I recorded the star-studded cast fundraiser and just now got around to watching it. I've not been a huge Christina Aguilera fan, she's pleasant enough and not hard on the eyes but I'd not been drawn in in a big way.

But she sang the hell out of this song, IMHO. Towards the end, she got a little too much into that all over the place improv trilling that's so beloved of the American Idol generation, but most of it really moved me:

After that, I figured if I didn't donate, I'm an ass. I was going to anyway. People going to be fund-raising on this one for some time, methinks.
