[LittleIronDove]

would anyone happen to know the translation of the African lyrics at the end of this song??? I can't find them anywhere.

[wendythehater]

Where is Kelly Clarkson and Shakira?

[themusicmann]

i dont know about kelly clarkson, but shakira is the one near the end that repeats "sing" over and over.....at least i think, hehe. its no hard to hear everybody.

[zaetovsi4kobasi]

Celine is at 3.18, 3.27, 3.55 I think, but just for a little...

[naxXo0]

WHERE IS FERGIE?

[Mattyuk1]

Wouldn't rush out to buy this. like aniies older stuff.

[KINGMAMS69]

What a vile thing to say , personally i think Annie Lennox has done some great things for charity & Aids...& one last thing i reckon i cant stand you , go & rot yourself & get the pole out of your arse you pompous queen.

[serenitysista35]

Every heard the saying...if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything....

you should be greatful to actually have someone so talented interested in raising awareness. Why don't you get off you ass and do something good!

[sheilaboy44]

Why do u tune if u don't like it? what matters is that someone of actual talent is doing something you are not! This actually has value and merit whereas most of today's stuff is just for sale and without any content nor substance.

[coins512]

It's good that she is trying to help. Our crappy government isn't trying to help.

[MPonbal]

I think is Joss Stone

[risdonater]

Well Fergie's ad-lib is at 3:25

[jude11011]

Looking forward to the remixes this seems a bit slow for a gospel vibe.

[shawnscottp1]

what a dumbass

[celinette22]

Céline!!!!<3

[nightmare20]

well, what an intelligent comment from someone who's too lazy enough to type a whole word =/

[bunnytube]

Oh, you *can* hear Josh Stone just before Anastacia starts wailing! :-) This is all clearer on the remix (Dean Coleman).

[bunnytube]

Madonna sings the second verse with Annie. Beyond that, I can only clearly hear Anastacia and Angelique Kidjo ... though I suspect someone else is doing a bit of the gospel-esque overdubs with Anastacia (Beverley Knight or Gladys Knight?). I heard someone else say they could hear Pink ... but I'm not sure where !?! You can hear some of the vocals better in the Dean Coleman Silent Sound Radio Edit, which I bought on iTunes.

[thelovebirds]

oh my word Annies voice is terrible?!?! are you hard of hearing that womans a legend...gees! indeed......how any one could say anything negative about this song and what its trying to achieve I find absolutely baffling!

[roncerod]

Please download SING by Annie Lenox, the proceeds will go to charities helping African women suffering from AIDS.

[gaboulas]

i dont see this song it sux

[sacre]

And Annie's awesome too, obviously ;)

[sacre]

Bonnie Raitt at 1'39".....oh yeah! :D

[sacre]

Ooh, no, 1'46", sorry

[waterblom]

Annie is awesome

[vivaneiber]

without annie this song is nothing

[crapcake101]

this song sux...the only reason I listen is to try to find Dido's part in this...

[charliemanner]

Dido's in this? Honestly, all I hear is synthesized harmonizers. The high notes are piercingly high.

[huguitomiguel]

SHAKIRA!!

[stacia922]

Madonna sounds HOT.

[4octavesbaby]

can someone please tell me where pink n anastacia sing in it. i reckon she just put all those names in to get sales the song is wack

[bellelover101]

no, not al of the voices are heard, but they are ALL there

[synthforhire]

Since the purpose of this song is to raise money to combat HIV in South Africa, as well as focus world attention on the reality of AIDS in general, "putting names in to get sales" is actually quite a wonderful and smart thing to do. GO ANNIE and all other progressive, aware individuals who actually use their personal power to move things forward for everyone.

[bingoboy1312]

Anastacia Is There She Says Come On At The End Several Times But Can't Hear Pink

XX Matty XX

[charliemanner]

they're probably the crowd in the back. I can hear Joss, Madonna, some chick screaming in the back. I didnt even know there were other people on this. And is the part at the end for real?

[milanjito]

strange, Rihanna isn't featured on this song.

[bside4]

graet... watch me now

[cawlaboi]

niceeeeeeeeee..

Madonna and Anastacia made this song...

they are GREAT

[HowUtterlySpiffing]

@cawlaboi Actually Annie made the song!!! (in both ways) :D

[SandyAngel7]

Anastacia's just the most amazing singer around the world!!!!!!! I'd love to hear new songs from her..

[aufprall]

i cant hear the voice of shakira.. were it is? say me the time please.. :S

[bulbaking]

Sugababes rule!!!

[ASNL09]

I hear Celine very faintly...but this is dissapointing as her voice would have been totally AMAZING on this song...

[xharassnatox]

Melissa Etheridge is the voice under everything at 3.59. And how much like Janis Joplin is Joss Stone, except Stone doesn't have the same vibe and life. I personally don't like the song, it seems very cluttered, and preachy, but it's for a good cause.

