Idol Gives Back Again For American Idol 2010
Absent from last season, Idol Gives Back is set to return when American Idol comes back in 2010. Fox provided no details on why the event was skipped last year, but a fixed date of April 21, 2010 was cited for this year’s charity event.
“In today’s tough economic times, it’s more important than ever — but more difficult than ever — to raise money to help those in need,” said Fox executive Mike Darnell. “With this year’s ‘Idol Gives Back,’ we’re focused on raising awareness about the challenges that so many children and families currently face and demonstrating how even small donations can make a difference and help save lives. Every little bit counts.”
So far the Idol Gives Back events have raised over $140 million, or roughly what Simon gets paid each season…
Which guest performers and celebrities do you want to see make an appearance? Is it too soon for a Michael Jackson “from the grave” performance like they did with Elvis last time? Share your thoughts on a celeb wish list.

I would like to see REBA MCINTYRE on Idol. She is the true epitome of class, country music, and proof that it is possible to be true to oneself and at the same time treat others with dignity, respect, and appreciation.

Idol is backing up with some of the changes slated for 2010. The caliber of the contestants must be able to override these changes for ratings to continue on a high note.

I think all former winners should make an appearance as well as those contestants who have done well like Daughtry, Lambert etc. I don’t think they will have a problem getting big celebs and singers and any of them will help make the charity event a success.
On another note, I don’t know why some of you insist on not even giving Ellen a chance. What a shame.

Danny Gokey should be there for Idol Gives Back and sing his song “Its Only”. I would love to see Paula Abdul come back to share the stage with him too!

just adam lambert will be enough
December 11th, 2009 at 2:23 PM
No , you must join the fray and definitley have a Michael Jackson tribute, but MJ songs not the J5 tunes.
December 11th, 2009 at 2:23 PM
A Michael jackson song night would be amazing, but no J5 tunes – just Michale tunes.
