Could Jesus Win American Idol?

As I watched the final episode of American Idol (I promise you that I didn’t watch the entire season), I could hardly see what the big deal was.  Who could hold a note, who could remember their lines and who was the best singer.  The show is not really about who the best singer is but it is really who can garner the most votes based on popularity.  Could anyone in the bible make it to the finale and let alone win it.  Maybe David.  Nope he was to short and pitchy.  What about Joseph? He may have done well but when they found out that he had a prison record, he had to bow out.  Possibly the Apostle Paul.  He’s a real scrapper. I would put him in the top three.  How would Jesus do?  First, would anyone even watch?  He might boost ratings a bit, but would they tune in each week or simply tune out February.

Secondly, the crowd was with Him one day and gone the next, and then back again.  To win A.I. you need people who are able to commit to casting a vote for you each week.  Finally, could He handle Simon Cowell?  If he could handle Pontius Pilate and Judas, He could probably handle Simon.  Could Jesus win?  To do it, Jesus needs you to tune in regularly and cast a vote.  Put on a “Jesus Rocks” or a “Crunk 4 Christ” t-shirt to show your support.  Then call all of your friends and have them vote for Jesus.  Even if they don’t like His style of music, just tell them to keep calling. At least the call is free!
