  • I know you all and you're going to agree with me. This version of 'Shout to the Lord' goes well with the National Anthems sung at the grand finale shows of the UEFA Champions League, UEFA European Championships and the FIFA World Cup judging by how this was performed. This is also done with the National Anthems of any Closing Ceremonies of any Olympic Games with the Greece flag (Olympics birthplace), flag of host nation and flag of host nation of next games.

  • they changed the lyrics, its suppose to be my JESUS, not my shepherd, :))

  • @makdevilla They said Lord but they didn't say "Jesus". Yeah I don't get it either. I guess it's so no one will be offended.

  • Comment removed

  • Kinda disappointed that they took of Jesus' name in the beginning.. they didn't in their first performance. anyways, great performance.

  • It is amazing that they aloud this on american Idol. God has the power to break through anything. I love this I love this I love this I love this.

  • love it but for shua the other one they sang is better and correct version.. Still love it.

  • OMG....what a wonderfull song but they change it into a terrible one...why they change that song? :(

  • "Jesus" is in this version

  • Just one correction, although a BIG one: IT'S JESUS, NOT SHEPHERD.

  • Jesus the alpha and the omega is the real american idol

  • Perhaps.....they just didn't want to mention it as it was watched by millions of people around the world. But if all the people were listening to it with their heart not with their ears nor watching it with their eyes, they would have known......Praise to the Lord in the Highest

  • Not!!!!

  • 17 people hate American Idol

  • They changed the words to exclude His Name, Jesus, taking away the power of, and making this song about them alone for the sake of popularity and simple entertainment.

  • all you who criticise - let's see you do better then!..i.e. do the work, get the exposure to sing before millions -

    ever heard of links in a chain to faith?

    Or do you just believe in beating people heavy?

    That's not 'faith expressing itself *through love*' [find that verse in the N.T. and see how important that is] ..

    some people, even in these comments - have faith, but it's the immature faith of young inexperienced Christians - it hasn't become filled with love.

  • You know, there is no anointing. :D Well, they were singing but not leading people to worship.

  • Wow...nice to see God's love being shared with many...Amen!

  • It's a shame that Jesus has been denied entry, honour and praise. Jesus said: "If anyone denies Me, so shall My Father in Heaven deny him........." Besides, why should a Christ-honouring song be on American Idol, when God isn't into Idol-worshiping? Next time, if Jesus isn't given entry, BACK out from the "deal"! It's not worth losing your soul over IDOL-worship!........ Christians, be true to Jesus!

  • Dont do this at home/church

    this is just PERFORMANCE not worship (SAD)

    not like this???

  • ani ba yan??? pagandahan ng BOSES?

    are they worshipping the LORD??????? they are worshipping their OWN VOICE]

    that's not real worship

  • ITS NOT SHEPHERD ITS JESUS!!

  • some people are just too quick to judge, CENSOR is a word misused to describe this. Please be considerate, American Idol has a worldwide audience and the world does not revolve around the Christians. How would you feel if a song praising Allah or Brahma or even Buddha is sung on a famous tv show like AI? Grow up guys. Jesus understands this, He is not selfish.

  • @mfdra76 It's not a case of "Jesus understands.....". It's putting down the name of Christ, the Lord, King and the God of Glory, the future JUDGE of mankind at the end of time. Besides, this song was ORIGINALLY composed to glory Jesus, to worship Jesus, and not some other "diety" I hope the singers are NOT onto IDOL-worshiping, in the name of "Jesus understands"...... Those who bear the Name of Christ must know how to be true to Christ.

  • yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • lord is Jesus , yes He is !

  • Those people all denied the lord on national TV that's not good. If you denied Jesus he will turn away from you.

  • Praise the Lord indeed. :')

  • IT IS JESUS ! - We are not ashamed to say His name ! -I am not ashamed to say His name ! I love you God X -England

  • IT REALLY MADE ME MAD THAT THEY DIDNT SAY JESUS...

  • These contestants should sing more Christian songs.

  • they censor it because they want to be more like universe????,, maybee

  • Gee. Maybe they censored the word Jesus so that other religions might not feel too ignored or left behind?

    Anyway, Carly killed it. I was very sa to see her go at the Top 6. Oh well... at the top of her game, I guess.

  • David Cook woot woot! <3 Best season ever

  • Beautiful. :D

    I trust, believe and have faith in the Lord Our God and Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I have accepted Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior into My heart as My Lord and Savior and I know I'm forgiven through Him and His Sacrifice on The Cross at Calvary in Israel.

    Thank You My Lord God The Father and My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. :D

  • Beautiful.

  • :'D

  • This shows how powerful the name of Jesus really is. There's something about that name!

  • I'm with you lousten27 with your comment about censor JESUS name. Is really sad just to see how can some people do such a thing about forgetting that with out JESUS we are nothing...God bless every single one out there!!!! By the way my respects to everybody here.

