Lisa, you’re not the only one shocked and with eyes opened. I’m sure there are shocking numbers of Americans who either don’t know or don’t care to know about the wide divide between the rich & the poor. The gap gets wider & wider, and our middle class is disappearing.

We’re the richest & most powerful country in the world still – yet we’re the poorest in a lot of ways, compassion being one. I think this is why the whole world was shocked seeing the pictures of Katrina on tv.

But there are always people who are compassionate and willing to help, not just Angelina & Brad, not just us – and eventually we’ll prevail.

I watched & taped the whole show too. Its the first AI show I watched (I can’t stand watching people lose). If I’d known about last year’s Idol Gives Back show, I’d have watched it too.

It was perfect – the combination of celebrity presenters, charity video clips & musical performances. The clip & performance which touched me most was Annie Lennox with those lovely boys, then singing “Many Rivers to Cross” live. I downloaded the music & video for that, and Mariah Carey’s “Fly Like a Bird,” Daughtry’s “What About Now,” and Snoop Dogg’s “Can’t Say Goodbye.”

I’m sure there are snide, snarky cynics out there who criticize Idol Gives Back as a ratings gimmick and the performers as self-serving promoters of their CDs – like people dissing Angelina & Brad as only wanting good PR for motivation of their great good works.

I guess there will always be people like those, jealous & bitter like Iago, even when they’re better off than others – now THOSE are the people who have dark hearts.

I think Brad’s overall energy is lighter than Angelina’s. I just feel this dark aura about her. Maybe the good work she does will balance her karma out eventually.

I watched the whole show and taped it. I was really impressed with the overall production quality, especially the clips from all of the charities selected. I am Canadian, and I was really shocked to see how many children in the US are living in pretty extreme poverty, with issues like housing, health care and education. I know it’s not as bad as Africa, but it is shocking, when the “western world” is so rich, to see our own kids so badly off. Although Canada has better overall healthcare and housing, we have problems areas too, especially the native reserves, where families often have no running water, bathrooms or electricity.

Thanks Sherry, I never heard her name before but I will check her song & buy a cd, I am kind of a sentimental person.
If not from American Idol Gives Back I wouldn’t heard her name or her song. I don’t know if she is an American. I will probably google her.
God bless.

Thanks so much for posting the two AI videos. I was hoping to see Brad’s segment again. Thanks for the opportunity.
One always has to remember to have some Kleenex nearby when watching the Idol Gives Back shows. It truly breaks your heart.
