I hate to admit it, but I was never a Carrie fan. Boy was I wrong!


Whoopi on now. Using her teasing personality in her plea for pledges.

I wanted to say, OT, that I've always seen Obama ads running on this show. But for the first time (earlier) I saw one for Clinton, too. That was smart, choosing tonight.

Ellen--spiel in her style.

Gloria Estevan--sings---with dancers on stage and woman drummer (part of whose equipment fell when she hit it hard!)

Sarah Silverman--funny gal.

Forrest Whittaker in Africa. Love him. Little baby, Maria, in hospital--infection from malaria has reached the child's brain, causing seizures. Recovering to the degree she can. A $10 mosquito nets could have prevented the problem. One pill can save a life, like it did with this child.

Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of Great Britain. Talking about malaria --and the fact that Britain will pay for 20 million more nets (the equivalent of $200 million dollars) tonight. Urging other countries to join in!

Now up to $22 million in pledges.

Reese Witherspoon. I've seen her in a lot of PSAs lately. I like her.

She is with a poverty-stricken community in the U.S. Freedom Schools.

Idols singing Seasons of Love. I absolutely adore that song. They're doing so well! Kristi sounded particularly good, so did David A.

Alicia Keyes on now--in Africa with children affected by Aids. She is head of a program that helps provide for these children. (I think it is called "Help One"--something like that.) She describes the issues--and poses a challenge to all of us.

Mylie singing again. She does alot of charging around stage, I've noticed. Not really dancing. Flips her hair a lot, too. I do think she has a very 'listenable' voice.

Appalachia. With dad, Billie Rae. Meeting a family that lives, like many others in the area, in poverty. More than half of adults never finish high school. Check out an after-school program--results dramatic regarding grade level improvements in reading.

Rob Schneider. Funny. "You'd think Bono would have enough money to fix all the problems in Africa. Well, apparently, he only has half. That's why we need your help. And, feel free to send some to me."

Brad Pitt introduces Daughtry. The band went to Uganda-who made an album there to bring attention to the people's plight. Great music.

Mariah Carey sings, Fly Like a Bird.

Idols close out show with Shout to the Lord.


Btw, Jordin Sparks will be singing on the Results show tomorrow night. So Jasper's game players who chose her--you got it!

Herckle I thought Jasper's question referred to the Season Finale didn't it?

Darn Wink, I think you're right. I just reread the questions and it does say finale. Oh well, maybe Jordin will return at the end too. (one can hope)

We watched about half the show then the kids had to go to bed.

I Bono. I did a research paper on him once and the charitable causes he was involved in (History of Rock n Roll class, lol.) I'd always liked U2 but what I learned about him really caused me to admire him.

Dakota was in heaven, lol. The Jonas Brothers and Miley all on the same show! She cracked me up, sat about 2 inches from the tv totally enthralled while Miley was on.

HP, I was never real impressed with Carrie on the show but the stuff she's done since is great. First song I heard of hers after Idol, I couldn't believe it when Darren told me it was her, lol.

Just like last year, maybe even better, this is the most amazing thing I have ever seen on TV.

Bravo to American Idol, and all of the Stars.

Well, dang, Wink, I didn't read it very well. I would have chosen Fantasia.

War, thanks for that. That's exactly how I reacted when I heard her for the first time on the radio!

Tuned in for a bit, and loved Annie Lennox with the kids. Made me cry. And I agree that Carrie Underwood was AMAZING.

The segment with Annie Lennox and the kids was the most touching thing on the show last night. I was in tears.

Is Annie Lennox HIV positive? I tuned in at the end of her performance and only saw her shirt.

I am pretty sure Annie Lennox is not HIV positive and that the shirt was just for support of those around her. Or rather, she is not an "out" HIV positive person, and she seems the sort of person who would be out, if she was affected.

"Bono died. That's what my barber/"stylist" said this morning."
Not sure waht this is in reference to, but Bono is alive and well!

Maybe they meant 'Sonny' Bono.
