American Idol Gives Back

Last night on American Idol, Ryan Seacrest finally made the announcement that he's been threatening us with all week. I have to admit I was more shocked at this announcement, than the fact that Sanjaya made it through to the final twelve. In my pea brain I was convinced that Ryan was going to announce a nation wide song writing contest, and the winning song would be used in the finale of American Idol in May. I was wrong.



American Idol is teaming up with Charity Projects Entertainment Fund for a two night special American Idol Gives Back!

On 24 and 25 April, the Idol shows will raise awareness and money for underprivileged children in Africa and here in the US. Coca Cola, Ford and AT&T, are all going to give money for every vote called in and then on the results show, America will have a chance to give.

It's going to be quite the event on April 25. A crazy cast of characters will be performing, Annie Lennox, Bono, Borat, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Michale Buble and Il Divo. Wow. My head hurts.

This TV event is going to be huge. I'm sure that Idol Gives Back will raise gazillions of dollars. Now if they'd only give us back the hours of our life that we've spent listening to Sanjaya sing!
