all because his parents were evangelical preachers in their hometown of Santa Barbara, California. At the age of 16, she even recorded an album of Christian songs, but it did not gain popularity.

Ed Sheeran

The famous singer started his career in the church choir at an early age – at the age of four! It took place in the English town of Suffolk and lasted about two years, after which Ed learned to play the guitar and dropped out of the choir.

Jessica Simpson

The singer and actress’ father was a priest, long before the MTV reality show, Jessica performed in the church choir in Abilene, Texas.

The legendary singer is the daughter of gospel singer (black church songs) Sissy Houston. Whitney started singing at New Hope Baptist Church in New Jersey when she was 11 years old. In 2012, her funeral took place here (the singer was found dead in a hotel room, drugs were found in her blood).
