When Mandisa thanked Jesus on the t.v. i was like spazzing. HECK YES! JESUS YOUR AMAZING! lol. I mean, whats the big deal with telling people you love Jesus and showing it? People care way too much about what people think then what God thinks. GOD YOU ARE AWESOME AND I HEART YOU SOO MUCH!! I mean people are out there freaking out that Mandisa said that on t.v. but i dont see anyone talking about Katherine when she was down in the bottom 3 one night she said on t.v. that whatever happens is God's plan for her so shes happy with it. I dont see people saying stuff about her for saying that. I mean its true. :) I love Jesus. Hes so great. If you dont know him, you should consider it. Your life would change so much with him with you. You'll be happier and its nice knowing that someone loves you and is just a prayer away.

He currently is working on his second album to be released this summer. He's been relatively successful in the country music industry. Actually, Josh Gracin from Season 2 was a marine.

Thus, when I read the explicitly Christian statements in the "who would you thank first" section, by Heather and Stevie - "my personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ" and "my Savior, Jesus Christ", respectively - I was positively ecstatic. Hence, why I wanted to know exactly what it was that Gedeon said. Though I must say, his "I will first thank GOD ALMIGHTY!" is pretty powerful in regards to making me wonder. ;) It's too bad that we couldn't get an interviewer in there, to ask them about their faith and their walk with the Lord and what He has done in their lives, eh?

I'm sure Gideon is one of the several who would thank God if they won American Idol. It's quite amazing!

Were you watching the episode on Thursday, March 9th, when Gedeon was eliminated? It was so quick, and the crowd was making a lot of noise at the time - but I could have sworn that I picked up on the words "Jesus Christ" and "saved" in the sentence Gedeon said. However, I didn't catch all of it. Did anyone here catch what he said? He had such an exuberant personality. I'm just curious. :) All right, so on their website this year, there were two or three contestants who outright professed a personal faith in Jesus Christ – Heather and Stevie are the two that come immediately to mind – but I have a question.
