The musical performances include Christina Aguilera singing "Beautiful" in Los Angeles; Jason Derulo singing "Want to Want Me" and "In My Head" at the Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Fla.; Rascal Flatts singing "My Wish" and "I Like the Sound of That" at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater in Irvine, Calif.; and Ed Sheeran singing "Thinking Out Loud" and "Photograph" at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. Field segments are produced by award-winning documentary filmmakers Jeff Zimbalist and Michael Zimbalist.
