What Do You Think of the New “We Are the World”?

Check out this video of the new version of “We are the World”. It’s an excellent song that benefits the people of Haiti. If you can buy the song and/or the video, I suggest you do it. It helps out a great cause…and more importantly, it gives you more of a right to rag on this pathetic remake. I loved the original. It was a star-studded single that featured some of the biggest music stars in the world. 25 years later the song has been bastardized by auto-tune and no-talent hacks. Again, it’s a great cause and I think you should buy it, mostly so you can help out the people of Haiti and partially so you can rip it apart.

As an added bonus here’s an old SNL skit featuring Billy Crystal as Prince, with Hulk Hogan and Mr. T as his bodyguards. Some of you might remember that Prince was a no-show at the original U.S.A. for Africa recording of “We Are the World”. The mock song, “I Am Also the World”, cracks me up.

  1. On topic, I already donated so I don't think I'll be purchasing this song. I will continue to put as much distance between me and singing celebrities as I can.

    Off topic- Yeah, what's w/ Flow being free? I got a message on psn this morning from Blakseed saying the same thing. Is TGC celebrating something?

  2. @redd

    yeah blakseed told me too lol

    @topic

    when are we as a country gonna stop pretending that wyclef jean can sing?

  3. It's as horrible as the first one, in some ways…more horrible.

    I have a hard time donating when I know that 99 cents out of every dollar sent will probably be stolen. Hell, it happened here after the storm.

  4. @ Smartguy

    … and the 9/11 relief efforts.

    For as much as I'd like to trust the Red Cross… they make it harder and harder to do so.

  5. How the hell does that child at the beginning have a UNC shirt in Haiti?!?! That school is worse than an STD. I hate UNC!

  6. @NCSU

    The same reason some kids are wearing Colts SB 44 champ shirts in third world nations. That stuff is airdropped.

  7. @ topic – Uhhh…..

    @fl0w – Got that Saturday. It was cracking me up b/c my husband wanted to try it out. So I was telling him to just relax and enjoy it, and his reply basically was "I can't @##@% chill with these #%#^ controls" HA. 5 min later he was actually enjoying it.

    **random subject*** I did end up coming home with White Knight Chronicles over the weekend, and at Gamestop they have greeting card sized, 32 page "mini guide" on FFXIII.

  8. I saw this on CNN the other day, Saturday i think, this was horrible. I was like i can't believe they got auto tune singing/rapping in this song! After we saw T-pain in this my girlfriend changed the channel. They should've taken more time to choose artists carefully.
