While the song has nothing to do with Haiti, it was emotionally evocative and made me realize that despite my personal commitment to do so I had not yet donated any funds to the relief efforts. Here are a couple of alternatives if you're looking for a good place to put your money:

I totally agree!! What was with Madonna's song, but oh well I loved Justin Timberlakes!! I loved that! Anyways my 7 year old made us get on The hope for Haiti now web site and donate there, so we did.
I downloaded that song!
My all-time favorite song. I collect versions and covers of it. Justin's is good, but it's got nothing on the Jeff Buckley or kd lang's.
Beautiful.
Jamie, I really like the Buckley version but its a bit too stripped down for me. I like a bit more in the accompaniment.
Ok, just downloaded kd lang's version. It IS amazing.
