Tomorrow is the Live Earth concerts to raze awareness for global warming. Since that there are concerts in Japan and China they will have singers from Japan and China. Will anybody be watching or listening to these concerts? I will be watching on TV, but I think that NBC will care more about American acts more then Japanese acts.

Yeah, I'm really excited to be seeing this less for the environment and more because I get to hear artists from all over the world. I think they might stream each concert live on MSN but I'm not sure about that. I'm gonna see if they still have tickets for the one in New York...

The Tokyo concert starts at 11:00 PM EST tonight. I don't know about you but I'm not going to stay up all night listening to a concert. I hope MSN will have videos from the concert after it ends.

I'm watching the aussie one right now. Cocco, isn't that the same performer as the artist who sang the ranma opening?

Japan. ABS did the Darker than black theme I think I'm watching RIZE right now, punk rock band. Saw a bit of Genki Rockets. That performance raped my mind, it's just a huge holographic asian chick dancing on stage. |

Watching it right now ON MSN's site. Xzibit kill it, but the Japanees probably understand 10% of what he was rapping about. Looking forward to the Linkin Park concert, but the Abingdon School Boys playing right now is not bad at all. I recognize the D.grayman openning theme song. However ABS is into the drag-queen scene, with the school girl outfit and makeup.

I wanted to see more of the Tokyo concert but it was getting past my bedtime. When Otuka Ai was left the stage that's when I finished watching. I liked Rize, that lead singer is so hardcore. I liked the opening with the holograph but after five minutes it kinda got boring. The Chili Peppers are on in London right now.

No surprize that the only non-American proformers Bravo showed from the Asian Live Earth concerts were the 12 Girls Band (not that it is a bad thing). Live Earth New York has just started and I can't wait for the last two acts (Roger Waters and The Police).

didn't Bravo cover the Live Earth from China? On Msn one can still watch the Tokyo concert. That boy school is playing and they are mush different than what I thought they would be. (I thought it was a boys choir by the name but I was badly mistaken) They're pretty good.

Bravo showed highlights from the concerts across the world (and giving advice on how to be eco-friendly). As for MSN the video doesn’t work very well for me. And it doesn’t look like Abingdon Boys School were dressed like school girls (of course I don’t know much about the band so I could be wrong).

It works on Internet Explorer. I thought the Tokyo performance was one of the best ones. I liked how Live Earth introduced new music.

Abingdon Boys School is the new band for the TM-R vocalist. According the MSN profile, they're named after the school the members of Radiohead attended--hence the school uniforms.
I'm watching the MSN stream, but I'd rather actually see Kumi on the TV. The only "highlight" they've shown from Japan since I started watching was less than a minute of YMO

MSN is now letting you watch any parts of the concerts online now. And the video isn't as jerky as I was when I tried to watch it live. Going to watch the Tokyo concert now.