[WhopperBuzz001]

joss stone's bit is da bomb

[sicula89]

madonna's part is amazing!madge is the best ;) great job!

[ContessaLolita]

@sicula89 it makes me shakin

[noneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]

madonna sounds awesome

[glosolilion]

i can clearly here sugababes :)

[Maximusira]

piece of shit song...

[Goldie4tv]

I really don't like this song..it is so old fafshined, and borring...

[samasthiti]

Madge's part is awesome-as always!

[dimmitre]

Shakira is in the 3:50 minute..... GREAT!!!!

[Celinejunior]

Celine is at the end of the song...it's difficult to hear but by playing attention you'll hear it!

[GillyBean07]

where's Sarah? her voice is beautiful, and so are the voices of a lot of the others. it's a great song with a great message, but it's a shame that only three or four artists can actually be heard...

[stewartcastro]

And celine dion???...Where???

[ysache]

where is shakira?

[andrewf2]

apparently, sisters are still doing it for themselves..

[NatiKuhn]

The chorus...are 23 singers, not 20...i think this song is beautiful...hope it help,

[anataria]

Yeah, I agree that this one is a bit mess up.

I wish that the MV will make up clear about "where is other TWENTY singers?".

[jossellomp]

this song is bullshit...you cannot tell whos singing!! other than annie (of course!), madonna and joss stone! I don't hear Dido, or Celine or shakira! wtf dude!! sucks!!!

[evacrossh]

i love anastacia

wx3.anastacia . cl. gd

[leigh9993]

I love Joss :D

[ladyxmadonna]

gd song but d ending is kinda lyk different 2 d reat of d song

[theeacerise]

yeah a video would be very cool. this is a huge girlpower song. ^.^ i agree it would be better if they were an own verse.

[thefabbee2]

wud b kool if they all had their own verse and stuff ..

[theeacerise]

KT Tunstall! :D

[stephennield]

Dido's not on this song!

[stephennield]

Dido's not on this song!

[SergioOliver]

This is a song by the GREATS Annie Lennox and Madonna.

[jbazzyclark]

when old annie kicked in on the song my cat ran out of the room,,, she sings like she's being tortured.

[warschilka]

I love Annie Lennox...sometimes. And sometimes, she's just way too full of herself. And this seriously sounds like a drag queen pageant night's wildest lip sync finale. Especially when the vocals go into the upper registers...which is always a bad idea.

[007pod]

Beverly knight at 3:20 -3:23

Fergie is at 3:26 sayin HEY NOW HEY NOW

[007pod]

P!NK IS AT 3:48 - 3:49 for like one second going "woooOoooOoohh" lol!!!

Peace. x

[cheezychips100]

3:55. KT Tunstall

S-S-Sing Sing Sing...

[daspy1970]

WHERE IS CELINE ??????? Where is the beautiful voice?

It's a joke.

[jbazzyclark]

iF ANNIES intentions were to spread this important message to a wide range of people through the involvemt of other artists and consequently there fans then she has missed the mark completley, i heard Madonna , pink and Joss stone. the other artists involvement seems to be a waste of time . all i could hear was out of tune annie wailing at me while the real talent was lowered further and further on the volume.

[jbazzyclark]

HOW EMBARASING......

[billythebrit]

Too many cooks spoil a broth...

[Swifted17]

This song is a flop. It was so hyped the entire year...and we get this pile of shit. Annie should be ashamed.

[crankygang]

Celine Sings really Low at 3:55 its some thing like sing sing sing lol not alot considering she has like the best voice out of them all

[007pod]

Theyre mainly in the end bit where its like a choir! its like Feed the world song init where they got loads together n made them sing! i think its really good! i wonder what the video wil be like! might show u the singers then =) x

[LGKINGXX]

I've identified madonna, annie, joss stone, anastacia, sarah mclachlan(she sings at the very beginning before annie), i think shakira(backing vocals around 1:40), and Pink(sings backing vocals exactly at 3:15)

[cheekychick122]

Really like this song. It sounds really good. Well done Annie XxX

[debarramike1976]

...great track; annie is amazing; saw her live in london last week...think this is going to be a massive hit; though apart from madonna and annie; i am unable to distinguish any of the others...well done tho

[Th0m4s1993]

The should have done it as Annie Lennox feat. Madonna, and not all the other artists :).

[crazypinkaholic]

where's p!nk?

[cheekychick122]

She comes in at about 3mins 55 secs. Not for long though!!

[A52dusdat]

Hmmm. I like the song, but I only hear Anastacia say: "C'mon twice :( (which is nice...but hoped for more!)

They could have give every artist their own line, at least!

You hear Madonna (who has a too huge part) & Joss Stone clearly.

I couln't recogine any other artist.

That's a pity!

So I say: back to the studio girls, and give everyone their own line. ;)

[MysticalLegend]

I can't hear sweetheart Dido sing! :( And neither Céline Dion or Faith Hill, and many other artists I didn't hear too.

