American Idol Gives Back Returns

American Idol will once again host Idol Gives Back, the Emmy Award-winning television event and musical celebration raising awareness and funds to benefit various U.S. and international charities, during the Top 7 Results Show Wednesday, April 21 at 8/7c on FOX. Children’s Health Fund, Feeding America, Malaria No More, Save the Children’s U.S. Programs and the United Nations Foundation are confirmed beneficiaries.

I am not looking forward to this. As I've said before, if you want to give, give now, give anytime, don't wait. It makes me sick that fans would only call or pledge because it is their "chance" to talk to an Idol on the phone during the Idol Gives Back show. Give because you want to help.
