The good stuff

  • Messages:

    All about not giving up and finding a way to "stand up" even through life's hardest times ("The heart is stronger than you think,/it's like it can go through anything/and even when you think it can't it finds a way to still push on though" and "If you fall dust it off, don't let up/don't you know you can go on, be your own miracle").

    My honest opinion

    I want to say well done and congratulations on the song, to Mariah Carey, Beyonce Knowles, Keyshia Cole,Miley Cyrus, Mary J. Blige, Rihannah, Carrie Underwood, Fergie, Cheryl Crow, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Nicole Scherzinger, Melissa Etheridge, Leanne Rhymes, Ashanti and Ciara. I loved this song. It was writen and performed about standing up to cancer, but it can be about standing up to anything you feel worried or anxious about at the time. All of the performers sing with such sole, charisma and passion, that it gives you goosebumps. I actually cried the first time I heard it, because I find a relationship to the song. It feels good to finally hear a song that isnt about breaking up, making up or loving someone. This song is raising awareness to everyone about cancer, and giving hope to the people who have it. These singers are great role models for children, and these singers should be very, very proud and honoured to be able to sing this song. Well done guys! Chloe Thomson, Leyland