  • The first time they sang it, the day before, they said "Jesus." That video is also on youtube. I wonder why they changed it....if someone said something?

  • @carolineodessa Actually, I watched this back when it was first aired, and this was the FIRST time they sang this song, and used Sheppard...But the next day on the elimination episode they added "Jesus" into the song because of complaints from a lot of people, and out of respect they performed it again with the correct lyrics.

  • very impressive... 100 thumbs up!!

  • my shepherd? really? LOL. so were they like afraid to mention Jesus? gotta wonder whether they care more about what other people think of them than what Jesus thinks. I wonder what would've happened had Jesus cared more about what the Pharisees think than the salvation which we received through His death on the cross.

  • @rez787 big networks usually don't allow the words "Jesus" or "Allah" and other words pertaining to a certain religion. im not sure why. it's probably a business decision with the goal of not losing viewers from the other religions. :)

  • @rez787 maybe they sang it like that, rather than not at all, because they DIDN'T care about the Pharisees!!

  • i love you GOD:)

  • Are those Hebrew subtitles?

  • ngau this is too GOOD , im pretty blessd to hear a christian song on AMERICAN IDOL , farrout,

    PRAISE HIS NAME

  • my sheppard...my savior...are you kidding me? I would have quit the show if they would have mede me sing that line!

  • @pillsburysbest why?

  • @pillsburysbest you'lle see. one day that this is the truth :) It's not an opinion, but it's the truth.

  • @pillsburysbest its your choice on what u want to say and think but you shouldnt make fun of other peoples stuff just because your either 1. not completely with the lord or 2. dont believe in him. its a song of praise to the lord.., whether you like it or its in it.

  • @pillsburysbest They didn't want people to be "offended" and I am like really?! Lord and Jesus is the same thing. "Shout to the Shepard"...anyway I honestly think if people (non Christians) were offended by that...they would quite watching the show..I honestly thing God would put more people watching the show if they said "Jesus" than people quite watching the show. I wouldn't have quit but just disagreed. (If all that makes sense)

  • The best song ever sung on that show!

  • ITS JESUS!!!

  • wow my shepherd?

  • david cook is a christian... :)

  • sddfdf

  • lmao..the world..just like they substituted the name Yahweh for GOD or LORD......why take Jesus out?

  • David Cook is a tenor God's choir

  • OMG!!! They omitted JESUS!!! I'm so through!! smh

  • i hope they really meant what they sung...

  • @carl09052410051

    I hope they do too. I know that if I were singing with them, meaning would follow.

  • @carl09052410051 well, David A. did at least... considering...

  • Let's not "offend" anyone by substituting the name Jesus for another word, but let's build a  mosque near ground zero so that we won't...offend...oh wait...

    :-)

  • @randyjsing lol because we don't want anyone to mistake this for being a Christian song or anything.., :P

  • will you people chill out about the word Jesus? seriously, it's just a song. and if it really bugs you so much then think jesus every time they say shepherd.

  • The word is not shepherd, its JESUS - you censor His name now, it won't be censored when every knee bows and every tongue confesses!

  • @lousten27 That is right!!! The word is JESUS and I don't think should be replaced by shepherd just because of the media. However, if you want to enjoy this song and feel the anointing that comes with it, check out the version by Women of faith or Hillsong. God bless you all and Jesus Christ Loves you!

  • @lousten27 THAT JESUS IS LORD

  • @lousten2& wow! they didn't say Jesus. Big mistake

  • @tommy2chips They originally did sing Jesus and then they made them sing it over and cut it out. It's ridiculous.

  • @lousten27 AMEN!!!

  • @lousten27 PREACH!

  • @lousten27

    If you knew what you were talking about you'd know that the very next night they ang the song again with the proper lyric.

  • wow, do they know they're actually praising God?? I love this!

  • Best season ever. :)

  • wait a second ! it's beautiful but...where's the word Jesus ? isn't it the target of adoration of such lovely song ?

  • Why couldn't they say JESUS?

  • Why couldn't they use Jesus? Who would it offend? As people and Christians, we should be proud of our faith!

  • My Jesus, My Saviour, I am nothing without you

  • My Jesus, My Savior,

    Lord, there is none like You;

    All of my days

    I want to praise

    The wonders of Your mighty love.

    lyrics by Chris Tomlin

  • love how this broadcast is from Israel

  • Jesus is King

  • God bless you all! Nothing really compares to the promise i have in You O Lord.=) Glory to you in the most high.

  • Why did they eliminate "Jesus" from the first refrain? Who does it offend? This song was written about the power ofJesus and God & Holy Spirit. Why was HIS name removed? NOT Good. We are not following the right course if the name of Jesus has to be removed from a song....shame on us again.

