Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Ashanti, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, Leona Lewis, LeAnn Rimes and Carrie Underwood – have joined together for the song “Just Stand Up,” a new charity single in support of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C).

Sheryl Crow is teaming up with Rock The Vote to get Americans registered to vote for the 2008 election. Crow is currently offering a free download of her song "Gasoline" to anyone who logs onto the Rock the Vote Web site or anyone on the group’s mailing list. Also, as a part of Rock the Vote’s voter registration drive, Crow will give a digital copy of her newest album Detours to the first 50,000 people who get three friends registered to vote. "I have been involved with Rock the Vote since its inception and proud of the work they have done. There are such critical issues facing our country, from high gas prices to climate change that we need to do more then just register to vote, we need to get our friends registered too," said Sheryl Crow. "We are thrilled to partner with Sheryl Crow to register young voters," said Heather Smith, Executive Director, Rock the Vote. "Bringing together music and politics is core to Rock the Vote's mission. Working with Sheryl, we can reach out to her fans and encourage them to register and encourage their friends, family and co-workers to do the same." Crow, who has advocated for political issues in the past, suggests that more musicians should use their music to promote issues that affect Americans. "There was healthy competition among artists to create art that was commercial and political at the same time," Crow told Billboard.com. "Our music [now] is not representing the times -- at least not socially and politically. Or maybe we're just distracted." Rock the Vote hope to have registered 2 million voters by November.
