<p>Motown legend Stevie Wonder, who performed Bill Withers&#8217; &#8220;Lean on Me&#8221;, wasted no time in bringing politics into the debate saying after his performance: &#8220;Anyone who believes there is no such thing as global warming must be blind, or unintelligent. Lord save us all.”</p>
<p>Beyonce was swift to follow in the Superstition singer&#8217;s footsteps  saying in a pre-recorded video: &#8220;Natural disasters don&#8217;t discriminate.</p>
<p>&#8220;They don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re an immigrant, black or white, Hispanic or Asian, Jewish or Muslim, wealthy or poor.</p>
<p>“The effects of climate change are playing out around the world everyday.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just this past week you’ve seen devastation from the monsoon in India, an 8.1 earthquake in Mexico, and two catastrophic hurricanes.</p>
<p>&#8220;It doesn’t matter if you’re from Third Ward or River Oaks, we’re all in this together.</p>
<p>“We have to be prepared for what comes next.”</p>

<p>During he evening many stars came together including Usher and Blake Shelton joining for &#8220;Stand By Me,&#8221; .</p>
<p>Justin Bieber, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, Al Pacino, Lupita Nyong&#8217;o, Jay Leno and dozens of others sat at phone banks to accept donations. Beyonce, Will Smith and Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson sent in taped pleas for support during the event, shown on more than a dozen television networks and online simultaneously.</p>
<p>Originally conceived as a benefit for victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, the &#8220;Hand in Hand&#8221; telethon was expanded to help people in Florida and the Caribbean devastated in recent days by Irma.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re here to raise money, lift some spirits,&#8221; said Jamie Foxx, standing with actor Leonardo DiCaprio.</p>
<p>&#8220;When tough times hit, this is who we are. We&#8217;re compassionate. We&#8217;re unstoppable.&#8221;</p>
<p>The quick-moving show took a form familiar to viewers since a sad template was set in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks.</p>
<p>Celebrities requested donations, told heartwarming survival stories involving people caught in the storm and sang songs.</p>
<p>Several organisations will benefit, including the United Way and Save the Children.</p>
<p>Stages in Los Angeles, New York and Nashville, Tennessee were filled simultaneously, although the night&#8217;s final performance a tribute to Texans by George Strait, Robert Earl Keen, Chris Stapleton, Miranda Lambert and Lyle Lovett was shot from San Antonio.</p>
<p>&#8220;Despacito&#8221; singer Luis Fonsi and Tori Kelly sang &#8220;Hallelujah&#8221; together.</p>

<p>Dave Matthews picked his guitar from a studio above Times Square, and Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley, Demi Lovato and Cece Winans sang the Beatles&#8217; &#8220;With a Little Help From My Friends.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wonder, backed by a gospel chorus, opened the show with the Bill Withers classic.</p>
<p>Cher and Oprah Winfrey told the story behind a frequently-seen picture of strangers forming a human chain to save someone from flooding in Houston.</p>
<p>Donations were announced from some deep pockets.</p>
<p>Computer maker Michael Dell and his wife Susan pledged to match the first £7.5 million in donations Tuesday.</p>
<p>They&#8217;ve given a total of £31 million to the Rebuild Texas Fund. Basketball star Chris Paul gave $20,000 and said the NBA Players Association would match donations of up to the same amount given by any NBA player.</p>

<p>Houston rap artist Bun B and Hollywood talent manager Scooter Braun organised the event.</p>
<p>Braun said after the show, all the celebrities manning the phone banks stayed to take more calls.</p>
<p>He said: "No one left everyone just kept answering phones and answering phones and answering phones.</p>
<p>"People want to give. Like, people want to help. And you don't have to be a celebrity to do it."</p>
<p>For many of the stars, the storms hit close to home.</p>
<p>Lusi Fonsi said: "I have family in Puerto Rico, I have family in Miami. I've been on the road. I haven't been able to be there. So you can imagine how it's been."</p>
<p>He noted that his experience paled in comparison to the pain the storms have caused for many.</p>
<p>"You can imagine how frustrating it is to not be able to sort of protect your own family," he said. "Imagine all of these people that have nothing to do. The videos that you see online.</p>
<p>"So as an artist, as a singer, I think it's part of our job, it's part of our resume, to take time off and come together and do these kind of things."</p>
