no wonder he sounds hoarse

LBB, I would assume the hoarse voice comes from what he does for a living, but that’s just me.

‘Idol’ charity donations top $60M
34 minutes ago

An “American Idol” charity special filled with wrenching pictures of impoverished children and celebrity appeals raised more than $60 million, Fox said Thursday.

The money from “Idol Gives Back,” a two-night special that was combined with the regular talent contest, will go to organizations funding relief programs for America and Africa, the network said. Donations came from viewers and corporations.

A total of $5 million was pledged by Fox parent company News Corp., which gave 10 cents for each of the first 50 million votes received for contestants on Tuesday’s show. More than 70 million votes were cast, a record for the show, Fox said.

Pledges were still coming in and an updated total was to be announced on next Tuesday’s show, Fox said.

In the spirit of the evening, “American Idol” decided not to bounce a contestant as usual Wednesday à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬’  meaning two singers will be going home next week.

Performers on Wednesday’s two-hour special included Earth, Wind & Fire, Kelly Clarkson and Josh Groban with the African Children’s Choir. Ben Stiller, Madonna and other celebrities encouraged viewers to donate.

Ellen DeGeneres, co-host with Ryan Seacrest of Wednesday’s show, said she was making a personal donation of $100,000.

Funds will go to the newly formed Charity Projects Entertainment Fund for distribution to groups including America’s Second Harvest: The Nation’s Food Bank Network, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.

More than money was raised. More than 70,000 people joined “ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History,” the group said Thursday, after rock star-activist Bono’s video plea Wednesday for people to unite against “brutal, stupid poverty.”

ONE is a a coalition of over 2.4 million people and 100 of the nation’s relief, humanitarian and advocacy organizations.

As for song selections for this week, some good suggestions for Blake have been mentioned at teamplaid.com. I think Sublime, the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Third Eye Blind, RHCP, Radiohead, and the Beasties were all mentioned. I’d love him to try “Evil” by Interpol or maybe something by Razorlight, but they may be too obscure.

Bobbi, $60 Million was raised, that is awesome!Did that include the downloaded music or is that pledges made vis a vis the telephone and internet?

Shar, I didn’t hear him give specifics. The story he was doing was how AI reached a younger generation that is not normally involved in philanthropic efforts.

I am certain some of this was quite self serving to AI, but so what.I hope they will set a trend for some of the other programs to come up with their own charity events.

This would go a long way in absolving some of the negative feelings against the United States that have developed in the last few years.

I think most Americans are truly decent people and I am proud of AI for doing this and showing that Americans do care about others.

“It’s hard to make money touring. Managers make money, the people in the service organizations make money, the crews make money, but there are so many times when a band spends six or seven months on the road and ends up with very little to show for it, even when a tour is grossing millions of dollars.”

Bless her heart. Sheà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

I posted this a few pages back, I even said the exact thing you did “always a bridesmaid never a bride”

Because I knew you would find it “Snarkworthy”

There is a link and a big long article about it.

Indy: So Kelly was the strong female singer, Ruben was the R&B guy, Fantasia was the soulstress and Carrie was the country gal. Where do you fit in?

TH: My music leans towards the Dave Matthews Band jam-band type of format, so there’s more jamming.
