At the annual Conde Nast Fashion Rocks concert Friday, an impressive number of current female pop stars took to the stage to perform the new benefit song, "Just Stand Up." The performance, featuring Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Leona Lewis, Keyshia Cole, Ashanti and Ciara, aired live on the Stand Up To Cancer telethon. If you watch the video, you'll see that young Miley is clearly the vocal weak link, but she makes up for it in enthusiasm. Based on the photos, Beyonce was sporting that wig for an Etta James tribute. I think… I hope.
