Did anyone stay up and watch American Idol last night? With family in (Keri's parents) and Wednesday night bible class along with Adam and Aaron over playing Wii I did not catch Idol Gives Back but I did hear that the last song of the night was performed by the remaining 8 contestants and the song was, believe it or not SHOUT TO THE LORD. I did catch it this morning on youtube and thought they did a fantastic job singing the song. Was somewhat disappointed and a little annoyed but not surprised that they edited out "Jesus" and replaced his name with "Shepherd" but was still amazed that it was performed at all. It is significant though that Jesus does refer to himself as "the Good Shepherd"!
You can check out the performance at http://youtube.com/watch?v=zY8N5sdrEf8
BTW: In my opinion David Cook and Carly Smithson did an awesome job with the song. Who do you think will be the next American Idol? I am thinking it will be the other David (Archuleta) but will not be surprised or that disappointed if David Cook wins.
Roger, over and out!!!

I know, I know, you don't have to say it. It is pretty sad when you respond to your own blog but I just had to comment on American Idol again.
Another amazing thing happened Thursday night on AI. Wednesday night they closed with SHOUT TO THE LORD and Thursday night they opened with...drum role please...SHOUT TO THE LORD. And this time they sang the name of Jesus in the song instead of "Shepherd" as they performed the night before. Below is a youtube video of the song that opened the Thursday night show.

Wow!!! Two nights in a row.
2 questions:
Which version did you like best?
Was anyone else shocked that Michael Johns was voted off?
