Beyonce, Fergie, and Rihanna got the most burn.
is miley singing the chorus i cant tell where her voice is… :(
yay!! Miley
11?
Y are all of you excited that Miley’s in it. She’s the only artist on here that can’t sing haahh.
it sounds like Miley is doing mostly and most of backgrounds and sings like two lines alone
mileys the chorus and the voice right before it.
who invited Miley? that totally ruined it for me
lol

I will buy it!
I love Carrie Underwood and Beyounce, but I could care less about Miley…
less fergie, rihanna and miley and more Leona Lewis, she could out sing them all
Hey this is surprisingly listenable. Good for all these ladies for lending their voices! I’ll be buying this for the cause.
Thanks Jared!
i cant even hear miley =[
loveeee this
i barely heard milty..good thing because sh sucks so bad..i heard beyonce and rihanna..they were real good
Hey, if anyone cares, there is a christian rock band called Leeland, and that’s the cover of their new CD…it’s called oppisite way.
I found it strange.
omgsh! you guys are freaking weird! you only want to hear this song because of MILEY! are you serious .. every single singer up there can outsing her on anything !!!!!
but the song is amazing! carrie sounds great!
beyonce sounds fantastic and so does carrie and mary. great song
miley is hardly in it at all. :[ mileys the only reason why i am actually watching this concert thingy, but miley deserves a bigger part in it
A lot less Beyonce, Rihanna, and Fergie and way more Leona.
Awww… People mad because Beyonce sings the most on the song. And Rihanna and Fergie stands out the most after her. All the kiddies are hyped over miley but you can’t even hear her voice. She’s just singing in the background, being drowned out by all the grown women who can actually sing.
I can hear Beyonce, Rihanna, Fergie, and Carrie. I agree that Leona Lewis needs way more vocals, her voice is phenomenal.

I loved Carrie’s part. I wish she had more vocals! Jessica Simpson wishes she would be asked to sing on a song with these people.
Miley only does background vocals, doesnt she?
I hear Beyonce, Carrie, Rihanna and Leona.
I can hear Beyonce, Carrie, Rihanna, Natasha, and Leona. But I can’t really hear Miley. Either that or that I don’t recognize her voice in here.
Im so pissed off! Ciara seriously got jipped…she has the smallest line (its not even a sentence). Her voice would have really added a angelic and smooth tone to this song….Oh well I wont support this crap now that I know they gave ciara such a small part. She was the only reason I wanted to hear it. Well fantasy ride is coming out in december so I guess I have to wait till them for some new songs.

love carrie~
AWSOME!
GO MILEY!
34 / 35 you’re not going to support such a cause because a singer you like was gipped? What an insensitive pig. Ciara can’t carry a tune with a crane. Miley sings better than her.
Anyway, this is a great song for a geat cause.
It’s actually LeAnn Rimes.. not LeeAnn. This is an awesome song though.
ummm!! this song is on youtube!!!
it is amazing, but y did they have to put miley there
beyonce and other people sound amazing on there
Get rid of the one-named wonders.
Fergie= a man
Ashanti= hasbeen
Mariah= screecher
Ciara= oh the 1,2 step girl? ok…
Miley= ew. horrible voice.
More Carrie, Rihanna and Leona. There def didnt need to be all these people on here, I cant even hear Leanne, ashanti, natasha, keyshia, or mariah….
I’m not a fan of any of these ladies, but I am quite sure they would be ashamed of seeing their fans go at each other’s throat while they are trying their best to support cancer victims. It’s a great cause and hats of to the singers for participating.
isnt miley singing after rihanna?
actually miley has little part and she s worst of all singers here i liked first part with beyonce and carrit it s great song i must say but rihanna carrie beyonce have most cause rihanna and carrie sang backround voices i saw parts and thats cool love them it s great song i m going to buy it on itunes yeah leona should have more and miley wasnt that good i cant wait to listen it live if they do it ever i hope
I feel sorry for people like Melissa Etheridge, Sheryl Cow, Beyonce and Mary J. Blige who are on the same album as talentless hacks like Miley Cyrus and Rihanna.
