As previously reported, female music heavy-weights, including Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna and Mariah Carey, came together to record ‘Just Stand Up’, in aid of the ‘Stand Up To Cancer’ campaign. The track itself, which I must say is pretty good, made its debut today on various US radio stations. You can listen to it below, as well as peep the full list of featured artists:List of featured artists: Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Keyshia Cole, Fergie, Miley Cirus, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Ciara, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Leona Lewis and Leann Rimes.
Hit or Miss?
Hit! ALL the ladies sound nice.
Nice track! They let the strong voices lead and the not so strong voices fill in the background vocals. Pretty cool given that you can still hear their individual voices (even in the background).
This is a really great song, where was Ashanti and Ciara because i did not here them at all.
Its a great song the let the best ppl carry the song and rihanna sounded good singing her lil part she had
But Beyonce, Mary, and Mariah called it they sounded great
Its a great song the let the best ppl carry the song and rihanna sounded good singing her lil part she had
But Beyonce, Mary, and Mariah killed it they sounded great
Ok who is that sounding like a lil Christina on the 2nd verse after BEY is it miley if so that’s a good look, but ok i can’t tell where natasha,keyshia,ciara,Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow,and Melissa Etheridge come in at can someone put like a list of who they think sings what sorry if i’m asking for too much here just interested.
QUEEN BEE STARTS OFF SOUNDS GREAT!!
this is a hott-sped-up-chipmunk-on-a-vocoder mess. the only people you can really distinguish are Bey, Mary, kinda Mariah and Rihanna at the end. great message but just let the women sing without tryna use tricks to cover the other voices. if the cant sing, they shouldnt be on the track. that simple.
i love it…. all i can hear is bey, and carrie underwood and mary j and of course rihanna
Dat was hottt…effort was actually put in this song,coz vocal arrangements r pretty good…U go Bey!!! 🙂
i like it alot! it was a really good song
these are the people i heard, bey (yes!) mariah (her high note),rihanna (sort of) fergie,a lil melissa ethridge, and a lil natasha bedingfield, and mary j. thats about it but bey,mariah, and mary killed it! even though this isnt a competition i just wanted to put that out there lol
SAM!!! THA S*** IS HOT!!! I GOT THAT S*** ON REPEAT BABY!! CANT WAIT TA BUY IT THO!!
i hear every body but ci ci……..love rihanna part
its better than what i expected but where was keyshia cole?
charity single… that means rihanna’s not making any guap LOL
broke ass
Ummmm…it’s a nice sentiment.
Well…the song is great…n if u listen to it several times u'll be able to find almost each ladie's part…though i can't really find Ciara & Keyshia on it…i luv Bey, Mariah, Leona & Mary parts…they sounded really good!
Like everyone said, this is a great song.
I hear Bey,how could you miss her, Mary J.,Natasha, Mariah, Leona, Sheryl, Carrie, well basically everyone except Keyshia(dont know why cause her voice stand out) and I figure Ciara is just the thing that sounds like a man in the background.
I'm LOVIN THIS SONG! I love Bey at the beginning, MJB, Mimi, & Fergie little Reggae flow at the end! FIYAH! DEFINATE CLASSIC!!!
ahem. miley. definitely NOT supposed to be on the song.
and ciara plus ashanti. couldn’t distinguish them at ALL.
replace those 3 with Jordin, Christina, and Alicia and all is perfect with the song (=
Where was Ciara, Miley, & Ashanti? nd why did they have to put the so called 'Queen Bee' first? She just mean she gone be first in everything….
My opinion don't nobody get MAD…
Beyonce: The heart is stronger than you think
It’s like it can go through anything
And even when you think it can’t it finds a way to still push on, though
Carrie: Sometimes you want to run away
Ain’t got the patience for the pain
And if you don’t believe it look into
your heart the beat goes on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall, dust it off, don’t let up
Sheryl: Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle
Beyonce: You need to know
CHORUS
Sheryl: If the mind keeps thinking you’ve had enough
But the heart keeps telling you don’t give up
Sheryl/Beyonce: Who are we to be
questioning, wondering what is what
Don’t give up
THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
Fergie: It’s like we all have better days
Problems getting all up in your face
Leona: Just because you go through it
Fergie: Don’t mean it got to take control, no
Leona: You ain’t gotta find no hiding place
Keyshia: Because the heart can beat the hate
Leona: Don’t wanna let your mind keep playin’ you
Keyshia: And sayin’ you can’t go on
Rihanna: I’m tellin’ you that
Miley: Things get better
Through whatever
Rihanna: If you fall
Miley: Dust if off, don’t let up
LeAnn: Don’t you know you
Natasha: Can go
LeAnn: Be your own
Natasha: Miracle
Carrie: You need to know
Ensemble: CHORUS
Mary: You don’t gotta be a prisoner in your mind
Ciara: If you fall, dust it off
Mary: You can live your life
Rihanna/Carrie: Yeah
Mary: Let your heart be your guide
All: Yeah yeah yeah
Mariah: And you will know that you’re good if you trust in the good
Ashanti: Everything will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark, if you follow your heart
Mary: And it will get better
Mariah: Through whatever
CHORUS
Fergie: You got it in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
You got in now, find it within now
You got in you, find it within
Find it within you, find it within
Everyone: THROUGH IT ALL, JUST STAND UP!
