Good for them. They're getting Midas rich off that TV show, so I'm glad they're giving some back to the needy.
More important to me is, I'm glad to see GOOD WORKS becoming the accepted way to get publicity, where people on both sides of the celebrity thing (stars and fans) are simply taking it for granted that they're EXPECTED to do good works with their fame and position.
At first that sort of thing "seems" self-serving and cynical ... and then it just becomes "the normal" thing: in my parents' days, neighbors automatically assumed that you helped out neighbors, right? In my grandparents' day, you shared common labour, they'd all go down and work on somebody's barn, if someone down the road were sick, neighbors took them food, helped with chores, etc.
Now ... what? The neighbors move in and out, sometimes you barely know them, there's little community ... that seems to be the expected norm (well, we live next door to a sleeper cell, maybe I'm biased )
Anyway, AI:
JORDIN was a star tonite, she was brilliance, she radiated!
PHIL totally blew the other two guys away, in my book! (All I want is for Phil to be the last guy tossed off, so he'll be #4 by my book after Jordin (wins Idol), Melinda, Lakisha ... Phil)
And LAKISHA ... damn, girl, stop singing other Idol's songs! Stop! When even Paula has to *****foot all around to spare yer feelings, stop! Melinda SPIT again while she was singing, and even if Melinda spit on her Paula would still put a positive spin on the spittle! Paula couldn't save you, nothing will save you ... fire your song-selector!
I was watching IDOL:REWIND (the first season) on WGN and it sounds like in Season One the Judges picked people's songs for them! I think Lakisha would benefit from that.
