Idol and Other NEWs

Did you know that the word, NEWS, comes from the acronym for North, East, West, and South?  I learned that from a bathroom book... ha!  

Well, I've got some Idol news first for ya and this time, it has nothing to do with the contestants.  THIS time, I will be on stage with Jordin Sparks singing background vocals on her new single "Battlefield"... such a good song!  While I am continuing to set my record up just right, I will be joining Jordin along with other artists TBA =)  on the road for a little bit.  It will be a bit of a new adventure and a different role for me to play, but I am excited about a change of pace and am open to what God wants to do with me in the midst of it.  In the meantime, I will be continuing to write, record, and really connect with you all and keep you in the mix of things.  It has been a very trying time for me personally, just with having this project be delayed, and more delayed, and more delayed, but I believe that it will release when it's ready to be released and all I can do is be prepared.  SO, I hope that I can see some of your smiling faces on the road and don't forget to watch Idol on Wednesday night (and Tues, of course).... it's gonna be a blast!

  2. Oh that's so awesome! I'd love to watch you sing but unfortunately I can't watch Idol over here in Europe.
    I really wish you all the best and hope that God will exactly show you his will and way for you!

  3. Well that sounds like fun! And even though it's a departure from the norm for you it sounds like a great opportunity to work with some amazing artists.

  4. Hmmm.... I know who Jordin's going on tour with and I will risk being engulfed by screaming 13 year olds to see you sing. I'm still sad I missed you while you were here last month in Seattle @ the Nectar Lounge.

  7. Wow! I didn't even realize. I watched the performance back, and you looked adorable and sounded terrific as always! I'm excited for you. But Jordin should be singing backup for you! haha.

  8. Just wanted to tell you that I saw you on IDOL. How cool was that? Jordin really got into the performance. Hope you had fun.

  9. Hey Rachael! I wish I had read this post prior to seeing Jordin's performance on Idol. I went back and watched it again on you tube and did see you! It was really odd to see you sing back up! Not to bash Jordin, because I love her, but you are absolute fave and I think you are soooooo much better than here. lol But I think you are better thane everyone so I am biased!

    I cannot wait for your new album! Well, I can wait, and I will, but I am so eager to here it! I know it's going to rock!

    I hope you are doing well and that you are enjoying life! God Bless ya chica!

  12. Hi Rachel, Sorry for using this space for other purposes ...
    I'm Juan Carlos of Paraguay, a catholic musician from South America, and i wanted to ask you if you're still an a Christian Catholic artist as when started at young age of 15 years ...

    Rachel many blessings, and your songs even without the certainty of your faith, they were always of great blessing for me...

  13. I learned a new fact! I never knew that before. I watched Hidden Secrets for the 3rd time with my family last night. It was a great reality check after coming back from college this year. Great music and a great movie!

    Keep the faith and stay strong as you venture into a new area. God has used you so much, and He will continue to do so. Let Him lead, and no matter what comes your way, keep Him first in your life. He'll always be there--I know He will! God bless, Rachael!

  17. Patience ultimately gives us the opportunity to share God's love. (Rom. 5:1-5)When one door closes in front of you, God will open another. It looks like He has started to open some doors for you. Just follow where He leads you and you will see great rewards. Look for a message on MySpace. It might take awhile for you to get to it, but I hope it gives you encouragement.

  27. Caramba! este homem "vertuno" parece louco por você, querida rachael ts ts


    Olá! Me chamo Geyrison e também sou brasileiro e triste somente por acreditar que o brasil e você estão muito muito distantes. graças a Deus que os albums de vocÊ são vendidos pelo selo "BOMPASTOR" :)

    sabia você mesma ser uma de todas as mais conhecidas cantoras cristãs internacionais aqui? dançarinos AMAM a música "SAVIOR SONG" e tocam ela nas ruas para falar sobre Deus. Eu sendo um simples músico amador admiro muito isto, algo "invejável"!

    Soube de seu EP, espero não precisar comprar "importado" (oh meu bolso, irá ser tão caro) tão quanto espero que em seu casamento você seja muito feliz.

    até seu próximo post.
