We Are The World - 25 For Haiti

I was laughing more than I was sympathizing with this piece of shit. Ugh! This just proves what is wrong with today's music. The rap (among other things) just killed it. Michael Jackson must be turning over in his grave.
 
OK, that's TWO votes for "Michael Jackson would be rolling over in his grave". I can't speak for "what ifs", but had Michael been alive, he most likely would've been a part of this AND thought the rappers were a "great idea" to give the song "street cred". At least, if his last album is any indication of anything...

Isn't it funny that the Youtube Community SHAT on that mess of a remake that Lionel & Quincy put together.

 
After debuting at No. 2 last week, "We Are The World 25: For Haiti" by Artists for Haiti slips 2-6, though it holds at No. 1 on Hot Digital Sales for a second week. After moving 267,000 downloads in just over two days of sales last tracking period, the title sells 208,000 in its first full week of digital availability.
 
I heard it on the radio and OMG it just sucked!!! The original was hands down better.Thats about all I can say
 
My PERSONAL beef is that they made the song "modern".

The original wasn't modern even in 1985. A few parts sound like 1985 today - most notably the keyboard opening - but for the rest, it's a basic pop song performed extremely well. And that's why it did so well. It didn't just sell to pop fans who liked Cyndi Lauper and Journey. It sold to our parents, who may not have been pop fiends, but still could enjoy this good performance of a nice (if rather unremarkable) song.

The remake couldn't BE any more 2010. From the artist choices, to the overdose of AutoTune, to the production, to the extremely haphazard selection of "elder statesmen" (Ray Charles and Bob Dylan in the original, and in the remake...Al Jardine?), to the continual attempt of everybody to upstage their neighbor, it sounds like 2010 in a nutshell. It appears to be selling to the pop fans (especially those whose fave artists are on the track), but it's getting a lot of thumbs-down from anybody outside that realm. I think keeping the song as "open" as possible would've resulted in a better song, and more sales, and thus more money raised.
