The one hour show was called “Fox Presents the iHeart Living Room Concert for America. This wonderful live show was hosted by Elton John from his home. He was playing his son’s piano. The performers were all big stars of today’s pop music scene including a Foo Fighter, Billie Eilish, Back Street Boys, Lady GaGa, Alicia Keys, Sam Smith, Tim McGraw (country), Mariah Carey, and others including Ciara, Demi Lovato, H.E.R. and others.
All the singers and musicians who participated in this unique concert were willing to sit at home, with their kids and dogs, to offer thanks to healthcare workers, raise money for hunger and families of first responders, and to present their work with no frills, studio engineers, big bands or special effects.
Tim McGraw sat by his pool with his dog, Billie Eilish performed on her sofa with her guitarist brother, and Mariah Carey did a superb split screen presentation with a pianist and 3 backup singers, all in separate locations, and the sound was marvelous.
The charities included Feeding America.org/iheart and First Responders Children’s Foundation.
MARIAH CAREY: ” Always be my Baby.”
The fundraising was for two charities:
Hunger: feedingamerica.org/iheart
First responders: 1strcf.org
