American Idol - Idol Gives Back
Well, it’s that time again on American Idol where we self-appointed talent critics get to put our snarky hats on the rack and connect with our generous and emotional sides… yes, I have one. Don’t let our resident Finders Keepers addict Leigh tell you any different. 
I am actually really excited for the shows this week. I thought last year’s Idol Gives Back show was well done, and I actually found it much more entertaining than the much-hyped finale. This season’s should be just as good, as the stars scheduled to appear (and I am fairly certain they did, as the show was taped Sunday night) include: Brad Pitt, Miley Cyrus, Robin Williams, Eli and Peyton Manning, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Reese Witherspoon — and, my personal American Idols — Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart. Unfotunately for me, Fergie is performing with them, and apparently does some gymnastic-ish moves during the performance? Guess if you can’t sing like Ann Wilson, it takes a little creative performing to get you noticed. Might be worth trying, especially if your name is Kristy Lee Cook… just sayin’.
Anyway, to get us back on track and in the charitable frame of mind, here is a clip of my favorite performance from the IGB shindig last year - Josh Groban singing “You Raise Me Up” with the African Children’s Choir:
