I can't wait for that Jay Sean song to drop out just so Reggie stops saying "dirty egg".. It's not funny. :angry:

 

True, but its a well known fact that Reggie isnt funny

This really could of gone top 3/top 5 if they didnt show the video so soon/move the release date back

Nope, HMV have just put a fan-made cover up for some reason, and haven't bothered to change it to the official. :P

When these natural disasters occur, we have to work together to make a difference. Please support us"

Buying the charity single will greatly aid our work and help us work with survivors in Haiti to rebuild new lives from the ruins."

 

Simon Cowell who is organizing the recording and release of the record for Haiti said: "We have a short time to do this but already we are getting some fantastic support. Right now this is an absolute priority for us all, the people of Haiti need as much help as we can give them as soon as possible, every day the situation becomes more desperate." - HMV
