Also, was it just me or did Miley sound like ass???

They had time to show Homer Simpson getting a colonoscopy (Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m still not sure whether that was meant to be funny or not) but no time for David?

That got some big laughs, not as huge as Jack Black did, though.

I found the program to be a good balance of information and emotion. And the doctors and philanthropists had their own star power, too! Melissa E. was awesome. She gave me chills. James Taylor and Sheryl Crow were fantastic; they worked together beautifully. They are such class acts. And how about violinst Joshua Bell! Anyway, I thought it was pretty well put together, even with a few messy live-tv moments thrown into the mix. Re: Miley, her continues to escape me. And yeah, Beyonce looked more than a bit matronly. Where did her divaliciousness go? And, yay Leona. She grows on me every day.

LOL at Mariah's bedazzled microphone. She must carry one in her purse. Miley sucks, but I give her props for at least sucking in her very own distinctive, recognizable way and not sounding like any sucky teenaged girl singer that came before her. And, like bax, I was a bit creeped out by Fergie's sexy cancer dance. Ew.

She sounds coarse when she sings live, like here. She can't compare to all the other singers there, is worst singer of the bunch and I doubt she will even get into top 12 of AI.

I mean, i never really took the time to listen to her before and just assumed she was all digitalized and stuff...but i took the time to listen to her the other day and thought she had a really good voice. I think in this vid, she was just kinda goofing and trying to sound like rhianna. i thought she was good. having said that, im amazed they all these famous chicks got together on the same stage. remarkable. i DO NOT think Miley has a terrible voice.

I kinda choked with tears over hearing about the 4 year-old dying. We all need to remind those we love to get the tests that ARE available! I just had the NEW digital Mammogram and it isn't as uncomfortable as the old one! Sheryl Crow and James Taylor together? Wonderful, abasolutely wonderful!! Josh Grobin has a golden voice. Melissa did just fine. Great news about Archie and his Angels. It is good that David Cook left such a touching message for us. The program was worth watching just for the messages it sent.

I wish I would have known about Cookie's team... but there are at least five different cancer charities in his name that I know of right now. Hard to keep track of them all!!! :) But I do intend to give more to "The Cookie Jar" when Stand Up's team donation becomes available on September 8th.

After all, she's still relatively new at this, as well. Oh and David C posting that blog was just brilliant. He probably knows that his fans were pretty disappointed in not seeing him on the show, after all the hype in him (and the other idols) making an appearance. But in the grand scheme of things, it's the cause that's important. And David's acknowledgement of all those responsible in putting the show together, and his and Archie's fans who supported the cause, was a really smart way to deflect any negative feelings his non-appearance may have brought to those who were patiently waiting to see him. What else can I say, David's a really special breed of individual. His sense of responsibility and humility, among his other great qualities, just make me proud to be his fan. : ) It’s also nice to see Leona Lewis holding her own with these girls.
