After having the CDs for a few weeks, I just watched the 46664 DVD. Now I know why Abdel Wright's voice cracks like mad at the end of his solo performance: he was overcome by emotion. He was (and still is, for now) a complete unknown when he was invited to participate in this concert. Here's a kid who grew up in SOS foster homes in Jamaica and spent a short stint in prison, was plucked out of nowhere based on a demo that Bono & Co. loved and given the stage at one of the biggest charity concerts of this generation. Big up, Abdel. (See my April 20 for more details on Abdel Wright.)
