No, no... the finale of tonight's Idol Gives Back episode.

Not that I've SEEN it... but I'm gathering from her title that this song was sung.

Yup, you interpreted correctly. Not only was it amazing that it was sung, the vocals were excellent, and it was so ... appropriate ... after a show (Idol Gives Back) that was all about caring for the widows and orphans and needy.

Stink butt! I didn't watch tonight.

It is in such a strange context on AI. It's not really "testimony," like you said ... I think I would put it in the category of "the rocks crying out," and with that, letting myself be convicted about my own lack of praise. Does that make sense?

I like you, Laura. :-)
