sound really similar to Live 8th...with one big difference this time people will pay to view thoose amazing gigs and the money will be invested in projects to help stop Global Warming ( it makes more sense to me then Live 8th were tons of money where spend to organize gigs instead of using them for the couse the gigs were for).. the voices around the net are that Al Gore is behind this ( finally someone is doing something !!! evil Verena) the gigs should be held in Washington D.C. or New York for USA, London for Europe, Rio in Brasil for South America, Johannesburg for Africa and Kyoto ( nice choice) for Japan and Shangai for China.
I don't think there will be any chance to see Jamiroquai there but anyway is a good think and we can discuss about it ( and you know this are my subjects  )

Al Gore has been on this issue for years...but to everyone that really isn't up to date on this type of thing, it seems like he's only been pushing for climate care since the movie came out.
I hope they have this in Washington, DC if they do it in the USA.
Another climate discussion here: http://www.jamirotalk.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6317&start=0
I would hate for the prices to be really high for this, because not a lot of people would seriously go if they are super high..especially if they only want to see 1 act out of the 5 - 6 that might be there.
They need to find a way to continue the interest of climate care after the music stops...because that is the problem really - retaining interest after the hype has died down.
We had Live8 in my city and it was nuts...I didn't go though because I was out of town. Everyone had a great time.

Yes correct Deesh, I also hope the thickets are not gonna cost too much...but I prefer this way than Live 8's way...is great to organize something like Live 8 but I'm pretty sure with the same ammount of money they could drill tons of water in country in needs, open 20 hospitals and so on! Not mentioning "stars" apprearing there to support Live 8 and then renting a all villa in Africa x the same cost you can heal 1000 kids!! ....Brangiolina stuff!!
This way ppl knows they pay for something, so is like...is a way to make ppl responsable ..kind of.." I do believe in this so I'm pround of spending my money even if is just for a couple of songs"...but yes they have to fly low, absolutly!
Me too I didn't know much about Al Gore and his interest in this issue actually in Italy before the movie we did not have "nationwide" a very good opinion of him...but now I got informed and if I will not have my high school degree exams I'll be proud to buy a ticket and fly to London, even if by now there are not artist I particollary like!
Someone may do the same, and someone will not care of the issue but just of the music, how ever it will be usefull for the result!

I maybe a bit jaded, but I mean it out of love.
I can't speak on Live8 and how they did things because I wasnt in the planning process and don't know anyone that was. I only read stuff online that are opinions supported by so-called facts.
These same stars you listed above are going to do the same things...rent villas in Africa, fly their private jets to the gig and so on and so forth. As far as Brangelina - her adoption of the kids is more publicized than the good she did as a UN ambassador before the kids and Brad, but no one really gives her props for that.
What the stars choose to do with their time and money is their own business truthfully. I think this is great for awareness because we are conditioned to follow in what someone in entertainment does...this is strictly my opinion. But to prove that a bit true, then why is it that people are paying attention to this concert, and less attention on just regular climate care events year around that don't involve celebrities. At the same time, I give props to famous people who use their stardom to call awareness to an issue.
As far as Al Gore, many people don't know that he's been fighting this for years and I didn't know until I saw the movie either. Of course news of what someone (especially American) does good is lost in everything else and then that is spit out to the international market. Shame people get their opinions from the press, and not their own research. I am guilty too of this.
The problem is retaining and acting on that awareness. From experience I can say that it doesn't do much when you are aware of something wrong and do nothing about it. I hope some of these stars play at the gig and then follow up with this plight. But then again, as Sola told me, "Musicians can't be responsible for social change." (those weren't his exact words, but it was something like that).
I'm sorry I sound jaded - as I don't mean to be. FunkieJunkie said something in another post that stuck with me, "There is always another side to this and somewhere in between the two is the truth."
Now, of course if Jamiroquai was playing at one of these gigs...I would go Oh wait, they did...Lovebox is supposed to serve as awareness for Oxfam.

absolutly...I didn't mean "they" should do something more, I was referring to the fact that saying something and act the opposite is not a good example, stars can not be responsabile for social problems, which is Sola's point of view to me we've all involved no matter how rich and famous you are...my was just the expression of the fact I found it more usefull to let ppl pay and use thoose money for the subject of the gig than spend huges ammount of money screaming :" stop the debt" absolulty off topic and absolutly personal..and again Personally...to advice is good... but to follow whit one own example is better!
I actually saw a doc about A Jolie in Africa as ambassador for UN but still...how can you cry worm tears for thoose ppl and then rent a all place to give birth to your baby is senseless! To me, anyway I'm considering this gig anyway, for the issue and I'm superglad is gonna be streamed!
In few words Deesh I meant: is easy to speack harder to act! and I prefer ppl who act a lot talking about it or not 
reading again your post I've the feeling we're saying the same ...but your english is better so it takes a bit more than a moment x me to understand it  
I must admit I had to used babelfish for same of the words you used..but what's jaded?