  • I've never heard Godpel on Idols before this was truly a blessed moment "Baruch haba beshem adonai"

  • gave me chills, but nothing like the first time they sang that!

  • this song gives me chills. it is a beautiful song and they sing it amazingly.

  • Praise God! amazing message!

  • "Praise God!"

  • Comment removed

  • wait. why was american idol singing shout to the Lord??

  • @Michikio808Sunshine Why Not ?

  • @notesfromheaven03

    im not against it or anything i think it sounds pretty with them singing but what was the occasion that they decided to sing it.

  • @Michikio808Sunshine i dont understand this song. a great song but for idol and tv???ignorance. the world is comprised of many different types of people believing in various religions so for this song to be on tv is simply ridiculus

  • Every knee will bow and every tongue confess...this includes those watching American Idol.

  • These guys are professional. At first glance, its hard to tell the difference between this performance and the performance where they sing Jesus' name. While I love their more emotional performance, I have to give a thumbs up to the performers for preaching the Lord and carrying on. Even without Jesus' name, none else has ever been given the titles Jesus has. Jesus' name is written into every word of song.

  • They need to do more songs like this one on the show. :\

  • Wonder how that went over in Israel!

  • Matthew 10:32-33 (Good News Translation)

    -32 Those who declare publicly that they belong to me, I will do the same for them before my Father in heaven.33 But those who reject me publicly, I will reject before my Father in heaven. JESUS said..

  • if that is not God working in this i don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I noticed in the first take, they said Jesus, then in this one they replaced it with "Shepherd", but we all know who the Shepherd is! Since they couldn't say it, I will....JESUS! Every knee will soon recognize Him.

  • This made me cry when they sung this at american idol i was shocked they did it and did you notice david cook get really into it so beautiful

  • amen to that bjmccrary08!!!!!!!

  • so true, the name of jesus cannot be replaced in this song it still screams his name. the first performance they done with the name of jesus init actually sounds better. thats what happens wen you replace jesus!!!!! dont do it

  • this one is not near as powerful as the first time they did it

  • this is a serious question

    who believe's in god and heaven

    but is still scared of death

    i am

  • @ZandJproductionz When you give your life to Jesus you will overcome death, death no longer has its sting because Jesus has overcome it for you, he will give you eternal life, not because you/we deserve it, but because he is an amazing God

  • @ZandJproductionz Then what assurance do you have that you have come to know him? The Bible tells us to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith. Go to 1 John and see if you pass the tests,I can also send you some sermons about assurance if you will. Please, there is nothing more important then where you will spend eternity.It is not enough to have all the facts right, we must repent and trust alone in Jesus Christ.

    May God bless you.

  • @GodLovesUs100 this is a serious question

    but what do you think heaven will be like, because if you are there for eternity

    then won't you get bored, i just can't grasp my head round eternity

    don't get me wrong i am a christian an go to church but reincarnation makes more sense

    please i need help if am gonna over come this idea

  • @ZandJproductionz Well first thing I would say to you to is to test and see if you are a true Christian or not.If the Lord has truly saved and caused you to be born again.Going to church will not save anybody. But no, Heaven will not be boring because God is there,heaven is not heaven because streets of gold and pearly gates, but because God is there and we will forever be in his awesome presence.

  • @ZandJproductionz Reincarnation simply means that once you die you're born into something else, the idea that the world does not end. But as a Christian, God wants you to understand that He's coming back and that you will be remade into something new, we will have new bodies as we reign on earth with Him, we'll be perfect spirits praising Him in Heaven, would you rather think of eternity with God or eternity with this world, which is slowly fading away and full of darkness?

  • @ZandJproductionz maybe not scared of death, but scared of dying.I'm not afraid of what happens after I die, just while I'm dying. I am getting better at letting those fears go.Reading my word every day helps a lot!!!

  • They called him the shepered in this one another name of Jesus Christ...i love how they did it too.lol

  • @milwifenumb1 no...just like the bible translators removed Yahweh and replaced it with LORD or GOD....

  • wow, they were holding back so much..hahaha PRAISE HIMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

  • Hope everyone of you were blessed by this song, believers or non-believers, all I can say is that, Jesus LOVES you. Everyone, even those who refuse to believe in him, prosecute him or whatever...He still loves you no matter what..

    (If you knew the song, they actually sang the 2nd verse...

    They only sing a Verse 2, Chorus, verse 3 and repeat the chorus...

    So if you knew that they sang this previously, all the Savior and You and Him are all refering to Jesus our Lord Savior.)

  • Im glad they changed the lyrics , they did awesome !

  • EVERY CHRISTIAN LISTEN.

    There wanst a mention of JESUS in the lyrics of this song, this is not to glorify God at all. Thy've altered it deliberately meaning this song couls be glorifying anything/anyone they see as Superior! i.e Satan!