[anastaciadreams]

anastacia goes cmon yeah for about 5-8 seconds

[patternboy]

The black girls voice at almost the end is Jennifer Hudson.

[jonatansol]

where is shakira, where is fergie¿¿¿¿

[Mrcoolx15]

shakira is towards the end starting at 3:51 to 3:57

she says sing sing sing sing sing sing sing sing lol like a robot hehe lol

hope that helps

[strype]

it doesnt sound like Shakira is singing there

[guy18]

when is Madonns singing? i dont hear it :/

[Kaput0103]

I'm not sure if I can hear P!nk or not:/

[fraaijen]

Funny of all the 23 female superstars u only hear madonna

[cawlaboi]

that's why she's the QUEEN

[miqueldewolff]

it made me crij

[reannar12]

MADONNA WHOO HOO!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!i LOVE IT!! I LOVE IT !!! MADONNA LOVE HER!

[rososa2645]

I can recognize Anastacia from 3:40 to 3:48 saying "Come On! Sing! Sing It Girl! Come On! Wooooo!"

[rososa2645]

I can recognize Anastacia from 3:40 to 4:00 saying "Come On! Sing! Sing It Girl! Come On! Wooooo!"

[jappidu]

the greatest singer of the world. ... Madonna as well!

[richtwan]

wow Madonna takes the second verse, great sound...

[leigh9993]

Wait, the other people in the song are: Céline Dion, Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angelique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k.d. lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton, Pink, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright

[leigh9993]

There's supposed to of been 22 other people singing in this song aswell as Annie herself?

[chrismustamu]

Wow I like this groove. Annie wrote a great song!!! The low-singing of Madonna gives a beautiful contrast with all the high sung parts and gives and it gives the song more dimension. The only thing is.. I would love to hear more of the other great artists who are involved. I wonder how a live version would be like :)

[bhindex]

People are taking things too personal.

Let's face it: there are meny singers here.

But, aside from Annie, Madonna gets the spotlight. She has the second part of the song totally for her. Her voice is in the first ground, all the others are background.

Annie knows what she does.

[phoenix4ce]

I realy couldn't tell whose who from who is singing other then Annie Lennox lol

[bhindex]

Madonna's voice is clear on the second verse of the song.

And Madonna's voice is unique. People tell she doesn't sing, but she has a quality only big people have got: her voice is unique. Everywhere you listen to it, you recognise it's her.

[nonbreeder]

bhindex--one can also recognize William Hung's voice instantly...and that does not at all make it good. Annie's a power house with which Madonna cannot even come CLOSE. But do know, everyone, the 9 track CD single will be out in December, featuring all of the voices much more clearly.

[spacedcadetuk]

great madge and annie go girls last of the great 80's these two can show the yoiung ones how to do it

[jamifer777]

i recognised individual voices, and could definately make out celine. i don't know what people are twining about. at the end of the day, it is ANNIE'S song. all the other singers (even Madge) are playing second fiddle. i think people just need to get over it. PS i love the african part at the end =D is that angelique kidjo?

[billythebrit]

23 others appear? Really can't make them out. Am I the only one who can only hear Annie, then Madonna, then a bit of noise at the end from some others but it's not clear who they are? And is Celine Dion on here? Where? One of the biggest voices in pop - didn't make good use of it, did they?

[RavenL4]

Here are all the voices: Céline Dion, Anastacia, Isobel Campbell, Dido, Melissa Etheridge, Fergie, Beth Gibbons, Faith Hill, Angelique Kidjo, Beverley Knight, Gladys Knight, k.d. lang, Madonna, Sarah McLachlan, Beth Orton,Pink, Bonnie Raitt, Shakira, Shingai Shoniwa, Joss Stone, Sugababes, KT Tunstall, and Martha Wainwright.

Wow, huh?

[bhindex]

I love this song. Madonna's singing is great. Annie and Madonna rock!

The others too, but Annie and Madonna shine here.

[SergioOliver]

You said it, brother!

[sergiocna]

i am terribly sorry. i did not intend to make madonna greater or anything like that!

both singers are totally different

i actually wanted to post this video in a community so that i could have the lyrics... please dont take me wrong.

[KINGMAMS69]

Great song written by ANNIE LENNOX from her forth coming album SONGS OF MASS DESTRUCTION 23 OTHER FEMALE ARTISTS appear on the track , one point of critisism , Madonna appears longer than Annie in this & she aint no boss.

[nonbreeder]

On BBC Radio, Annie said "I did not ask Madonna to sing the entire second chorus, but...eh...it was a nice gesture; Whatever helps it reach the masses for the charity for which it is intended." People are starting to call this "featuring Madonna" which was more than a little predictable.

[izvestia03]

i am starting to dig this--its nice to hear the complete song--greater impact!
