Helping Haiti: Everybody Hurts
Tuesday, 2 February 2010, at 20:48Simon Cowell rounded up a bunch of famous singers to record a single pillage R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts to raise money for the Haiti earthquake survivors.
Says the Daily Mail,
Opening with vocals from X Factor winner Leona Lewis, the single also includes a reunion between Robbie Williams and ex-Take That bandmates Gary Barlow and Mark Owen. Stars such as Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Cheryl Cole, Jon Bon Jovi, Michael Buble, Kylie Minogue, Susan Boyle and Westlife have also lent their time to the single.
Kudos for the efforts, but to quote his Cowell highness, “I never want to hear that song again. I cannot stand it. I’m allergic to it.”

Can’t bear the song either! I’m just feeling a bit negative about Haiti – why does something like this have to happen before we help one another?
