Celine for Stand Up To Cancer

[Nikosn17]

OMG look what I found

 

"The original roster of artist line-up was originally spearheaded by Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston. However, plans were scrapped after difficulties arose between Houston and Dion[2]. As the list of the second roster of artists was made for the songwriters, Sony Music and Mathew Knowles bid $500,000 for Beyoncé Knowles to sing more lines than any other artist. [3] Disney donated $76,000 for Miley Cyrus' inclusion to the roster of artists.[4] Rapper Jay-Z penned $95,000 for Def Jam Recordings artist Rihanna to sing the second most number of lines after wife Beyoncé[5]. Clive Davis reportedly submitted a check containing $275,000 to the charity single for the inclusion of Leona Lewis [6] and $290,000 for Carrie Underwood's participation[7]. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds contacted Mariah Carey to sing the climactic high note and she gladly accepted.[8]

 

Solange Knowles was also endorsed by Mathew Knowles, however; she was rejected by the charity single executives in favor of Ashanti[9]. Christina Aguilera was originally offered the part of Carrie Underwood but RCA pulled her out of the charity single due to the editing of her adlib parts in favor of Underwood and Knowles' vocals.[10] Beyoncé Knowles donated $250,000 for the inclusion of fellow R&B artists Ciara and Mary J. Blige, to sing the parts originally for Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson.[11]"

 

That would have been so awesome .

[Bellamy]

That story is so hilarious. Bid more money to get to sing more in a charity song.

[CSCfan]

Yeah, somehow I find that very....wrong.

 

The original line-up sound so much better....hopefully one day [albeit for a different charity].

And I wonder what those "difficulties" were..

[Love,]

 

You can listen to the song here:

It's VERY catchy!

 

Lyrics:

Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think

It’s like it can go through anything

And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though

 

Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away

Ain’t got the patience for the pain

And if you don’t believe it look into

your heart the beat goes on

 

Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that

Things get better

Through whatever

If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up

 

Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle

 

Beyonce: You need to know

 

CHORUS

Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough

But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up

 

Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be

questioning, wondering what is what

Don’t give up

THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

 

Fergie: It’s like we all have better days

Problems getting all up in your face

 

Leona: Just because you go through it

 

Fergie: Don’t mean it got to take control, no

 

Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place

 

Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate

 

Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you

 

Keyshia: And sayin’ you can’t go on

 

Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that

 

Miley: Things get better

Through whatever

 

Rihanna: If you fall

 

Miley: Dust if off, don’t let up

 

LeAnn: Don’t you know you

 

Natasha: Can go

 

LeAnn: Be your own

 

Natasha: Miracle

 

Carrie: You need to know

 

Ensemble: CHORUS

 

Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind

 

Ciara: If you fall, dust it off

 

Mary: You can live your life

 

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah

 

Mary: Let your heart be your guide

 

Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah yeah yeah

 

Mariah: And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good

 

Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah

Light up the dark, if you follow your heart

 

Mary: And it will get better

 

Mariah: Through whatever

 

CHORUS

 

Fergie: You got it in you, find it within

You got in now, find it within now

You got in you, find it within

You got in now, find it within now

You got in you, find it within

Find it within you, find it within

Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Can you provide the source?

 

Based on what I've found - this is regarded as a "rumor" only, and not "actual news."

 

Yet, it's quite funny because we all know Mathew Knowles and his belief in his daughters and Clive's recent new protegés Carrie and Leona and how he's going to be the "wind beneath their wings" like he's been for Whitney.

Yes it's a rumor. By the way I uploaded that video. Thanks for posting

LOL! Do we have a connection or something!?

 

Last time it was Ken Lee, now it's this... Both times you've pointed them out to me. HAHA

i dont think she is on it cuz shes not on the list

[Love,]

That's not a list... it's just name-dropping and grabbing people's attention.

 

With ads for variety programs like these, they don't advertise everyone's name, only a select..

[zoea2812]

Im surprised that celine isnt on it as she does such a lot of good charity work.

[nrcda88]

I actually saw E! news last night (can't remember the last time I did lol) There was a commercial featuring this & there were alot of celebs featured but I didn't see Celine anywhere. I was surprised they didn't feature her. Wonder if they're hiding her until the actual event & surprise all of us

are there any updates on this?

[Esther]

this is wonderful news!

[DianaLuts]

Maybe they list only artists appearing live. Since Celine has a show that night in Philly, she may have recorded a message. And that is not as big as lets say so and so appearing live maybe?

[I Surrender]

Great cause to stand up for. Very important that people like Celine give their support. Well done I say.

[whineupemily]

Apparently there this cause will have a song that will be sung at a benefit show that night....

The song is called "Just Stand Up" and sung by female artists only: Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood.

 

and i totally wanna know why celine is not singing on this song!

 

oh well, she is incredible and such an inspiration

 

 

I think we need to slap who ever put together the singers for this event.

Do they not know what Celine went through when Rene had Cancer?!

 

Thats a stupid list, Celine should be singing it solo haha

I so agree with you!

Celine would be fantastic ...who better to be part of this than someone who went through all she did with Rene.

Time to knock some sense into these people

[racey3229]

i will be there on this evening,as one of the meet and greet winners, so i will get as many pics as possible and post a review following the show

[dj_a_rock]

thank you for sharing.

[kathyc25]

So I just watched it, and I was a little disappointed that Celine didn`t record a message or anything, but it was a good show. Josh Groban sang Imagine, and it was lovely, and I got to laugh at Mariah because she sounded like crap

[Love,]

I REALLY, REALLY like the song. It's so refreshing and uplifting.

 

Everything sounds nice...until Miley Cyrus opens up her mouth...

 

Celine would have so much fun in this song

 

I just love Carrie Underwood...

Stand up to cancer. We'll scare it away with that song.

"Whatever! Whatever!" go Haynnah Montaynaa

[ThisTime]

Celine probably wasn't there since she had a show last night.

But it would have been nice if she would have been there

[celine_rox]

miley cyrus like RUINED the song and beyonce's hair that was one bug mess

[Love,]

I just listened to the song again this morning... and I must say, frankly, this would have been REALLY nice for Celine to have been a part of.

 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!

 

It's one of the best collaborative, tribute, charity songs written in years!

 

It's fresh, up-beat, infectious, inspiring, straight-forward, enjoyable, and memorable.

 

I prefer this song to Annie's "Sing," MJ's "What More Can I Give" and Sharon Stone's "Come Together Now." in which Celine has participated in in the last four years - although I love all four of them to certain degrees because they're all amazing in their own rights and have contributed to humanity.
