1.0 out of 5 stars I'd rather give money directly to charity, thank you., September 28, 2002

Oleander is a quality band who has, unfortunately, decided to opt for a publicity gimmick with the song "Champion." The proceeds of this single will find their way to charity, an old trick set to get their name on your lips and a warm feeling in your heart.

I gave at the door, thank you.

The song itself is weak, and cannot compare to the rest of Oleander's work. It is a hasty, pro bono, sappy, cheesy contrived piece of work. They could do better for charity, surely.

If you want to buy this record because you're a die-hard fan, and must have everything Oleander has put out, go for it. If you want to give money to the 9-11 funds, do it yourself. I'm sure your donations are needed and accepted. Don't mix the two, or confuse consumerism with charity.

5.0 out of 5 stars GR8 way to donate money toward the U.S. 9-11 tragedy victims, October 27, 2001

This CD single, Champion, also found on the Unwind CD, is a beautiful song! I bought many of these single CD's to give to friends and family, not only because the song is awesome and meaningful, ... all proceeds go to the NY tragedy victims. What a great way to do your part in support for all of the tragic-stricken victims.

Once you listen to Champion, you will most likely get Oleander's latest album, Unwind, unless you already have it. This group is great in concert, in both big and small venues. Once you see them, you will keep going back.

Is that proceeds from the sales of this single will go to help victims of the September 11th tragedy. This song is a fitting and touching tribute to those who gave their lives to save someone else's. Buy a copy and help the cause. I, as well as all the other Oleander fans, promise you won't regret it.
