Anyone watching the Hope for Haiti now telethon?

<p>I totally fell in love with Matthew Morrisons/Justin T.'s performance! (notice I too, put Morrison first - blew me away!) . That was gorgeous!</p>

<p>I am an Anderson Cooper fan, but still, I thought he was truly genuine with all the children on air with him tonight.</p>

<p>I missed Morrison/Timberlake while walking the dog. I guess there will be a link someplace. I was hoping Cheyenne Jackson would show up.</p>

<p>The Morris/Timberlake performance was my favorite of the show tonight. I never heard of Matt Morris until tonight. I did a little bit of googling and discovered that he started out on the Mickey Mouse Club when he was a kid (same of Justin). I also discovered that Justin has signed him to his label. Now I want to go out and buy his album: When Everything Breaks Open.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think it’s “Morris” not “Morrison”. :)</p>

<p>Yes, it was Matt Morris not Matthew Morrison. Matt is Gary Morris’ son. You can find numerous clips of Matt on youtube.</p>

<p>Teri, I like Dave Matthews, too, mainly because I love songs that tell a story and many of his do.</p>

<p>Yes, I knew it wasn’t the guy from Glee but typed Morrison anyway. Matt Morris was one of the Mickey Mouse clubbers too so, counting Aguilera, there were three there tonight.</p>

<p>For those of you who enjoyed Matt tonight, do a search on youtube for his version of Poor Wayfaring Stranger. It’s hauntingly beautiful.</p>

<p>My husband talked me into watching a movie right after the Sheryl Crow, et al performance but I found Coldplay, Dave Matthews and Neil Young and Justin Timberlakes performance on youtube just now. I’m another Dave Matthews fan. I also really like the current hit, “Funny the way it is”. It struck a cord with me the first time I heard it.</p>

<p>Stevie Wonder still has a great voice, and his arrangement and backup singers were wonderful. Sheryl Crow fantastic too, Taylor Swift is so young and fresh (new high def TV suddenly shows it’s best to be 17 on the big screen), but she is lacking in the voice department. Madonna didn’t really need those punk gloves–it’s not 1988 anymore.</p>

<p>Will they sell a CD eventually?</p>

<p>Stevie is the MAN!</p>

<p>Everything will be available on itunes with the proceeds going to the fundraiser.</p>

<p>It’s kind of looking like you have to buy the whole CD - it’s still not fully up, but I was hoping to just buy a couple of songs I really liked. The CD will not be expensive - something like $7.88 (?), but I’m a stickler about not having songs I don’t want on my Ipod. Guess I can just delete some.</p>

<p>I had never heard of Matt Morris before last night, and I was so impressed with him that I checked youtube for videos. I sent one to my D, who was blown away. What a great “discovery!”</p>

<p>kelsmom, Matt has been mainly a songwriter for many years. His songs have been covered by many of his friends (some of whom are famous) and others, who have had great success with them. Matt’s performances were usually just small venues and events but I agree that he’s a treasure. He’s always had that beautiful pure tone to his voice. Check youtube for his dad Gary Morris as Jean Valjean in Les Mis singing Bring Him Home. You’ll see where Matt gets his talent. :)</p>

<p>I enjoyed hallelujah immensely. Of course, I could listen to covers of that song every day. I had just seen Matt and Timberlake do bloodline on an afternoon show, after seeing Matt on a late-night show. I can’t believe I’m going to say this outloud but his duets with Matt have made me a Justin Timberlake fan (or at least not a hater). Who knew? </p>

<p>I also enjoyed what appeared to be Neil and Dave’s first take. :wink: </p>

<p>BTW, I’m a big Dave Matthews fan, too and Neil is among the all-time greats.</p>

<p>Did you happen to catch Jimmy Fallon doing Neil doing “Pants on the Ground?” ;)</p>

<p>curmudgeon, here’s another JT “hater” turned fan based on this duet alone. I too adore “hallejah” but their version was as captivating as I have heard yet. Loved it.</p>

<p>kelsmom, that Fallon thing was absolutely brilliant. Spooky, even. He doesn’t just get the voice, he gets the whole gestalt. </p>

<p>curiouser, I’ve become a JT fan, against my better judgment, from his SNL stints. I don’t particularly care for the style of music he typically makes, but I have to admit he’s a serious talent, not just a heartthrob.</p>

<p>Just downloaded the music off itunes. You have to buy all of it but I figure I can delete something I didn’t care for.
I thought Madonna was amazing…although I hadn’t seen her in a while and she looked plastic surgery scary…
I would pay the $7.99 just for Jennifer Hudson’s Let it Be. I thought she was the best of the bunch and I am not a big Jennifer fan.</p>

<p>^ $7.99 sounds like a good deal… but I don’t have an I tunes thingy…Will there be a “Zune” version? Any way to buy the video portion?</p>
