♫ NEW MUSIC: VARIOUS ARTISTS - “JUST STAND UP”
Friday, August 22, 2008

Some of the worlds must accomplished and acclaimed female artists have joined together for the song “Just Stand Up,” a charity single in support of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), a new initiative to raise philanthropic dollars for accelerating ground-breaking cancer research.
The roster of ladies include Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, and Carrie Underwood. The project was conceived by Antonio “L.A.” Reid of Island Def Jam Music Group and was produced by Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds. This will be their first collaborative effort in two decades.
The all-star television performance premiere of the song will take place live on Friday, September 5th, when ABC, CBS, and NBC simultaneously devote one hour of commercial-free prime-time to this nationwide event. This will be the first simultaneous cross-network broadcast ever to raise funds for the fight against a disease.

See, this is why I don’t like charity songs like this, where 10+ famous singers are singing in it….I understand why songs like this get released, because of the massive star power.
But it’s not worth it to me when each singer only sings a line or two, and you can’t recognize who sung what.
Let’s face it, alot of the singers chosen for this song doesn’t have a distinct voice. Hell, should’ve thrown Keri Hilson in the mix *rolls eyes*
For all of my complaining though, I hope this song sells well. Who knows, maybe through this money a cure can finally be found.

Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though
Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into
your heart the beat goes on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up
Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle
Beyonce: You need to know
CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be
questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Fergie: It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Leona: Just because you go through it
Fergie: Don’t mean it got to take control, no
Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place
Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate
Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you
Keyshia: And sayin’ you can’t go on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Miley: Things get better
Through whatever
Rihanna: If you fall
Miley: Dust if off, don’t let up
LeAnn: Don’t you know you
Natasha: Can go
LeAnn: Be your own
Natasha: Miracle
Carrie: You need to know
Ensemble: CHORUS
Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind
Ciara: If you fall, dust it off
Mary: You can live your life
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah
Mary: Let your heart be your guide
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah yeah yeah
Mariah: And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good
Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
Mary: And it will get better
Mariah: Through whatever
CHORUS
Fergie: You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!

Great song. Hopefully when they perform it live, it sounds the same. Because I’m sure with all those stars, everyone is gonna be trying to out sing one another. That would be a hot mess!!

Beyonce made the song LOL OK my girl did her thing. I woulda liked to have heard a little more from Keyisha, she only got like one line and surprisingly I actually liked Rihanna’s part, I could hear the little ‘ella ella eh eh’ part in there lol.
Can’t wait for the live performance.
Leona did good too.

Go!!! Beyonce, she did her thang, riri had help with her part, I like the song.
Maybe riri will get some more sales from this, though she want get more for this particular song maybe it will help her along the way.

The only people I recognized were Beyonce (through out the song), Fergie (second verse & throughout the song), Rihanna (on the bridge), Mariah Carey (second verse), Carrie Underwood (first verse after Bee?), Keyshia Cole, Miley (on the bridge), Melissa, Mary J….
Where was Ciara and Ashanti? I ain’t hear them…

DEAD @Miley Cirus and Riahnna sounding alike
DEAD @ Beyonce’s belting/riffing overpowering Mariah’s attempt to whistle out some high notes at the end
DEAD @ Mariah,Beyonce and Mariah going at it towards the end
Dead @ Ciara and ashanti gettin 1 line each and sounding hardly audible
DEAD@ Mary actually sounding good and on Key
DEAD @ Melissa Etheridge wailing off and sounding like a man
I think they let the strong voices(Beyonce,Mary,Carrie Underwood and Mariah) lead and the not so strong voices(ashanti,ciara and rihanna) fill in the background vocals. Giving that you can still hear their individual voices (even in the background).

at least ashanti got two lines..but why bey is singin most parts,its not fair
maybe they could ve gone alphabetically and ashanti would ve bn first
but i still think beyonce should ve been replaced by nicole scherzinger,ciara should ve bn replaced by cassie,miley cyrus should ve bn replaced by kat deluna who can sing and got 5 octave vocal range,mariah should ve bn replaced by jennifer lopez and the song would ve bn greater

CIARA SAYS “IF U FALL, DUST IT OFF AFTER MARY J’S 1ST VERSE @ 2:06… lol didn’t get a big part. Everyone else was pretty good. Ashanti was early on in the song right before Keyshia Cole. MARIAH’s part was SMALL AS LLEH! Best on the song goes to Beyonce, Rihanna, and MJB, Leona…

@ #26- Are you serious? Don’t be hatin on Beyonce just because she delivered! How you going to say Nicole Scherzinger should replace her? Beyonce is a stronger singer than her and I remember someone saying that its the producer (I think) who decides who sings what parts, so they just thought Beyonce would have been better. Which she is!

Truth?

The song was just OK. You would think people would come up with something xtra unique because all of this miusic sonds the same but it is a motivational song and encouraging song and thats all that matters I guess.

