    What did you think of the Philladelphia Live 8 event?

    Tim, New York, NY, USA
    Philly Rocked...Will Smith was by far the best of the performances, closely followed by Linkin Park featuring Jay-Z...Stevie is always the man, but bon jovi and maroon 5 also rocked...The philly show was not only a great presentation of great musicians, but a great presentation of the task at hand. I feel that it may be the most important as many people in America need to be more aware of the worlds issues. A success, a masterpiece, and awesome event to say the least. Live 8 philly will live forever.

    everyone was awesome but will smith sent out a really strong message and linkin park w/ jay-z kicked some major ass. good times for a good cause

    As usual Bon Jovi were excellent what a fantastic day. I feel it has raised awareness. What a shame the press in America are so negative.

    Tim Collins, Philadelphia, Pa, USA
    The show as a whole was simply brilliant. I saw mates there that I hadn't seen in years. Over all it have a great vibe to it. Kaiser Chiefs were simply amazing as was Stevie Wonder. It was truly amazing to look at the sea of people and watch them all coexist peacefully. It brings hope of peace through out the world.

    Philadelphia was amazing. I think I would have prefered it to London, if I had the choice. Especially Destiny's Child was breath-taking.

    JOSH GROBAN, without a doubt the best on stage all night. He came on to duet with sarah mclachlan, the beautiful and haunting song Angel. Josh sang with pure emotion, wow what a performance. Only disapointment was he never got to sing alone. Josh you rock! You were amazing!!!!

    Garth, Glasgow
    I thought Black Eyed Peas and the Chiefs were the only good thing about the Philly show. They may have a population of a zillion (or whatever) but our little island put them to shame yesterday.

    I thought Kanye West did an amazing job, seeing as i dont really like his music that much. Linkin Park were also really good.. Anybody else think Philly didn't seem to have quite a good atmosphere as Hyde Park?

    Lee Sanderson, Ayrshire, Scotland
    Did anyone notice how Philadelphia had literally a completely black presenter line up? Then there was Stevie Wonder going on about Martin Luthor King!! I honestly believe that the Americans as always have completely missed the point. It's supposed to be about africa.... not Black American rights, which seem to still be a sore point in this new century. It's time America stopped being so immature and grew up.

    Kaiser Chiefs were brilliant representing England.

    Robert, Columbia, Missouri USA
    Kanye West did a fantastic job...his new song 'Diamonds' was especially important considering the tasks at hand. It is good to see hip hop artists using their medium to spread a good message.
