The other complaint I have in worship is when worship leaders insist on singing songs that no one can sing. They are great songs to entertain yourself with, but difficult for a congregation to sing, so you look around the congregation and less than 10% of the congregation are singing. The purpose of a worship team is to lead people into worship. If that isn't happening, one needs to assess what they are doing. Are they performing or are they worshiping?

It must be our age, but I also enjoy congregational singing, and songs that the ordinary churchgoer can actually sing.
