  • Beautiful!

  • awesome performance!! - incredibly annoying screaming audience!!

  • Awesome song. Awesome and brave performance! I can hardly believe the way the judges hearts were closed to the Spirit shining, pouring out in this beautiful performance. Thank you, Kalen.

  • I remember when I watched this years ago, I knew he was going to win. I'm not religious myself but I respected his conviction. He always carried himself with dignity regardless of what was said by others and what was going on around him. You can't buy class and dignity; you either have it or you don't.

  • esa no es la cancion original y eso no es la voz vaya porqueria

  • last 2 judges CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES that was amazing sure it wasnt a great some choice to pick coz its all christen n shit but fuck them who cares that was great

  • amen...ur da best..

  • OMG haha I danced with this guy and got a kiss on the cheek back in grade school <3 lol Kalen might remember an embarrassing moment when I wrote him a note and all his friends grabbed it and cornered us and made him tell me I was to young for him LOL hahahaha I crushed on KALEN way before this

  • It's so awesome to know that despite what people say god always has the last say and I know Jesus and the father are proud of him!!! People cannot curse what god has blessed. -3

  • Man's opinion is dust compared to the greatest opinion of all. You sang for Him and that's all that matters.

  • Wow those judges are just like the ones on american idol. that simon cowell on american idol is just like the judge on here with dark hair. He did amazing and i got goosebumps. How can he say it was boring. it wasnt even close to boring. it was out of this world AMAZING!!!

  • Daww he is so good!

  • All these years & I'm still a fan , whatever happened to Kalan ): He still has beautiful vocals !

  • still a fan!

  • An Angel sent from Heaven .....using his gift to spread the word about Jesus.

  • cool

  • Great version. Everytime I hear this song, I wonder if I will ever get to see God's face.

    Need serious help, now. Check my channel willann54 Miracle Prayer.

  • that was NOT boring. do they not understand how the song builds up?! They couldn't feel the song like Kalan and others that understand. Its about how we are so insignificant compared to God, yet we have this chance to meet Him face to face, and as a mere human, really, you can only imagine how the first moments with Jesus would be like. and the song progresses as a timid thought from a sinner (human) into a sinner longing to meet Jesus face to face, and being more motivated. Praise God.

  • best version!

  • i like mercyme's version more

  • Very cool...Reminds me of a young Rod Stewart.

  • Despite what the judges said, at least the fans were still cheering for him.

  • wait until they are judged.then they will see then the shoe is on the other foot

  • BEAUTIFUL SONG AND SONG THE SAME.

  • Seriously, so many better artists have come outta Canada. He wasn't all that good. Is this the best you have to offer now??

  • Kalan!I Wonderful!

  • Kalan it is a good job

  • Beauiful brings me to tears! Praise jesus ! Those judges don't know what they are talking about.

  • Wonderful! Very heartfelt rendition by a talented young man.

  • oh shut up! those judges dont know what real singing is. sure he may not be the best of the best but he is still an amazing singer

  • @emkayMK222 he actually is one of the best of the best - seriously should be way more known right now - or in a progressive band, where his talents could be realized

  • @TheOvermaster I agree completely. His voice is so awesome, and you can really hear the emotions.

  • When I watch him, it's like he's singing to his lord...gives me the chills

  • I guess those judges just need to re-watch his face for the first portion of the song... You could tell that he was really into the song,

    I give him a thumbs up for the attitude as well, I he barely looked upset when they criticized him.

  • they dont know nothing that song is abouit Jesus and he is not boring

  • Best moment was when the voters proved him right and voted him the top finisher... so much for Zach's feedback

  • I don't know what drugs them judges are on, But when that kid sings that song you can feel it from his heart !!!!!! That was AWESOME !!!!!! GREAT JOB..... I loved it

  • wow!! those judges are crazy!!! OMG he sings AMAZING!!! WOOOOWW!!

    they say its boring just because its a 'Jesus' songgg ~:

  • wow... never heard him singing, but I like him better than MercyMe. MercyMe is great, don't get me wrong, but their high vocal singer hurts my ears. This guy is wonderful!

  • Its awesome i love this song and he sings it very well...im amazed! Good job boy! c",)

  • Those judges are MESSED !

    He sang beautifully !

  • Beautiful!

  • I really liked that, and I'm no religious person but found that beautiful!! The host said it perfectly, and the judges well they can just eat their words, and that lady is just too eughhh the lower register was fine and sounded so whole and beautiful, anyways I'm glad he won!

  • I think that when the singer sings with faith and reverance we can hear it truly. It depends on the listeners ear as well

  • He looks like an angel singing for God.

  • It has been a while since I've watched this video.. still gives me goosebumps

    Kalan gave a spectacular performance of this song.

  • i love that song and im a christian why should it matter?

  • gang man your really cute

  • Why did that guy say that his performance was boring?I really enjoyed it...I´m so glad cuz he won , what´s the problem if he wants to sing a song about his faith?I dunno what happens with that guy ...

