Several new voices have united to remake the classic 1985 song "We Are the World" as a combined Michael Jackson tribute and benefit single for Haiti.
New voices unite for 'We Are the World' - USATODAY.com (http://www.usatoday.com/life/music/news/2010-02-02-we-are-world-main_N.htm)
I remember that about this time 5 years ago, a NYC hip hop radio station made a parody of this song to mock victims of the 2004 South Asian tsunami, and that was really appalling.
Anyway, today, many new musical artists are remaking the song as it was originally intended; to show generosity and compassion for one another in times of crisis.

In the UK they're getting a bunch of rubbish pop stars to murder Everybody Hurts by R.E.M. - I think I'll just donate money directly.

I think this remake is gonna be a great tribute.
Another Michael Jackson song with a similar theme that they should remake is "Heal the World."

That is a pretty dire list Shiny posted. The only one I like is T-Pain and that's only because of I'm On A Boat.
Sorry Haiti.

BeBe Winans - I would say yes if I knew who this was
YouTube - BeBe Winans - In Harm's Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUyLt0TCUw0)
Melanie Fiona - ???
YouTube - Melanie Fiona - It Kills Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8yZedKTXJ0)
Agree about no rappers being it. It would ruin it with corniness or lame auto-tune singing. Thankfully P. Diddy wasn't considered.
