A Charitable Moment on Idol

American Idol is many things. Raucus, biased, possibly rigged. But tonight it was also charitable, at least to its contestants. The night was themed “Idol Gives Back,” and donations were made to Charity Projects Entertainment Fund, a program helping children in extreme poverty in American and Africa. The host for the night was our favorite Ellen DeGeneres, and guests included Kelly Clarkson and Annie Lennox. As the icing on the two hour cake, no contestants were voted off tonight.
Don’t get all excited, two will be booted next week, so expect plenty of drama. They say 70 million text messages came in this week, so the show knows who is going, it’s America who doesn’t. This show is amazing in its capacity to capture attention. It’s like a car wreck on the side of the freeway: you just can’t look away. Heck, I’m not even watching it any more and I’m still fascinated.
