Take a confirmed superstar in the entertainment world, Carrie Underwood, who has won multiple Grammys and sold millions of tunes, and add a song from the 1800s, and you get this:
It is what RedState confirmed as "unforgettable."
Her performance was of "How Great Thou Art," a Christian church hymn that started out as a poem, "O Store Gud," by Swedish poet Carl Boberg in 1885 whose words were wedded to a traditional Swedish folk song tune and first sung in a church in 1888.
RedState explained it came during an appearance on the "American Idol – Songs of Faith" special.
"At one point, the camera panned to the judges, who appeared to be just as moved by the performance as the audience. Social media users noted that they got goosebumps, chills, and more listening to Underwood share the powerful words," the report said.
Also on the show were singers CeCe Winans, Brandon Lake, "American Idol" alum Roman Colins, country star Jelly Roll and more, the report said.
"The "American Idol' faith-focused show comes at a time when audiences seem to be sending the message to Hollywood for stories and shows about faith," it said. "One example of that is the success of Angel Studios' new animated biblical movie 'King of Kings.' Going into its second weekend, the movie remained in the top 5 at the box office, coming in second place behind the monster hit 'A Minecraft Movie.'"
Underwood started her path to superstardom by winning the fourth season of "American Idol" in 2005. She later judged the show.
She's been topping various song charts since she launched her career, has won multiple Grammys, has sold records at a figure approaching 100 million, and was called by "Billboard" the top female country artist of the 2000s and 2010s.
