Idol Gives Back

Idol Gives Back Foundation! What is it? It is a non profit organization established by producers of American Idol and Fox, to raise money for health, education and services for those in poverty. When I first saw their videos on television, I was mad, because all I saw with celebrities were people from Africa!!! I was wondering why they have not been helping people here on their own country!!! Then I read that their main goal is to serve children and their families in the United States and around the world! I still did not get it, because all I saw with Ryan, Simon and Kara were African children! I do not have any objections with helping other countries, but they should also help in their own backyard!!!! Are they helping the outside world more because they will get more publicity and prestige? Will they not get that much attention here in America?? Are they doing this for their own gain, to better their celebrity status or for their own satisfaction??? Hmmm.... What do you think???? Am I correct or not for having reservations concerning this or any other foundations or charities? Anyway, the idol foundation program was intertwined with the regular idol program. It was graced by many well known singers and celebrities, including, Alicia Keys and Elton John asking for contributions! It also showed Ryan interviewing the Gate's, the billionaire and philantropist. It was a well put endeavor for more than two hours!!!! I was surprised when Simon was shown with a girl and her family from Arizona. They are helping the girl and her family to cope up with the need of the child financially. When I saw that, I was sooo glad that the foundation is also helping out here in America! I hope though, that the Arizona girl is not the only one they are helping here!!! There was a huge suspense which idol was going to be eliminated because of the other program! They waited until the very last second to announce the booted contestant! That is rude!!!! And very bad for the idol contestants! I am sure the contestants were all jittery and would rather have known it as soon as possible, rather than wait for hours before their fate is known! How would you feel? They must have done it on purpose so people will remain tuned to the show, call and donate some money!! Right??? If you were one of them, would you rather wait for your unfortunate fate and listen to the celebrities, or would you rather know it earlier and watch the performers??? It is a toss up? You will not be able to watch once you know it is the last time you will be on stage with your peers? Huh?? It is not the last time, because you are already with the group touring the United States! Right?? It is not the same, you know you will not be the American Idol!!! Who cares, there were some booted contestants on the earlier American idol, and look, thay are doing great in the business!!! Right??? Remember, everything happens for a reason!!! So, don't sweat it!!!! There sure was a vast array of talent last night. I didn't know that Randy, one of the judges can play the guitar! He is one of the people that accompanied one of the singers! Which comes to my mind, what is Simon Cowell's musical talent??? And to think that he has more money, and makes more money than the other judges!! How is that??? What is wrong with this picture??? Can you please tell me why??? Or is it because of his nasty remarks which makes the ratings go up? In this case, is it him who people like to watch, therefore, the producers are giving him more money for being mean??? That is unfair!!!! This is show business! Did you know that there is nothing fair in the world of showbiz???? It is not only fair in show biz, but also in the real world!!!! There is a lot of hard work, endurance, and patience to be successful , not only in show business, but in any profession and endeavors!!!! Unless, you are one of the lucky ones that was born with a silver spoon on his mouth!!!!!!Wow, I kept on talking, I forgot to mention who was booted off! Ha! Ha! Ha! Can you guess? Hint.... He is small, and always smiling.You don't know? You are so quick to forget!!! Last night, when Ryan announced his name, you cannot see his trademark, his smile. The smile that Kara does not like! He missed his smile, when Ryan called his name!!!! Ok, you give up? It was Tim Urban!!!! Tim, forget about them telling you to not to smile too much! You are a happy person,and these people telling you to curtail your smile is miserable!!! Misery likes company!! Forget them!!! You are good and fun to watch!!! Keep smiling! We do not need any crazy, rotten people that takes a lot of energy to get a smile from them! We all need people to smile in this crazy world of ours! Maybe, that is a big maybe, if everybody smiles, then everybody will like each other and we will have a better and peaceful world!!!! Dream....Dream....Dream.......
