Carrie Underwood can always be counted on when American Idol comes calling. After all, American Idol gave Carrie Underwood her calling card. So, once again, when the FOX show's special fundraiser needed a great singer, they received Carrie Underwood, American Idol and young philanthropist. Underwood sang 'Change' and charmed the audience both in the theater and on the small screen.

For sure, the newly engaged singer looked ravishing and gave the song her all. She was in good company with other big name performers such as Annie Lenox, Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, Elton John and The Black Eyed PeasDid you watch American Idol, Idol Gives Back? Did you like Carrie Underwood's performance (video below)? Who was your favorite performer?
