Wow... I wish I coud vocalize like whatshisface there. "The sound of your naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!!!" Amazing. He held on to that note for 6 seconds. Now just imagine if every singer were to sing this song at once over and over again? I can't wait to see what's up there... I wanna know no darkness, and no pain. Oh, glorious day!!!
This is so American... Barf. Also, why the fuck do I keep stumbling these religious song things? For the love of Darwin, it's getting seriously annoying.
i'm not from the US so i find it surprising that such an overtly religious song was sung and broadcast on tv. that said, i like this arrangement. it was nice.
My God! Jesus is truly the real American Idol! Lord I praise you for miracles that only you can perform! We are witnessing one when we view this clip! Glory to God! I Love the Lord. He is my Saviour, my Provider, my Keeper, my comforter, my deliverer, my EVERYTHING!
Psalm 132:16 "I will clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints will ever sing for joy." Isaiah 12:6 "sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you." John 4:23 "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks."
Im trying out for AMERICAN IDOL and AMERICAS GOT TALENT. please watch my vids. i think you might like them. my new vid is PERMANENT by David Cook. please watch them and comment. thank you so much youtube!! and watch me get SLAMMED in the face with a ball.!!!!!lol
oh my goodness...i was sooooo shocked when they did this!!!! so icredibly shocked!!!! it made me cry just watching them perform this...this song is sooo true in so many ways. i love you Jesus!!!! thank you for dying for us!
(: i think it's amazing that they sung this song (: America was formed upon God's strength and love for us humans (: I also know that Archie is a Christian , so he must've been happy(:
anyway , i don't ... well , i do care , but yeah .... i was going to say "i don't really care if they were singing this to the bottom of their hearts or if it was just for show" but i actully do care . well , i'm still happy (:
I loved that this was song on idol.. Thanks to singing it y'all... To god be the glory... Hopefully we will see it be song again this season or at least another worship song... Praise the Lord...
That is the coolest thing I have seen on Idol so far! I am thrilled that they did that! I hope that they received enough positive support to be inclined to do that sort of thing again. (Better choreography would be nice, but oh well!) PRAISE GOD!!!
You're completely correct. Thank you for that Biblical reminder. Besides the fact that only God judges the heart in the first place, that verse speaks very clearly about God's message being delivered through even insincerity. I guess I'm just a little jaded these days with the constant marketing of "Christianity". Nonetheless, you are correct. :)
It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
This was in response to untdrew from a few days ago...i ran out of characters. Whether or not this was a performance or true worship doesn't completely matter. American Idol is a platform that reaches millions of people and there were many other people or things that could have been glorified, yet Christ was and for that I am so thankful.
This verse is entirely pointless...Christ isn't being preached in this. This isn't even out of "envy or rivalry". This is a television show looking for an easily harmonizable song that will draw in a demographic. What this Scripture is talking about is people actually preaching the gospel...sharing the message of Christ. "Shout to the Lord" doesn't tell of Christ's death and ressurection, or God's salvation.
if thats what you think than your missing the whole point it shouldn't be looked at as one thing about the bible you should look at this from a christian point of view as the word of god and the the bible but his name being herd to million of poeple around the US that is an awseome thing that happened i think that god should be over joyed from that preformance
I love how in the middle when they break it down how David Cook totally overshadows Michael Johns, but they are both amazing. David Cook is just WOW! You can always hear his amazing voice
i agree - it's weird darlene zschech not singing it lol. i wonder who out of all of those sang it from their hearts?? nice to see the crowd swaying :P lols xx
so glad there is an unedited version, the original that includes Jesus's name in the song, as it should be. God, we have you in our hearts! Glory has been given back to Him with this version!
I love that AMERICAN IDOL sang a worship song like this! Praise to Jesus!! Praise to the Father! I agree.. hopefully someone got saved and things like this give Christians a good wrap... not for our glory.. but for the glory of our Shepard and Lord, Christ! God bless all who hear this beautiful song and watch the video! Merry Christmas! XOXOX
that is gr8 amist all the crises and all trouble america rember what u were fromed on liberty to praise GOD a free land to worship GOD ....gr8 goin more of it is needed all arnd the world ...wisj we could do it in my country
I think it's brilliant that this is being sung to such a major audience, yet it seams to feel like a performance, and has lost some meaning, but still it's brilliant that a praise worship song is being played to a lot of people!
Praise to Jesus. Thanks to American Idol for this group hymn by the best looking final 8 bunch. Goosebumps for the song and again praise to Jesus. I wish I had downloaded it to iTunes when it was still available
I was thrilled to hear this song on AI...it was awesome! Kudos AI and Dolly Pardon! I am also sad that since some people were upset and vocal about their objections, AI will probably not do a song like this one again.
David Archuleta had to hold the mike with his right hand... Even though hes a lefty... I guess they wanted to make it proper... MICHEAL JOHNS SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN VOTED OFF. :@!!! :'''(!!!
I like this song a lot (both versions, because to me they both mean the same thing). But I don't think that other songs are not "worth singing" if they aren't like this. Secular music is just as good. :) Go Jason Castro!
Ok, I spent 5 minutes coming up with this awesome analogy to help describe this relationship...but when I got halfway through typing it, I realized just how ridiculous the analogy really is - this relationship isn't just "you can't imagine," it's UNIMAGINABLE. It's not "I can't think of how to describe it" it's INDESCRIBABLE. I keep listening to this song over and over, just because the "promise" is eternal, and nothing can take that from me. "Tower of Refuge and Strength..." praise God!
Mr. Cook did get a important part as well as Carly. This song was never meant to be about one vocalist. This song is sung to help us praise our Lord Jesus Christ. I am sure that the AI contestance were not worried about how many lines they would sing when they are singing for the Lord!!!!!1
