Please read this,it means sooo much.
Hey everybody, it's Jay and I don't usually watch American Idol but this time I did. Please read what I am about to say. Now on American Idol they are having a charity for poor, starving, sick and/or impoverished children who are hopelessly dying in Africa and they desperately need help. You and your family can help by donating even $5. It is so much if everybody donates a small amount of money, though the more the better. You can pay online by going to the idol website or pay with your credit card over the phone by calling this number: 1-877-IDOL-AID. Please tell your parents about it. A child dies every 30 seconds from Malaria.Every 30 seconds a child is orphaned in Africa directly do to AIDS.It's amazing how these kids are born to die so young. Remember, it's only a matter of opening your heart to a couple of things and simply making a choice if you want to help or not. The charity is called Idol Gives Back and it is donating all proceeds. So please tell your family about it and donate what you can afford and remember the tragedy that these kids go through each day of their pitiful, painstaking lives that are full of horror every minute. Thank you so much and I think I speak for the children of Africa too.

I'm so pleased you posted this. I voted three times before I had to finish my work. :)
The water issue in Africa is horrible. Check out think.mtv.com and look at Jay-Z's video diary online to learn more. It was an AMAZING video.
Thanks for posting, JME.
No problem christinaL
I think that this is an outstanding idea for American Idol, however dont they make like 20 million dollars every episode. That means along with the proceeds of everyone giving some money, the show only gave like 5 million. They could have at least gave 10 million. That would at least be half of what they make in a single show. The voters aree giving more than Idol is. Its more like viewers gives back not Idol gives.
I agree with jrb, I think that at the end of the day, the one giving most are the viewers, not American Idol. American idol might have opened the opportunity for the viewers to vote and the voters vote. But if the show is making about $20,000,0000 every show, the could at least join the cause by giving a little money, such as a couple thousand dollars. This is just my way of thinking about it and how I see it, but I'm sure people also think otherwise.
I agree with what jrb and am are saying, but really, what the show gives is not the point. The point is that we're giving, right? The point is that under our shell of prosperity the American People are giving something to someone in need. It doesn't matter how much or who gives--so long as someone gives.
