The song is dreadful as it is, and couldn't be any more inappropriate. And its clearly just another vehicle for Simon's little puppets so we all think "aww aren't they being nice and singing for Haiti" and then go out and buy their next single

Its alright, not as amazing as I thought it would be. You can tell it was all recorded at different places. Leona sings most of it... its alright, I am going to buy it anyway.

LQ radio rip here (http://bit.ly/cB9PJC)

a bit meh really, there's far too many people IMO, everyone gets so little, some only have two words or so, poor Joe just sings "Hold on" in the background

If it's tacky and badly produced, can't see it doing too well.

As for this it's a pretty shoddy attempt with no real emotion. Just seems proper rushed.

Kylie Minogue is my fave on the list. I am not buying the song as it is to boast Simon Cowell's ego. Would of much prefered the Hope For Haiti Concert on CD then this tbh.

Hope For Haiti Now Lineup > This Lineup

Its terrible and I still find it really inappropriate. Its almost as if the lyrics cheapen their pain if 'everybody hurts'.

Shaun

like James Blunt, Morrison, Gary Barlow, SuBo, Kylie and Robbie's bits...the rest is a bit :\

Really poor on the whole though.

The only way they could possibly be better is if they were under the rubble in Haiti.

It's good, not great. Simon and co have covered better songs before, but hey, they didn't have much time.

Why the hell would you pick this song?

Its one of the most depressing songs ever, no wonder Life Line love it.
Surley they would want to put a smile on the people of Haiti's Faces, not make them cry even more.

When the vocalists sound like a strangled cat, I doubt it will pull too many heart strings.
