OK, I don’t want to bust on American Idol‘s “Idol Gives Back” show too much… this was an amazing way to raise money through the highest rated show on TV. But, I felt a little cheated by the failure to deliver the big names they’ve been touting since they announced Idol Gives Back. And the celebs who did appear got very little air time—like Hugh Grant and Keira Knightley, who had been announced on the roster of stars for weeks and only (from what I saw) had a small part in that celeb lip syncing of Stayin’ Alive. Truly, there was a lot of performances and footage of African and American kids living in poverty—that’s the heart of the charity, after all. But still, I’m not so sure the massive promotion of stars who didn’t appear was necessary (Borat and Gwen Stefani come to mind). And, I don’t want to brag (well, a little maybe), but I had a feeling as soon as Ryan said this would be “the most shocking result in Idol history” that no one would be going home. It just didn’t seem right to eliminate someone with the whole tone of the show. Next week though—two get the boot!
