Don't forget! If you haven't had the chance to donate yet, here's a great opportunity. Who knows you might get a celebrity on the the phone.. yeah right. LOL. But whether it's this or something else, please support our brothers and sisters in Haiti.
>>>>>>>
The two-hour concert telethon will air from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti. Among the performers are Beyonce, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake and Keith Urban.
Others participating include Denzel Washington, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and former President Bill Clinton.
An estimated 200,000 people were killed after a powerful earthquake struck Haiti last week, devastating the nation.
The telethon will also be available online for U.S. viewers on CBSNews.com beginning at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT

I just got finished watching. I tried to call in for like 40 minutes and just got in to make a donation. I talked to some lady who indicated that in appreciation for my generous donation I could speak with a celebrity. I was really suprised and wondered what fabulous person I would have the chance to speak with... Ol girl jacked me up and transferred me to line that said all circuits are busy try my call later and it hung up. LOL I was happy to give and glad that I was able to do so.  |

I heard from my e-boo through Twitter that the music sucked. Couldn't watch; in the office.

It was okay... nothing Fab. They tried to have a variety. It was all sort of low key except for Wyclef who closed the show. Jay-Z wrote a new song for Haiti with Rihanna and U2 that I liked (but that Rihanna was dry). Jennifer Hudson was good.

I don't tend to watch telethons and didn't watch this one but i hear that the ITunes songs from it are selling well. I'm glad it's motivating people to give and hope they have a good mechanism to deliver the funds to the needy.

They did a nice job of telling personal stories, pictures and playing music I think. The last photo they should almost made me cry.

I was stuck on the phone for about 40 mins trying to donate... didn't get to talk to any celeb... but I'm glad I contributed...
and yes.. it was like a MADTV skit... "Celebs mess up the Classics" '
If I ever hear the Bruce Springsteen version on We Shall overcome .. I'm going to blow my brain out... I was waiting on Billy Bob Thorton to come out and sing Wade in the Water..
and whereever tragedy strikes we can find Beyonce singing Halo....
other than that... Christina A and John Legend were great
Overalll good show for a good cause
