But why would it be wrong for a Christian to win and then be an example in the music field? That area of entertainment definitely needs some Christian influence.

No offense, but American Idol is not the place for that. They don't want it and it is like casting your pearls before the swine. That is a wordly show and God is not in it.

How is it witnessing if you aren't singing about the Gospel? That's like saying that talking to your neighbour about football is witnessing. Nah, you might be making a friend, which could lead to later evangelism, but talking about football isn't sharing the Gospel. Not in my opinion, inny waze.

Coming from the perspective of a singer/musician, I always want to just ask, "Why?"

I agree!

I have seen a couple of clips of the show. Something that majorly bothers me is how many of them are raising their hands and the crowd is raising their hands to these people. I just couldn't shake it when I saw it. I thought, "My God, I am sure that really bothers you," I am sure many of them grew up singing in church. You can hear it in some of their voices, and now they're using their talents for the world...........Okay okay, I'm too conservative now, but that is too much for me. They call it american idol because it is idolotry. Now matter how innocent we try to see it, it's idolotry. that's just me.
