Did anyone hear someone say "ow" suddenly at the celeb telethon?

When they were singing “America the beautiful” I heard someone (female voice) go “ow”, anyone else hear that?

I stubbed my toe really bad. Sorry :smiley:

Oh, sorry, must have been on my coffee table.

You sure it wasn’t Mariah screeching?

Yes, I believe that was it. Just good ol’ Mariah going hypersonic again. When she does it, it can temporarily paralyze my Jack Russell terrier if he is within earshot.

no but i did see tom cruise fluff his lines, ace

I figured Neil Young accidentally head-butted someone.

LOL Stofsky. Earlier in the program we were debating whether the young singer who sounded JUST like Neil Young was his son. The debate went on and on (“Nah, he’s too good looking to be related to Neil Young.”/“Neil probably bagged a supermodel so his genes were diluted…”) until the very end when they both started swaying in synch. That cinched it for us.

I did! I did!
I could also hear some guy prompting the words to each verse.
What the ???

Also, i tuned in a little later, was that Celene Dion singing “God Bless America?” anyone else sense the little bit of irony?

Not really. She’s an American. Canadians are Americans, you know.

Come to think of it, isn’t it typical of us to have hogged the whole continent for our national designation? On the other hand, it’s kinda awkward to say “United Statesian”.

You mean Eddie Vedder…you should have heard the women in chat drool over him.

I saw several celebs flub lines at that point of the song. I don’t think they were expecting Willie to do the 2nd (or was it the 3rd?) verse so they were reprising the first and realized their mistake.

Stoid, ask Matt_Mcl if he’s an American; unless I miss my guess he’ll agree that: citizens of Canada are Canadians, citizens from the United States of America are Americans.

And, I thought the same thing about having Celine sing that…

Even if canadians are considered americans, remember that the song was written about the USA, canada was not considered in it.

Huh! Ask Scottish people if they consider themselves English :smiley:

The rest of us were wondering what alley they found Clint Eastwood in.

I mean, come on, he must have rolled a bum to get that brown jacket. Even Tom Cruise sported only a one-day beard for this occasion. The least Clint could have done was tuck in his shirt.

For some reason I thought Stallone was dead, and why was Michel Jackson there? I didn’t see any boy bands, can you think of anything else he’d be there for? Maybe he thought that DeVito was a little bald kid.

Actually, I thought he looked OK… just “old” now.

He had his pants up over his gut like many grandpas. Kinda sad really. I didn’t think tough guys could get old.

I was confused by that too, but then I realized it was Muhammad Ali, “singing” along. He wasn’t able to actually sing so well, so he was just sort of speaking the words.

Actually, I don’t think that was Ali. Didn’t sound like him to me. I think the “singers” (or most of them) had earpieces so they could get prompted the words, and we could hear that somehow.

At least, thats what I thought it was.
