radioTelevision talent searches become source of Christian music artists.
IN THE 21st May Christian Herald journalist George Luke wrote about
the numerous Christians from the American Idol TV talent search who
have gone on to record in Christian music. Luke name-checked Reuben
Studdard (the 2003 winner), Clay Aiken (Studdard's runner up),
Fantasia Barrino (last year's winner) and RJ Helton (who finished
fifth in the very first series). The article also mentioned Australian
Idol winner Guy Sebastian (former worship leader with the
Planetshakers youth ministry) and Sipokazi Luzipo, who joined the
Soweto Gospel Choir after competing in the South African version of
Popstars. Commented Luke, "Surely it can't have been what Simon Fuller
intended when he conceived it but such (TV talent searches) have
become a rich source of talent for the Christian music industry."

hello my name is Maleetra drummond I am officially 18 years old. My taalent is singing and that is the gift that god has officially blessed me with for his people to hear. I sing Gospel and rand b, but i don't have the money for talent searches or studio time because my family isn't wealthy and my mother is a sing parent if you can please do. God Bless You.