I love fergie’s parts! in particular the last! she’s the best!
i couldnt hear miley at all. :(
Dang can we all agree that this is a good cause
They gave the most parts to the best singers
No one wants to hear miley, ciara or ashanti
Bey part is the best
She could have sanged the whole song for me
I DON’T HEAR ANY MILEY AT ALL!!! WE WANT MILEY!!!
I DON’T HEAR ANY MILEY AT ALL!!! WE WANT MILEY!!!
51????
:)
yay!!
i really didnt hear miley, and no offence to her but they really should not have put her up with artists like mariah and beyonce and mary j blige. she doesnt have a strong enough voice thats why they didnt give her a big part!
its a good song, and they got amazing singers on it. I hear Miley perfectly, they made her sound like a little girl. I wish they had more Ashanti, but thats not the point. Its part of a cancer benefit. Doesn’t matter how much time so and so gets on the song, because it’s all for the same cause.
awsome..
but u need more MILEY!!
54??
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
MORE MILEY!
LOL 55?
Why is Miley here? She is simply awful, I cannot stand her. Whenever I here her songs on the radio I want to kill. She’s taking money, and promotion from REAL artists. UGHH! She makes me so mad, and I’m glad that I only hear her wretched voice only like 3 times, the others are way better, and can actually sing.
PS- I love how Mariah does her high pitched thing, it’s so funny!
LESS MILEY
LESS MILEY
LESS MILEY
LESS MILEY
LESS MILEY
LESS MILEY
See isn’t that annoying?
Wow, sounds great! Love Beyonce n Leona most on it, I personally really don’t like Miley anyway so theres no surprise I don’t like her in the song, but i kinda feel Fergie spoils it… In my opinion!
and yes i know I spelt hear incorrectly, so say something about it I dare you
This is such a great song and it’s good to see these singers doing it for such a great cause:)
Nice song but who in the world put miley cyrus in this she cant even really sing you can tell her voice is soo digitized…other than that i like the song.
miley cyrus is the worst one on here you cant even hear her!!! Mary J. stole the song lol but everyone else was great too and im glad i couldnt here miley and you all who say you only wanna here miley are mean cuz this song isnt about the singers its about helping breast cancer which my mom had!!
MILEY IS BEARLY IN THERE! AND IF MILEY IS NOT IN THERE I HATE IT! I LOVE MILEY CYRUS!
how can you say that you hate the song because you don’t hear miley much- she does sing in the song, which also includes 14 other singers. this song is to raise awareness & money for making cancer history, & hopefully not for each artist’s individual success. think about the message & point of the song, please.
who care’s who is on it and who is not the point is that it is a stand against cancer. Who sings what shouldn’t matter you have to think beyond that, the fact that all these women are banding together to help the world get one step closer to finding a cure against cancer. Think about that and nothing else.
Miley can sing
if she couldnt how come shes got like 4 or 5 CDs and people actually buy them !!
MARIAH CAREY AND MARY ARE THE BEST oh Don’t forget Bee lool
miley’s singing the ‘if the heart…’ da da da, so on part and alot of background. i like this song but i think leona should’ve had a bigger part…her vocals are phenomenal! great song!!!!!!!!
LOL
These people are so smart.
They got people who can actually sing to do most the work, then told miley should sing a bit too. Only really, they’re just using her name to get more sells. They know anything with “Cyrus” sells 1,000s. I tip my hat off to them!
I get a pretty darn good song, millions of dollars go to a charity because of Miley’s name AND I don’t have to hear her!
Carrie and Beyonce are the best by far– but I also love rianna and mary j blige! It is a great song– love it! And a great cause!
Miley just sounds too young and out of place to be in this song with these great divas! lol no offense miley fans.. she is just not right for this groups of A-list singers.
