Sometimes, unexpected moments become the most special. That’s exactly what happened on the set of American Idol recently when a group of contestants turned a regular day into a beautiful moment of worship.
A Surprise Worship Session Backstage
In a video shared by Season 23 contestant Rylie O’Neil, we see something truly heartwarming. About two dozen American Idol contestants were backstage, gathered in a circle, singing “The Blessing” by Elevation Worship. The sound of their voices blended so beautifully that many online said it gave them chills.
Rylie captioned the video, “POV: you’re on the set of American Idol and the Holy Spirit shows up.” And from the sound of it, the Spirit really did show up. The video went viral on social media, and fans flooded the comments with emotional reactions.
Fans React with Joy and Awe
People online loved the video and couldn’t stop talking about how touching it was. One viewer said, “Do I need to start watching American Idol again? This is beautiful!” Another wrote, “I need a whole album of worship songs sung by this group of people! Wowow.”
One comment read, “He didn’t just show up, He blew into that building and took the roof off. Powerful!” Others added words like “Glory!” and “That’s what heaven sounds like!”
Even other Idol contestants who were part of the moment commented. Breanna Nix said, “It was so so powerful! I love you Rylie!” And Thunderstorm Artis shared, “This was a moment.”
American Idol’s Special Easter Sunday Episode
The backstage praise session wasn’t just a one-time thing. It turns out that American Idol has planned something special for Easter Sunday. On April 20, the show will air a “Songs of Faith” episode. Contestants will sing songs that reflect their faith and spiritual journey.
This episode won’t just feature the contestants. The judges — Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, and Lionel Richie — will also perform. Plus, Artist in Residence Jelly Roll will sing, and gospel stars like CeCe Winans, Brandon Lake, and former Idol contestant Roman Collins are set to join the stage.
Fans of both music and faith have a lot to look forward to in this uplifting episode.
A Moment That Touched Many Hearts
The worship moment shared by Rylie O’Neil shows that American Idol is more than just a singing competition. It’s a place where people come together and connect through music, faith, and emotion. This short video reminded many fans of the power of music and belief, especially when shared with others.
As the show continues, it’s clear that this season of American Idol isn’t just about talent. It’s about heart, soul, and unforgettable moments — both on and off the stage.
