Tonight (01/22/10), in an effort to raise money for the victims of the Earthquakes in Haiti, a simulcast telethon entitled “Hope for Haiti Now” was broadcasted that featured entertainers like: Wyclef Jean, George Clooney, Jay-Z, Madonna, Jennifer Hudson, Julia Roberts, Rihanna and Mary J. Blige. During the 2 hour event, Beyonce’ performed a special rendition of her International hit song “Halo.” Chris Martin of Coldplay played the piano in this acoustic version in which she declared to Haiti that “we can see your Halo.”
You can check out all of the performance from The Hope for Haiti telethon in HD at www.youtube.com/user/NewOfficialVideos.
UPDATE: Friday night’s celebrity packed Haiti telethon raised more than $57 million for the relief efforts in the earthquake hit county. You can still DONATE!!!

I liked the Beyonce performance but the “Haiti I can see your halo” was borderline cheesy1
i have several relatives who were also vicitimized by the earthquake in Haiti. thank God that they were not seriously hurt. i hope and pray that Haiti would be able to recover soon from this disaster.