I like it.
Ciara was hardly there.
Ashanti was after Mariah and at the end with Fergie.
Miley and Rihanna sound the same never notice that LOL
I love the end with Mary and Mariah.
Everyone seem to get like 2 lines a piece so I think it was even up properly some people said their line together some said it one after the other.

I actually liked it granted the fact all i really heard was Beyonce and my girl Rihanna. I’m pretty sure Ciara is not even in the song if she is damn cuz they were trying to get her out. Thank god i can’t distinguish Miley cyrus’s voice. Ashanti….. Mariah could have more. Leona was good. And thats all i can remember.

This song is great. Im glad my girl Bey started it off, she should’ve.
Now wtf is up w/ Keyshia getting like 2 lines and miley and Rihanna getting more parts. Keyshia, Leona, and Ashanti(yes ashanti) can sing better than them. And I’ve just came to the conclusion that Ciara was the things in the background that sound like a man.

This song is just ok, the only voices I heard were Beyonce, Fergie, Mariah, Mary J and Rhianna, the other ones were just not distinguishable at all, didnt hear Ashanti, ciara, don’t know Miley’s voice and dont know anything about Natsha Bedingfield, they couldv’e done better with this song, its not good as We are the World, or the song You will Know, or even when the rappers did We’re all in the Same Gang, this is not a #1 song at all.

For this many artists to be on the song, I think it would have made sense to give each person two or three lines so we heard wach individual voice then everyone on the chorus. I love Beyonce and Rihanna and Mary J, but they dominated the song. For instance, after Beyonce got the whole first verse to herself, she continued to be the featured voice in the add-libs throughout the remainder of the song. I heard some background falsetto from Mariah and a good amount of Melissa Etheridge.
Overall, the song was nice and it benefits a worthy cause. My only questions are why the song wasn’t a little longer and If only a few of the voices were going to be distinguished or showcased, why were so many names added to the contributing roster? Another idea would have been to recorded 3 different verisons, spreading the singers out, giving each a chance to be highlighted.
52.
Classy
Friday, August 22, 2008 /
They should’ve signed Christina Aguilera on to do the bridge, but of course she would have blew all their asses out.
Melissa Etheridge and Mary sounded great.
Fergie and Rih’s parts were kind of cute.
Somebody hit a nice whistle note at the end-Mariah? Leona?
Everyone else was blah, though everyone sounded good.
The song is weak to me. It’s no “We Are the World” or anything. However, it is for a good cause, so it’s probably tacky to criticize.

I like it….Cnt wait to see it performed live though…But some ppl had too small of a part like Ciara & Keyshia Cole, I wudn’t have even recognized some voices if it wasn’t for post 17… Beyonce, Rihanna, Leona, Mary & Mariah did good though and I took Miley’s voice for Rihanna’s, lol! Weird!

I loved this song I think mily gave it a nice little appeal to it Ms. Cole did her thing & I LOVED my Wifeys Beyonce and Mariah Carey they hella tore it up at the end and in their verses! Natasha should have a little bit of more time and I act. like Ri Ri on this song her voice sounded nice!
The Bad: They shouldnt even have had ciara and ashanti in that song if you could hear em & they were gonnah sing like 3 words
Overall the song was nice and it was for a good cause so all the more better!

wow this song is wack. shit ain’t worth listening 2. they should have let CIARA, KEYSHIA COLE, AND ASHANTI have their VOCALS be heard more. but noooo the allowed FIVE HEAD to sing most of the parts. oh well….. whatever i kno i won’t be downloading it. hell I could barely hear THE PRINCESS part…. but my sister still did her thang. but i was also glad 2 hear my homegirl KEYSHIA COLE though. i hope they will perform this song live on national television cuz if y’all ask me i could enjoy the performance and care less about the song.

Mrs. Mariah sing honey, i can here those highnotes in the back ground. The song should have been 4 voices: (real singers) Mariah, Melissa Ethridge, Mary J. blige and Leanne Rhimes, everyone else sounds ok
Ciara, Cassie, Ashanti, and those other girls….DON’T SELL RECORDS, they don’t have loads of grammy’s and they are basically cute girls with average voices.
Beyonce while very talented, and very attractive is over-rated. She’s an incredible performer, but to always list her with real diva’s is disrepsectful.
Mariah, Aretha, Whitney, Gladys, Mellisa Ethridge , Tina Turner are Legends, these new girls do not compare. They have NO struggles.
and finally to all you losers/haters: Mariah and Mary J have beautiful voices. Stop HATING

The stonger ppl definitely dominated the song Beyonce, of course and i heard everyone’s voice except for Ashanti and Ciara and Leann. Miley’s voice sounds almost exactly like Rihanna’s and i do not kid. Surprising, not at all. I love my girls LEona, NAtasha, SHeryl, BEyonce of course since she had the most presence thru out, MAry,MAriah and CArrie( wished hers was longer)

