Miley Cyrus cries for 'Help!' and the cast of 'Hamilton' is feeling 'Helpless' as stars call for unity amid COVID-19 and Black Lives Matter at star-studded Global Citizen concert (via toofab):
Hudson celebrated her own Chicago, looking barren itself, as she performed Gladys Knight and the Pips'"Where Peaceful Waters Flow" from atop a boat on the Chicago river. It was both breathtaking and eerily haunting as we see these images known for throngs of humanity just sitting empty.
Usher's performance of"I Cry" slowly panned out to recreate a common visual refrain from the Black Lives Matter protests, with people lying face down, hands behind their backs, much as George Floyd was lying on the ground as a Minneapolis police officer crushed the life out of him for nearly nine minutes with his knee on his neck.
Before Shakira's performance of"Sale el Sol," she spoke out about how the pandemic is now hitting Latin America harder than any other region in the world, with experts predicting Africa is next."We need to make sure that everyone has security and access to healthcare in these places or it will make distributing a vaccine that much harder," she said.
"We can all do something about it and that's why we're here today," she continued."As we walk the road to recovery, let's help the most vulnerable regions in the world walk towards theirs because the sun should come out for everyone." Elsewhere in the broadcast, Justin Bieber & Quavo broke down their hit"Intentions" with a piano-driven acoustic take, while J Balvin and Coldplay brought some technicolor madness to the proceedings. And Jimmy Fallon and The Roots took their"classroom instruments" format to the original Broadway cast of"Hamilton" for a powerful rendition of"Helpless."
