Caramba!

Awesome.  Celebrities coming together, giving time for their chosen charities, encouraging others to donate for many good causes.  It was just awesome.

Yes there were some questionable performances, but hey, they gave their time, they helped, and for this night, that’s what matters.  Not the opinions of the judges, not the votes.  Just the donations.

I loved Annie Lennox’ performance.  It was amazing.  The emotions were felt with each word.  That’s what these contestants should aspire to be.  And how amazing is it to have Bono and Brad Pitt within the same show, with Brad Pitt there live.  WOW!

Seeing the kids in need, especially in Africa, was an eye-opener.  It reminds me of all those in need here in the Philippines.  I wish we had something as big as Idol Gives Back, an event that can raise millions, which will go to those in need.  But it’s okay, there’s Jesus Loves the Little Children, Cancer Warriors, and Bahay Tuluyan for now.  I encourage you to choose your own beneficiary, and donate regularly.  There are so many out there!

Let’s all give back.
