let's go make a difference

So it's 9:57 and we finally get to see Bono. Not in person, though. Just mentoring the contestants before they close the song by singing some song about a prayer. It's not horrible, but it's not necessarily the coolest way to end the show, if you know what I mean.
Overall, I think "Idol Gives Back" was done pretty well, with a good balance of footage, performances and comedy. It was a strong showing for the show's first attempt at fundraising.
As for the lack of elimination, I don't see how they could have done it any other way. It would have been kind of hypocritical to destroy someone's dreams on a night dedicated to goodwill. The kids could have acted a little more surprised about it, though.
That's all for tonight. Thanks for reading. See you in Africa.
