VH1.com streaming Lennon tribute

Raising cash and awareness for Darfur. Also raising awareness of just how kick-ass a vocalist Lennon was.

Haven't gotten through all of it yet, but some of the more egregious tracks are Christina Aguilera's "Mother", Aerosmith's "Give Peace a Chance", Lenny Kravitz's "Cold Turkey," and the Black Eyed Peas' "Power to the People." REM's "No. 9 Dream" is fun, and Corinne Bailey Rae's voice works for "I'm Losing You," though as with the covers of "Cold Turkey" and "Mother," it's hard to match the intensity of the pain that Lennon was able to convey in his delivery.
