Wednesday night was a special results show for American Idol with their annual “Idol Gives Back” charity event. Hosted by Ryan Seacrest and Queen Latifa, the telethon-like event showcased various musical artists in an effort to raise money for underprivileged children worldwide.
The top 12 American Idol contestants joined together on the stage one more time to open the show with “Keeping the Dream Alive.” The performance was followed by a video message from actress Jennifer Garner about a poverty ridden town in Kentucky, near where Garner herself grew up.
Comedian George Lopez guest hosted a segment of the show where he judged the judges, while comedian Wanda Sykes performed stand-up comedy. Victoria Beckham, Morgan Freeman, David Cook, Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell all spoke on behalf of underprivileged children in the United States and Africa.
The show also consisted of performances by The Blackeyed Peas, Jeff Beck and Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Mary J. Blige and Elton John.
American Idol host Ryan Seacrest announced Idol contestants Casey James, Aaron Kelly and Tim Urban as having the lowest amount of votes for the week. At the end of the show Seacrest announced that Tim Urban had been eliminated.
Next week’s guest coach will be country artist Shania Twain and the contestants will be performing a song from her songbook.
