As telethons go, Hope for Haiti made the right emotional connections urging us all to donate money for the people in need on the devastated island.
Actors and artists provided 2 hours of music, messages, and optimism beamed across multiple TV networks.
I'm sure you have your favorite moments.
Jennifer Hudson's version of "Let It Be" was touching. John Legend's choice of Richie Havens "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child" was ironically chilling.
