I didn't write them myself though. Yes me too!! I was all like OMG :stunned:, and I'm still a bit flabbergasted about the performance! I was watching it on mtv.com, but I also was here and on msn at the same time, so I only watched a few seconds of Halo, not knowing Chris was playing the piano :( But both performances were absolotely beautiful I think :heart: :laugh3: LOL
January 23, 201016 yr I think CNN likes Chris, the only 2 Hope for Haiti videos that they posted are A Message and Halo :P http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2010/01/22/hope.for.haiti.beyonce.hfhn http://cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2010/01/22/hope.for.haiti.martin.hfhn

January 23, 201016 yr I had to be out tonight, but I set my DVR to record the show. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. Can't believe they did 'A Message' YAY!! I thought they might do 'Fix You' but glad they didn't go with the obvious!
January 23, 201016 yr anyone have an MP3? download it off of iTunes tomorrow, the money will go to help Haiti ;)
January 23, 201016 yr I finished watching the telethon about half an hour ago and it was awesome! Coldplay's performance of A Message was very beautiful. I really loved it. He also did a wonderful job on the piano. They all looked amazing. At the end of A Message my brother said it looked like Chris was crying, I told him it was probably sweat but if he was crying..awwwww.:hug::chris: I couldn't really hear Bono when he was singing with Rihanna and Jay Z. Was his microphone off or something?
January 23, 201016 yr im really glad they played A MESSAGE....it was nice to hear it live after so long and its better than hearing one of their big hits like usual. Is Chris wearing boots???!!

January 23, 201016 yr Beyonce Performs 'Halo' With Chris Martin During Haiti Telethon Coldplay frontman plays piano for B, who injected Haiti into her 'Halo' lyrics. Beyoncé gave a powerful performance of "Halo" during Friday's (January 22) "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief" telethon. WATCH THE PERFORMANCE: http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/474738/beyonce-halo-live.jhtml Performing from London, the songstress was accompanied by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, who performed with his band earlier in the night, on the piano for an acoustic rendition. Beyoncé injected Haiti into her lyrics: "Haiti, we can see your halo/ You know you're my saving grace," she sang. "You're everything I need and more, it's written all over your face/ Haiti, we can see your halo/ I pray you won't fade away." The emotional track is from her 2009 LP, I Am ... Sasha Fierce. B is one of a long line of participants for the telethon, including her husband, Jay-Z, who performed later with Rihanna and U2. Learn more about what you can do to help with earthquake-relief efforts in Haiti, and for more information, see Think MTV.
