Did Simon get saved???
Anyone notice the amazing turn that American Idol has taken the last two weeks? Last week, the American Idol results show featured the Clark Brothers (winners of the Next Great American Band) played "This Little Light of Mine". Dolly Parton also sang a song about "Jesus and Gravity" something or other - about one keeping her grounded, etc, etc. (forgive me for not knowing more specifics, I sort of tuned her out...can only handle GOOD country, not the twangy kind!). Then this week, the results show began last night with the remaining finalists singing "Shout to the LORD". Seriously! Started off with "My Jesus, My Savior" - the whole bit! I was shocked!!! That's not even one of those "generic" Christian songs that everybody sings, whether they know Jesus or not - sort of like "Amazing Grace" or something - everyone knows that. "Shout to the Lord" - there's nothing "discreet" about it!! I LOVED it!!!!

Maybe I should start tuning in!!
i was quite shocked as well! i sat there wondering about the contestants who aren't Christians and thinking, how does someone sing this song not knowing Him and it not be weird for them? somebody over there is being a good influence and getting some amazing results from this "secular" show! i really couldn't believe it and i loved it all at the same time! :)
I'm glad you posted this - I sat there with my jaw hitting the floor. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I'd love to know what made them choose that song and what everyone's opinion on it was. God is working!
Mark & I had the same exact conversation and how there is obviously some evangelist producer on American Idol - I love it! Ryan Seacrest said that 'Shout to the Lord' was the #1 downloaded i-tune song too!!!!! Keep it up AI!
Trevor has his opinion about this of course, and he says it's because of response that has been sent in due to the postitive songs and as a result of a couple of the contestants who are outspoken about their faith!! Whatever it is, we LOVED it!!
I know Craig I had our mouths hung open and were like huh? And then we were like "WOW, this is awesome" and filled with emotion as the group stood there and sung it. Two nights in a row at that!!