My girl Rihanna smokes it as usual– but boy does Ms. Carrie Underwood sound incredible! She has a very versatile voice— not just a country singer at all. She works the r & b sound on this and smokes most of the others- except for beyonce and riri, who were brilliant as usual.
Im so glad shontelles gonna be performing.. i might have to check it out
Amazing song.
I’m also a skeptical about Miley Cyrus presence in here. Alicia Keys, Christina or Kelly Clarkson would be, by far, better choices.
In respect of the singers who make it best in this theme, I believe that:
»Beyonce has too many lines and she’s so into her element that I believe she could have done better;
»Rihanna is good, once again surprising;
»Fergie has also many lines and her hip-hop based interpretative style is a little different than most others but I think she played well her role… Still, I was waiting for more…
»Miley is a lot off the mood and backgrounded. If she’s good or bad, I can barely tell… Same happens with Ciara, Ashanti and others… But all this is so comprehensible…
»Blige is so tham briliant. It’s the most felt interpretation you can have…
»Leona is amazing. A little showing off and disconnected from the spirit of the song but still outstanding. that’s the advantage of a golden voice in it’s best…
»»»»»But it’s MAriah who takes this song to another lever. So powerfull and faithfull to what the lyric demands… Brilliant MIMI!

I want more Shontelle. I love her voice
i love shontelle!
the song is really great. and everyone sounds fantastic. (including miley: for u haters) i dont understand why almost everyone on this thing insulted miley. when melissa ethridge came in the middle of the song and sang one of the most horrible notes ive ever heard on a song. and everyone has the part that they needed and that fit there voice. considering that Sheryl and Melissa actually had breast cancer. and ciara wasnt all that great but she sounded good. i have to say mary j. tore it up in a good way. and so did carrie and sheryl and beyonce has way too many parts in the song and definitely doesnt has the voice. and miley cyrus has a very good voice for her age.
Mariah is one of, if not the, best vocalists in history. Why doesn’t she have more presence? She could outsing all of the others put together!! This song was pieced together. NONE of these girls recorded together, they all sang seperately at different times in different studios. I am anxious to see how they pull it off live, together!
this song is amazing. the lyrics and singers are awesome! im definitly buying the song.
miley was only in there b/c they know she will attract the yungins and sell some more units. if i was any of the other singers, i would have been insulted to have to do a song with her wannabe voice; ashanti is a hasbeen so she needs the publicity; mary j. & mariah rocked no surprise; beyonce sounded great but didn’t need such a big part; carrie melissa sheryl natasha & leann were fab; rihanna SURPRISINGLY good;ciara didn’t even hear her; leona needed a bigger part; fergie no comment. they shoulda replaced fergie, rihanna, miley, ciara, ashanti wth alicia keys, kelly clarkson, celine dion, pink, christina aguiellara, whitney houston then they would have had the best of the best
These are all singers with real talent in themselves, EXCEPT for miley cyrus.
WTH, just because she steals poor parents money because of their kids going to her lame concerts and buying her ugly ass clothing, doesn’t mean she gets to be on a charity single with all these amazing singers…
Note to ppl: You can’t hear miley because there abt 10 other amazingly talented singers and divas on this track. Did you really expect to hear her, the only part she sings is the back up for Rihanna on the second chorus (Get Up, Don’r Let Up). On a brighter note, Beyonce, Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Melissa Etheridge, Mary J. Blige, and Mariah Carey (to an extent) really shine on this record and show why they are so talented. Highlights of this record is Beyonce & Sheryl harmonizing the 1st chorus. Mariah’s & Leona’s harmonizing whistles. Beyonce’s high note into a run at the end of the chorus. Seeing Rihanna’s voice keep up with all these powerhouses. She held her own in the sense that her voice was perfectly fit on this record. I give her major Kudos for this. Meliss Etheridge’s ad libs are amazing on the 2nd chorus. I really like this record, 15 FEMALE Artists putting aside competition to come together for an AMAZING CAUSE. People should really watch the telethon and try to make donations. So many people out there, want to give up when they find out they have cancer, and this song is amazing inspiration. This next comment might be nihilistic and offensive (sorry in advance), but if I was a cancer patient, I would put this song as my alarm song to keep me going. It’s really good.
