...Bono recently helped gather a number of young pop performers together (including Alicia Keys and Destiny?s Child) for an all-star remake of Marvin Gaye?s ?What?s Going On.? The remake was aimed at raising money for AIDS charities; after the attacks, images of the World Trade Center were including in the video to make it more relevant to the current mood. A tribute to slain Beatle John Lennon in New York City scheduled for October 2 - ?Come Together: a Night of John Lennon's Words & Music - was reconceived to become a tribute to Lennon, New York City...
...volume of stories about the attacks. And Friday night, every broadcast network and numerous cable channels aired the two-hour telethon America: A Tribute to Heroes. Surprisingly restrained, held on spare, candlelit stages, it featured elegiac performances from musicians including Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Sheryl Crow and Alicia Keys and so many star presenters--Tom Hanks, Muhammad Ali, Julia Roberts--that the likes of Jack Nicholson and Meg Ryan were answering phones.

He's also intent on getting an intro to Best New Artist nominee Alicia Keys, though he notes that Best Female Artist contender Missy Elliott is "sure looking fine. You know that song One-Minute Man? I'll be her Two-Minute Man." Sounds like the spontaneous combustion part won't be a problem...
...Young, up-and-coming soul diva Alicia Keys was holding it down for real talent at the ceremony - she wailed, she tinkled the ivories, she looked stylish, she pretty much did it all. Still, the instrumental mix on her performance was somewhat overdone; the drums and keyboards were cranked up so high they nearly drowned out all the soul. Keys' performance would have been more striking had it been just her and a piano up on stage. She had more than 20 backup singers, which is about 20 more than any real vocalist really needs. U2 gave a steady...
