American Idol History



I've been inconsistently watching American Idol, but I did see the results of which singer would be cut. This time Matt Giraud was the one who received the least amount of votes. However, this year the judges could save the fate of one of the contestants by saving them from being cut. As Matt sang to seek favor from the judges, the judges huddled together and came to the historic conclusion that Matt would be saved. The crowd went wild- his friends went wild and swarmed him with overwhelming hugs.
Overexuberant joy was flowing in this place. Salvation- means to rescue or safety....There is salvation in no one else (Jesus); for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12...oh the joy that salvation brings...as David said- restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation...My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. As we saw there is joy in salvation in the TV- but think of the magnification of true salvation....and we don't have to perform for it, it's given to us as a free gift.
