This is the 25th Anniversary recording of the new 2010 ‘We Are The World’ for Haiti, featuring over 80 artists and performers. I’m my humble opinion I don’t think it’s as good as the original- possibly because it clocks over 8 minutes in length.
It’s still good for a watch though just to see all the appearances.
Honestly, I just can’t see this song getting as much airplay as the 1985 version. Does Justin Bieber really deserve the first solo? And as for the “rap” around the 6 minute mark, it just sounds incredibly cheesy.
Still it’s important to remember that this song was made primarily to aid Haiti and to celebrate the legacy of Michael Jackson. That alone should be enough to pay for the single and/or donate.
