In my previous post regarding rumors on the possible return of American Idol contestants, which may include Asia'h Epperson, the web was abuzz with her and other contestant's return. Well, until now, there's no news about it so it seems that it's just that, a rumor.
Regarding the Idol Gives Back special on April 9, it is reported that Ellen DeGeneres will not be co-hosting the show anymore. According to American Idol producer, Nigel Lythgoe, the popular TV host has to cancel due to personal production pressure. There's no words yet on who will replace her.
Even without Ellen co-hosting the show, the Idol Gives Back special has an illustrious list of celebrities that will support and participate in the show. It will feature appearances by Bono, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Miley Cyrus, just to name a few. Boyz II Men, Gloria Estefan, Heart and Maroon 5 are said to be performing in the event too.
For this year, the following are the charities to be supported, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Save The Children, the Children’s Defense Fund, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the Children’s Health Fund, Make It Right and Malaria No More.
The special will definitely be a good one for all AI fans as it will include production numbers that include their favorite Idol contestants. Will it include contestants in the Top 24 or just those in the Top 10? Are we going to see Asia'h Epperson in the show? We don't know.
So, Asia'h Epperson fans, it's for a good cause, let's all help make it a success!
Asia'h Epperson on American Idol Gives Back?
American Idol Rumor: Good for Asia'h?
Is Asia'h Epperson and the other AI contestants who were voted off coming backing to the show? There's a rumor going around on the net that says some of those voted off will be allowed a second chance to come back. Are they going back as wild-card contestants? or are the producers just picking one to join the top 10 on the American Idol tours? Details are kinda fuzzy right now. In truth, I think the latter is much more probable than the former. Although, I wish they do the former.
From the rumors, five of the top 24 who failed to make the top 10 will return to the American Idol stage for the April 9th Idol Gives Back charity special. Nothing is official yet regarding this though so cross your fingers.
The Idol Gives Back special
Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres is set to co-host the Idol Gives Back charity campaign with Ryan Seacrest. It is estimated that the successful show last year raised more than $76 million for a lot of charities that included Save The Children, Children's Health Fund and the Children's Defense Fund.
Last week, Fox has announced that a number of artists and celebrities will be taking part in the April 9th charity show. It include Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas and former American Idol contestants Chris Daughtry and Carrie Underwood.
