What was interesting to me about this was that for Idol Gives Back the night before, when they sang this song, they took out "Jesus." I didn't understand why they'd take it out one night and put it back the next, but it ticked me off. I guess it's cool they sang it? But I got that uncomfortable feeling when people who don't believe sing spiritual songs--like Mariah Carey singing Christmas hymns. Ack.
did you read my blog on this?

Nice version. I agree with your comment though. Snoop Dogg and Shout to the Lord share the stage.

yeah...i was excited that they sang it...kind of...and i kind of had the creeps.
didn't seem to have much life...i think that's what it was. they were proclaiming a gospel that i wonder if they embrace.
i feel like it dilutes it a bit...
