Watch: MDA Telethon Live Performances

With a guest list and list of performers that included such A-list acts as Jennifer Lopez, Martina McBride, and others, it’s no wonder this past weekend’s MDA (Muscular Dystropy Association) annual Labor Day weekend telethon raised a whopping $61.5 million (nearly $3 million more than last year).

Hosted by So You Think You Can Dance judge Nygel Lythgoe, the six-hour live broadcast also featured stirring performances from TGJ faves Celine Dion and Jordin Sparks.

See the divas do what they do best after the jump:

    Both songs were touching, just like the whole Telethon. I also like the duet with country singer Darius Rucker and 12-year old Abey Umali http://youtu.be/Orlaso4Uzhc It was very cute and both performed well! 🙂

    I am happy the MDA was able to raise $61.5 million, breaking their 2008 record.

    They were both amazing. 61.5 million is a very good amount.

  13. Nick September 6, 2011

    Celine dion looks hahahahah i don’t want to say.

  14. Cookie (Contralto Diva’s Toni Braxton, Amy W. Bran, Rih) September 6, 2011

    Celine sounds like a country hillbilly. Jordan Sparks sounds terrible.

  15. KD September 6, 2011

    Mariah Carey’s Open Arms >>>>> Celine Dion’s Open Arms…but then again very few people would be able to do the song justice.

    Jordin Sparks was YAWN…she can sing but the song and the way she sung sent me to LALA land.

  16. KD September 6, 2011

    sung = sang.

    Celine is one of my favs. But it´s funny cos this song is clearly my least favorite from her new show in Vegas. It doesn´t suit her like some other songs do. And yes Mariah´s version was better but that´s irrelevant now. Neither of them are at their vocal peak, they are just legends who did it better than all your favorites. In fact, they keep on doing it better than most if not all of nowadays minidivas

  18. C-mo September 6, 2011

    I am glad both divas are back in the game.

    Celine is an Icon and Jordin needs a bit more comfortability confidence but I really liked that song. Yes to both.
