Lionel says the new performance brought back memories of working with Michael Jackson back in 1985—and shares a story he's never told publicly. "We're writing the lyrics of 'We Are the World' the first time," he says. "I'm lying on the floor, and I see out of the corner of my eye some records falling over. There's a python."

Lionel was rattled, but Michael was excited. "[He says]: 'Oh, there he is, Lionel. I found the snake,'" he says. "It's an albino python that he couldn't find in the house." <!-- s --><!-- s -->

I´M WONDERING WHY LIONEL DIDN´T INVITE THE JACKSONS AND LATOYA TO WATW 25... ONLY JANET...
REMEMBER THAT JANET WAS SITING APART OF THE FAMILY AT THE FUNERAL... <!-- s:?: -->:?:<!-- s:?: -->

"So what we did was we have Michael singing [his] exact same part with the footage, and Janet, his sister, singing along with him."

...we have michael sing with the footage... <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> ???

seems like lionel joined the 'present tense club'...

I have a funny feeling that none of the main Jacksons wanted to be involved in this remake. I know that Tito's kids were there to represent the family but that's it.

I mean the lead off singer was Justin Beiber???? <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> Not that this was the reason that the main Jackson family wasn't involved.

I dunno. WATW belonged to Michael. You mean all that creative talent couldn't come up with something new? You don't remake a classic.
