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?
yeah I think your right. I could be Nick or Joe <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->
I watched the Olympics & watched the little bit they showed on there & thought it was the whole video, I was horrified because what they showed sounded awful, but I just watched the whole thing & it was better but still not what I thought it would be. & WHY THE HECK was T-Pain, King of Auto tune, given a solo?!! There were plenty of other people with at least some talent in the background, why not give it to them?!! It was okay, but I honestly wasn't very impressed. Jennifer Hudson, Mary J Blige, Celine Dion, Nicole Scherzinger, Josh Grobin, Pink, Barbra Streisand, Usher, Mary Mary, MICHAEL of course, were the only people who could actually sing. Lil Wayne singing (or trying to) a solo? The rap with LL, Snoop, etc sounded out of place but was cool, the one with Kanye flowed better with the song but I can't stand him. T Pain was a MISTAKE to even be in this song, he CAN'T sing! Never did like Miley Cyrus but she did okay, I hate the Jonas Brothers & Justin Bieber's whiney singing. It was a nice try, but didn't do it for me & not because I'm such a fan of the original but because they chose to put certain people in it. I understand it has to be updated for this generation but couldn't they update it with only people who could actually sing? I LOVED that they kept Michael's voice on his part & put him in the vid. I could barely hear Janet though.
EDIT: I just want to say, I do support the cause & appreciate the fact that they chose to redo it to raise money, the lyrics are relevant to what's going on in Haiti. It was okay, it didn't suck, I just didn't love it. It won't be on any playlist of favorite songs for me, sorry. But they did an okay job with who they had & I think it will raise a lot of money for Haiti which is awesome.
They did a good job, I just watched the video, but it made me sad... it was his song, he should've been there <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I'll give them some slack .. it being for such a urgent cause and all. If it wasn't I would've thrown a fit at how crap this version is..Seems like none of these mainstream pop artists have character. Celine and Jennifer tryed to make the best out of it but with that little boy starting out and the auto tuning at the end...they weren't able to save the song. At least we have the brilliant orginal to listen to.
That song is so POWERFUL !! Fantastic, amazingly beautiful.. They all did a great job. Very impressive indeed. The vocals are great and I think the rap part was a great touch. I bought it on iTunes. It made me cry and cry.. Went deep into my heart. I love it so much.. It is so strong. To all the world.. We all must love and help one another. I love it. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
That was amazing! <!-- s --><!-- s --> I loved it, but I did not like the rap parts keep your fingers off an amazing song and let it be just the way it is!
that was michael at 4.19!!!!!!! <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> <!-- s:o -->:o<!-- s:o --> wasnt it one of his nephews filmed at that part? i couldnt see who it was but liked that part then realised they disguised it wel !!!! <!-- s --><!-- s --> Also loved when they put janet and mj on the screen next to eachother <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
i liked the new version but the old rock the earth lol
i didnt like lil wine and the one from 3:14 (sry i dont know his name)
and the part with mike and janet...seems like janet didnt sng at all,she just moved her lips.mike did the whole think lol
but it was nice to see them toghether,janet is so much like mike <!-- s:x -->:x<!-- s:x --> <!-- s:x -->:x<!-- s:x -->
I really thought Michael from 2010 would be in it somehow. But I think I was wrong.. But that doesn't matter <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> I am sure Michael helped Lional <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> But why wasn't Lional singing?? He also made the song so he should also be singing! <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
I thought the kids would do a poem but there is no poem.. :S that sucks..
NO NO NO!!! I wasn't going to listen to it but I was too curious... The best part? Michael of course! the 2 seconds of it <!-- s:x -->:x<!-- s:x --> Seeing and hearing Michael made me cry - again. Putting him in there for those few seconds just reminds me more of his absence, although Lionel's not singing at least we see him directing but Michael... <!-- s --><!-- s --> Whenever I listen to the original version, the beautiful masterpiece, it goes straight to my heart while this version makes me go STOP, where's Stevie, Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen, Cindy?!! I know it's for a good cause but I can't help this sad feeling it invokes in me <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( --> This was the first and only time I'll listen to this version. I want you Michael and ONLY you! The absence of your magical presence is making my heart ache terribly <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
was thinking of putting on facebook etc and say whos that at 4.19? cant see from vid then non believers mite go oh its michaels voice from 2010 ill be like ok great thought do lol just a thought <!-- s --><!-- s -->
This remake is fabulous with the voices of everyone so perfectly placed and talent so excellently executed!!!
I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE RAP SECTION which brings this song up to date to include all facets of musicians. Glad to see Michael's real brothers getting their fair place for the world to appreciate and hear. Bravo !
All I hope is that the money goes to Haiti and not to bad people you know.. But I don't see any changes yet. In Holland we collected like 80 million euros for haiti. And other countries to but I don't see any difference. Maybe there were difference, but they have to show it so we know the money goes to haiti <!-- 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.
Me too I don't like rap that much but over all the song is GOOD <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
I LOVED IT TOO. i THINK MJ WAS TRYING TO MAKE THE CROSS OVER TO SOME OF THE NEW MUSIC BY DOING THE REMIXES WITH THE RAP ARTISTS. HE HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR THEM TOO. I JUST THINK THIS NEW MIX IS AWESOME AND A STEP UP FOR ALOT OF ARTISTS TO STAND TOGETHER AND DO THIS AS A GROUP. KUDOS TO THEM <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
I love the new version although i still love the old one the most.
I like the idea that the have mixed almost every artist of a different music genre,i like all music but im a big fan of hiphop, r&b, soul stuff like that.
BTW sorry for saying but wyclef is messing up that song <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: --> JMO <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
ohw and i already said i hiphop and stuff but the little rap piece doesnt really fit the song IMO but the idea of it all mixed togheter is great <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

I'm not bashing anyone for their own personal opinion, however can I ask what it is about the rap section you don't think fits ??? PLEASE please enlighten me on that.
If opera was included would that be out of place ?
I know Michael is watching us. I believe Michael is very much alive. I guessing that Michael would be asking you the same questions I am. I don't have the nerve to question what Michael's reasons are for doing anything.
In fact, I am not a die hard fan of rap in general. The repetitive beat drives me nuts, but this piece of rap was very well constructed and I could understand each and every word being sang. In view of the lifestyle of Haiti and the fact that they themselves may be fans of rap and that the Earthquake being it was in Haiti, may have been what pushed the remake of "We Are The World" which IMO most certainly should have included any new section of musical representation to be included.
Have I made myself clear????
LOVE is LOVE, LOVE is not ripping apart something that was made in the name of LOVE.
