OlderAmerican Idol Performs “Shout to the Lord”
The American Idol “Final 8″ performed “Shout To the Lord” as its closing song Wednesday night during Idol Gives Back, a music celebration raising awareness and funds to benefit various U.S. and international charities. Here are some sample lyrics:
My Shepherd, My Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days, I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
“Shout to the Lord” is a popular worship anthem, written by singer/songwriter Darlene Zschech in 1993. However, the original lyrics start the song off with “My Jesus” but was replaced with “My Shepherd” for American Idol.

Fox’s ‘Idol Gives Back’ drops in ratings
By James Hibberd
April 10, 2008
Fox’s second annual “American Idol” charity fest “Idol Gives Back” dropped significantly from its debut last year.
Despite an all-star lineup that included performances by Mariah Carey, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna, Fergie and the promise of appearances by all three presidential candidates, the show was down 34% among adults 18-49 year-to-year.
Although the two-hour “Idol Gives Back” was Wednesday’s highest-rated program (17.6 million viewers and a 6.7 rating and 18 share), it marks the lowest rating for an “Idol” telecast since the 2005 “American Idol’s Worst Auditions” special. By comparison, “Idol” is down only 10% on Wednesdays in general this season.
Fox notes that last year’s “Gives Back” was advertised as a regular “Idol” result show — though viewers who tuned in were surprised to discover that the elimination was pushed to the next episode. This year’s episode was considered a special, with no elimination ceremony promised.
Like last year, however, there was still a surprise omission — the videotaped appearance messages by Sens. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John McCain will be held until Thursday’s results show.
Nonetheless, the telethon raised at least $22 million for charity Wednesday night, according to Billboard, thanks to a combination of corporate sponsors and viewer donations. Fox said this year’s final tally will be released later Thursday and will be higher than that amount. The event raised $76 million in 2007.
Also, critics were positive: “Pretty terrific musical performances” said Entertainment Weekly, “makes the (charity) message more appealing by toning down the transcendence and encouraging its celebrity endorsers to show their human sides,” said the Los Angeles Times, “the taped segments weren’t overly treacly, the music performances were entertaining, and the guest stars were A-list,” wrote Huffington Post, and “Carrie Underwood was underwhelming,” pointed out Star Tribune.
great. You can check more enlarged photos of them on the first blog page on a STD dating site ” stdpal.com”.
This is the best! Praise JESUS! All power to the name of the LORD. NOthing NOTHING compares to the promise I have IN YOU-JESUS! Thank you JESUS !
I am so happy that sung this. May the name of OUR LORD, THE LORD never be of ashame, but LET HIS Name be glorified FOREVER and EVER!
Prais GOD for JESUS
I’ll give them all BIRTH CONTROL.
That’s how I give back.
To Katrina victims too. Birth Control…..
Kristy Lee Cook was stunning. Perfect after following her super performance of “Anyway”
If Sayesha goes tonight (according to Tivo), or goes before Kristy or David A., I’m not watching anymore, because I couldn’t bear to continue watching the injustice.
I was way more excited to see the contestants from SYTYCD in the closing number. I was hoping they would dance but no. Just 7 more elminations until the show comes back on Yeah !!!
Wonderful praise & worship song. Praise Jesus!
That was simply beautiful.
The perfect ending,
because in the end thats all that is left.
Jesus and his love for us.
Why bring Jesus into a teen competition singing show? How bizarre. Also birth control is a luxury in places where you can’t have drinking water for miles. Think about it. Part of these charities is education, and services such as birth control to help the poor. And as my Grandma always said, never criticize the poor or a starving person. The minute you do, life hits you with an injustice ofo your own that is infinitely heavier than being poor. I truly believe this. So I stay away from criticizing an experience I can’t comprehend. There are starving kids in Korea, by the way, due to the brutal regime there. Kids in skin and bones. I hope the world looks at this problem too. We spend so much on Iraq and the war, it’s sad.
Praise Jesus for His mighty works!
NOTHING compares to the promise we have in Him.
the promise of Heaven should we repent of our wicked ways and acknowledge He is the ONE and only WAY, TRUTH, AND LIFE.
HALLELUJAH JESUS!!
they all did great and david archuleta was amazing and looked great as always.
MORE BIRTH CONTROL!!

soooooo pix/video or whatever??!!? sucks òó
Right on, CJ. Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Im pleasantly surprised they sang this song. I didnt think they would sing a christian song like this on the show, but I am so happy they did. Its a perfect ending to a great night. It made me cry.
GREAT,SWEET SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The song, the show and to top it off the Jesus freaks comments. Praise the Lord? Give me a break, you’re so pathetic like it’s a team sport, they sang a song about Jesus woohoo! What if they sang about some other God or belief? You wouldn’t handle it and would ban the show.
The kids in Appalachia without food or books to read in Kentucky: wow, how sad and tragic. How could anyone live like that? This is America! Those kids looked hungry! Appalachia has been like this for generations and generations. Someone help! I gave money.
i grew up listening to that worship song, never did i think it’d have its moment in mainstream media. strange!
Holy Moses!!!
Not once but twice now they sing a Christian song!!! Stunning for a FOX show…unbelievable. But two thumbs up for FOX for havin the guts to do that.