I have one more comment. Are we serious, people won’t support this song because there favorite artists “didn’t get no burn”. Like seriously, get off ya’ll high horses. Your so concerned about what parts people got, instead WHY THEY RECORDED the song in the first place. Ciara wouldn’t be able to compete with the rest of the voices in this song, which is probably why L.A. Reid & Babyface saw it fit to give her back up like they did to Miley Cyrus & Ashanti. Like come on! I love Leona, and she didn’t get that much parts either. It’s really a DAMN SHAME with the comments on here. It really shows that society and overall CONSCIENCE is coming to a downfall.
wooaahh!!
the best soong very nice…
Why do u all hate miley plus why do u all luv her?
she is a good singer but shes not the only girl on the single .
Plus who listens to christian music

loser
haha,miley cirus is a ******, she cant sing worth ****,i honestly think my girl mariah should have some more lines, same with rhianna, beyonce, ciara, leona, and way less fergie,definatly no miley.
i agree that miley is really not needed in the song..
they should have given mariah and leona lewis a bit more to sing beyonce has sung the most of the song very unfair,, mary j blige was actually good..

this song is so inspirational, and some of the greatest female artist ever are coming together for such a great cause…..don’t miss the special tonight at 8pm…..Mary J. rocks in this song, Fergie is also pretty powerful, but they all sound great!
THIS IS AWSOME! i love that i cant hear miley she is so BAD!
THIS IS AWSOME! i love that i cant hear miley she is so BAD!
I really thought that Mary J. Blige took the song to a whole new level. It started off great with Beyonce and Carrie Underwood, but when it was Mary J. Blige’s turrn to sing, she dominated. But when i say dominated, I don’t mean that she overppowered eveyone else, she just stood out by adding a liitle more emotion to the song.
The song is about standing up to cancer, fight back, and being proactive. Millions of people have died in the fight against cancer, so i think that in the performance some of the artists were too focused sounding good and standing out.
Mary j. just did her usual, she brought her emotions and fighting spirit to the song; she was just being herself.
All in all, everyone did good, but Mary j., Mariah, Carrie underwood, and Natash really brought the emotion. Beyonce did good, but i thought that she could of added more to the performance. She was too concerned about lookiing good in the center.
okay i love the song they all sing good but why do some of you guys worry about of who sing more or less the goos thing is what they stand up for
mILEY isnt even dat great. some of u lil girls need to grow da hell up . . . .
man i love this song like anything. but miley kinda wrecked her whole part - she sounds too kiddish. and fergie.
i loved rihanna in it
alriight listen… its a good cause who cares about the singers?u?? i happen to be a HUGE miley fan and i LOVE her but even if i wasnt its for cancer, and you shouldnt be putting down the people because there trying to help sick people so you know what if you hate miley get over yourself cause i love her and she was great and she deserves a much bigger part cause she is a hell of a lot better anyway.
yeah I’m with 11, MILEY CIRUS IS FAKE UGLY AND UNTALENTED, BUT I LOVE THE SONG, BUT SHE TOTALLY RUINS IT!!!!!! I HATE HER I LOVE CARRIE U.!!!!!!!!!
I hate Miley Cyrus but the thing is, this song is to raise money for people who have cancer and all you people care about is if you can hear miley or not????? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????? I personally do hate Miley,but give it a break!!!!!! THink about the song!!!!! and what it means…. Also, this song is amazing and just because STUPID Miley Cyrus is in it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t buy it!!!!!!! k? So STOP talking bout her and Start talking about the songs MEANING!!! and um…. Yeah you all are right about her ruining the song ;) just so ya know
-Missy
this song is amazing!
but really take a look at the lyrics and what it says, its much more than just for cancer
im all for the donation of course!….but this is a great song when you just think the world sucks and there is no way out
i listen to it a lot during the day!
