I like the song...but my wife and I found the performance unnerving.

I can't completely put my finger on why...it has to do with the fact that American Idol likely sees their "giving back" as a religious thing...I guess I saw it as more manipulative than anything. Of course, the fact they used a song worshipping the One True God is very telling...even unbelievers can tell their good works mean nothing apart from Christianity.

Sorry to be the downer, guys...pagans using a song like that seems to be demanding judgement (not from me) rather than something to rejoice over in and of itself.
