Many comments [in the States] were passed on the rendition of an all time favourite Christian worship song "Shout To The Lord" in American Idol two weekends ago. Why allowed in a national TV? Why not? Many concluded it was to attract the evangelical votes (like US Presidency campaign??) etc etc.
(Original song was by Hillsong Australia)
To me, it's all positivity and no negativity. Hahaha, [biased maybe, I'm a believer of Jesus!] cause I can't vote anyhow if that's the whole motive in the first place.
A popular American show is highly influential, I think more Malaysians watch American Idol or Hero more than local production Ghost! Be it lack of quality or brain, our ppl just have too much expression limitation that cripples our creativity most of the time. If our Board of Censorship knew better [of this special performance], my guess is they might have "deleted" the whole song fearing it may be imposed on our naive mind. So, it was very REFRESHING to watch this on our national tv. I believe many of our "protected" brethrens who watched AI were feeling "liberated" for awhile to hear a Christian song without feeling any guilt or shame. Heck, it could be just another feel-good song to them..
Anyway, I enjoy this season AI very very much. For the first time, I actually think all of them worth their spot there. I'm so entertained I hope none of them have to be eliminated!
To view this highly controversial (in US) rendition again (ENJOY!!):
My Jesus, My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days
I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My Comfort, My Shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath
And all that I am
Never cease to worship You
Shout to the Lord
All the earth
Let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your Name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I'll love you
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You