    DO NOT BE DECEIVED, THEIR MOTIVE IS CORRUPT!

  • @tychellz No, there isnt a mention of Jesus in this one. But if you listen to the first time the top 8 sang it. 'Jesus' is the second word in the song... so yes, everyone knows who they are really singing about.

  • @tychellz YES THERE WAS! "My Jesus..." it's just not the full version! try looking it up (THE FULL VERSION)!

  • @expiredbread look at the lyrics..the name Jesus was substituted with the name Shepherd..i looked it up..

    My Jesus, My Savior,

    Lord, there is none like You;

    All of my days

    I want to praise

    The wonders of Your mighty love.

  • @MrBrotherLou wait, what were you trying to say in your other comment?

  • @expiredbread when you buy NO NAME BRAND products ........that is the same as saying the song about "god" is still about Jesus..............for believers it is..but for unbelievers they just substitute whatever god they want to think about.....but if they HAVE TO ATTRIBUTE THESE WORDS TO JESUS at least it will make them stop and think. I am not trying to be negative towards you.....I AM disappointed that they did that to the song..........and many believers do not have spiritual discernment

  • CARLEY smahed it :D

  • Our mighty Lord always makes a way to communicate with us... American Idol is a good channel of conveying our praise through singing...powerful voices! so good! hair raising!

  • Thank you for posting this.....One of my new favorite praise songs..... It could give anyone strength..... to do what they need to do in God's world.....we all need thi strength.......we all need to praise our wonderful God!!! Marvelous!

  • Never mind if 'Jesus ' is omitted...the whole world knows what was being sung...

  • Never mind if 'jesus ' is omitted...the whole world knows what was being sung...

  • Jesus reigns...................

  • @crloibl amen!!!!!! this song is so beautiful and I love this song so much. JESUS JESUS JESUS, NO SWEETER NAME!!!!!!! HE IS THE REASON FOR LIVING AND THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. I OWE IT ALL TO HIM!!! AND I AM SO GLAD HE SAVED MY SOUL!!!!! TO HIM BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOREVER, AND EVER!!!

  • I don't like this version as much as the org. just goes to prove there is power in the name of Jesus! why else do people get offended when the name of Jesus is used...you can saw Lord, and God but if you say Jesus it's offensive...

    MY JESUS...MY SAVIOR...SHOUT TO THE LORD...even if we shut our mouths the rocks will cry out!!!!

  • they still say the most important part of the song because its the title of the song. SHOUT TO THE LORD

  • JESÚS, JESUS, JESU, YESHUA The lamb of GOD Is HIS name and One day every knee shall bow down to this name.

  • Comment removed

  • Every knee will bow and everything tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.

  • There's just something about this name "JESUS" Love you Father....

  • they did say Jesus in one of the renditions! Amen to that:)

  • Must be something in that Name if they have it omitted, don't you agree?

  • I hope it got through to those singing this awesome song!

  • Me encantaaa!! Dios eres lo maximooo!!

  • SOMEBODY WITH CLOUT IS A BELIEVER!!! PRAISE GOD!

  • Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the LORD of Lords, has blessed us mightily so we can be a mighty blessing to others. Praise on!!!

  • (Luke 1:16 KJV) "And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God."

    (Luke 1:17 KJV) "And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

    

  • they change My Jesus to My shepherd....

  • why are they singing a religious song on american idol??

  • @blue6seven34 > Why not?

  • @rfgstl

    well for me personally, i like the show alot..but i'd rather not hear religious music....

  • @blue6seven34 Me too, however, this is a great song...

  • @blue6seven34 thats how it should be and i hope it continues and the hole nation of american will shout to the lord and declare jesus king . .

  • @blue6seven34 BECAUSE JESUS IS LORD AND THE REAL "AMERICAN IDOL!"

  • again, david cook just smashed that song out of the park, he is AMAZING!

  • I do not know if they really accept God in their life,you knew if there was an audience that is a Christian,someone would worship God and raise both hands.

  • Awesome song!

  • WHERE IS MY JESUS?? THEY SING MY SHEPERED..

  • @hillsongfree they sang "My Jesus" in another one... but maybe they chose to change it... i thought it sounded weird. other than that, i love this song :)

  • @westlife4life they must not reject the name of Jesus.. because that song is not worldly song this is song for God.

  • @hillsongfree I have nothing against "my Jesus" I wish they did say His name. Yes I agree, if they are going to sing Shout to the Lord, they should sing it to glorify God and not just for the sake of singing it.

  • Dats chilling!!! Love it

  • God loves all of His creations.. after-all He gave them the gift of voice .. they sound wonderful.. May they continue sharing the message of Jesus.. yessss!

  • Great. Just Great.
