Simon told Jack he was better than Sanjaya. Sanjaya was laughing. Carrie Underwood just sang "I'll Stand by You". I think she sounded great. The videos of these kids are breaking my heart.

I know that when I saw Ms. Streisand in concert last year I wanted to punch out Il Divo. But it was really Ms. Streisand's fault, not theirs...she didn't need to have them come on and share the stage with her. But then again, they didn't need to sing so damn loudly either. Il Divo is one of Simon's groups FWIW.

I can't believe that I will be crying for two hours. I tried to call the number to make a donation for the last 30 minutes and it is busy. Are they taking donations on the AI website or do I need to go to www.one.org ?

The videos are heartbreaking, but they aren't moving me to dial in and give up any money. I'm feeling very jaded watching this wondering how much Paula, Simon, Randy and Ryan are giving out of their OWN pockets. Watching Paula hugging that little girl all I could think was, why not adopt or foster a couple of kids in need?

Oh come on now. Who the hell would want PAULA of all people to adopt a child?! That's like wishing Courtney Love would have a litter of kids.

Snoops I had that same thought...Is American Idol actually giving anything Back??? or is it the sponsors? Simon was on 60 minutes laughing at how incredibly rich this Idol franchise has made him...what is he doing???

Thanks for spoiling. I am so happy Blake is safe. I must have called for two hours straight last night.

Ok, Tish, bad example. Just sayin' I don't feel the sincerity of the AI group in this telethon fundraiser.

Go to www.idolaid.coom. You can link from americanidol.com also. Much easier than the phone lines.

lol Tish. I have donated to One in the past and will probably make a small donation. My view is good for AI,using the ratings to make some money for themselves and also getting some money for a good cause.

i think i'm bothered that African kids need our help, AND kids right here in New Orleans and Texas and the Gulf Coast need our help. I prefer to help more locally first.

Yes, they are going one by one tonight. Those are the only tow that Ryan has called on so far.

Yes, her "girls" were threatening to make an appearance. Love her remark about being vertically challenged!

I'm glad they're raising money for Africa AND for New Orleans. Frankly, our federal government has more than enough money to help out NO if it wants to, but it has "other priorities" than giving the region what it needs. In Africa, where they lack even basic infrastructure, it's a whole different story.

I agree with you too, Jandy. Prefer my money to go local. If I were going to donate to this, I'd do it in a week or two, after AI's done giving back. Dread hearing Ryan expound for the rest of the season about how many millions they got America to donate in a 2 hour period.

What does anyone think the "most shocking result" is? I was hoping Chris would go. Maybe AI would be shocked by that but I wouldn't! I was really worried about Blake so I'm glad he's safe.

Phil is safe. Hmm, that leaves LaKisha, Jordin and Chris.
