We Are The World 2010 For Haiti - AWESOME!

edited January 1970 in News
I just finished listening to the remake of We Are The World. I'm very impressed. They did an awesome job with this remake, I really really like it a lot! They created an up to date version of a great song, which I'm sure will sell great, and that's of course the purpose of this remake.

Here's the video:

    It would have been awesome if Sade was there... <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
  • I loved it. I think its wonderful that Michael Jackson is still doing what he Loved to do...helping those who are in need.
    I wasn't too crazy about the rap parts, but I understand it's a new generation and feel MJ understands that.

    It also would have endorsed her CD a bit more if she was there...
    It's cool to see her after so many years.

    It was nice to see people like Tony Bennet and Carlos Santana. I like that they haven't faded like some of the older artists. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->

    Yea but did you see Gladys Knight?? They should of let her get up on it.. she can still blow!! If Tony only had like 5sec... they shoulda gave her some time

    I've yet to watch it, but PSH! She could have replaced HALF the people there with her talent.

    Edit: Not too fond of Miley Cyrus.. <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
  • Call me crazy folks...but I think I hear Michael's voice at 4:19 - not his real true voice, slightly augmented to disguise it a little bit, and then again at 4:38 - same disguise/augmentation, and in the group at 7:28. I surely do! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

    It was honoring to Michael, the other musicians, Olypics and Haiti. Job well done.
  • I have never even heard of this Justin kid until last week, and I'm certainly not a fan of Hannah Montana. They're not my style, but I can look past it, because it really seems like the older generation is "passing the torch" to the younger generation to help them recognize the power and responsibility of their celebrity. I can certainly respect that, and understand why they selected such a wide range of artists and ages. They will be the one's to carry on the legacy, and continue to make a positive difference in the world in the years to come.
  • It's for a good cause but they butchered a classic I mean I know nobody can sing like Michael but most of these people are using autotune on a classic song at least sing from your heart, and if you cant sing dont get on the track
  • Thanks for posting the video. It is a good song. There are great singers on the project. But I personally found it sad that he wasn't really there. Fans get to see and hear all their favorites but no MJ. It brings back good memories but then it makes you miss the missing piece. With so much talent there I wish they wrote another song. Really miss u much.

    It was kinda good . But its ll 4 love
    The best thing of the remake that they included MJ ! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> It makes me so happy still listening to his voice in it .

    YES 4:38 is so MJ THat voice is just PERFECT!

    Overall, I thought it was okay.
    The thing that kinda killed it for me is that it.. wasn't really, well, timeless.
    I feel like it's not going to be famous like the old watw.
    I mean, the 1985 equivalent is everyone wearing spandex and leg warmers, followed by a hardcore synthesizer solo. <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
    Maybe It's just that I feel like NOTHING is ever going to be as good as Michael. Never. Ever.
  • I don't get why some of you are so enthusiastic....
    compared with the original version it's a desperate try...
    well meant, badly done.

    Of course it is for Haiti....but they could have chosen any song..why this song?
  • Lil Wayne WTF!?!? I heard that loser called MJ a "Fagot" What a Bastard! <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: -->
  • <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->
    <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: --> ok eww I have a way different take on this.sorry but that...hmmm(don't want to call it shit)..well this SONG sucked.When I saw the previews on ET,I was horrifed but it turns out that I was BOTH horrified and BORED out of my mind.COME ON NOW! not everything that is MADE "up to date" during our times has to be crappy compared to the originals,remakes can actually be good sometimes. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->Basically,I didn't necessarily feel like it was REVAMPED,just a poorly executed gimmick to get money.Good for Haitu,bad for my ears. <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
    I was looking for it to be as awesome as the classic,but for the song to be something that I can actually enjoy listening to and doesn't represent the shallow aspects of our time.That didn't seem 2010.
    I give props to celine dion,jennifer hudson,pink,and Nicole Scherzinger for trying to make it sound acceptable. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
  • I think it's beautiful. <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> My fave part...MJ of course. Lol.
    But I have to say that although 4:39 does sound a lot like MJ, it could have been one of the Jonas brothers. Sounded like Nick or Joe.

    @MrJosephJ
    Yeah, I know what you mean. My brother was sitting beside me while I was watching this for the first time. When the camera went to Lil' Wayne I was like <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o -->. My brother was like, WHAT?! I watched the vid where he was dissing Michael. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> It wasn't just that...I've never been a fan of his. Look at some of his lyrics. And have you guys heard the audio where he says, “I’ll Murder Your Family, Your Child, Your Newborn.”?!?! But I guess people can always change right?

    I heard it too! But maybe its just someone whos voice looks like it. And at 4:19 you see someone else so.. But I hear it def!! But not at 7:28 <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
