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:
Celine Dion
Jordin Sparks:
yay
All three of these H*** cant sing.NEXT –>
Celine should have never sung this song, it’s awful !
@TGJ team: 😉
Celine’s performance is just soo beautiful, elegant and simple *chilling*
They sound great. Celine is classic.
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.

H** Hush!
Ain’t nothing touching about these SHITE performances.THE GREAT LACEFRONCE suspects that these h*** sucked d*** for a career.
Celine Dion is one of the most amazing legends ever! that was amazing.
CELINE IS LEGEND
@Lacefront h** u look just like the pic in ur gravatar I bet or worst thats why u stay hating on beautiful women such as bey. GET A LIFE AND GET A JOB
CELINE was amazing!!! :-)))
smh
They were both amazing. 61.5 million is a very good amount.
Celine dion looks hahahahah i don’t want to say.
Celine sounds like a country hillbilly. Jordan Sparks sounds terrible.
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.
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
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.
