NBC debuted We Are The World 25 for Haiti before the 2010 Winter Olympic games opening ceremonies.
When I heard it, I was not that thrilled with it. I posted on Facebook that this would need another listen. Maybe it will grow on me.
I later found out that the broadcast was only 3 minutes of the full video. Here's the official one. I like this version a lot better.
Here's the original.
Old or new? I sitll like the original. Yes, the new one grew on me. I like the new except for the guy (Jamaican?) who sounds like an out-of-tune warbling bird or some animal (time slice 3:14, 6:31 and 7:03). Only good part from him was at time slice 7:41-7:55.
Jay-z felt We Are the World should not have been remade.
How do you feel about the remake?
I agree with Jay-Z. Film and record producers who try to remake classics are doomed to fail every single time. And they always have. You'd think they would understand that better than anybody else.
