Speaking to a global audience of tens of millions, George Clooney, the prime mover behind 'Hope for Haiti Now' described the earthquake that hit the Carribean island on January 12 as 'a tragedy that reaches across all borders, all boundaries...the Haitian people need our help. They need to know they are not alone.'

A stellar cast of musicians and actors, performing in three locations, included Madonna, Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay and Jennifer Hudson. In London, Jay-Z, Bono, The Edge and Rihanna performed 'Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)' a song written and produced within the last week.

Original Song

Wonderful song! At least some artists can come together for a good cause and write an 'original song' unlike the remake of We are the World....On another note, its a bit strange to not have Bono out the front as much and taking a back seat in this song... U2 Come to Australia!!!!

Ensemble ensemble pour Haïti !

Good song, great chorus. Great riffs by Edge. As for Bono, we unfortunately cannot hear much of his awesome voice... what matters here anyway is to help out Haïti, un pays détruit !...

bad

I don't like Jay-Z at all and I don't like Rihanna. So if you can't here Bono you'll understand that this song means nothing to me.

love it

I wish you could hear Bono a bit more, but is a great song! I usually don't like Rihanna very much either, but she sounded really good in this.

Stranded

Amazing song, love the meaning behind it, but I really wish I could hear Bono's voice more..... Will still order it, it's for a really good cause!

Good Job U2

A great tragedy, a great cause, a good event, a very good song. A poor mix on the live performance (where was Bono), a better mix on the Mp3

are some missing the point??

The point should be that all these rock,rollers, and rappers got together in moments' time to contribute to Haiti. And look at what happened....the lines were "jammin" with calls; I could not even get through to donate during the show-they raised funds, showed their love and support! Some insist on focusing on the songs themselves and how maybe this wasn't their usual fanfare, or "cup of tea"...I'm sorry, you are missing the whole idea behind it. Tell me, could you of done the same or better? I think not. Bravo to Edge, Bono, Rihanna, and of corse Jay Z for a wonderful song and a wonderful contribution to humanity!

Not gonna leave you

Mixed Feeling

I love the song and the thought behind it to help out.. but Rihanna singing, not really. Jay-z may want to try performing without Rihanna sometime. The Edge and Bono and Jay-Z were enough...

More Bono less Rihanna please

I am a die hard U2 fan but this performance was very disappointing for me. Rhianna's mic was turned up too loud and overpowered Bono's voice. I liked the performance Bono and Jay Z did at the Brandenburg Gate and think this one would have been better without Rhianna. It's still a great cause and I donated money and will still download the song! My heart goes out for to the people of Haiti! Especially the Children who lost their parents. God bless!

a winning combination of rock stars...a

Its so sad the earthquake in Haiti and people still under the rumble alive. They just found a girl alive after all these days because she was in the bathroom and when the building collapsed she was able to drink water from the bathroom. Such a powerful message being sent....but how many will be left stranded under the fallen buildings? Its heartbreaking. But we are with them and they will rebuild and improve their infrastructure. We must give them and ourselves HOPE. I watched all of the "Hope for Haiti" telethon and was very moved by it. thank you

Stranded

Now I heard the Downloaded version of the song it is brilliant. I have bought the whole CD. It is all quite good. Stranded the best though.

Stranded

Beautiful...how sad some "fans" are complaining about not enough Bono, this wasn't about Bono...his presence along with Edge was more than enough! they were part of something bigger!! this wasn't about artists proclaiming themselves, this was about helping those suffering souls in Haiti!...I love this song, it is beautiful, in every sense of the word! thank you Bono and Edge!
