Me too, I just heard the Haiti charity single...Now if that represents just one small fraction of the suffering in the region then I will gladly make a donation to the DEC.

Is it every bit as terrible as you would think?My standpoint - I will start off with a donation of £100 and deduct a pound for every time I hear that song - or part thereof - over the next fortnight.
I wager that Haiti will end up owing me money.

There's the usual dreadful gravelly howling that Cowell seems to delight in -people who can just about reach a note but can't for the love of God sustain it. I don't know who they are - many are accomplished performers - but they're completely unsuited to this track. I couldn't stand more than a few seconds though, so it may pick up further in... or it may not... And yes, I could stomach 'Perfect Day', but not this. Or that last one he presided over, come to think of it.

Hell yes!I think the adopted position is start off with a £50 stake, subtract £1 every time I hear the new version, and add £5 every time I hear REM's version by way of incentive.
If there's any taste in the world I'll wind up making a decent donation to Haiti, but I suspect it'll wind up around a tenner :(