And find faith in that religion because within a decade of that time you will need faith for the time you will experience will be harder then anything you could imagine. I'm glad the station allowed this to be broadcasted people need to see religion, even if its in a three minute long song.
P.S- sorry i put these three comments in the reverse oder.
The people you work with, go to school with, see them as a religion and you'll see how much religion is in your everyday life then picture them gone, and one day they will be. What happens then is out of your control. The only thing you can do is adopt the religion your friend or family had that are now gone.
Religion will always be apart of a persons life whether the person wants it or not. Religion runs the world, sometime in the future all the Christians will be gone and when that happens the world will fall apart. How do I know this? Christianity is the leading religion in the world, when millions are gone, the economy will fall in a day, and EVERYONE will look for religion to help them, some will find it in the new world leader but imagine.
wow! this is such a relief!! Powerful rendition of young people singing a highly acclaimed praise song! Kudos to the producers of American Idol or whoever were the brains of this production number for giving Christianity a chance. Well, I hope and pray America goes back to her roots when she was first founded as a nation!
is the only way.. Jesus is not about religion, Jesus is about our Saviour who came and help and save. Those who believe Christ is a religion, is obviously failing to see the Saviour in His Words.....amen
Ah, religion. That thing that makes men fly planes into buildings. That thing that makes men invade another country, kill ninety thousand innocent people and then claim we're doing them a favour.
But, how could that be true if Religion is also the thing that allows the dead's loved ones to keep living there days? If it wasn't for religion, I could guarantee you that there would be a lot more teen suicides every year than there is now. Because they have so much faith in their religion, people can keep going on living no matter what kind of things life throws at them. Some religions may cause problems, but the majority solve instead.
your wrong boy ur just thinkin in islam... and most islamic people are peaceful...have u traded brains lately with an imbecil cuz this is a christian song..and christianity is not a religion although many people see it as one...God is not a religion
You know it's all about planting seeds. Many non Christians would have seen this and if one of them is moved to find out a little more about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because of it then it is truly a blessing.
Hillsong are awesome.
If you want to see great christian music look up Sons of Korah
I don't think there is anything better for talented singers to do than to praise the one who died for them and the one who blessed them with their talent in the first place. This was fantastic, and I pray that all those who had a problem with this can one day let Jesus into their hearts.
this is the best thing they did...keep using the gift given unto you for the glory of God...i know that the Lord is moving in your lives that He will makes all men praise His name...
The real issue isnt really who sings the song and where or on wat occasion it is sung, but it is really the question of the intention of singing the song and also the attention given while the song is sung. It is a great song, but it losses all meaning when the intention and the focus is wrong.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is offensive on many levels. It's unfair to the performers who probably have no recourse but quit or sing, unfair to those of us who like Idol, but don't want to hear this kind of music, unfair to christians who are pandered to in an effort to cash in on the christian dollars which will only go to Fox and production company etal. If you believe this is evidence of the network's or performers' christian leanings, think again. WWJD? Probably not sing on Idol. He's got some real work to do.
I am sorry to say this to you,but they were not preasurised into singing this stunning song.Also you might not like it but most people,christians and non christians liked it.Just listen to the applause at the end.And many christian songs are far better than popular songs, Of which most have no real meaning(usually boy girl love songs).But we sing songs because of the love that Jesus showed us on the cross.Praise the lord.Amen!
Welshhegehog is right! it's ok for the idol to sing that song because we are all God's Creation., they sAng the Shout to the lORD whole heartedly,,...To God be the Glory for the talents that given them.. God bless us all...
Delight yourself unto the Lord and He will give you the desire's of your heart.
Little do you know that Jesus was working that night. WWJD? He would totaly have been there!!! Jesus, the angels and every true believer on this earth is excited that people on public TV acknowledged Him as Lord. Not very many people do present Jesus as Lord, but they did.
I know that Jesus is pleased with what they did and that they will rewarded. I know that they were not in it for money but to give praise to God. I only can pray that more christians will stand for Him in this way.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is very offensive! Why do they sing the song if they don't mean what they're saying. The song says "power and majesty praise to the King" yet they're getting all the praise.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No, what I think it is, is that they
1)were running out of group songs
2)were trying to cater to the christian culture. they want more people from everywhere watching this show because they're ratings have fallen since they first began.
Besides there contestants that have been on the show are OBVIOUSLY not assciociated with Christianity. So, no, that is definitely not their message.
"The message I get from this is if you want to be an "American" idol you have to be Christian. Hypocrisy anyone?"
And I was trying to tell them that not all the contestants (from every season and not just the top 10) were christians so they were not right in what they got out of this.
Darlene Zschech sing shout to the lord at singapore new creation churchon 27/04/08 !!! ha ha ha!!!.praise i have been singing and wish that church would sing it again. never had i know that god bring her to church. praise jesus for his timing . we had just had our miracle seed . God reward us with her coming to us!
I missed this on t.v too but when I heard they sang it I was so shocked but it made me so happy...I agree with many that are glad the contestants had no shame to proclaim Jesus' name on national television. It's amazing and I hope it did open theirs and the viewers hearts to Jesus.
This is awesome that they kept Jesus name in this version. Amazing that a song such as this is on tv nationwide, even worldwide. More christian songs need to be sung on this show.
This is my favorite moment on American Idol!!!

