This Thursday, the Gospel Music Channel will air a documentary on American Idol‘s effect on the Christian music world, one of those unspoken synergies that’s always manifested itself in semi-uncomfortable ways for those of us not in the evangelical fold. Among the interviewees: Melinda Doolittle, Phil Stacey, and the sister of current Idol annoyance Danny Gokey, who I hope will discuss just how her family’s church claims to raise people from the dead.
