It was a busy weekend in Milwaukee, San Diego and Conway, Ark., as each city played host to their "American Idol" finalists.

Danny Gokey, Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are home for parades and celebrations that will be shown on next week's episode of "American Idol."

While Idol-mania is heating up as the season heads into the home stretch, some viewers have noticed an interesting phenomenon that began way back during the audition season: There have been a lot of Christian singers competing this year.

The first to speak openly about his faith was Gokey, a worship leader at Faith Builders International Church in Milwaukee.

There were other Christian contestants with similarly touching stories, such as the blind pianist, Scott MacIntyre, and Lil Rounds, who lost her house in a tornado
