"Gifted," a Christian version of the popular American Idol TV show, is scheduled to debut in October on Trinity Broadcasting Network, the Costa Mesa, Calif.-based conglomerate that features such well-known evangelists as Benny Hinn.

Something their replacement for Simon won't be nearly as entertaining.

Benny Hinn is the nutso who blows on people on that religious channel and "heals" them. HBO had a documentary on him a few years. Not flattering at all, especially when Hinn got so caught up in his contradicting stories he couldn't keep them straight.
