One World Together at Home Concert (BBC1 7:15pm)

[Smithy]

On Monday (April 7) morning during the World Health Organization's virtual press conference, WHO and Global Citizen announced they've teamed up for One World: Together at Home, an international special airing April 18 to support and applaud healthcare workers in the fight against COVID-19.

Curated in collaboration with Lady Gaga, the star-packed event features Alanis Morissette, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Burna Boy, Chris Martin, David Beckham, Eddie Vedder, Elton John, FINNEAS, Idris and Sabrina Elba, J Balvin, John Legend, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Kerry Washington, Lang Lang, Lizzo, Maluma, Paul McCartney, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Shah Rukh Khan and Stevie Wonder.

Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, alongside the cast of Sesame Street, will host the special.

We are all so very grateful to the healthcare professionals across the country and the world -- this global pandemic is a catastrophe; I'm praying for them and also those who are sick," Lady Gaga said during the virtual press conference, via live stream from her home. "I would like to send my prayers to people who are losing their jobs and having a hard time feeding themselves and their children."

Gaga also revealed that over the last seven days working with corporate leaders, tech companies and philanthropists, they've already raised a total of $35 million for the COVID-19 response. "We want to raise the money before we go on air. When we do go on air, put your wallets away, your credit cards away, and enjoy the show."

One World: Together at Home airs Saturday, April 18 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, NBC, ViacomCBS Networks, iHeartMedia and Bell Media networks and will stream on Alibaba, Amazon Prime Video, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, LiveXLive, Tencent, Tencent Music Entertainment Group, TIDAL, TuneIn, Twitch, Twitter, Yahoo and YouTube.

The BBC said we are getting some exclusive performances, I think they listed people like Ellie Goulding and Little Mix - so I’m thinking maybe the final 2 hours is edited based on region?

[Beso]

Is it ****?

Ah ok, I was just worried how much content we are getting as we have 3 or 4 dedicated presenters too lmaooo

[Smithy]

Ah ok, I was just worried how much content we are getting as we have 3 or 4 dedicated presenters too lmaooo

Tbf I’m watching it now and for every performance they have; the artists introduces it, chats a little and then there’s at least 5 minutes of people taking afterwards, they just had a video of David Beckham Skyping people. I think they’ll probably cut down the artists talking and also cut the irrel celebs for us

[Morgan.]

[Smithy]

It would have been crass for anyone to use this as a promo opportunity

[Smithy]

Except maybe Billie bc No Time to Die is lowkey relevant I guess?

[Saph]

I wouldnt have minded a live compilation of the entire BTW tracklist tbh

[Nicky91]

Common :love: :love:

i'm usually not a huge fan of rappers but that was cool that song he did, also with that message he told us pre-performance, about seeing his family more often now :flutter:

[Oliver_W]

Good on her for sorting this out :D

Though I wish there were timestamps so I could skip the **** ones...

[Strictly Jake]

Really looking forward to this

[Nicky91]

and for your interest, we dutch did do a ''charity thing'' this week, with our radio channel 3FM Serious Request for Corona, and they had gotten over 307k from dutch people which is quite decent, all of that money will go to foodbanks, medical equipment here :)

so yes we did do our share of a charity event

and we also shared few bits of One World on the news too at the 12:00 news here

[Barry.]

What did he say originally?

[Denver]

I cant say I really like it (I guess the best performances were left out)

But loved the Bill Withers tribute and Lizzos cover

[Morgan.]

Did this really need a studio and three presenters :skull:

One does well to know what tunes the Devil is playing.

[Nicky91]

Annie and her daughter Lola with there must be an angel :love: :love:


but as for what i saw on tv, pearl jam's eddie vedder :clap1:


elton john hmmm his vocals might be bit hit and miss but i do admire all of his efforts at his age to still give his all, and also great piano skills too :flutter:


Celine :facepalm: oh god that look totally does not suit her

Andrea Bocelli, you can really see him getting older too, however i do like how he sings better in english than before :)

[Morgan.]

5.4m for last night

[Smithy]

The question is how did he find a twitter fir a gay news?

Probably got retweeted onto his timeline

[michael21]

Greenman should of trademark it :bawling:

[Cherie]

Really disliked the format, and the Comic Relief style clips, I turned over

[Morgan.]

We fastforwarded to the performances as that’s what we were originally watching for! You see enough of the true stories and clips on the news and social media, I was watching this for it to be a distraction and not a reminder.

[Marsh.]

The Little Mix one made me laugh.

3 of them just singing in front of their living room curtains, or sat on the floor by the bedroom door and then one of them done up like a dog's dinner perching herself in front of her dressing room mirror with the Little Mix awards on the wall. :facepalm: :joker: Sad cow.

[Cherie]

will have to watch on catch up so we can do this

[Marsh.]

Yes, you want a programme as a distraction from Covid-19 so switch on a fundraiser put together by WHO about that very topic. :joker:

[Morgan.]

I mean I see your point but at the end of the day there were more clips of the stories and messages we see elsewhere than there were the performances (which was the main drawing point for many). Of course there’s going to be references to the current situation but not 60% of the whole show.

Should've watched the original concert itself online then and not the programme the BBC made themselves of the original event. :hee:

if u thought that was dreadful by BBC, wait until you guys see eurovision: come together with a dreadfully long interview with james newman :skull:


while rest of europe has focus on entire class of esc2020, focus on eurofans themselves (some there in a skype group performance with johnny logan - whats another year) yes we will have clips of coronacrisis included but more done in a beautiful way (with some of most emotional past esc songs handpicked for those moments)

also we got 4 hosts from empty studio, so i kinda was thinking ok maybe shine a light could look similar like that with the bbc hosts in that empty studio

but then again now is not the time to complain or moan about those sort of things :laugh:

[Morgan.]

Well I’d I’ve assumed the BBC would have shown more performances than it actually did. When they said ‘highlights from the event’ I was expecting 2 hours worth of clips with a few cutaways to the presenters sending links from home not a comic relief ripoff with 10 performances fff

[Denver]

They had to change the concept to the NHS as it wouldnt make sense to show the clips of the American doctors pr what not

[Morgan.]

And when they opened up the show with ‘put away your wallets, we don’t want any donations tonight we are just simply looking at the highlights from yesterday’s show’ I’d have assumed it would have been less of a fundraiser than it was.

[Morgan.]

They had to change the concept to the NHS as it wouldnt make sense to show the clips of the American doctors pr what not

That wasn’t my point?

[Denver]

But your point is that you didnt want the virus mentioned on a show dedicated to the virus

[Denver]

It was obvious they would have many discussions about it

[Morgan.]

But your point is that you didnt want the virus mentioned on a show dedicated to the virus

No my point was that I didn’t want the show to be completely about the virus. Sure throw a few clips in, but to have more of the show about the virus than about the concert is just random to me.

[Maxxie.]

better off just watching clips of it off youtube. I'm sure all the performances/appearances would be individually on there. Got sick of the BBC version after about half an hour and did exactly that.

[Smithy]

They had to change the concept to the NHS as it wouldnt make sense to show the clips of the American doctors pr what not

Are American doctors dealing with a different virus or smn?

[Nicky91]

Are American doctors dealing with a different virus or smn?

corona feat trump stupidity :laugh2: so yeah slightly different

[Denver]

Are American doctors dealing with a different virus or smn?

The british public are more likely to get behind the NHS then any other countries medical assistants

[Cherie]

It would have nice if they gave some thought to it’s presentation rather than wheeling out a tired comic relief type format minus the phone lines
