WOW.
only an hour or so of the 8 hour broadcast of the live 8 concerts all over the world have been shown here and it's already been absolutely amazing. richard ashcroft and coldplay playing bittersweet symphony!?! AHH that was so freaking awesome. it's a great cause. i already have the banner for makepovertyhistory.com which is tied in with the live 8 cause, and my mom said i can order a bracelet for it. if you don't know why the live 8 concerts are going on, it's to ensure that the leaders of the better-off countries who in a few days are going to discuss how much money will be given to the cause will make their money count and give as much as they can to help. some acts that are involved are: coldplay paul mccartney u2 the who pink floyd kanye west destiny's child alicia keys mariah carey audioslave jay-z the killers dave matthews band good charlotte justin timberlake madonna motely crue rob thomas lauryn hill sarah mclachlan kaiser chiefs and many many more. there are 9 stages throughout the world in america, the UK, canda, japan, south africa, france, germany, italy, and russia. discuss! |

Dude, that duet with Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft was fantastic. I like how Coldplay added their little touches without taking away from the Verve-ness of the song. Kanye was really good too. I never knew he had such great stage presence.
I have the makepovertyhistory band on my xanga too, but I really want the ONE bracelet. It says they sell them at the Body Shop stores in the UK, but I wonder if they sell them at the ones in the US. Eh, I can always order the 10-pack online. The whole concept of Live 8 is awesome. While Live Aid was great, I dunno, something about this time around seems like it's better than the other. Edit: OMG, I love "Like A Prayer!!!" |

What sucks about Live 8 is that it is only to raise awareness...not MONEY. The previous Live Aid raised millions of dollars for the cause, but Live 8 only raises awareness? Like starving children in Africa can get food on awareness. And the celebrities get gift baskets? Come on, what is the use of awareness only?

PINK FLOYD! WOOT! They got back together for it. Kick butt groups. woot.
But it's true. Awareness does nothing. Money is something they need. People might send money if they knew it was going to the kids, not the people who are head of it buying these million dollars homes and cars. Eh. Warped soceity. |

I agree with rockstermonkey though. Awareness won't make the children in Africa stop dying. What's the point of snapping your fingers with Will Smith? A child is dying every three seconds and we're wooping it up in Philly, Berlin, London, Paris, Toronto, and Rome. Do most of the people at these concerts really care?

they're all there to pressure those in charge of the G8 countries to give more aid. and the bracelets etc. , all that stuff dealing with live 8, goes towards africa.
they cut off the killers :[ i wish i was in london right now... |

Holy effing crap, Jay-Z and Linkin Park were off the meter! Fantastic performance.
To those who think awareness means nothing: Education is the first step into creating a solution. |
