: LOS ANGELES – (AP) What would it sound like if 15 of the hottest female singers joined voices? The answer will be revealed Sept. 2.
That's when "Just Stand Up" hits airwaves and iTunes. The song features Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood. All sales of the star-studded single will benefit cancer research.
The charity tune was conceived by Antonio "L.A." Reid, who produced it with longtime creative colleague Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds.
All 15 singers will share the stage to perform the song live on Sept. 5 during the "Stand Up to Cancer" television special, set to air simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS. Other stars expected to turn out for the hourlong fund- and awareness-raising program include Jennifer Aniston, Lance Armstrong, Katie Couric, Sally Field, Salma Hayek, Meryl Streep, Forest Whitaker and Reese Witherspoon.
Founded in 2007, Stand Up to Cancer is a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation that calls on entertainment-industry people and platforms to help fight cancer.

KEYSHIA WILL BE LOUD AS MARY, BUT FORTUNATELY CARRY A PLEASANT TUNE. AND UMM... *** NEED TO JUST GIVE UP. SHE'S SO OVER. lol I'M SO EVIL, BUT HONEST.

AND OKAY ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE WHATEVA, WHY DON'T THEY JUST DONATE OR SOMETHING. WHAT SINGING GON DO TO HELP? NOT A *** THING

CIARA IS TRYIN 2 UPSTAGE BEY & RIRI.........RIRI COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ANY OF THESE B!TCHES.........KEYSH IS GONNA TRY HER HARDEST NOT 2 DO ANYTHING MARY LIKE........MARY IS GONNA OUT-HOOD KEYSH........MARIAH IS GONNA THINK THE WHOLE *** THING IS ABOUT HER, GLITTER & BUTTERFLIES............AND THE REST OF THE SINGERS R MERELY INSIGNIFICANT.

WTF?!?!?! How the *** you gone put Mariah Beyonce Mary & Natsha on the same song with Riyonce Ashanti & Ciara? LOLOL somebody trynna be real funny!
Also... somebody's feelings gone be hurt during the live performance & I'm gone have front row seats!!!
:-D
WTF... LA Reid will do ANYTHING to promote his CAN'T SELL AN ALBUM EVEN IF A FREE DVD WAS INCLUDED & THEIR LIVES DEPENDED UPON IT artist
Lawd geebus!!!
I've wanted a mega song like this for a long time. Its great when top artists can get together and do something positive without the fighting and cattiness. Now I want a hip-hop joint like "Self Destruction"
@njadonis78 - You are soo right That Freedom Song was the joint and remember "U Will Know" with the men? Loved it
@NVDdark1 If you are gonna read at least get your facts straight We Are The World was from the 80's not the 90's. He'll pass on a potentially upbeat song with a strong message. It would be ironic if his azz gets cancer huh? Oh that was wrong right? Strike that from the record...
@Dre7Guevara: I know that's right! My thoughts exactly cause that's just TOO MUCH DIVA for one recording session.
Second, on this side of the ring you've got Ashanti, Rhianna, and Ciara vs. Mary, Mariah,and Beyonce on the other? That's not even fair!
One noteable omission is Ms. Nippy(Whitney). Shame she's still in training, getting the vocal chords back in fighting shape, but I'm waiting for her to come back large.
As to her one time singing partner MiMi, I can see it now:
The stage will be crowded with all the divas trying to out scream each other and MiMi flails her arms, says "Move ***" , pushes them all aside, and hits that reeeeaaly high note. Ya'll know the one...the one only dogs can register. ROTFL.
But seriously, this is going to be something else. I'm insulted at some of the lineup though.