Respect Deja 
Jaded is hard to explain. It basically means influenced by experience in a way that is negative. Like, I've seen so many big charity things like this that went wrong or didn't go as planned, that I am jaded therefore influencing my outlook on this.
Hope it helps.
And honey...what you described of Jolie is what most of us and most stars do. I'm pretty sure that the people you listed aren't going to find the most climate friendly way of getting to this concert and when it is over, they will go and drive their expensive, not friendly climate cars and such.
And not to be ill, but if I was giving birth anywhere, I would want the best and cleanest accomodations. If I had the money to go deliver in another country and wanted to, then I can say I would do the same thing. I don't blame her at all for that.
I don't get your stance on her really. I mean, she also brought in lots of revenue to the country and donated money to a school and the city when she was there giving birth. She could afford and have the luxury of having a child wherever she wanted to and that is her right. While I feel sorry for those at disadvantage and in poverty in countries or places I may have visited (let's say Jamaica), I am still going to rent a nice hotel room to stay in while I am there. Are you say that since I do charity work on behalf of poor people, I shouldn't stay in nice hotels when I go to countries where there are poor people?
I can't judge her because I'm sure I do things of hypocrisy also and I don't know her personally. And if you are going to say something about her, then you surely are upset with how Jay lives, right?
Much love.

oh now I know a new expression thanks
ok I let you understand my point by an example, I don't do charity maily 'cause I get it hard to find a job and "survive" ...but I try my best in little things, if I can I by fair trade ( may be silly but for me it works) even if it cost 10 times more than supermarket stuff, and I would love to visit Africa but for the kind of person I am I will never be able to go there as a turist in Kenia Malindi 'cause I will feel terrible, so the ideal for me ( and If I'll have the chance I'll do it...but still is about money) would be to go there with a volountering program! not that one cannot go in a confortable hotel...everyone is free to do what they want I'm talking for me and for my ideals. I've been living for 6 months in India and I had the chance to rent a supervilla for nothing ...but I prefered to stay in a indian home with an indian family downstairs...that's me what can I do?
I toke Brangiolina stuff as example ( I could use U2 that scream everywhere stop the debt but then get tickets x theyrs gigs selled at 80 euro...yes 80 f****ing euro, may be not theyre fault but still... is happening!!) cause few days agò I saw a video that was telling how they made all the african people of that area aorund the birth villa to go away not to have anyone around and the HUGE security they had around, anyway I don't really care of them, I'm not even sure they exist ( hey kidding) it was just an example!
but generally rich or poor famous or unknown I prefer ppl who act for what they say...was just an example deesh and is something very strong for me I had many trouble getting in touch with this community because of my ideals and understanding why JMQ are an exeption to thoose ideals and yes there many things about Jay I don't ...appreciate or like and this it create many trouble to me at least to justify this love I've for his/theyre music..now I'm absolutly off topic! We're touching really something big with this and I would love to talk about it once ...mainly if I follow JMQ since 996 but I got in touch with the Jamily since a couple of years is becouse of this..and is something I'm scared to talk about 'cause is kind of intimate and has to do with my own beliefs and the way I deal with it and why I was scared to expose myself with others fans and the fear I have of not being understood or be taken as a silly girl by other ppl, I wanted to open a topic about that many times but I'm not sure I'll be able to stand judgements upon my ethic !
About the chances of JMQ to be part of this I would really love it...it would make me proud, but I've the feeling this is mostly organized by music labels ( I'm supposing that I don't understand a thing of this stories )
I've nothing with Brangiolina ..it was generally something against people that say something and act differently and yes I know only things I saw on Tv ( Must Admit I can't stand Brad ...to me it looks plastified and once I saw a Tv show where he was complaining 'cause he's always taken for the caracters he does on movie  my suggestion to him : next life be a handyman you'll never have this kind of trouble  but I suppose he doesen't read ) but is generally and I'm sure musicians I like do not follow what they sing about to make money that's why I have trouble being a fan of someone.
Deesh it's wonderfull to talk with you I also respect you and knew opening this post I had the chance to interact about clever subject with a clever lpeople!
I know I was a bit provocative in this all topic...but I like it best things cames out by provocations and it made people think ( me as first)

Hey Deja - Much love to you. I meant to say in my first post that your English is fine - I understand you. It'd be worse if I tried to speak Italian.
To answer you, Paolo is actually Scottish. He is an okay artist actually. He's a cross between soul and pop/rock. A young kid. I like a few of his songs, but don't own the album.
There is really no one on the USA list I'd pay to see at this concert, so I won't be going, but Giant Stadium is a good place to have it. Let's hope it's not too hot during the summer. Matter of fact, I would rather be at the one in London with Bloc Party, Madonna and Chili Peppers.
I understand what you mean about doing charity and surviving.
About the birth - I want privacy too when and if I have a kid.
I think although Brangelina may seem a bit artificial at times, they atleast do things to try and help. For instance, they bought a home in New Orleans to help the economy get back after Hurricane Katrina. I am not a cheerleader for them, but at the same time - so many people criticize them and I can't say that if I had money I'd be any different. But I don't 
I totally get you about Jamiroquai and such. I also totally get you about opening these types of topics. I feel that way too and that is why I just wait until someone else does to say something. It's like I'm always on a soapbox and ranting about this stuff - but that's just me, you know? Charity work is like having children to me, since I don't have any - - so I talk about it all the time.
I think I come across wrong sometimes, but people get to know me and I think they know I'm not bragging about anything, these are subjects that interest me and I learn so much from this interaction and others.
I do dig what you say Vere and thanks for bringing this here, because I had noooo clue about it (not that I need to be in the know about everything, but I try to keep up on these things)! Have a good night.
xo

Thanks Deesha, I know this are important subjects to you too and that's why I like to came here and interact not only about Jami's Music.
Once we'll be able to talk eyes in eyes ( hopefully!!!!!!) and I'm sure I'll learn a lot and it will be a great talk full of interesting issues.
Maybe I never say it but I really respect you for the work/charity you do..recently I had to face HIV for a person really important in my life ( at least while I was a teeny) and the second thought was : I should tell Deesh how thanksfull I'm for the work she does, the first was a mixture of pain, anger and shock! so this is the chance to thank you!
I'm listening to Paolo Nutini now he's good I actually new "Last Request" but didn't know was his song! I had a listening also to "jenny don't be nasty" thanks for the link  he has a very particollary and sexy voice!
Well even if we will not be able to go to the gigs we can see them on internet, something I'm getting used to do thanks to JMQ
