Last night the telethon in support of Haiti aired on like EVERY network. I've already donated $10 via text to the Red Cross and after last night I donated again to hopeforhaitinow.org. A lot of celebs came out to man the phones, share information about the disaster in Haiti and to perform. There were some INCREDIBLE performances last night. A few that stuck out were Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris [an artist on JT's Tennman Records whose kind of AMAZING] performing a soul-stirring version of "Hallelujah". Jennifer Hudson performed a cover of The Beatles' "Let It Be" and lastly my boo, Jay-Z, Bono and Rihanna performed the song "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)" a charity single in support of Haiti. There were other great performances, but these stuck out to me. All of the live performances will be available via an album, January 25 on iTunes. I definitely plan on purchasing it.
The death toll in Haiti has crossed 111,000 people. Search efforts for survivors have been called off. I read today on CNN.com that a mother gave her daughter urine in hopes of keeping her alive. If you haven't donated to the relief effort in Haiti, I urge you to do so...