@ 62
wow what the hell do u know about record sells. first of all cassie wasn’t even in the damn song . but CIARA and ASHANTI were. and hell they both SANG way better than her non talented ass. they should have given everyone equal parts. this song is wack cuz it’s not worth listening to. hell you could barely hear ciara’s voice in da song. and look @ you talking they don’t sell records wow…… which mean your ass don’t know shit. Ciara has sold records ever since Goodies went triple platnium selling 2.63 million copies. Hell she recived highly success earning her a grammy. and Evolution did well selling 338,000 copies the first week selling more than Goodies and became #1 on the billboard charts.

Mariah, Beyonce, and Mary J should have brought fire to this song, but it’s boring. some of these girls are models and not singers……..Cassie, ciara, Rihenna, miley cyrus and ashanti. They should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Mariah and Mellisa Ethridge or Mary J.
Leona Lews is simon cowell’s UK version of Mariah Carey, without the personality, without the struggle, she’s a golden skin mixed race barbie with wooden legs, aka Carrie Underwood. HORRIBLE.
Mariah is LEGEND.

@ sharmita,u gotta be jokin aight,ciara and ashanti dont sell no records huh?u can say that abt cassie but not ma girl ashanti,her ashanti album opened with 503,000 and sold 3.9 milion copies in us and 7 million copies worldwide,chapter 2 opened with 324,000 and sold 1.8 million in us and 4 million copies worldwide,concrete rose opened with 245,000 and sold 891,000 and was certified platinum and u say she cant sell records so she should ve bn out
la reid and babyface saw that she was fit to be in the song since ashanti did her thang on mother track produced by babyface on her declaration album and la reid was ashanti’s boss at def jam so he knew ma girl got it..okay
i doubt if u even know any melisa etheridge’s song,u r sayin that 2 discredit otha talented galz like ashanti down who writes her own stuff and good vocals
ashanti is better than beyonce from top 2 bottom…..that caucacian wannabe bitchonce aint got nutin on ma gal ashanti….ashanti is deep and soulful and real..she aint fake like bey……her hit singles foolish,happy,baby,rock wit u,rain on me,only u were written by her and not professional songwriters which bey hires 2 write 4 her

@ fallbackhaters,,,,yes bey shoulda replaced by nicole..nicole got descent voice…even if u compare their vocal range..nicole got strong vocals
i dont see bey as a vocalist at all…..she is screamin in her songs..that aint singin..she makes ma ears bleed with her whining
even paula deanda,jojo and kat deluna sing way bettter than that whore bitchonce whatever her name is….ul say u dont know kat deluna but the girl can sing better than mariah and bey combined too bad she aint got no good team
bey sucks big time….and soon ‘’she is goin 2 b a has been..nobody will check for her no mo koz she sucks……i cant stand her simply bcoz she got no talent and she is smellin herself..even kelly,michelle,letoya,latavia can sing better than beyyyy

LMAO Ciara had 6 words in the song! Just as it should be, they know she can’t sing.
Beyonce got in one little run at the end, she can’t get up there like Mary and Mariah. If Mariah wanted to, she could’ve hit her with an “I Stay In Love” note and ended it all. But yet, Beyonce still couldn’t keep up with just the high notes. Bey was good compared to the other little singers, but come on Mary and Mariah are legends.I loved Melissa’s part too, she’s got a good voice.

Remember they have to sing this song live, and I’m sure Babyface knows that some of these girls cant sing live so thats why the parts were given out in this order. I can only laugh at the ppl that will not give Bey the credit she deserve. Some of you guys TRY way to hard not to like her, but its still good bcuz like it or not she did the damn thing on this song. Along with Mariah, MJB, Carrie, Sheryl Crow, and Leona.
*When did Fergie get a Jamaican accent? lol, but she still sounded good. Rihanna and Miley sounded alike and that was weird for me. LMAO they still sounded good on their little parts.

L.A. Reid, Babyface, And A Whole Bunch Of Women Do Charity « Solowe’s Weblog
Friday, August 22, 2008 /
[...] L.A. Reid and Babyface are known for their sappy sweet ballads, but this time their using their signature sound for a worthy cause. Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Keyshia Cole, and a whole bunch of other female singers (you can read the cover above) have teamed up with the super producers to collaborate on the song “Just Stand.” “Just Stand” is a charity single made in support of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C). On September 5, you can check out the powerhouse divas perform the song on ABC, NBC, and CBS on a cross-network broadcast in an effort raise funds for cancer research. [CL] [...]

