People, do you remember the song that was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie for Africa in 1985, which had many great artists like Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Cyndi Lauper, Kenny R. , and others this piece of art was produced by Quincy Jones! I mean who can forget it! It brings shiver to my body whenever I hear it !

This song was amazing until the new version came out the one for Haiti 2010 ! I mean it's cool to help such crisis with music however this original song shouldn't be changed! I mean seriously Miley Cyrus can't sing or Justin Bieber and then you have 'Lil wayne techno voice or the gangster rap at the end of the song ! They all destroyed a very meaningful and touchy song !

Watch and listen to these two songs and compare !

Also, the singers, and those who can't sing, those who can ''Bling,Bling'' but can't really sing or fit into the category of such song !!

It was on TOP OF THE CHARTS for months...

What I don't like in the 2010 remake is that the lyrics were edited/changed and I couldn't hear the words clearly from the other singers.

Nothing beats the ORIGINAL...

i could listen/watch the original version over and over again and still get goosebumps while doing so..

the remake, however, was well, the images of the victims of Haiti made me feel sad, but the way they did the song, they just didn't do justice to it.. :(

Of course i know this song,We Are The World is the 1st song that i learned when i was 3yrs old,this is one of my favourite song but when i saw the new version of this,sorry to say but i didnt like it,the original is much waaaaaayyy better than the new one,they messed and ruined the song..In the original,all got powerful voices and u will really feel the message of the song.

i think they also changed some of the words, they should've just composed a totally new song rather than ruining a good classic..

Jay-Z had a point when he said that "We Are the World" should have been left alone...
