On a similar note, can we know that the Cyrus girl is absolutely not a Christian? She's pretty young (15) and has plenty of time to grow (or not). Her dad has her in this line of work after all.

I knew that was coming, I hae to go to the site to remember their names...hold on....

Brooke White
David Archuleta
Jason Castro
Kristy Lee Cook
Syesha Mercado

I am not sure any of them are or are not but I am not going to insist they aren't unless I have more to base it on than being on American Idol. Past contestant Mandeesa is up for a Grammy for her gospel album "True Beauty"

They sure do sway a lot to the music in a very erotic and sexual way...

Another example of CCM mimicking the world....

I know! That penguin waddling was soooooooooooooooo sexual! And the immodesty of those choir robes!

Seriously, Michael. Forgive the sarcasm, please. But just because their "swaying" (I call it waddling) appears "sexual" to you, doesn't mean it is to everyone else.

If I was joking I would have winked or smiled.......

I found the whole swaying of the hips to be typical of the music and of the beat and very erotic and sensual...

Thanks for clarifying, but I couldn't disagree more. I'm not going to defend all things American Idol, but the show is generally pretty "clean," and I didn't see anything at all sexual or erotic in that performance. In fact, I've seen more "hip swaying," cleavage, and shorter skirts in conservative Bible Belt churches on Sunday morning.

Many of you could never be house parents (lol), not that any of you have said you wanted to be, but if you were I believe you might faint the first day on the job.

lol

Same thing for being a minister. Maybe some of us should move to Saudi Arabia.

I'm offended! I can't believe you'd say that *faint*

I have been impressed with the attitude and demeanor of David Archuleta. I was not sure if he is a Christian, but had assumed because he lived in Salt Lake City with his family he may be Mormon. Brooke had expressed strong religious convictions in her audition and Simon kind of gave her a hard time. There have been a number of professing Christians on Am. Idol. I thought the performance of Shout to the Lord was much better on Wednesday because the contestants were all dressed very nice, than last night. I thought they did a nice job on the song and I like that song, but I have a difficult time listening to it with the way some of them were dressed and watching it as more of a performance than a song of praise.

Exactly. Most of what passes for worship in those churches is more like a rock concert and that is certainly idolatry. That is why worship is to be regulated according to the word and not according to our own sensual desires.

Archuleta is just down the road from us.

I have to admit I'm impressed with the kid.

I don't know about Archuleta, but Brooke White is definitely Mormon.

Now I don't feel bad for thinking that! Thanks Fred.

I will go you one step crazier than praising God on commercial television.
I would do it to an adulter or a prostitute.
If Oprah is going to throw down her snake you better be ready to throw down one that can eat it every chance you get.

I don't know if I'm happy about them singing Shout to the Lord, but if it was Holy, Holy, Holy... on

I read they were Christian somewhere, but in our society Mormons have worked their way into that "perception".
