Random, Running Live8 Observations
Annie Lennox (London) has defeated Bon Jovi (Philly), on points, during their simultaneous performances at Live8. Everybody looked remarkably good for '80s/'90s pop artists, but Lennox looked less forced during her rendition of "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This" than Bon Jovi did during "Livin' On A Prayer." But, really, everybody's a winner. MORE: Destiny's Child just took the stage in Philadelphia, singing, "Survivor." (Maybe not the best of choices for a benefit for starvation and poverty in Africa.) MORE: Brian Wilson is singing to the crowd in Berlin, and the crowd looks slightly confused. The band is not quite The Beach Boys, but sounds kinda sorta like The Beach Boys, and the crowd looks like it is politely trying to process this, without dancing or cheering. MORE: Hyde Park will never be the same: Snoop Dogg has just taken the stage in London, and he doesn't appear to be holding back. MORE: An "instant download" of the McCartney-Bono "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" rendition from this morning is now available for purchase online. Oddly, Will Smith's rendition of "Gettin' Jiggy With It" is not yet available. Go figure. MORE: Madonna: "Are you ready London? Are you ready to start a revolution? Are you ready to change history? I said, are you read-d-d-y?" And then, with a choir in the background, she launches into "Like a Prayer." She's singing, on stage, to a very uncomfortable-looking African woman who Bob Geldof introduced earlier. Dance interlude - Madonna: "I said put you-ah hands togeth-ah." By Ed Moltzen · 2 July 2005
