A second Idol Gives Back concert and fundraiser occurred on April 9, 2008, during the seventh season of the show. Idol Gives Back was not held in 2009 due to the ongoing economic crisis and recession. The executive producer released a statement saying that now is not the time to be asking for money from the American public. However, it returned on April 21, 2010 during the top 7 results show of season 9.

Famous quotes containing the word idol:
“Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol as you wish, but drag her down to your level after that—the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart.”
—Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)