    Porter , u r so brave , I wish I could b like u someday.

  • did he win?

  • Yes. he did!

  • thats a very courageouos thing you ve done...sing in public...

  • Amen, that boy can really sing for Jesus

    in front of the public

  • They do the same thing on American Idol...If you sing a Christian song they tell you it was really bad...When It was great! He did a great job! God Bless him! Also,why do all the judges on here mock the AI judges?

  • shame on me here - I'm a Christian and I shouldn't be thinking what I'm thinking about those judges; and I'm not the kind of person that says fuck them, so I won't

  • omg the girls r going crazy in the background thats funny rofl! ^-^

  • I can only wonder where I was the week he sang this song - I don't remember ever seeing this before...

    What guts he had to choose this and sing it on national television! (Go Kalan!)

    Thanks for posting this!

  • i love this song.

    (:

  • Don't worry Kalan, God will give you the reward of Heaven because of your mighty stand in faith and the feeling of not caring about worldly people.

  • I second that! Amen!

  • I feel honored to have the same last name.

  • wow... thats amazing that he could go up there and do it. and not care what anyone else thinks.

    Amazing Thing To Do!!!

  • It's hard for the judges to comment on a song about your relationship with God.

  • lol thast what it should be like! ... its Beaing the salt on the earth showing people your faith and not being ashamed. ! its exactly how they should feel as judges! specially if they are none christian on a world wide television show

    Gods really blessed kalan !

  • Ben i love you for that comment after. Kalan did one amazing job.. and i'm so proud to say he's my Canadian Idol and always will be!!!

  • IT WAS AMAZING! This is pure talent from GOD!! be blessed!

  • HE has a great voice, great for him to show his faith. the only slight mistake I saw was that his timing was a little off in the begining. Still an amazing performance.

  • Heavenly voice...

  • judges always rip religious songs..

  • "You've pulled a little medicine out of your hat, I see..."

    God, Sass always has the worst puns...

  • WOW Thats what we should all be doing everyday

    not ashamed to show your passion for chirst specially on idols !

    you did amazing!

  • The best vocals I have ever heard for this song,May God Bless you in every way.

  • It's great that Kalan dared to show his faith...pretty cool

  • Wisst ihr, was ich so toll finde? Jugendliche stehen für ihren Glauben ÖFFENTLICH ein. Und sie trauen sich, bekannte moderne Medien dazu zu nutzen. Das nenne ich mal mutig und richtig richtig cool!!!

  • I do really agree with the Host's comments...thank God for the Host's support

  • hahahahahahahaha

  • when I Sing This I Sound Like Kalan When I sing this,i just loveee itttt kalan!!! GOOD JOB KALAN ME AND MY MOM VOTED FOR YOU SOOO MANY TIMES UNTILL YOU WON!!

  • I cant help but just look up from whatever I'm doing and just.. listen

    its so beautiful

  • God Bless you, Kalan. It's been a couple years since you've sung this, but I hope it still rings true in your heart.

  • that was wonderful!...crazy judges...

  • If you have even a glimmer of Christ and what He is about you would see that this song was sung from a heart full of the salvation of Christ.

    Those are the kind of people we should pray that their eyes will be opened.

    Beautiful rendition Kalan.

  • good song

  • I don't know what the judges where listing to they must be nuts.Kalan wow awesome just beautiful your voice unbelieveable perfect your truly are a gift from God!!!

  • The judges found it boring, because they are not Christian! They are of the world. How can anyone listen to this and not be absolutely touched.

  • really satisfied by the performance wow

  • Hey I love this song I sing it sometimes

  • the last guy is a bitch... gods gonna kill you

  • haha

  • UGGGHHHHHHHHH, The last two judges are total Dicks!!!

  • this to continue.... 2

  • OMG this guy is so good it makes me cry!

    its truly amazing and its awesome and it sounds just like the real guy great job kalan! u rock this is heart touching and we all should believe in god hes the one that put all this world together and he made our lifes! so believe please and do me and god a favor just believe in him we all do deep down now make it show that you do!!!!! if you read this leave a comment and tell if you believe or not im hoping they r all yes say the truth im gonna leave one

  • omg hes realy good omg n hot!!!!!!!!

  • that was wonderful

  • the judges know absolutely crap! The only reason they punked Kalan is because its a song about giving glory to God and when we meet him after this human life and our soul enters into another realm. He sang that song amazing !!! Hands down. The devil works through many ways to make sure people fall short of gods love.

    The mercy me original is always going to be best version. Respect to Kalan and glory to the most high.

    Search mercy me's other songs including 'bring the rain.'

    Stay strong!

  • Nevermind ^_^

  • He has such a talent! X3 I hope he wins/won!

  • yuup he won :]!!

  • I love how the audience boos when those two guys said it was "boring."

