American Idol Gets Presidential - President Bush and his wife, First Lady Laura Bush, thanked "American Idol" viewers for helping raise $70 million during last week's charity special, "Idol Gives Back." The money is earmarked to help impoverished children living in the United States as well as the continent of Africa.
"We thank 'American Idol' viewers who have shown the good heart of America," the president said, in a taped appearance, reports the AP. "We thank all the celebrities who participated, including Bono, and all the contestants who sang their hearts out for these children."
Last week's moving American Idol 'Idol Gives Back' charity fund-raiser ahd emotions and expectation at an all-time high, However America has voted and with each vote we get one step closer to the true American Idol for season six.
Phil Stacey and Chris Richardson got the boot! They were great performers, and great guys.
Life’s not “fair” is it...???
At LEAST they got rid of that little loser, Alfalfa, as my Mother calls him.
