If they just donated money, then who would know about it? Like - all just give-away and no promotion? That wouldn't make any sense.
The song is not very good, but I'm already tired of the original and I'm not normally exposed to a lot of present popular music, so I don't think this will impact my day to day life much. I think it's good that artists do this kind of thing despite possible corrupt motivations, such as artists doing it for exposure perhaps more than anything.
In the end, the result is the same whatever motivation. I'm sure you can find some way to argue that it's stupid when rich people donate money, but I think the people of Haiti will accept and appreciate them. Their opinions matter more.
