Stars Align for ‘We Are the World’ Remake

We Are the World

Twenty-five years after the original recording, history was made once again on Monday night (Feb. 1) as over 75 stars gathered to record a contemporary remake of “We Are the World” at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood.

Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie, the producer and co-writer of the iconic 1985 philanthropic anthem, teamed with Wyclef Jean, producer RedOne, and producer-musical director Rickey Minor for the new version called “We Are the World – 25 for Haiti,” benefitting Haitian earthquake relief efforts.

The recording session took place in the same studio as the original song written by Richie and Michael Jackson, and featured a diverse lineup including Lil Wayne (redoing Bob Dylan’s verse), Kanye West, Jennifer Hudson, Trey Songz, Drake, Barbra Streisand, Toni Braxton, Snoop Dogg, Usher, Pink, Jamie Foxx, T-Pain, Keri Hilson, Brandy, Robin Thicke, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Nicole Scherzinger, Akon, Tony Bennett, Carlos Santana, and many others.

“After I did Bob Dylan’s part, it kinda hit me that I guess this is something way more important than I could’ve ever imagined,” Wayne told reporters, while responding “Hell no!” when asked if his version was better than Dylan’s.

Singer Josh Groban also shared his experience. “To be smack-dab in the middle of a sandwich between Barbra Streisand and Weezy was personally a creative experience I don’t think I’ll ever have the pleasure of having again,” he remarked.

The world premiere of “We Are the World – 25 for Haiti,” along with the accompanying 3-D video, will air during NBC’s coverage of the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Friday, February 12.

    People need to understand that this is bigger than Gaga/Beyonce/Rihanna… this is more genuine. There is more talent and legendary musicians in this group of people to truly express the meaning of the song.

However, I don’t think JUSTIN BIEBER, An overrated little kid and DRAKE, and t pain shouldn’t be listed either.Good to see great 90 artists like toni braxton, snoop dogg, barbara streisand, and mixed with great 2000 artist like brandy,kanye west usher lil wayne etc.however it wouldve been nice to c Mariah carey, or mary j blige or alicia keys monica or keyshia cole or maxwell or SADE….

    Haiti is a worthy cause. In fact, eliminating poverty in general should be always be on our mind. But, fellas, “We Are Are The World” suxs ass. I feel Gaga and Beyonce and Swift can do more on their own. Gaga already has raised a half a million for Haiti.

    The sequel seems to be an exercise in ego stroking and guilt-tripping for will.i.aint and dont.forget.Quincey. They forgot to invite country stars and indie performers. Just a bunch of pop stars and weak rappers. I don’t think Babs realizes this.

    I know Shania doesn’t do these kind of cheesey things because she gives in private and lives in privacy.

    But there are tons of A list music acts missing and lots of c list acts who are there.

    First of all let me just say I am happy with the stars they have!! Why is it whenever celebrities come together to do a charity song it’s always got to be the same singers!! Charity music is not about having A-list celebrities!! I’m pretty sure the Haiti people will appreciate all of these singers doing this for them!!! And for the person who said where are all the artist that MJ influence Lay Gaga, Beyonce, and Jay Z were not the only artist inspired by MJ Mya, Usher, Keri Hilson, Justin Timberlake, etc were also inspired by him. Why don’t yaw go check the 30th anniversary special they had for MJ those artist gave tributes to him!!! Oh and by the way if all yaw can care about is Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and certain artist being apart of this charity than yaw obviously don’t care about the Haiti people!! BTW Michael would appreciate this he was NEVER biased like yaw he had love for all types of artist!!! P.S the whole world does not revolve around yaw favorites GET OVER IT!!! Oh and Ms. Janet will sing Michael’s part couldn’t have asked for a better artist to do Michael’s part I can’t wait for this song and video!!

    @Kim, I completely agree with you. This is definetly for a great cause and MJ would be so proud to see all these people come together for a great cause. But why have all these rappers? I mean c’mon. Dont get me wrong i listen to rap and i love it. But for them to put them on THIS song is just a no-no. They definetly are missing ALOT of artists that actually have vocals. But either way this is definetly for a great cause and i know the whole Haitian community is gonna definetly appreciate this. My whole point was just about them ruining such a great song. But hey, it is 2010 its a new generation, and yes things have changed, SO lets be thankful for them doing this for such a great cause because that’s all that matters! :)

    Yaw got a whole lot of nerve complaining about who is not in this song!!! All yaw going to do is turn this into a competitive thing if Rihanna, Beyonce, and Lady Gaga were apart of this song!!! Yaw don’t want them to be apart of this because it’s for charity yaw just want them to be a part of this so yaw can say they sounded better than all the other artist!!! Charity songs are not about who can upstage who or who has the best vocals!!! It’s about coming together!! Do you think those entire artists who sang the original cared about who were all A-list singers no!! If you ask me this is what a real charity song is supposed to be about not having all A-list celebrities sing, and try to outshine the other!!!

    @Leslie, Yes, absolutely. The whole message of this song to even start with was to come together for a great cause. But c’mon all these rappers? Like really? Lets be realistic. Of course, any form of charity is amazing. But i feel like they shouldve had only artists that have vocals regardless if there vocals outshined someone else’s. You know what i mean? But yes, this is definitely for a great cause. Cant wait to hear it!

I m just saying why wouldn’t you have the biggest celebrities in it. Think about Micharl Jackson, he had the biggest, and diversity among the celebs. When I heard bout this in the works I said to myself who would they get… And these are all the names right off top Mariah, Mary j, beyonce, gags, Brittney, Justin, Christina, Alicia, Ciara, Celine , and thought about Whitney( she was in the first one).. And I just think that’s who u think when u think who’s gonna raise money,,. Just don’t understand y they wouldn’t be in it.!! If tgey were all in it..

    Please stop saying Rihanna needs to be on this track. The girl doesn’t write her own music. Eminem, Lady Gaga, Jay-Z, & Justin Timberlake were missed.

We Need To Kepp Them ALIVE :) Like Really Miley and justin bieber?!! Like Keep the old one and make a new song..

    I like who was chosen to sing in this remake. Goodness knows if Mariah Carey had sang in this, we wouldn’t be able to hear anyone else’s parts. I do wish that Beyonce and Alicia Keys had participated, as well as Eminem and Justin Timberlake. Michael Jackson would have been proud to know that this was being done and he would have been there through the whole thing, not complaining that certain artists weren’t there or things like that. Quit your bitching because so-and-so wasn’t there and appreciate what these artists have done for the people of Haiti.
