silver Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 The only trouble with charity records is that most of them are pretty dire (with one or two honourable exceptions). I'd make a donation if Simon Cowell promised not to make a record. Seriously, if you want to donate money to the Haiti appeal, just do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 But one line of this one will be perfect I spect Simon will be glad that one of the singers can actually sing As to charity singles generally, I only half agree with Silver- they're usually pretty dire and it's probably better to give direct- but I imagine they make a lot of people- like me- give again. Incidentally, I was in the famine area when the band aid money was given out- sometimes people would sing the song to me in gratitude, which puts you off it rather. I even got to eat some of the aid flown in, as I was eating Sudanese school meals at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that Mika would lose too much if he didn't appear on the record. He would miss the chance of singing with Paul McCartney, for example, and also miss this publicity opportunity. I am glad it is not all reality stars. I'd absolutely hate if Mika was singing with C-list celebs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, if you want to donate money to the Haiti appeal, just do it. You might be surprised Silver but I agree with you. There are better ways to raise awareness & money for horrific catastrophies such as Haiti. They are historic though for other reasons & if they are going to produce one I want Mika on it - purely for my own selfish musical history reasons.

enigma Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 As far as I can make out he didn't do the telethon, but is definitely taking part in the single which is being done over the next couple of days. It says so in today's Sun, so it MUST be right!!!! True, often charity singles are not the best, as they are recorded quickly, with little rehearsal, with artists who all have different vocal ranges, and in different studios all over the place. In the case of REM's Everybody Hurts, it would be hard to improve in the original anyway. People might think it would be better if rich artists just made a quiet donation. But the main purpose of a charity single is really to keep the appeal in the news, keep people discussing it, and raise awareness. Hopefully it will do well because god knows, those people in Haiti need all the help they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaMariaPetra Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Oh WOW!Seriously Rose???????? That is so kewl!! Okay Babs & AnnaMariaPetra you can shower, wash your hair & brush your teeth 'til the cows come home.:thumb_yello::roftl: Cows?:roftl:For giving us Besos de Vaca? (btw: just call me AMP, a lot less to typ!) The only trouble with charity records is that most of them are pretty dire (with one or two honourable exceptions). I'd make a donation if Simon Cowell promised not to make a record. Seriously, if you want to donate money to the Haiti appeal, just do it. Haha. I said smt similar during the dutch fundraising show. There were politicians for answering the phone, amongst them Geert Wilders, an extreme rightwing one. I said: how much do I have to pay NOT to get him on the phone?? I just donated without calling to the tv-show. And my kids voluntarely are doing home chores for money (normally they don't get money for that) which I have to send to Haiti. I've just heard it'd be aired here on Studio B in Serbia about 2 AM CET:biggrin2: They actually said it'll be live gig.
