Here is the video for “We Are The World: 25 for Haiti” directed by producer/director/writer Paul Haggis (Crash, Casino Royale, Million Dollar Baby). In order to help victims in Haiti, over 80 artists from different genres and generations united to remake Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie’s 1985 hit.
Some of the artists featured include Mary J. Blige, Janet Jackson, Wyclef Jean, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Toni Braxton, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Pink, Usher, Akon, Nicole Scherzinger, Fergie, T-Pain, Nipsey Hussle, Justin Bieber, Swizz Beatz, Trey Songz, Celine Dion, Lil Wayne, Will.I.Am, Faith Evans, Gladys Knight, Musiq Soulchild and LL Cool J – to name just a few!
Reactions from fans and media have been mixed thus far… was incorporating rap or autotune into the new version the right thing to do? What do you think? Would Michael Jackson be proud of this?
Regardless of what you think, please do either buy the song on iTunes or donate to Haiti today!!
