When you see this many people come together,with such quick timing,to participate in an event like this it can make you smile in the face of tragedy. Tonight’s telethon for earthquake relief in Haiti was by all accounts a success,as it was able to entice Americans,and the world around,to donate time and money to the relief aid. And if there is one thing I know is that people are do not seem to have an abundance of time or money nowadays,so its always inspiring to see something pulling people together to assist in whatever little things we can do to bring some semblance of normalcy and health back to those battling in Haiti. Celebrities were on hand to field your donor calls and rouse interest into donating to this very worthy cause. And if that wasn’t enough,George Clooney and MTV had a stellar line up of musicians to drive you into donating to the funds via telephone or the web.

Personally,Justin Timberlake’s and Matt Morris’version of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah was haunting and beautiful and reminded me what Timberlake did best. You can view this performance here and purchase the track from iTunes tomorrow morning.

Other artists who showcased their talents for the greater good was Jennifer Hudson with a soulful version of “Let it Be”,Jay-Z,who teamed up with U2 and Rhianna,Sheryl Crow,Neil Young,Dave Matthews,Shakira and Coldplay,who managed to bring a bit of the rock to this cause. Again,you can check out the performances here and will be able to purchase the tracks tomorrow,as well as pre-order the DVD. And all proceeds go straight to relief work in Haiti.
