Yesterday was an important day because of Sept 11th, and it was a day that was spent paying homage to the victims of the 9/11 atrocities. 2001 was such a catastrophic year because as well as 9/11, Mariah Carey had a public breakdown on TRL and one of my favourite singers that goes by the name Aaliyah also died. Again, music was bought to the forefront last night to pay homage to that very tragic year. Mary J Blige, Beyonce and Rihanna all took to the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City for Jay-Z’s ‘Answer the Call’ 9/11 charity concert:

Other acts who attended and took to the stage included Justin Timberlake, Kanye West, John Mayer, Diddy, Swizz Beatz, Santigold, Kid Cudi and Beyonce’s mother Tina who was spotted throwing up the Roc sign. After the jump you can check out Rihanna, Beyonce and Mary’s performances. Rihanna joined Jay-Z and Kanye West on stage for ‘Run This Town’, whilst Beyonce performed ‘Diva’ from her latest album ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’. Mary J Blige also joined Jay-Z for their oldskool classic ‘Dont Knock The Hustle’. This was Rihanna’s first performance in front of a large crowd since getting beaten up by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and she absolutely smashed it.
