US Live 8: Philadelphia review (cont.)

Jesus Walks with Kayne West at Live 8

Before his performance, rapper Kayne West spoke of the war in Iraq, the recent tsunami and the AIDS epidemic in Africa and then made an ignorant statement questioning if all of Hitler's dreams coming are true "to only have one race left?" He might be a good performer but his statements had nothing to do with the issues at hand and the more he talks, the worse it seemed to get.

Kayne West had a ton of energy for Live 8 Philadelphia as he started up with "Diamonds", a song about talks about diamonds from West Africa and Sierra Leone. He next hit "All Falls Down". West presented "Jesus Walks" in front of an all-female string section outfitted in short black skirts and dark stripe-like masks over their eyes. He delivered some of the unforgiving words of the day, stating "politicians who drive home in their Bentleys every night and watch thousands of Africans die."
The crowd shows Kayne West some love by rasing their hands above their heads and displaying The Rockafella sign. For those who don't know this is a hand gesture that forms a diamond.

After Kayne West, actress Natalie Portman sporting a shaved head introduces the video feed of Coldplay from London Live8 show. (Her shaved head is due to a role in an upcoming movie titled V for Vendetta) It looks like the people in the London Live8 show are having a blast. From the background and the sky, it looks like it is a bit cooler there as well. Natalie is a good speaker and even with a shaved head is pleasant on the eyes. Her words for the Live 8 crowd seemed genuine. She is most popular for her role in Star Wars as Queen Amidala, ruler of the peaceful planet Naboo. It is different to see her with hair. In her role in Star Wars, her hair styles seemed to change from minute to minute.
