Why should they? And should they do that for every charity or just this one?
Why shouldn't they? Personally, they should be charged for participating in these things as this is all about their PR exposure to make even greater sums of money in the future.Same goes for Children In Need - wanna star on it - put your hand in your pocket first.
Celebrity is breeding celebrity, and its long since got nauseating.
There was an article written a few year ago about Live Aid, the original one, and everyone involved went on to become incredibly wealthy. The few that refused to go on, Dave Stewart for instance, merely watched careers that tanked.
Rubbish, they are professional singers. They do their job and are being asked to do it for free- if they gain from it, good luck to them.
What they do for a living is an option that ANYONE can pursue...and ANYONE can ignore. I have not listen to more than a few seconds of any "artist" i dont like in the last 10 years (off button anyone?)

It was a sad day when I had to agree with Janet Street Porter (of all people) in the Daily Mail last week.What they do for a living is an option that ANYONE can pursue...and ANYONE can ignore.

I think this bit specifically refers to artists, as in the modern art oxygen thieves.

There's often a hidden reason why successful people get involved with good causes - I was told that one of the reasons British artists give so generously to auctions is that they often receive a percentage of the hammer price, and if their work sells well, it keeps up their market value. How bloody cynical is that?

It's rather cynical of me but this seems to me just a Simon Cowell PR plug. Yes, there are lots of proper singers on it but Joe Mckelldry (sp?). Hardly a singer of world renown.
And, I'm I the only person that thinks singing 'everybody hurts' is a bit unsympathetic for a charity single for such a devistating event? "Hey you're whole country may be destroyed but don't worry too much because everybody hurts".

Perhaps the idea is to encourage them not to commit suicide!Dr_Gonzo said:

Clearly SC sees it for the PR opertunity it is...but so what if it raises money?And the reason Joe is on the track is because 18m people watched X factor... I wouldnt know him from Adam if i saw him on TV but if i wanted to sell records i'd want him involved.