Melissa Etheridge sounds like she HAS throat cancer, Mimi is gonna give poor Leona Lewis all kinds of attitude, Rihanna is gonna try her best to saty away from both Ciara and Beyonce, Keyshia gonna catch an attitude and get body-slammed by Mary, who was hood before she was born, and Miley Cyrus is gonna put like 80 pictures of it on the Internet to try and convince ppl that she is a real singer...and Keyshia is gonna cuss Fergie out for tryin to act ghetto all the time...Ashanti is just gonna look lost, and her part will be mixed out...and LeAnn Rimes is gonna kill it, that girl can SING, church style, with no fuss...
the 08 we are the world, my azz! lol more like the 08, i'm gonna hurl! this is nothing but a big name song. and please note, just cause your name is big doesn't mean you're 'good'. i mean, jay z's name is huuuge, and that mofo suxx azz! LOL no one should buy it! demand real talent, america! im so gonna protest! who's joining me? LOL i'll bring some chicken *** rice for yall. LOL
Mariah Carey cant sing and shes so annoying.... Beyonce is amazing, Mary J. Blige is my all time favorite, Rihanna is so dope, Fergie is cool and shes different, Sheryl Crow no comment, Miley Cyrus no commet, Melissa Etheridge is the truth...she has soul for a white girl, Ashanti isnt the best singer but she does her thing anyway, Natasha Bedingfield im not really into, Keyshia Cole has an amazing voice, so raw, Ciara is dope, Leona Lewis no comment, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood can both sing...
I wonder who will get major parts in this song???? How long is this song going to be...Its for a good cause so i will support it!
LOL- i bet you they would try to outsing each other-the only 2 i know that will move the crowd is Mariah and mary, then beyonce,Leona Lewis and carrie Underwood- all the others are backup singers.. but they had to put whitney or patti la-belle ..these 2 grand over the top DIVA would have put all of them to shame
I can imagine Ashanti now echoing "OH BABY" OH BABY"
SHMFH
OMG yall is some bunch of haters, i think a song with all these female artists will be hot and its for a good cuase i know a lot of people have had love ones die from cancer, i know i have so i will support it. And Ashanti can sing, she may not be the best singer out of the bunch but she can definitely sing. Stop the hating

Beyonce and Mariah will try to make it their song. Rihanna gone be flirting with everyone and hating on Ciara cuz Chris liked Her first. Ciara will prove her vocals. Mary will kill the Hood chick Keyisha Cole. All in while Keyisha, Leona and Rihanna will try their hardest to not be like their role models. Mary,Mariah and Beyonce.... Ashanti OMG = terrible she will mess up the song screaming. Miley, Leanne, and Keri will be the best on country side. Fergie idk just background and everyone else. Well Sheryl will kill on Country side.... WHERE IS XTINA( Christina Augerllia)!!! She is a beast in vocals!!! And when are their two Rihannas? Or the one that is a Beyonce Reject and the other is a Pink,Fefe Dobson reject that hates on Ciara!!!
@jaydbee i was just about to say what you said.bey will be degrading herself by singing with all this wannabe singer.
if this is true beyonce, mariah,mary and maybe keisha will sing the verses and sheryl,nastashe, melissa and maybe ferge will sing chorus.And rihanna, ciara,ashanti and miley will just stand in the ack and try to backup because they suck.
i still don't believe bey and the other great singer there sould sing with them but i'm anxious to hear how it will sound.
I HAD TO LOG-ON FOR THIS ONE! This is really going to suck! Half the females listed CAN'T SING WORTH *** -- they will be the loudest one's trying to outshine the rest (Beyonce, Mary, Keisha, Mariah and Fergie). Ciara needs to just dance for the song. Who the hell is Natasha Bedingfield? And LeAnn Rymes, Leona Lewis & Carrie Underwood-boring! The rest--throw them away. The only thing that will shine is their looks, not their voices. Notice THE BEST SINGER -ALICIA KEYS ISN'T LISTED...She would have blew all them hoe's out the box.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
WHO CARES?? THEY ALL HAVE AT LEAST FOOT IN THEIR CARRER'S GRAVE....