its a sad song that gets you smiling
…instead of commenting about how horrible or how great the singers are, think about the big picture….CANCER!!!!! and all those who are affected by it
MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE ONES THAT ARE HURTING
much love
dude all the singers were GREAT except for miley cyrus she killed it with her nasal vocals!! but i guess great purpose just next time they should not think of miley to sing with a whole bunch of great vocalists!!
who cares if u cant hear miley.. and who cares who sounds the best. these ladies are getting together to do a good thing and support a good cause. isnt that a good enough reason to listen to the song.. not just because “miley’s” in it!?
therefore.. i totally agree with the last 3 posts. atleast some ppl get the actual point and meaning of the song. a great song to a great cause!!
i HATE miley all the reat are good
carrie’s voice is amazing!! i wish they would have given her more solos i could listen to her voice all day.
y does people keep on talkin about MiiLey Cyres dat shes ruining da song and beyonce sings da most…Maybeh u boyz and gurls r jst jealousy coz yah kant sing lyk dem ae..lol sorii bt yea iim jst sayin dis coz u’s shudn’t b judging people yea aniwaez sorii 4 sayin dat!!
ummm yea lyk dis song its da best kant wait 2 hear it again!!lol
HEY, EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING THEY CAN’T HEAR MILEY. BUT REMEMBER IT’S FOR A GOOD CAUSE WHO CARES IF YOU CAN’T HEAR MILEY. YOU SHOULD BE GLAD MUSICANS ARE FIGHTING FOR A CAUSE.
i love mariah carey and leona lewis, they should sung more not miley :S
i like to point somethin out nicole from the pussycat dolls is there too, but she is left out in the naming out the stars.
ps.
is for charity this means that these stars are doing it form their own time and not get paid, so leave miley alone. she might not be able to sing that well that doesnt matter
i really liked this song… and all the artists.
all are talented and standing up for a great cause.
i thought beyonces hair was interesting too. lol
i love this song (:
but honestly i think miley recked it.
ciara needs to sing more in the song
she has the best voice (:
i think its **** that she only gets to sing like 6 words !
I bought the video on iTunes last night and thought it was very good. I enjoyed it thoroughly and plan to give what I can to SU2C. The singers are all very talented. As the youngest one, perhaps Miley lacks the advantage of life experience, which is apparent in her performance. But, can we be a little tolerant? THIS WAS FOR THE BENEFIT OF FINDING A CURE FOR CANCER. Shall we grow up and stop demeaning those whom we don’t like? Thats how we start wars!
My personal favorite is Fergie. But that is just my individual taste. I think all the others turned in an excellent performance.
I think Carrie and Beyonce did the BEST!!! OMG, Miley ruined it she sounded like a little kid, all the others out powered her. She shouldn’t have been it, but for everyone else nice job. If you can’t hear her voice theres something wrong because she sang horrible, its all you could her when she sang alone . She sings like two lines before the chorus. I LOVE Carrie and Beyonce!!
CARRIE ROCKED IT <3
I like the live version better. I think it had a little bit more oof and passion. And you can he hear miley she sings the same part she did in the live performance. Who cares about her anyway?
hey
I knw Miley kinda,.. spoils the song
but she is pretty ok rite?
at least she try =D
GOD! Miley sucks. leona lewis, rihanna and beyoncé were the best. They were peng. Way to go!!
miley cyrus sucks a big fat ****
how come britney,christina aguillera,jeannifer lopez,and mandy moore were not invited???i mean they are much far famous than tose others cat!!
i love it but hate miley
wow. i cant believe people just listen to this cuz of miley!
shes a great singer but come on!
the song is about standing up and fighing that horrible thing called cancer!!!
I love dat song. lol. da fact dat all da female artists got togetha n made dat song inspires me 2 sing more. all divas did dat. lol. i will love 4 all of dem 2 get togetha again n make anotha song. mariah, mary j., leona, beyonce, carrie, ashanti, fergie, n rihanna did wondeful jobs. peace. i been heard da song like last tear sum times.
