WE ARE THE WORLD 25 FOR HAITI – OFFICIAL VIDEO

I know that ‘We Are The World’ has been re-recorded to help raise money for Haiti relief , (oh and let’s not forget, to celebrate it’s 25th anniversary) but some things are best left alone. The original track should never have been touched.

Lil Wayne and T-Pain “sing” their parts using autotune *HUGE SIGH*

The rap towards the end – This should have been scrapped. It just sounds so out of place.

Wyclef – I’m sorry but he sounds awful!

The video looks like it should be a part of a comedy sketch, which takes a sarcastic look at celebrities contributing to the making of a charity single.

But I haven’t forgotten that this is in fact real and has all been done for charity. I hope the re-release/updated version goes on to some how better the lives of Haiti’s earthquake victims.

Your thoughts please….

  1. I was planning on NOT watching or listening to this but for you Janice, I changed my mind. I didn’t expect to laugh this much BUT I was really happy to see and hear Barbara Streisand and Celine Dion, it’s been ages BUT Where was Gladys Knight’s solo?

    Anyway, Let’s focus on the cause. God Bless Haiti.

  2. I have to say this…… lol

    Is it me or does Wyclef sound very much like Bob Marley?? Wyclef is a good musician however the Bob Marley thing has been before and cannot be redone so it has ruined the song 4 me.

    :o(

  3. I believe it was very messy, the combination of genre did not sound right. I hope it’s profitable, Haiti needs it.

  4. It wasn’t as bad as people made it out to be, I could have done without Akon, T-Pain in the ass and Lil’ Wayne… I give them an A- it is the message that counts and lets hope they donated more than just their voices!!
