So “American Idol” basically turned into a full-on worship night with its “Songs of Faith” episode — people singing about Jesus, praying, and even lifting their hands on stage. One contestant said it straight: it felt like a “full-on worship service.”
Ryan Seacrest said, “I think I felt the Holy Spirit,” while Carrie Underwood praised the show for being bold, saying it’s “not easy” to do this on such a big platform.
For many contestants, it was deeply personal — “My faith is the only thing that has kept me,” one said, while others talked about healing, gratitude, and wanting to “sing about Jesus” in front of the world.
