Carrie Underwood’s Visit to South Africa on “American Idol” Tonight
Carrie Underwood performs the song “Before He Cheats” at the CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Tenn., Monday, April 16, 2007.
Checotah’s superstar, Carrie Underwood, took a break from working on her next album earlier this month to visit South Africa for the “American Idol” “Idol Gives Back” charity special. An exclusive music video package from her trip will air during the two-hour results special at 7 p.m. CDT tonight on Fox.
The trip was organized by “American Idol” and Comic Relief, and during her two-day tour Underwood and three members of her band visited and played for schools, orphanages, hospices and health care centers in and around Johannesburg, South Africa.
Underwood has also recorded an acoustic version of The Pretenders’ 1994 hit, “I’ll Stand By You,” which will play behind footage of Underwood’s trip.
“American Idol” and the Charity Projects Entertainment Fund (CPEF) have partnered to raise awareness and funds for organizations that provide relief for children and young people facing poverty in the U.S. and Africa. For every vote cast, “Idol” sponsors Coca-Cola and AT&T, along with a range of additional partners, will donate money to the charity. During tonight’s broadcast, viewers will be able to make their own donations via toll-free lines and the Internet.
