Do I have a critical heart? I was watching a television program the other day in which a group of singers were all sitting on the stage, with thousands in the audience. Had they all paid to come see these singers worship themselves? That I do not know, but I would not be surprised if they had paid and paid dearly. All the singers were from many different groups of country gospel singers and solo artists all made up in their fancy stage clothes and sitting in big easy chairs in all their opulence.
As one group would get up and sing a favorite tune of theirs I could not help but think how the others were worshiping the voice ability of each singer, especially when the tenor or soprano would hit one of those really high long draw out yelling notes, not to mention how those singing would spend every bit of effort to project and impress the others with how great they could “belt it out” prancing around on stage like a rock star all the time singing songs that were suppose to be about the Lord God Almighty. Oh what dastardly deeds men do in the name of the Lord. What have we become? Have we turned from worship of God to worship of men and their abilities? Or am I just a critical heart?

Yes you are right on - you do not have acritical heart in the sence that you felt like what you witnessed was not worship of God at all, but worship of man. That is one of the reasons why we like the OPC. They do not have any "special music" as part of the worship. Everyting is Christ centered and the congregation is the choir singing worship to the Lord - we don't need a choir leader or a choir or special music to "entertain" us. It's quite refreshing actually.
