U2 what a suprise lol

oh thanks Mark, says it will be airing at 1AM Saturday morning on MTV live!

haha I know Joe! All the acts that perform will be releasing songs on iTunes the next day, proceeds of which will go to Haiti [obviously LOL].

Thing is, Band Aid bascially turned into all the acts promoting themselves, if you get too big names there, people forget the cause, so these things are good and bad really

Also heard rumours of the Fugess reforming for this.....

Anyway.
I heard Cheryl Cole might be releasing a single to raise funds!

little bit on the fugees posibly reforming for help Haiti...not sure if it will be at this benefit gig or not though. :)

I heard she's one of a group of Simon's friends/artists that are coming together to release a single. I think it's separate from this, still should be good!

Simon Cowell just confirmed he's putting together a charity single so i'd say she will be involved :)

Great stuff.

Shakira and Jennifer Hudson have also been confirmed.

Just closing this for a second to clean up.

Right all done,all nonense comments and anything quoting it removed.

Thank you Laura, shame on those ruining my thread. I'M JUST TRYING TO GIVE BACK TO THE WORLD ah\

Well said Chewy. It surprises me how inhumane people can be. It's disgusting.

Can't wait for more Cheryl.

Ohhhhhhh Shakira, could be worth a watch O.o

My brother went to Haiti back in the summer for like 2 months I think,he was teaching little kids and building as well. He said it was awful back then,so I can't even imagine it now.

exactly thats what I was trying to say in my post, it was one of the worst in the western world before the earthquake and now i cant imagine how theyre going to even get near to getting back to what they were at 2 weeks ago :(

I hope a lot of money is raised from all this, but I also hope the aid can get into the country soon as well

I might go out there, i'm not doing much else with my life :S

Got this from wiki (Yeah I know its wiki and all but still)

Performing artists include Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Sting, Bono, The Edge, Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Keith Urban, Sheryl Crow, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z, Rihanna, Shakira, and Stevie Wonder.

you know thats pretty much the same for me, at least i could be doing something like that with my life instead of wasting it here.....

I have the money to as well, i'm looking up aid things, but can't find any at the moment

yeah I saw it earlier but didn't bother posting cos I couldn't find any sources for the ones other than who I mentioned in the OP.