  • Ha shouldnt matter if they think its boring lol he stood up for wat he believe in. Infront of millions of people can you do that? Say ur believer of jesus christ? I really am not spiritually ready but i know i would be soon. Wait for me God ^_^

  • Surrender yourself to him. He will take control and you will see things like never before. Life of course comes along with so many damn hardships but we must cry out for help and he will listen.

    Many will persecute you for following Jesus but we must not let them get the best of us.

    We are all here for you.

    May the lord bless you :)

  • Jesus Christ Is the Lord and Only He Can Save

    He singed Nice and he stands for what he believes Be Blessed

  • boring? it's Kalan's understated power... it's called subtletly, man! it takes control and technique with a touch of elegance, instead of blasting it all out. he was probably giving a variant to his singing style, building up to his climatic performance. besides, he is only 18. he has loads of potential to give character and depth to his singing with time... i'm rooting for u, Kalan. PTL for your guts to mention the Name above all names on national TV!

  • I am so glad he sung this on national television. God Bless him! :D

  • I thought he did amazing, I love Mercyme songs and whether they like it or not he was mocking christians and I think it is sad that someone cannot show their faith without being critised.

  • Could have been stronger in the beginning.

    Since the song is based on chorus, he could have put a little more texture in his voice. But above all, it was very, very heart felt and true. :) An Encore Performance! XD

  • so good it brought me to tears :.) of happiness

  • i am religous and i just think that those so called CANADIAN JUDGES who said kalans performance is boring well i think they are too ameerican and wont let other people stand up for wat they beleive in, GREAT JOB KALAN!!!I WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU!!!unless you go emo, haha

  • 2 of the judges are jewish (the two white men) as far as I know so I guess this song made them uncomfortable since Kalan was singing a song about his religion, christianity. I heard that the producers wanted Kalan to change the word "Jesus" to "God" so that anyone of any religion could relate to it. But Kalan wanted to sing the song in its original form. Nevertheless I thought Kalan did a beautiful job.

  • i think it was good. the judges just seemed to be uncomfortable with it.

  • I heard the producers did not want Kalan to sing this song, or maybe change some words, but Kalan sang it neverthelesss...pretty cool...

  • the judges who said his performance was boring were out of their mind. Its obvious that his performance was really great.

  • holy chickens! he's good!

  • the judges dont have an religius faith thats y they said it was boring. they just care about there music business.

  • i respect you standing up for what you believe in kalan! may jesus christ be praised! :)

  • man that was great...can't believe they said it was boring...

    god bless

  • the judge who gave negative comment is ridiculous. fabulous song and by terrific singer

  • he makes it seem so effortless...I just love him

  • I remember watching this and fealing so proud to be a Christian and Canadian.

    Awesome. I love Bens Mulroney's comments at the end.

  • I totally agree with you!!!

  • I agree as well, Kalan represented well.

  • what is wrong with those judges!? he was fricken amazing! whatever love ya kalan

  • nice guy

  • wow, that was good. I can't believe they said that it was boring

  • Great singer & Great Song. Keep it up.

  • He is awesome. And god loves he,very much. :))

  • a gem of a performance

  • i like this song so much,

    im Im muslim but i love jesus too .... - i can only imagine... respect...

  • I still think He TOTALLY DESERVED TO WIN!

  • agree 100%!

  • he laked heart

  • I love this guy! He's so good.

  • increiblemente asi se debe hacer.. XD

    ese es uno de mis suenios, si Dios me llegase a dar una oportuindad asi, yo tambien escojeria una cancion para el... la verdasd

    pero io no canto xD

    GodBless

  • whether kalan is singing to god, a girl, or a paper bag, you can see the passion and emotion he portrays when he sings this song and that is what makes him special.

  • heh that is sooo true that is what first attracted me to him and his work. his voice is filled with passion

  • kalan totally deserved to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Those 2 judges ARE boring. Kalan did wonderful :)

  • Zack is crazy; he sang this so beautiful

  • oh how i love this!

  • his voice lifted up my spirits:P:P wow Amazing.

  • Whether you believe in god or not, this is a great beautiful song...and what an amazing version!

  • the 2 last judges are probably bored with their idea of Jesus... I LOVE it... cheers to the host! and Check out the crowd! God Bless!!!

  • Its because he sang it an octave to low. I noticed it before they even said anything. Plus his sense of timing was off to but when he got to the second half it was amazing..

  • Bored?, that was amazing!!!, Obviously, they know (the judges)the God's love.

  • I don't watch CI, but amazing how one is not ashame of sharing his faith in National TV. God bless!

  • OMFG!

    I can't believe it!!

    I forgot that he sang thaty song! Whne I first heard him, I didn't even know how ot say Kalan's name! I said Cay-lum!! When he won , I jumped off of our couch and I got grouned for it! But HE IS STILL FREAKING AWESOME!

  • When I say OMFG, I mean Oh My Freaking Gosh. Not to accidentally offend someone.

  • he isn't ashamed to share his faith. way to go kalan!

  • Amen!

  • The judges are idiots. That was amazing.

  • This is my favourite that he did on CI2.
