This concert was the first time I ever saw Wyclef perform (I'm old, people). It blew me away. I cried. And I've been a die-hard Wyclef fan since. BEAUTIFUL!!!
@Cheamilion Sorry my english is not good enoguh to explain exactly what i mean... I'm just thinking, that this tragic event was abused by a criminal goverment and that a lot of popstars blind helped to create a kind of colectiv myth, that allowed to manipulate the people and finaly justified war and death in the name of freedom... while bob marley sings about freedom and redemption. But i know, that it's allways looks different from inside truoble, in this case from inside usa.
Real talent always gets hidden from most of us in favor or marketing, money, and profits, but we who know of this man are fortunate to hear his songs.
While the rest of the lemmings listen to American Idol fakes, we have real music to listen to.
Tremendous job by Wyclef. Incredibly selfless of him too as his father died accidentally days before this and without question it must've been difficult for him and his sister (who is the backup singer) to commit to this.
well i hate ta tell ya but america isnt all that its cracked up 2 b man "all men r creadited equalie" well y dont the indaians in resavtions n y did we have a civil war n still blacks were not treated as equals n what bout women they couldnt work they couldnt serve in the army they couldnt vote!!! so america not all that great
dont get me wrong i wouldnt want to live any where else!!
I remember when this was origianally aired, and it was stunningly moving and appropriate. It still is. I'm so happy to be able to see and hear it again.
Awesome song to watch on September 11th's ten year anniversary!
9-11-01 NEVER FORGET!!
