Mariah, Miley, Beyonce join voices to fight cancer

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008


And they’re not alone. This is an Ashanti blog, after all.

Keep your ears peeled, music fans: fifteen of the hottest women in the business today, young and old, will be joining forces on September 2 on their new collective song, “Just Stand Up”. The single’s sales are going towards cancer research funding.

Even better, the fifteen women will be performing the song live on the “Stand Up To Cancer” television special, which will be airing on ABC, NBC and CBS simultaneously (probably among other networks). It’s include plenty of other celebs among the singers, including Lance Armstrong, Sally Field, Salma Hayek and Forest Whitaker.

And who are the singers? None other than Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes, Carrie Underwood and, of course, Ashanti.
