Crazy K, Kanye West, cries and testifies at bizzare Sermon at Coachella and music                                                                                     
    Kanye West made Coachella history this weekend, when he brought his famous Sunday Service spectacle to the Southern Californian desert festival for a massive Easter morning celebration. Although the “Jesus Walks” rapper has been staging Sunday Services since January, they have so far taken place in a secret Los Angeles location and have been invite-only, so this performance was the first time that the general public could attend. (Everyone with a Coachella wristband was welcome.) The full show was also live-streamed on YouTube through a fisheye-style peephole lens, for an especially intimate effect.

West has performed at Coachella three times previously, and was slated to headline this year until, according to an exclusive Billboard report, he pulled out at the last minute because the festival would not accommodate his ambitious plan to appear on a giant, custom-built, dome-shaped stage. Instead, West ended up performing Sunday morning on a special hilltop stage at the festival’s camping area — marking the first time that a major event has taken place on the Coachella campground in the festival’s 20-year history. The site opened at 6 a.m. for the 9 a.m. service, and a reported 10,000 fans showed up to praise and worship, Kanye-style.


West, rocking Easter-egg lavender hair to match his Teletubbies-reminiscent baggy purple church outfit, served mainly as the choir director for the two-and-a-half-hour event, stationing himself behind a keyboard and ceding the stage to his purple-robed orchestra, horn section, gospel singers, percussionists, and the dozens of ecstatic, synchronized dancers spread out across the hills surrounding the camping area. In fact, the first 40 minutes of the service was entirely instrumental, and West wasn’t even shown on the live stream until about 9:50 a.m.
