US Live 8: Philadelphia review (cont.)

Bon Jovi and Destiny's Child at Live 8

At about 1 pm, Don Cheadle, actor and star of the hit movie Hotel Rwanda provide introductions of to Bon Jovi. Don was of the many actors that decided to show their support for Live 8 Philadelphia by providing their introductions.

Bon Jovi began their Live 8 set with a rousing "Livin' On a Prayer" Jon Bon Jovi was sporting a tight brown shirt Elvis looking shades. The crowd knew all the words and Ritchie Sambora hit all the right notes. A lot of scantily clad girls climbed top their boyfriends' shoulders to get a better look at the boys. They kept up the momentum with "Have a Nice Day" Ritchie Sambora switched to a double neck guitar which was pretty cool and they finished up with "It's My Life". Bon Jovi still has a lot of spunk and the sound quality of their set was great.

Actor and comedian Chris Tucker presented Destiny's Child. I could not believe the roar of the crowd at that moment. You would think that he just announced Springsteen just arrived. It must be the heat or something. I know they are popular, but this trio was getting a lot of yells, screams. And cat calls. Destiny's Child reunited in to support Live8 Philly, but their uninspiring performance was a bit of a disappointment. Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle may look hot, but their performance was lukewarm. They began with "Survivor", did "Say My Name" and finished with "Girl/I'll Take You There". They are beautiful girls but they were not nice to the ears with their disharmony. Most of the guys in the audience were glue to the video monitors in hope of seeing up Beyone's dress. Tucker seemed to be a big fan as he watched their performance from the side stage until they were done. I was hoping that Jackie Chan would have joined Chris for his introductions at Live8 Philly.