This is a great song. Queen Bee shined, like always…lol. Carrie Underwood and Rihanna (Surprising) sounds good. But I can’t hear Ciara or Ashanti. But I kind of feel like she is going back and forth with someone in the first verse…at the part where it says, “Don’t you know you can go be your own miracle”. I think I definitely heard her at 1:22. But I did hear Keyshia in the second verse at 1:19 before Ashanti and at 3:05 saying “Don’t give up, Don’t give up”. I’ll be honest though, I think it’s a shame that you have to listen to the song a thousand times to see if an artist is indeed on this song. I kind of feel like they shouldve spared a few (like fergie, miley) so that all the ladies could have equally been heard. How can we distinguish someone when their only singing one word??? But nonetheless, they all sound amazing! Mariah really stood out for me though…And besides, it’s for a great cause that I’m definitely going to support!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THANKS 4 POSTING THE LYRICS!!! I’M LESS CONFUSED NOW…AND BOTH CIARA AND ASHANTI SOUND GREAT!
Great song! Let’s put it this way if you can’t distinguish someone’s voice that may speak volumes about how talented they are…I’m just saying. I think they distributed the parts perfectly…everyone who could actually carry a large part got one.
Mariah, Mary j, Bey & Natasha are by far the standouts. the end w. mariah & mjb is amazing, my favorite part by far. the song its self is meaning full & amazing. im maddd they gave keyshia one line, shes a great talent.
I love it! Very nice. I can only distiguish a few voices though. I wonder if they’ll ever perform it live?
their gonna perfom it 2gether sept 5
^ Where at?
All 15 singers will share the stage to perform the song live on Sept. 5 during the “Stand Up to Cancer” television special, set to air simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS. Other stars expected to turn out for the hourlong fund- and awareness-raising program include Jennifer Aniston, Lance Armstrong, Katie Couric, Sally Field, Salma Hayek, Meryl Streep, Forest Whitaker and Reese Witherspoon.
i like it
I think the parts should have been distributed more equally. Ciara had one line, thats like what the f*ck??? And damn give Rihanna a bigger part because she's the it irl, WOW! Good song, but I wish to hear more of the R&B vocalists liek Ashanti, Keyshia Cole, Ciara…
NICE SONG!!! wow cant wait for the performance of all the ladies!!!!
it’d be so BIGGGGGGG!!!
love fergie part at the end , dont know but tht chick got a jamaican accent when she sings lol maybe it just me….lol whatever!!! STAND UP!
Bey, Mary J, and Mariah were off the chain at the end of the song! After listening to the song several times, I am to pick some of the people a little more. I like the little accent Fergie brought at the end. Rihanna sounded pretty good on her part and I thought Miley did pretty good too! lol
Ashanti, Ciara, Keyshia all had really small parts, but I love the song none the less!!!
Nice!
:]
Wow it actually sounded good! I thought it was gonna be bad with all the diff. voices but its good! I loved Beyonce’s part, Ashanti’s, and Mariah’s. Even Rihanna sounded better than I thought she would.
It sounds really nice.. Should’ve known Bey would start the song.. lol

SOUNDS HOTT.. CANT WAIT 4 THE VIDEO!
Some of the people who read and comment on this site are idiots! I doesn’t matter who sung what part, where and what time, and peoples comments on who should have sung instead of whoever else is just stupid! All these people have given up their time for charity…cancer! so they should just be comended for taking part. Sam! owner of this blog! you should start taking control of the blog and what people write, start writing comments or resonces instead of spending all your time hating on Rhi and other artists.
I love Melissa’s voice. First of all I heard everybody but Sheryl Crow and Ciara. Stand outs (imo) Melissa Etheridge, Natasha Bedingfield, Leona Lewis, Leanne Rimes, Mary(guessing between Mary or Leanne pulling that Christina) and of course that high note, no question…Mariah.
@ Frederick.
LMAO. That Was Too Damn Funny. =]
I LOVE IT!!!!! EVERYONE SOUNDS GOOD ON THERE PART!!! AND I LOVE THAT THEY ALL CAME TOGETHER LIKE THIS….I LOVES IT!!!!!