1. BEY IS AT HER PEAK, NEXT STOP DOWN 2. MARIAH LAST HOORAH WAS THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, ALL ELSE FAILS. 3. MARY (THE QUEEN) REFUSES TO GIVE UP THE GHOST LIKE PATRICK SWAYZE IN GHOST. 4. ASHANTI, WELL SHE HAS TWO FEET IN HER CARREERS GRAVE. 5. KEYSHIA, GREAT STUDIO VOICE, BAD LIVE VOICE, BAD ATTITUDE, HOOD RAT TO THE CORE AND A FAMILY THAT'S A HOT STINKIN MESS!! 6. RIHANNA, OVER COOKED HAM...BUT A TEAM PLAYER AND A HARD WORKER. UNFORTUNATELY OVER-EXPOSED. 7. CIARA, NOT CONSISTANT, MY NUMBER 5 AND 6 HAVE MADE HER OBSOLETE. 7.
"What would it sound like if 15 of the hottest female singers joined voices?" you mean 3 right??? Beyonce Carrie Underwood Natasha Bedingfeld & before you all get your panties in a bunch, i left Mary out cause she ain't been on top of her singing game & yall KNOW it... The answer will be revealed Sept. 2:)
Look you can say what you want about Fantasia and her looks but everyone and their mama knows she can sing. You always got to put her in your mess with negativity. I guess these are suppose to be the best in the industry have you all noticed that Mary is the darkest one in the bunch????? This is some industry hpy and *** like dark skinned women don't get cancer.
But hey its all for a good cuz IDK Who takes over the song imma support them watch it on either three of those channels... most likely ABC and will be it on Itunes... I think everyone should do the same... and forget about how good the song will be, just remember its for the cause. Im suprised A keys really isnt in this, not that she is a beast in vocals. But she is all for helping over in Africa with HIV/AIDS and all types of other diseases...she was even on Oprah when Oprah had that Red Campaign with Bono.
lmfao yall are funny! i say we slap up Lauryn Hill and get her to snap outa whatever that is, and have her do all the parts in the song. She's been the realest, only female fit to sing any song with meaning. The rest of these hoes is posers with a good make up team and great PR...and MTO to hype them. LOL LAURYN, SNAP OUT OF IT!
This is for a great cause and I'm happy they decided to this and I agree with some of the other posters A. Keys should have been on this track also. I guess MTO loves Rihanna so much they had to mention her name twice and I guess I'm the only happy that out of all of the women in the song MTO chose Beyonce's pic lol!!!
yup... I'm pretty sure it's gonna suck. 99% of these type of songs suck. My first thought was how did that get super over the top diva Mariah to agree to this. And I sure hope they tone Mary's part down a tad. Ya'll know how she gets. Second thought...Ashanti? ewwwwww my ears....and clearly Miley Cyrus is added to sale some units to the teeny boppers.
They need to add 1 more person...Brandy! She may have been gone for a long time, and folks may not like her too much, but there are still few in the game (secular singers, not gospel) who can get with her vocally.. I'm sure this will be nice little collabo though..I hope nobody tries to go Patti Labelle and try to outdo everyone.
MiLEY CYRUS 0H [SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM]HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE[SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM][SPAM]LLLL
NAW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH i HATE HER AND Y ALL DEM WHiTE F0LkS 0N DiS TRACK.. THEY SH0ULD PUT GET RiD 0F ASHANTi, LE0NA LEWiS(LEAV MARiAH T0 D0 ALL DA HiGH N0TES) CiARA AND ALL DEM WHiTE F0LkS, PUT M0NiCA, ALiCiA KEYS AND JHUD 0N THERE
LMAO..I gotta agree with Treasure.
IMO the only ones that can really sing is Mary and Mariah - Plain and simple.
Ashanti - talentless but halfway cute. Rihanna - GORGEOUS, but sings like she's talking. Beyonce - Only claim to fame is shaking her azz in videos - she tries to sing, but doesn't succeed. Ciara - Is truly only a dancer. Keyshia - Belts it out, but can't sing on key. Melissa, Carrie and Sheryl - All 3 are country and/or folk singers which doesn't mix with R & B.
This show is gonna be a train-wreck; Which is EXACTLY why I'll be watching with popcorn, jujubees and no interruption.
