Simon Cowell has brought together some of the UK’s and US’ finest most popular musicians for a cover of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” for Haiti. The song feature such artists as Leona Lewis, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Take That, Kylie, Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole, Susan Boyle, Michael Buble, Mika, James Morrisson, Alexandra Burke, Miley Cyrus, James Blunt, Jon Bon Jovi, Westlife and JLS.

Not a bad song, it is not nearly as amazing as the original and will certainly not stand the ground the original did. It will still sell because of the cause behind it though. This song would have been perfect 2 years ago when everyone was comparing Mariah Carey and Leona Lewis, that’s all.
