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.
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
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 :)
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 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!!!
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
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!
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!
The previous show ran long so our DVR didn’t record it all. Therefore, we had no idea they ended it with Shout to the Lord. When this show began with Ryan announcing they were singing this song, my wife and I looked at other, jaws dropped. By the time they were done, we were in tears! Thanks to the producers for bucking trends, letting them sing this song twice, and correctly the second time!
@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!
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?
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!
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
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
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!
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.
@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!!
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!!!
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.
+Sorren Peak I feel that the lord has allowed you to go through certain things that many people cant neccesarily overcome because your calling in God has to do with taking hits for people which is something youd do gladly but I also felt that the lord has been taking you to another level of maturity so that the hits wont ever allow you to quit. God bless you
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!
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!
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!.
Even if half of those people are singing it just to sing it, what truly matters is that they sang this beautiful worship song and it still touches many hearts. Believer or not, the song has a powerful message attached!
maria sava Now a days, everyone is trying to remove God and Christianity from the world. Our own Government has turned against God, and they wonder why we are failing so miserably.
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.
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!!!!!!!
I remember when I first saw this and thought it was so awesome they were singing my favourite gospel song on secular television. Wouldn't have that in British programmes
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 yeah agreed so awesome just discovered this!! there is hope for America haha
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.
+Justin Zetzer Amen Amen amen amen.
+Justin Zetzer youre right. HE IS THE MIGHTY ONE.
Colton Dixon sang a Christian song as one of his idol performances
Thank you American Idol for letting them perform this song.
Sylvia Lyons I agree! Because of our Lord, they are blessed with the talent of singing!
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
Double thanks y'all
They changed the lyrics left out Jesus
@@ronvitug4641 jesus was the second word that they sung
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..

Miracle?
never expected this on american idol 😊👍🙏❤ With God anything is possible. 👏
takes real courage full respect
All things are possible to those who love God.
In the second season they sung “God Bless the USA” as well. Too bad no one sings any songs like that on network TV or cable anymore.
Nice! Just imagine how it will sound when all God's people sing His praise in Heaven :)
arianna schroeder AMEN PRAISE GOD
Amen! I can't wait!!!
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.

1OFGODSOWN amen!
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
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!

Yes! It is just amazing! Hope some people were moved by the Holy Spirit watching this.....
Every knee will bow, every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord
Just amazed they did this song....just heard for the first time...God is moving!!!
I remember watching this when it originally aired. It was my favorite performance from season 7. I got teary eyed seeing Michael Johns. RIP

.....alpha......not alfa just fyi :)

Awesome seeing someone on tv giving God His rightful glory, alleluia
amen from Indonesia
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!
Amazing. The fact they performed this TWICE on a populist prime time show. Wow!
The previous show ran long so our DVR didn’t record it all. Therefore, we had no idea they ended it with Shout to the Lord. When this show began with Ryan announcing they were singing this song, my wife and I looked at other, jaws dropped. By the time they were done, we were in tears! Thanks to the producers for bucking trends, letting them sing this song twice, and correctly the second time!
14 years ago but I still remember clearly. What a golden time
Every time I hear this I cry...praise the lord xxxxx
so me too meena everyone blessing with this song. i am from indonesia. i love Jesus/
This is what I love about American Idol, they let these kind of songs sung in their show. God bless you!
Excellent song! And although I watched this when it first aired, I'm still shocked that they actually performed this song! RIP to Michael Johns.
Really sad he died
Drew Inskeep how..?
@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!

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?
The best and most beautiful performance ever in this show! Jesus, he's not only my idol, he is my Friend, my Redeemer, my King!
Amen🙏
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!

...And now nobody wants to say even a single word "God" in any show or any media....gezz! how world has changed in last decade or so
Kamal Gurung the devil is loose
Yeah, but "REAL" saints don't bow! Daniel 3
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
I am lucky to have found this video because I think I missed this show. Very rare to hear praises to the Lord and Jesus in public television.
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
I still love so much that they did this.
Never thought I would hear this on American idol... But sure glad I did...For Great Is His Name In All The Earth.
7yrs ago and this is still so uplifting - David Cooks voice just stands out. Carley and Michael Johns
Every knee will bow...and Every tongue will confess you our God...Amen🙏🙏🙏
i love prasing to this song at church!
I cry every time, such a beautiful song.
Amazing that they sang this on American Idol! This would no way be done in England, this is brilliant :-)
This is my favorite season
It’s so nice to hear Christian music on American Idol. 👍👏👏
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!
i cant tell you what you are for me LORD. i love u the most . i sing for joy for the work of your hands... your promises means a lot to me.
I honestly never knew they did this song...I applaud them for it

This is the Top Song of American Idol group song ever! We love this always and forever!!
This really made me cry. I love the presence of the Lord.

If there's television in Heaven, we just had a peek at what it will be like!
Praise the wonderful name of Jesus forever!
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.
They would tbh yall just over exaggerate acting like everything you see is "woke" when its really not
I loved that season of contestants! :) And I wish there were more songs like this in the media today :(
This group of contestants were a tight-knit group. I remember seeing them interviewed together-on Larry King I think.
They sounded amazing. I love that they put that on television.
How did this make it on American Idol. I'm crying right now!
Jeh Jeh With improper clothing in the mid section! The new standard is the mid section!! NO
pitwalker - "let *everything* that has breath praise God..!"
What a beautiful worship song :)
I loved they sang this. I have this as my ring back. I have answered the phone to people crying saying they needed it.
@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.

My most favourite Christian song ever sung on one of my favourite shows by my favourite type of musicians.
We sing this song in church quite often. Beautiful song.
I remember this season but I never saw this performance! I'm so glad that something like this can still happen on tv! Love it!!!
Praise God! Absolutely beautiful!
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!!!

Originally composed by Hillsong in Sydney Australia... surreal seeing it here :)
Thank you Jesus! This group sings so beautiful
I'm not religious. But this song, any rendition of it, is beautiful.
+Sorren Peak try listening to the original song, Shout to the Lord by Hillsong 1996 :)
I have!
+Sorren Peak I feel that the lord has allowed you to go through certain things that many people cant neccesarily overcome because your calling in God has to do with taking hits for people which is something youd do gladly but I also felt that the lord has been taking you to another level of maturity so that the hits wont ever allow you to quit. God bless you
Olga Ruiz Okay, you're laying it on a little thick. I appreciate your thoughts, but I've allowed myself an open mind.
+Sorren Peak God loves you I hope you receive the gift of the holy Ghost God bless you
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!
Amen. Gospel is the greatest.
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!
Yes!! So true! Thank you for the refreshing reminder that there is no other god but the One True God who is over all!!!
