Idol Gives Back

As many of you know, I'm not the biggest fan of American Idol, but I'll watch it if I haven't got anything else going on. Since I am a big fan of the ONE Campaign, I wanted to tune in this week for "Idol Gives Back." I must say, I teared up a bit (as I often do) when they started showing clips of those poor African women and children dying/affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty in general. Then I really started tearing up when Josh Groban sang. Ridiculous right? I know. But I just love Josh Groban and I'm a sucker for inspirational songs.

However, when Celine Dion came out to sing "with" Elvis Presley...it kind of creeped me out. Allen found it extremely disturbing, and while I wasn't as affected by it as he was, I agree that it wasn't necessarily the best idea. Everyone knows he's dead - why was Celine pretending to look at him and sing with him as if he were really there? Anyway, I'm sure many of you really enjoyed the special effects duet and I can certainly understand that as well, but personally, I'd rather they just leave the dead alone.
