PLEASE. visit www.Americanidol.com and donate to help children living with aids or in poverty.Everyone can do it.I did, and it helped.Even if you can only give a little.Lets help our brothers and sisters.:)

Good causes indeed. Although I object to calling it "Idol Gives Back." They should call it "You Give, Idol Takes Credit."

Sort of like "Oprah's Big Give",it's not her money being used,so why is it called that?
