Mandisa

Wednesday, March 29, 2006

I have to talk about about American Idol, and how AMAZING it was to see Mandisa stand up and do what she did. If you didn't watch it, Mandisa, a Born Again Christian, came out on stage and told everyone that despite their addictions, their lifestyle, and everything they're going through, GOD is bigger. Then she sang a song by the Christian group Mary, Mary, and worshiped the whole way through. Ladies and gentlemen, this gives me hope for the world.

I really didn't like the judge's comments last night. The way I see it, if Chris is a rocker, they're not going to object him singing rock songs. Kelly and Bucky are Country, and if they sing something with more twang than Larry the Cable Guy, they stand up and applaud them for "sticking to who they are". But if a born again Christian gets up there and sings a song based on who THEY are, then "it's not for them." I say Bravo Mandisa, and if you go out tonight, at least you'll go out in style!

Keep Lookin Up

    Hey Rudy!
    I was so impressed with Mandisa singing that song. I thought she rocked it! I, too, was discouraged with the judges comments. Neither of them have probably heard that song before and they don't realize just how popular it is, or how popular Christians are. Remember when the Canadian Idol judges didn't like it when Porter sang "I Can Only Imagine"? They said the same kind of thing and he won it all. Don't give up. God works in mysterious ways. I will be very surprised if she goes out tonight, because there was a lot of bad singing last night, and she was NOT one of them!
