Half of the money raised this year will go to Worldwide while half will support American Charity efforts.
The Idol Gives Back Telethon will have numerous performances as well as acts from various celebrities. Here is a sneek peek Spoiler of what to expect. Part of the event was filmed on Sunday April 6, 2008
Some American Idol Gives Back Show Spoilers:
* Annie LennoxThe So You Think You Can Dance kids did the opening number with the Idol cast to Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop the Music.” Awesome. That’s all I have to say about that.
* Maria Shriver came out to an instrumental version of “Maria” from West Side Story. I wonder if she just wanted to die when that song played. She didn’t waiver though. After all, she’s a Kennedy so she’s kind of a pro at this stuff. Shriver brought out some volunteers and asked to America not only to give money but to offer up their services and time to help their communities.
* Snoop Dogg performed with Charlie Wilson who had trouble hearing his feed. The Dogg wore an American Idol sweatshirt and had a bedazzled microphone. Both were ridiculous. A bunch of little kids (I think from Snoop’s football league) joined them onstage. It was pretty cute.
* John Legend sang “Show Me.” Fergie joined him but they cut the feed in our room so we could interview Snoop. Fergie also performed with Heart and did a cartwheel on stage. Whoa.
* Billy Crystal came out and told the audience how Idol keeps him in touch with pop culture, “without Idol, I wouldn’t know how to use the words ‘yo dawg’ in a sentence.” Crystal then introduced Miley Cyrus. After some banter, Cyrus sang “Broken Chains.” It was meh. I would love to hear Simon’s critique of it. Miley performed later on: a faster song that allowed her to gyrate all around the stage. Or is she Hannah Montana when she does that? I don’t get her.
* Annie Lennox did a rather touching video package about the AIDS epidemic in Africa and then appeared on stage. She sang “Many Rivers to Cross”. Her performance was beautiful (no big surprise there).
* In his onstage bit, Jimmy Kimmel said “Simon Cowell is the reason Governor Schwarzenegger must work to secure the borders of this country.” Then continued to roast the outspoken host of the show making fun of his shirts, his haircut and even his nipples.
* Carrie Underwood wore a iridescent ballgown and performed a George Michael song called “Praying for Time.”
* Gloria Estefan sang “Get on Your Feet” with Sheila E. on percussion. And it looks like the So You Think You Can Dance cast made a second appearance on stage. Sarah Silverman came on stage afterwards and joked, “That song is so inspiring I almost got up and made it happen.”
* Robin Williams pretended to be a Russian Idol hopeful.Source: TV Squad