I AGREE WITH WHO SAID THE PARTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LIL EQUAL AND I UNDERSTAND THE LET THE STRONG VOICES LEAD THE SONG BUT KEYSHIA COLE HAS A STRONG VOICE AND SHE GOT ONE LINE HER AND LEONA LEWIS… ASHANTI SOUND GREAT SHE COULD HAVE GOT A LIL MORE LINES TO…BUT OVERALL SO WAS GREAT!!! I LOVE MARY BEY WAS REGULAR…FERGIE WAS GOOD TOO…LOVE CARRIE… I LOVE THE WHOLE DAMN SONG
Fredrick that was wrong, even though riri needed help with her vocals. Queen B was great as usual, Mary, Ashanti, Carrie, Leona, it is a HIT…..
@ anonymous 1:07am. I try
but, didn’t i predict this? I knew Beyonce was gonna come in first, sing the most, and there were gonna be some divas who weren’t gonna get shine (ex. Ciara got candlelight compared to Bey) because their names aren’t big enough… they might as well not be IN the song.
It’s a nice song. To whoever listed everybody’s part, you either have the best ear, listened to it a few 100 times or someone gave you the parts, cuz on just a couple of listens, it’s very hard to tell who singing what except for Bey, Mary, Mariah, Melissa and Rihanna. Carrie sounds almost identical to Christina Aguilera. I think Babyface and L.A. mixed the song too much. All of these ladies have very different voices, but some parts sound like the same person. And they do need more even distribution of lyrics. But I guess they wanted certain people to stand out so that the public would subliminally like the song more by having the “It” ladies sound like their normal selves.
It’s a hit Sam. It’s stuck in my head since last night, and it’s quite pleasant. I can distinguish most of the ladies’ voice [Yes even Miley’s]. Some immediately stand out like Beyonce, Mary, Maria, Carry, Rihanna, Fergie…Great job ladies.
Sorry I’m not a fan of this song. It sounds like a singing contest. Too many adlibs..
To one of the comments above: Rihanna may be the “IT” girl of the momen, but this track showcases vocal talent…hence, her one liners. Anyone find it interesting that Rihanna has an islander accent, but Fergie did the last verse with it. Hmmmmmmm….
i like the song, btw you can totally hear leona lewis you guys, no one mentioned her!
listening to it again i really really like the song and those lyrics helped soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much, i mean i already liked it but now i want to buy it for sure,and the end part was def the best part
like i said before it was all for a good cause so its just wonderful
Sounds good for a charity song this is one of the best yet, good voices.
Beyonce, Carrie, Rihanna,Mary and Leona sound the best, don’t really like Fergie’s voice but hey at least she don’t sound like a kid, sorry Miley but your not a good singer, Britney or someone else would of sounded better. It do well though
I forgot to mention Ashanti has a nice voice too and Ciara sounds ok but they should of had more lines, Miley should of had their lines or less
The reality is Ciara, Ashanti, and Keyshia (who I think is talented) didn’t get big parts because they are somewhat under the radar compared to the other singers. Basically they are only famous in certain circles. I’m sorry but they didn’t need Miley Cyrus on this record. Leona Lewis sounds a lot like Mariah. Its all for a great cause so who cares?
why does everyone keep saying ashanti, ciara, and keyshia got the smallest parts..if you read the lyrics natasha bedingfield only got 3 WORDS lmaoooo..and leann rimes part was just AS SMALL as ciara’s..keyshia didnt even sound like herself to me at all..i thought she was one of the white singers lol..ashanti’s part was just as long as keyshia’s(both got 2 lines) rihanna and miley sound just alike on their parts lmao..and smdh at fergie and her fake ass accent..that s*** aint cute
People Beyonce got a WHOLE VERSE.lol thats what u call superstardum.lol but great song ciara and ashanti i think should get smaller ppart keyshia had 2 lines and she souned great. but yea this is going on my iphone when it comes to itunes
beyonce didnt get no damn whole verse
Did you know that Christina was meant to sing over vocals towards the end?
The Bit that I think Underwood does?
But pulled out because record labels WERE BIDDING for people to sing.
Mathew Knowles paid $500,000 for Bee to sing the most etc.
TBH, that’s sick on a charity single.
That’s why Xtina isnt on it, and same with Alicia and P!nk.
🙂
^^ That is so random! Since Mathew paid $500,000 I guess Fergie’s manager paid about $1,000,000 because she sings the most. Everybody keeps saying that Bey song the most, but Carrie had the same amout of parts. She even had adlibs. Ppl always have to find something wrong with Bey! LMAO!
they could care less about cancer. those women disgust me.
thats son was banging…those ladies nailed it i cant wait to see the liive performances
u guys are missing the whole point of the song!!!!!
beyonce, mary, mariah, melissa, fergie, and leona rocked it 4 me! i instantly could tell them apart from the 1st listen, and the song wouldve been just as good, if not better if it was left to those 6 ladies alone.
I really love this song! Especially the bridge with Mary and Mariah! 🙂 And Beyonce did not sing the most parts! Fegie did!
queen bey is the best. of course she started it off. bey, mary, and mariah killed it. the queens of the game.
