chills...

i couldn't believe what i saw a heard on American Idol tonight. i was on the mac on the couch kinda watching "idol" tonight and at the end i thought i heard ryan seacrest that they were gonna sing "Shout to the Lord", and i instantly just assume that i heard wrong. nope, i had heard correctly. i don't know what to say...a show as big as american idol with such a huge audience filled with people that have SO many different religious beliefs and the fact that they sang that song seems like a bold decision. derek and i just watched and listened to them sing that song in disbelief and thankfulness. i know that the show is gonna get a lot of negative response because of it...but, oh well. all i can say is that we had chills.

Sorry, but I am totally going to be the pooper here. Although I will admit it was cool to here a worship song on Fox, why that one? Trav and I both thought it totally didn't fit in. Of all the worship songs to sing....

I just didn't get it. Weird....almost as weird as Robin Williams!

hi jen~ i kinda know what you're saying..but i guess i saw it as they were dedicating that song to all the people who they talked about on the show who are suffering in some way & also, what i thought was cool was that when the american idol contestant's were singing it, all of them seemed like they meant it. who know's maybe it was just a song to some of them...i guess i was just impressed that they took a "chance".

they censored the Name "Jesus" in the opening line of the song and instead said... "My SHEPHERD, my savior, Lord there is none like you...." weak. and i agree they could've picked a cooler song.
