After Christina Aguilera’s performance of James Brown’s “It’s A Man’s World” at the Grammys, this is one of the more transcendent performances by any musician I’ve seen in years.  Or ever.  This woman’s a channel, for sure.

“Live Earth” was the most watched event in human history, the single event experienced by more people at the same time than anything else we’ve ever pulled off.

I love the way she just stares out at the audience before she starts!  🙂

Here’s the complete performance but low quality … http://www.cincheetah.com/flash1/liveearth.html

part 3:  “I Need To Wake Up”

Besides her Oscar-winning song, “A Inconvenient Truth,” it’s all about the improved raps she riffs she lays down for the day’s global eyes.

I watched much of this 24 hour day event with my mom.  In fact, it was the last month she was in the house.  She’s now in a nursing home, and there’s no more of those kind of shares, both insomniacs, up watching the beautiful Japan temple concerts at 5 in the morning, and then Giants Stadium (where I took her to see the Grateful Dead) in the afternoon.  She was into the environment before I was, but she was always so far ahead of her time.   In a way, Melissa is her, in a different vessel.