What happens then is out of your control. The only thing you can do is adopt the religion your friend or family had that are now gone.

Religion will always be apart of a persons life whether the person wants it or not. Religion runs the world, sometime in the future all the Christians will be gone and when that happens the world will fall apart. How do I know this? Christianity is the leading religion in the world, when millions are gone, the economy will fall in a day, and EVERYONE will look for religion to help them, some will find it in the new world leader but imagine.

wow! this is such a relief!! Powerful rendition of young people singing a highly acclaimed praise song! Kudos to the producers of American Idol or whoever were the brains of this production number for giving Christianity a chance. Well, I hope and pray America goes back to her roots when she was first founded as a nation!

SHout to the Lord
is the only way.. Jesus is not about religion, Jesus is about our Saviour who came and help and save. Those who believe Christ is a religion, is obviously failing to see the Saviour in His Words.....amen

Ah, religion. That thing that makes men fly planes into buildings. That thing that makes men invade another country, kill ninety thousand innocent people and then claim we're doing them a favour.
Religion isn't the cure, it's the problem.

Religious fanatics are the problem, not religion. Religion has helped normal, everyday people get by day to day when nothing else is there for them.

But, how could that be true if Religion is also the thing that allows the dead's loved ones to keep living there days? If it wasn't for religion, I could guarantee you that there would be a lot more teen suicides every year than there is now. Because they have so much faith in their religion, people can keep going on living no matter what kind of things life throws at them. Some religions may cause problems, but the majority solve instead.

i hate religion too. it stops at ideas & only aims 2 control behaviour. what for?
if God is real & he's caring for you, you'll feel him the moment you ask him to from ur heart.
if not, nothing will change.

You know it's all about planting seeds. Many non Christians would have seen this and if one of them is moved to find out a little more about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because of it then it is truly a blessing.
Hillsong are awesome.

I don't think there is anything better for talented singers to do than to praise the one who died for them and the one who blessed them with their talent in the first place. This was fantastic, and I pray that all those who had a problem with this can one day let Jesus into their hearts.

The real issue isnt really who sings the song and where or on wat occasion it is sung, but it is really the question of the intention of singing the song and also the attention given while the song is sung. It is a great song, but it losses all meaning when the intention and the focus is wrong.

This is offensive on many levels. It's unfair to the performers who probably have no recourse but quit or sing, unfair to those of us who like Idol, but don't want to hear this kind of music, unfair to christians who are pandered to in an effort to cash in on the christian dollars which will only go to Fox and production company etal. If you believe this is evidence of the network's or performers' christian leanings, think again. WWJD? Probably not sing on Idol. He's got some real work to do.

I am sorry to say this to you,but they were not preasurised into singing this stunning song.Also you might not like it but most people,christians and non christians liked it.Just listen to the applause at the end.And many christian songs are far better than popular songs, Of which most have no real meaning(usually boy girl love songs).But we sing songs because of the love that Jesus showed us on the cross.Praise the lord.Amen!
welshhedgehog1 3 years ago 2
Welshhegehog is right! it's ok for the idol to sing that song because we are all God's Creation., they sAng the Shout to the lORD whole heartedly,,...To God be the Glory for the talents that given them.. God bless us all...
Delight yourself unto the Lord and He will give you the desire's of your heart.

Little do you know that Jesus was working that night. WWJD? He would totaly have been there!!! Jesus, the angels and every true believer on this earth is excited that people on public TV acknowledged Him as Lord. Not very many people do present Jesus as Lord, but they did.
I know that Jesus is pleased with what they did and that they will rewarded. I know that they were not in it for money but to give praise to God. I only can pray that more christians will stand for Him in this way.

No, what I think it is, is that they
1)were running out of group songs
2)were trying to cater to the christian culture. they want more people from everywhere watching this show because they're ratings have fallen since they first began.
Besides there contestants that have been on the show are OBVIOUSLY not assciociated with Christianity. So, no, that is definitely not their message.
Have you ever watched the show before?

No, I was talking to someone else. They said:
"The message I get from this is if you want to be an "American" idol you have to be Christian. Hypocrisy anyone?"
And I was trying to tell them that not all the contestants (from every season and not just the top 10) were christians so they were not right in what they got out of this.
