One World: Together at Home is the virtual respite we all need in these uncertain times. The two-part, eight hour fundraiser not only raised awareness and money for the fight against COVID-19, but provided an important reminder to us all: we must remain united in uncertain times. From superstar performances to A-list appearances, scroll through to see all the best moments!
Rise Up
Combine powerhouse vocals and emotional resonance and you get Andra Day’s One World performance. The event’s premiere singer set the tone for the meaningful day as she soufully sang alongside a montage of pandemic-related images.
Introducing a hero
Heidi Klum was joined (virtually) by her Project Runway bestie Tim Gunn to introduce the show’s first frontline hero spotlight.
Frontline strong
Dr. Anna Carvalho is one of the many healthcare workers separated from her loved ones in this time. The Vancouver ER doctor has chosen to isolate herself from her family to prevent possibly transmitting the coronavirus to her children or parents. She urges everyone to #StayHome.
Flatten the ‘curve’
Jack Black shared a hilarious video of how we can all “flatten the curve.” Although, it wasn’t the right curve.
Put those colors on
Kesha sat at her vibrant piano and plunked out a moving performance of her song Rainbow. It was magnified by an accompanying colorful slideshow.
Alright, alright
“What you‘re watching here is a way to give back to our heroes,” Matthew McConaughey said during his appearance, hitting home the true intention of the telecast. He said that the money has been raised so there’s no pressure to donate, merely sit back and enjoy the show.
#NeverGiveUp
Luis Fonsi crooned out No Me Doy Por Vencido with some six feet apart mates. “Remember to celebrate and thank healthcare and frontline essential community workers, like teachers and grocery store workers, for their selfless and brave service,” he said afterward. “For risking their lives everyday on all of our behalves.”
Wonderful (One) World
Quarantine lovebirds Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes poured their hearts into a sweet cover of What A Wonderful World.
Star in the sky
Maluma performed his song Carnival alongside a virtual guitarist.
Breathtaking
We’re still speechless from Jennifer Lopez’s stunning rendition of People, a song made famous by the ever-lauded Barbra Streisand. You just have to see this one for yourself: Watch it now here!
Smile
Concert curater Lady Gaga put a souful spin on the classic song Smile during the telecast, and we need the version to be downloadble now!
