Actually, I also thought it was good. It's a brilliant song, so anyone with a decent voice should make it work.
Kraft Dinner Lang wouldn't have been my first choice, but she held her own, and in a sense having an openly lesbian singer is a good choice for Canada to showcase it's diversity.

Fixed.

And yes. They did.

NBC showed it just before the ceremonies started. Autotune should have no place in We Are the World, but I guess it's necessary with today's calibre of music talent.

I think Costas said it'll be shown again after the ceremonies, but I don't know if it'll be on the show or elsewhere.

I've been watching from minute one. I thought the first few minutes were pretty good, followed by the athletes, which is always good. Then it just fell into a giant pool of 'who cares.'

But that's just me. (And probably the ten remaining viewers worldwide)

It's a shame that 54-40 wasn't included in this somehow.

Opening or Closing I'm not sure. But it IS going to be sung. Saw it on tv today.
