Simon Cowell’s Haiti Tribute – Everybody Hurts

Written by: GG

Simon Cowell’s Haiti tribute song has been in the works for at least two weeks according to CNN’s Showbiz site.

The song is a cover of the old REM tune, Everybody Hurts. Sharing the microphone in this version are Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams, and Cowell’s recent finds, Susan Boyle and Leona Lewis. Lewis is the girl who sounds exactly like 1991 Mariah Carey in the tune.

According to the article, they will split the proceeds between two charities.

Proceeds from the single’s sale will be split between the Disasters Emergency Committee and the “Helping Haiti” appeal in aid of Doctors Without Borders, or Médecins Sans Frontières.

A video and the release of the single are set for next week.

  • Simon knows music, but if you think about the original We Are The World, the original nucleus of artists hovered around a guy named Ken Kragen. Ken managed Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers. Lionel had connections to MJ. Quincy Jones was brought in, brought in Ray Charles and the rest.

    Don't get me wrong. The charity was great. The work was great, and we talk about it decades later.

    But there were many people turned down for spots on We Are The World. I doubt any were Ken Kragen's clients.
