Hmmm
Most of the acts displayed a bit of humility and tried to remind the crowd what the concert was about.*
I think at the very least it created some good feeling for a day, which is better than nothing.

* Robbie Williams and Ms Dynamite excepted, and Mariah Carey disqualified for going too far.

Mariah Carey deserves an award.
At the very least, she should get an entry in the OED, as the definition of patronising.

[edit: Bonus points to David Beckham, for saying that it was the most historical day he'd ever been involved in.]

Mariah Carey
should be torn apart by rabid dogs, IMHO. she certainly should not ever be allowed to breed, she sneaked in the gene pool whilst the lifeguard's back was turned as it is..

Rabid dogs would be too quick
I favour grumpy hedgehogs with grapefruit spoons.

is a better idea. blunt grapefruit spoons at that.

I see her as a female Michael Jackson -

Given to making patronising statements about subjects/people she knows very little about

Over-inflated sense of self-worth

Makes fucking hideous music

I don't know if MC has a penchant for young boys or not. It wouldn't surprise me.

Her set did have an awful lot in common
with the MJ set that upset Jarvis Cocker. I only kept on watching as it seemed as though her dress was about to ride up.

I reckon that if he were really committed and not just a a publicity whore
He'd donate all of his decadent western money to Africa and fuck off there.

I had to laugh
at the cash in DVD of Live Aid that I saw advertised on TV not long after...

They called it "The biggest musical event of all time"...erm not anymore it's not!

Ah,
they mean it was the biggest event of all time at the time, see?

edit: the money from the DVD sales still goes to the charity though, doesn't it? Not really a cash-in.

I thought that Sir Bob
didn't want our feckin' money, and that we should all shove our donations up our arses? Afterall, it's money raised on the back of the poorest people on earth, and therefore dirty money, isn't it? Or is it only dirty money when e-bay offer it to him?
( monster munch person, man, woman... camera... TV?, Mon 4 Jul 2005, 10:19, archived)

You would assume that it does
But there was absolutely no mention in the advert of how much goes to charity, normally they make a big deal of that sort of thing, so no mention of it sounds a bit strange - i would guess some of it does but not much
