Beyoncé - Hope For Haiti Now (Halo)

Beyoncé: "Halo"
Plucking the track from her 2009 LP, I Am ... Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé's "Halo" has become one of her signature songs. Ryan Tedder and Evan Bogart composed the song for B, which is a nominee for Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards later this month.
Live from London, the former Destiny's Child star was accompanied by her friend, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, on a piano for the acoustic rendition. Sporting long bangs and a black jacket, Beyoncé injected Haiti directly into her lyrics: "Haiti, we can see your halo, you know you're my saving grace," she sang. "You're everything I need and more, it's written all over your face/ Haiti, we can see your halo, I pray you won't fade away."
