it just seems a bit half-assed. It's like "oh here I fancy being in the public eye, use my already-saturated and well-covered song". (see: Use Somebody, Firework, Make You Feel My Love)

It's just lazy. But noone ever has the courage to say this because it's all for charity as if that's an excuse to just roll out any old crap, that has absolutely NOTHING to do with this cause. Are earthquake victims going to be uplifted by GaGa telling them it's alright to be gay? I can hardly see them getting on down to "Only Girl (in the World)" and Cee-Lo blaring out "IT'S OK!" is just a bit silly. But I guess if it stops covers of "Everybody Hurts" then it's a good thing.