RedBeanzNRice your such a f.u.c.***.i.***. hater beyonces only accomplishment was shaking her *** WHAT! tell that to her over 130million records sold, ppl cant see beyonce shakin her *** on a CD, ppl are such haters i hate how ppl try to say beyonce dosent have talent, just b/c she dances alot ppl like to discredit her, that b.i.t.c.h. can sing her *** off and thats y she's the queen ANYWHO
Beyonce - Gone blow dem *** out the water, as usual Mariah Carey - dog sonar screaching, a.s.s live, prob tryna outshine everyone, but i like her Mary J. Blige - old a.s.s. need to sit down but i respect her Rihanna - No talent, cant sing, need to go worry about her *** bank account, she'll b singing backup prob anyway while mean muggin bey Miley Cyrus - da f.u.c.*** they should of had my wife Raven up in there if they let that no talent cuz rae sings circles around her Ashanti, Fergie, Miley - da f.u.c.***. b.i.t.c.h.e.s cant sing Keyshia Cole - if she only stayed in key, dtill love her Ciara - to busy doin her one, two, step (and thats all she need 2 b doin) Leona Lewis - too busy tryna outshine Mariah
Mariah, Mary, Beyonce - Idols, there clone copies Leona, Keyshia, Rihanna all on the same stage this i gotta, u get bey!
Well that's good but It will also be nice If they would find a cure for Aids H.i.v Diabetes and any other Illness out there It's not fair.
I truly don't care who sings long as they find a cure for the Illnesses.
*** the wealthy one's are Mariah and Mary J. hell the both of them can put their money's together and find a cure for real all of them Houses/mansions Lacs/phamtoms/range rovers/ Etc Is that necessary really?
and why would the real singers agree to be on a song with the wannabe's anyway? WTF Ashanti? ru f'*** kidding me? Why is she even mentioned, she hasn't been truly relevant beside allegedly dating Nelly for a while now. Ciara can't sing live either but at least she can dance. Keyshia,lets hope she stays on key and can deal with the pressure of being on stage with women who can really sing!
ASHANTI AND CIARA CANNOT SING! I NEVER HEARD THEM BELT OUT A SONG. THEY USE THE STUDIO VOICE THAT JANET JACKSON USES...THEY CAN ONLY GO SO FAR....ASHANTI SHOULD STICK TO BLOWING SOMETHING ELSE LMAO....NO SERIOUSLY, ASHANTI CANT SING...COME ON NOW...LISTEN TO "THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU" ALL SHES DOING IS YELLING WHEN SHES SUPPOSED TO BE HITTING THAT NOTE...WHEN HAS UR EYES WATERED WATCHING ASHANTI SING? NEVER!!!!!!!!!!! MARY J, BEYONCE, MARIAH, RHIANNA...THOSE ARE SINGERS...
I DO NOT SUPPORT "ASHINKASHAY" AKA ASHANTI...HER LAUGH IS SO OBNOXIOUS...SHE CANT DANCE TO SAVE HER LIFE AND SHES JUST SO WACK TO ME...UGH...SHE REALLY MAKES ME SICK...WHOEVER THINKS SHE CAN SING IS BRAINWASHED...WAKE UP PPL!
Ooooh awful!!! That witches brew comment is priceless!! Why is everyone asking about Alicia Keys hollering, flat, straining ***? Please if they threw her in the mix of all that hollering, 1 in every 5 Americans would lose their hearing. If you ask me, the whole lineup sucks. Whoever said Mary can hit any note did not listen to "Just Fine". This will suck on so many levels, Gotta rep for Sheryl though cause that is Pham. As for the rest, I will not be listening. I know this is for a good cause but Reid and Face could have lent their talents to some truly talented artists like Jill, Chrisette, or Jazmine?
yall are so stupid this is for a cuase can any of you dumb azzzzzzzzzz sing yall are some really stupid people in here you all sound like your miserable and your only excitments are when your logged on to this hating mess talking about people what the *** are you doing with yourselves besides writing ingnornant *** about people go get a clue stupid azzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!
