Idol Gives Back for 2010 delivered a conflicting platform. I think the stories and videos of why we need to donate were heartbreaking, gut wrenching and overall, very charity motivating. Millions of Viewers make this a powerful opportunity to generate such a needed awareness in our country and the world. However, this Idol Gives Back production just seemed to miss the mark overall. While Fergie sounded and looked great and Carrie Underwood was breathtaking as always, the sound for the majority of the performances including the Black Eyed Peas, was just simply atrocious. The worst of the worst was the wasted time from Jonah Hill and Russell Brand. Did they really invoke people to donate money? I understand ”Live” shows are challenging, but this is a singing competition show, at least the sound should have been exceptional. If Idol Gives Back simulated Celebrity Apprentice someone would be fired!
