so cool that this happened. I never thought American Idol would have Christian music. I know that was back in 2008 but still that was cool. And that song is the bomb
Arthur DeStefano I always like watching this. Just reminds you, that even those who choose not to follow Christ and obey God will still bow in the end. Every tongue will confess that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Lord to the glory of God.
Thx My Lord Jesus, before I accept You as my Saviour I was a Moslem, but now I realized who really and truly the Son of God.. How lucky I'm become Christian right now :)
Thank you Jesus for dieing on the cross for my sins in my place so I could get saved and go to heaven and he can save others to all they have to do is ask for him to save them
Imagine if this was on TV today in 2018. I can just hear the outcry even thinking about that. Sad how much we've changed in 10 years. May we always glorify the Lord and never be afraid to do so. Shout to the Lord, all the earth, let us sing!
Watching this after 12-13 years since this was first posted. Wow. Still can't believe that this song was performed and aired! An absolute miracle. Go David!
I totally agree best song ever I just can't stop smiling listening to this song. To know that Jesus's name is being broadcasted to an ungodly world. To share His beautiful name its wonderful
I long to sing to Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit with all of my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus and with all of the beautiful angels. It will be so amazing, and the most beautiful moment in all of existence for us. To sing before God in His entirety while being able to look upon His beautiful face and hear Him with our own ears!!! Please come take us home quickly Lord. I look forward to being free of this sin filled world and home with Him for eternity!!!
Every knee shall bow…. Jesus is the name above all names!!!! I have watched this on repeat and still amazed they did this on such a secular platform. Amazing!
Just listened to this again for the umpteenth time since it came out in 2008. Still brings a lump to my throat. Nothing compares to the promise we have in Him!
Look at how happy, and peaceful everyone is when they sing a christian song! This is why it is good! It brings out your voice, because they are pretty hard songs to sing, and they bring people together! PRAISE BE TO THE LORD!
@bishop kirby clements clements the God that I serve wouldn't require me to pay a price for deliverance. That price was paid by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. I rebuke you and your deceptive operation in the name of Jesus!
Still in 2023, for me, this performance was the most emotional one. Hope all contestants, judges, musicians, audiance, who are of any part related to this show and the ones organizing this contest are blessed and are doing great
WHAT A WONDERFUL SONG AND PERFORMANCE, AND PRAISE TO THE LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF KINGS! I saw some people disagreed and disliked the Lord to be praised here, but you know what, Jesus said to the people on the way entering Jerusalem that: If the people stop praising Him, the rocks on roads will sing to praise Him...NOTHING can stop Him to be glorified and praised! I am so thankful that Jesus is ALWAYS in control...because He is our Creator and truly THERES NONE LIKE HIM!
Wow. So back in 1993 I was at a preliminary choir rehearsal for a Hillsong concert. I was sitting in the room with about 30 or 40 other people and Darlene walks in and says “alright guys I just wrote this new song, I’ve never played it to anyone. But we’re gonna do it at the next conference”. The song was Shout to The Lord. 27 years later I accidentally stumbled on this video and I’m absolutely gobsmacked that spirit filled music made it to the American Idol stage.
Pardon my French. But that's absolutely fucking amazing. I'm so glad you could have such a cool experience back when I was just a year old!!:) I've loved the song ever since y'all rehearsed and perfected it! Thank you so so much! Which part did you play or sing I guess I should say?
They wouldn't dare do this today. Everyone would freak out. This video has been in my favorites for years and I'm so glad this crew had the opportunity to sing this for the world to hear.
Watching in 2019 - O Lord God have mercy on our nations! In just the space of a decade, so much perversion and godlessness and darkness has taken over! Help us to stand strong for You Lord Jesus and to never be ashamed of Your Gospel of Truth!🙏🏾🙏🏾
The Lord Jesus is coming back. It’s only going to get worse til He comes back. After the Church is taken up, total chaos. what’s coming is terrible for unbelievers and believers who aren’t prepared.
I never saw this performance but sure is good seeing them up there singing praise to God. Every knee well bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord! Shout it out!
That is one of my favorite songs we do in my church. Shivers up my spine & it's so powerful it drives me to tears every time. WOW! Great job American Idol!.
praise GOD... Thank you all the participants may the good Lord bless you never give up... I truly belive there is a great reward from heavenly FATHER for those people like you amen.
I blame the democrats they don't respect conservatives, meanwhile we accept their ways with respect, they condemn us for having faith in God meanwhile we have to respect them just because it would be politically wrong of us. the democrats have been in power to long they've destroyed the principles the country was founded on thank God a republican conservative is the president means we can live in peace and harmony again
JK-Studios I'm both Democrat and Christian. I've also seen multipul conservatives being rude to liberals. Don't blame Democrats for this, although I do agree some may have influenced the insfustry severely
@Caylin, I don't think it's fair to say that "it meant nothing more than a song to them". Yes, that's probably true of a few of them, but I saw a lot of genuineness in most of these singers, certainly David Archuleta. This was powerful to see on international TV. Wish we could see this sort of thing more often. The Gospel of Christ is so often just swept under the rug and replaced with raunchy stuff.
As a choir member for 25 years...this song has always been one of my favorites...True worship to our mighty God and a powerful anointing...King of Kings and Lord of Lords..thank youJesus!!
How lucky I am that He has chosen me to be His child. I am proud to say the mighty one is my father and I am His child. My journey from Idol worship to serving Living One. Shalom love from India
Best performance in American Idol history!!!!!!! I was watching it on TV that night singing with them with my hands raised worshipping God!!!!!! God Bless America!!!!!!!
Thank you Lord for providing such wonderful youth to praise you, if only more youngsters would inject then self with love for your my Lord, You Lord are the lifesaving drug.
i must admit that each time i hear this song my heart fills up with joy. I can image the joy that You my lord will endur, when you see, hear, such music , the very talent You my lord that have permit these youth to show your greatness to all those that want to trust and beleve in You. Bless these youths ,and protect them help them to keep going in the path that you have showed them.
This is amazing! I was listening to some christian songs and then I ended up seeing this which is really unexpected! I never thought that they would do Christian song. Aweeeesome!!!
Wow, I'm amazed, great song, Jesus even gets a little glory out of it on national TV, that's almost a miracle the way TV and the world has got these days, I could feel goose bumps while they were singing. Praise God is all I got to say.
When the light of this world is brought forth in praise, whether in song or in the spoken word, the followers of darkness rise forth trying in vain to stop it. They cannot and they know time is running out. Soon, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord over all! Praise God!!!!
