Look what someone wrote about the son'g background on wikipedia:
Background
The original roster of artist line-up was originally spearheaded by Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, and Whitney Houston. However, plans were scrapped after difficulties arose between Houston and Dion[2]. As the list of the second roster of artists was made for the songwriters, Sony Music and Mathew Knowles bid $500,000 for Beyoncé Knowles to sing more lines than any other artist. [3] Disney donated $76,000 for Miley Cyrus' inclusion to the roster of artists.[4] Rapper Jay-Z penned $95,000 for Def Jam Recordings artist Rihanna to sing the second most number of lines after wife Beyoncé[5]. Clive Davis reportedly submitted a check containing $275,000 to the charity single for the inclusion of Leona Lewis [6] and $290,000 for Carrie Underwood's participation[7]. Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds contacted Mariah Carey to sing the climactic high note and she gladly accepted.[8]
Solange Knowles was also endorsed by Mathew Knowles, however; she was rejected by the charity single executives in favor of Ashanti[9]. Christina Aguilera was originally offered the part of Carrie Underwood but RCA pulled her out of the charity single due to the editing of her adlib parts in favor of Underwood and Knowles' vocals.[10] Beyoncé Knowles donated $250,000 for the inclusion of fellow R&B artists Ciara and Mary J. Blige, to sing the parts originally for Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson.[11]
Dammm... now THAT is ********...

 I bet Beyoncé didn't like the fact that Jay-Z payed for Rihanna's parts 
And by the way isn't that fake?

Whitney vs. Celine = EPIC
Solange vs. Ashanti = EPIC FLOP
Beyonce, Ciara, & Mary J. Blige vs. Alicia Keys and J. Hudson = RUN AND HIDE

LMFAO. Absurd.
Lace fronts HAD to be made for Beyonce for the live performance. Sorry, Kelendria and Tenitra!

If one listens casually, you don't even hear Natasha, LeAnn, and Ciara. How irrelevant.

Still, maybe, true? Is it even possible?

...about the Wikipedia post? Btw, I like Rihanna's, Natasha's & Ashant's parts.
Mary is the lead on the whole song, let's face it. Carrie & Keisha are so not for it, if you ask me...  Beyonce is JUST ok. More from Ciara would be good. Melissa is?  Mariah? - Nothing special!  The song is very beautiful, I already love it!!!

WHITNEY HOUSTON is the missing piece to this song!
Mary J. Blige definitely stood out the most to me. Her part makes you really wanna STAND UP. Absolutely AMAZING.
Beyonce was great as usual...it was nice to hear Mariah actually sing rather than whisper. Leona and Mariah sound alike. I liked Natasha and thought Carrie was good...I normally don't pay attention to her.
Fergie and Rihanna's creative additions were nice.
Ciara, Ashanti, and everyone else were just used as fillers...which is sad.
No comment on Ms. Cyrus.
Overall a wonderful and very inspiring song.

Rihanna did well. It's weird to hear Miley withe her! Very strange, but after a while it's cool. Sounds great!
