I'll watch it to see Bruce Springsteen & George Clooney try to make me cry, while I'm laughing hysterically. Stars coming together to help people just brings out the cynic in me.

You should give because you want to, not because Beyonce tells you to.

My money is going to the Salvation Army

I listened to this on the pulse and it was quite the special. The songs were powerful and the interludes explaining the stories were moving.

The Jay Z rap was one of the only things that didn't seem to fit in well.

Yeah it was very moving! I too listened on the Pulse as I was out and about so I couldn't sit in front of the TV. In fact I streamed the Pulse while I was at the gym working out and listened.

They did a very good job! I hope all the money raised goes to where it is truly needed.

The money WILL go to where it's truly needed. I gave a bit more than I can really afford right now, but I know that I'll soon recover.
