Idol contestants to perform anthem written by Bono

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE
BonoWe're halfway through American Idol's self-proclaimed "historic" charity event. Last night, News Corp donated 10 cents for every call received (up to 50 million calls).

Tonight, a bunch of celebrities (including Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, and a mystery duet) will take to the stage to entertain America and raise even more money and awareness.

And before one of the Idol finalists gets booted, the kids will perform a special anthem -- "American Prayer" -- written by Bono and Dave Stewart about the AIDS emergency in Africa.

Bono will not appear live tonight. However, he will be seen in a taped segment mentoring the finalists and talking about the work of ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History.

I have a question: what happened to Quincy Jones? I thought he was writing the "anthem" for tonight's show?