It is soooo tacky to criticize a song that is for charity. The nerve of some people to call the song wack.. Ya dont know whose life this is gonna change and how many people look up to those artists that are on the song. The point of the song was NOT for people to talk about who sang what and who got more time on the mic! In America people always forget about the big picture and focus on trivial things! Sh*t makes me so mad OMG! The song is uplifting… and thats all there is to it!

I dont like it. It sounds rushed, and on top of that you cant tell who’s singing. But what really irritates me is how they have so many people on the song but you give beyonce, and mary the lead parts, which honestly saddens me. I love Mary but she’s just got too happy for me these past years, she’s too overrated, she screams and welps and its just not pleasurable to my ears. As for beyonce I give the girl props she’s a great entertainer which alot of people cant do but i question her vocal ablites sometimes, even when she was apart of destiny’s child, even old school DC the other girls carried her. i think beyonce is just a good look. I dnt know

Honestly i think that this song should of have less people on it because they decided to put alot of people who are being compared to each other like
mary and keyshia
mariah and leona
etc.
but the song still doesn’t do anything for me i mean there is too many people on it and it’s hard to hear some of them ,however it may help someone else but I think it still should have an affect on everyone who hears it whether they have a family member diagnosed with it or not but I guess they put everyone on the song so that they dont cause any drama.
The people in my opinion who should have been in the song are : Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige,Natasha Bedingfield,Carrie Underwood and Christina Agulierra(sp?) this would have been a better song

Here are the lyrics:
Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though
Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into
your heart the beat goes on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up
Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle
Beyonce: You need to know
CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be
questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Fergie: It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Leona: Just because you go through it
Fergie: Don’t mean it got to take control, no
Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place
Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate
Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you
Keyshia: And sayin’ you can’t go on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Miley: Things get better
Through whatever
Rihanna: If you fall
Miley: Dust if off, don’t let up
LeAnn: Don’t you know you
Natasha: Can go
LeAnn: Be your own
Natasha: Miracle
Carrie: You need to know
Ensemble: CHORUS
Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind
Ciara: If you fall, dust it off
Mary: You can live your life
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah
Mary: Let your heart be your guide
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah yeah yeah
Mariah: And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good
Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
Mary: And it will get better
Mariah: Through whatever
CHORUS
Fergie: You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP

@#73- Girl quit with that mess. You know Nicole and Ashanti put together have nothing on Beyonce. Stop living in denial. Your trippin big time.
You stay there listing Ashanti’s “hit” singles, remember every track Beyonce seems to release charts. Check her leaked tracks on youtube…thousands of hits. People love to hate Bey (you included), ylou know when CL drop her track you’ll be one of the first to check for it.
My Bey sells. Numbers don’t lie. And to quote you; “nobody will check for her no mo koz she sucks”…boo I think you need to check Ashanti on that.

This is sooo nice. I don’t like the song but I like the fact that they are doing it for Charity. wow people stop criticizing and picking out who you love and who you hate. They are all perfect. I personally would have loved to hear more of Leanne and Cici but its still good. Can’t wait for the live performance of it though.

They should skip the singing and donate money. With what these celebrities make, they can probably cure world hunger, save the economy and send all of us to school, and then some.

there weren’t any rappers like lil wayne featured on the song because it is a song to raise money for cancer research, and my guess would be by having an all female song their leaning towards breast cancer awareness with this particular one. i like wayne just as much as the average person but i honestly think featuring him on something like this would discredit the song and take away from the seriousness of its message. this isn’t another song that needs to be saturated with his presence. but i do agree that it would have been cool if someone like lil mama or maybe even M.I.A had a line one the song, just to a range of female artist on the track.
besides that i think the overall message of the song was good and it got its point across. i think its a good inspirational song and “who sung what” and “how much whatsherface sung” shouldnt be what’s celebrated. the fact that all these artist who all somewhat rival eachother in their respective genres were willing to come together for a good cause.
i shall be slapping this one on the ipod for those days when i need a pick me up

I wonder was everyone in the studio together making the song because I know if they were I bet Ashanti and a lot more people was turning their nose at Beyonce she always on top of something and her part longer than everyone else and I can barely hear my girl CICI they did her wrong that part is too short I will make my own charity song I wouldn’t been on that because she mightest well not you can’t even hear her but you heard that little bitch rihanna I could barely hear keyshia too but Ciara I couldn’t even hear my girl and they should have switch parts with Ashanti and Ciara because cici can sing better than Ashanti hands down she can sing better than rihanna toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

this is a good song. Im tired of people asking why miley is on here. This is a charity song so they are trying to reach out to everyone and miley represent for the kids. To get children more interested in the song they get her. I mean think here people she is so influential towards children today that we look up to her. So if she is on her children will enjoy it more. Im still a kid and i can figure that out i say some people just dont think at all.

Mariah wasn’t over powered by Beyonce. They were both pretty low-key, and then mariah had to overexceed and do her whistle register at the end. It sounded pretty good to me, Agree?
