Starburst is doing something called the Contradictions project where they are partnering with VH1's Save The Music Foundation to help out music programs across the country.  One of the things they do is have people vote on their favorite performances from a band covering a song that sounds different than what they normally do (A contradiction...get it?). It's a pretty cool idea.

One off the top vote -getters was 30 Seconds to Mars doing an acoustic Cover of U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name" complete with a gospel choir singing on stage with them. Check out the video of Jared Leto channeling his inner-Bono below!

You can read more about the project on the Starburst Facebook Page. Or find out about Vh1's Save The Music Foundation on their website.
