Hi and welcome to the premier post of Ingrid's Interesting Items. The topic for today is the kindness of David Archuleta (the true American Idol 7 winner) and the hypocrisy of American Idol.
We've all heard about Idol Gives Back, the big 2 hour show Idol puts on to showcase their random acts of hospitality. But I guess the giving only happens when it looks good for them.
David and his dad/manager/stagemom had planned a sort of thank you concert for his fans in Utah. All the proceeds were to be donated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Well, apparently his father did not clear it with Idol producers who are saying it violates "contractual obligations" and they have to postpone it.
Now, David is not making any money off this concert so it's not like the Idol producers will be out anything. I find it very disappointing that they are not allowing him to do this thing for charity. Maybe they need to remind themselves what giving back is about.
