This is the song that was just released yesterday that is on Annie's upcoming Christmas Album. I was sure that was the song she sang on Idol. Great song! All profits from it Annie is donating to her Charity.
For anyone who is wanting to buy this wonderful song but can't find it on the ever annoying iTunes.....
Annie has today signed a new recording contract with a new record label. Her first album for the new label will be an album of Christmas songs called "Christmas Cornucopia" and will be released on 22nd November 2010. Universal Child will be a track on this new album.
I just saw this video tonight by "a mistake", was zapping through the channelse and stopped a moment on TV3, showing American Idol...couldn't stop the tears when i saw this little girl...finally i got hold of my self, just to cry again when Annie visited her again. but this time it was tears og joy, what af difference the medicine have made...it shows we have to keep on giving.. and the song isen't too bad ;o)
"I wish to God that kids like you could be like everyone"
Annie,I'm thankful that I've been able to get involved in the SING campaign in a small way -and I will continue to do so. You set a beautiful example of what it truly means to be a caring human being. You are a hero to me. :)
I just bought this great new track on iTunes but it doesn't tell me who wrote it. Does anyone know if Annie wrote this ? It's wonderful to see her back again - I can never get enough of my Annie !
What can I say..."Universal Child" is beautiful + brilliant...just as so many, many Annie Lennox compositions before. But, this seems different...bigger...more important than ever...truly a reason fro each and everyone of us to stand together and support Annie's SING Campaign!
Once again, Annie Lennox proves that she is a class act. Her visits to South Africa, and her work with her SING campaign, have made a tremendous difference in the lives of people in dire need of help. What a wonderful survival story for this little girl Avilele... and there are many others like her. Thank you, Annie, for bringing your "Shining Light" of awareness to this and many other charitable causes. And thank you for yet another beautiful song!
This event should be called "Idol viewers give back" because it's the viewers who are giving the money and NOT the mega billion dollar business that is American Idol.
Annie, you are the best once again. Sorry that you had to perform this awesome new song from a London studio instead of performing a live version on the show. Your live performances are legendary - I look forward to hearing you play this song live in the very near future !
@jwsyankees annie lennox always steals the show because she picks the most emotional songs and shows her total commitment to the cause. SHE IS MORE INTERESTED IN THE CAUSE THAN JUST TRYING TO REVIVE HER OWN CAREER UNLIKE OTHER CELEBS
This is exactly why we need to provide adequate funding to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria. Contact Congress and tell them to fund the Global Fund.
WHAT a fantastic and moving composition. Y'know, I was thinking how easy it would have been for Ms. Annie to have not performed- it must have been quite a herculean effort to have arranged this. JUST goes to show that she TRULY "walks her talk". A shining example of what a truly compassionately passionate person does to help move hearts and souls.
I keep trying to find a way to purchase this beautifully sung song by Annie Lennox but haven't succeeded. It is a wonderful song from an apparently wonderful woman and humanitarian!
Such a beautiful song brings tears to my eyes everytime i listen to it,god touched Annie abd hopefully it will open alot of peoples hearts ♥God Bless all the children♥ And Annie As well Thank you Annie :)
sverree shut your mouth annie lennox took time out of her life to write this beautiful song and donate the proceeds to those helpless people. What have you done except be an armchair critic ? THANKYOU VERY MUCH ANNIE LENNOX XX
It's a touching song, fitting in this context. But I must say musically it's extremely boring and not really something I want to listen to at home. And I am a big fan of Annie Lennox...
She can do so much better than this! I also think the song "beautiful child" would be just as good and fitting in context to sing at this show. Dissapointing in my humble opinion.
She also touched my heart... such a sad sad story... The song was also beautiful i closed my eyes and lots of emotions came to me.... well done... :*)
This little girl really touched my heart, I just wanted to hug her and hold her. Bless her ♥ Look at her beautiful eyes! Beautiful part of show. Thanks for posting
This is one very "wrathful" video. =p
