Remake of "We Are the World" to benefit Haiti

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

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.

Cyndi Lauper or gtfo.

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.

Agree about no rappers being it. It would ruin it with corniness or lame auto-tune singing. Thankfully P. Diddy wasn't considered.

ex? I thought she was still at it.

Or has she decided to mooch off Lewis Hamilton for life?

They're also gonna perform this song at the opening of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
