Thehimalayantimes.com reports that the “American Idol” special raised over $30 million for charity:
Television singing talent show “American Idol” proved its clout as a US cultural phenomenon on Wednesday by raising more than $30 million for young people in Africa and the United States.
A two-hour show filled with inspirational songs, movie, television and music stars and stories of poverty from Africa and the United States rounded off the two-night special.
I applaud American Idol for this. In my opinion, they deserve the good PR they will get from it.
