Celebrity Power‑Up: The “IHeart Living Room Concert for America”
On Sunday, the highest‑profile team of stars will turn their living rooms into a stage for a one‑hour show that’s all about saving lives, one donation at a time.
Who’s in the lineup?
- Mystery diva Mariah Carey (belinda) – aka “The Queen of the Call‑Out‑Back
- Future‑star Billie Eilish – who still listens to herself singing from her bedroom
- Country legend Tim McGraw – pulling out half a horsepower from his sofa
- And a do‑you‑know‑Elton John host that’ll put the folks on the edge of their seats
Other guest stars to make your heart sing
- Alicia Keys (the “You’re so sweet!” goddess)
- Backstreet Boys (the ultimate layer‑ed team reading from the past)
- Billie Joe Armstrong – Green Day’s voice of “BTC‑TUB-ANK”
What’s a “Living Room Concert”?
All the singers will self‑record – think a phone on a tripod, a mic in a plastic bottle, or the meticulous talent of using a plain webcam. The footage will be · 1:00‑hour wild‑ride to your living room.
Why we’re doing it
In a world where hospitals are being swamped, the IHeart Live‑Room Concert for America pays tribute to the unsung heroes on the front lines: nurses, clinicians, and the everyday people who keep the world moving.
It also doubles as a fundraising blitz for two charities who deserve a round of applause:
- Feeding America – to keep the plates full.
- First Responders Children’s Foundation – bringing hope to families that need it most.
How to help
Hit the donation button on the Fox website; the money will jump straight into the charities. No “not‑so‑big‑plays” are required – the best gift is a small contribution from each of you that adds up to massive relief.
Why this gets a thumbs‑up
When the COVID‑19 crisis turned the country to lockdown, artists pivoted on‑the‑fly:
- John Legend performed like a superstar at home.
- Chris Martin of Coldplay streamed rap‑in‑the‑living‑room sets.
- James Taylor quietly donated a million dollars to Massachusetts General Hospital.
- Rihanna helped the healthcare frontliners bulk‑up the food and safety kits.
