Wow, just seen the new video put together by Simon Cowell for the Haiti fund. The song, Everybody Hurts, which is one of my all time favourites anyway, sung by various stars. Put the words with the powerful images from the aftermath of the earthquake, and it blows your mind. I cried all the way through it. |

My OH heard which song it was this morning and thought it was the wrong one for this. I think Cowell got it spot on. |

Oh sorry :) Well not properly cross obviously, just irritated. Why did they have to make such a bad cover (have you heard Robbie Williams' terrible singing in it??) of such a good song when they could have just given far more than they will ever raise between them? Publicity that's why. |

I agree with you Uggers I cant stand the song and its been tagged on too almost every video ever made for charity. |

That's true Uggers, but ultimately, it will raise much needed funds, and we dont know they haven't given their money too. |

Teresa but how much more powerful would it have been if SImon Cowell had said he was going to give x amount and was going to ask every overpaid footballer to do the same and every bod who got paid x amount to go in Celebrity Big Brother and so on and so on - that would have been a much more impressive act, raised much more revenue for Haiti and been a better message for the world at large instead of mullering an REM tune and drawing in gullible starstruck kids and guilty adults |

I still think the images with the words of the song make a pretty compelling appeal. |
