It is very soothing. I could listen to him sing all day and never tire of it. My nephew knows him from A&M, and his comment about Jason was, "He's very humble." I can see that. Maybe, that's part of the reason I like him so much. It is exciting that Jesus' name has been sung about so much this season! And to hear "Shout to the Lord" two nights in a row!

(Isa 30:11) Well, we really need to pray for him because it is obvious he is under a little conviction. He never "gets it" but with our prayers, maybe he will get Him. I was cheering like crazy for Jason last night for boasting in Jesus through Dolly's great song, Travelin' Thru. My top three, the Davids and Jason. Brook is 4th for me tonight. Jesus is the party!!!

Has been since Hollywood week. Maybe even before. He is just so adorable and that voice! Even when he doesn't have his best performances, his voice just mesmerizes me! And I heart Brooke too. So natural. And Michael Johns is one of my favorites mainly because of that accent (and he's got a voice when he picks the right song). Ok, that's enough. Oh, and of course I like Jason mainly because he sings Christian songs at times and he's an Aggie. :) Ok, now I'm done. :)Amy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142898730112090580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-12737352128404606862008-04-02T14:15:00.000-05:002008-04-02T14:15:00.000-05:00Loved your assessment of last night's show.

I groused the whole time becuase I don't like Dolly or any of her music (perhaps i should re-think that opinion since a majority of the opinions here are positive toward her--maybe I can't get past all the FAKE stuff for the substance?) Anyway, I hate it when they pick such a limiting theme then criticize the singers for song choice. Regardless... I loved David A, David C, and Jason. Brooke is still my favorite female- so real, so beautiful. I thought Carly did a good job too and agree with all on her choice of attire (how much of her tats do I need to see each week?)
