Idol Goes Big And Gives Back
Although Wednesday’s American Idol won’t be saying goodbye to another contestant, (the results will be shown Thursday night) they will be airing their Idol Gives Back show for the second year in a row. The fundraiser will be raising money for both U.S. and international charities and will feature big stars like Brad Pitt, Hollywood it-couple David and Victoria Beckham, Miley Cyrus, and former Idol winners Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks. I recommend having a box of kleenex handy as the show will also include heartfelt stories informing people firsthand on how this special will be making a difference in the lives of many.
Winners of the Week
Two very big shows had two very big episodes this week.
Not only did Project Runway reveal its winning designer on Wednesday, but just last night American Idol’s top 12 was decided.
Christian Siriano proved that “fierceness” was just what Heidi Klum was looking for as he (emotionally) took the title of best designer of the hit-show’s fourth season. Siriano, from Annapolis, MD and the youngest contestant to ever win, achieved another difficult task as well…he made the one and only Posh smile. Victoria Beckham, who joined Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia on the judging panel for the final runway show, admitted that Siriano’s collection was something that she would wear and in her own words said, “It was major.”

In-between all those nail-biting commercial breaks, Ryan Seacrest finally revealed which singers will compete next week in American Idol’s top 12 last night. Although it was sad to see the four contestants leave, it will be exciting to see how the top 12 will perform as the stakes get higher.

Here’s a video of Luke singing Queen’s “Killer Queen,” during last week’s ’70s theme.
