When I first heard about the song for Haiti, I was not so impressed by it. I totally agree that a new song should be wriiten and sung for the people of Haiti. Does the lyric of ‘We are the world’ suit the situation? Just asking. Peace to the people of Haiti. The God Lord is thy strength. :-)

I AGREEEE!

Yes I with Common I should be a new song. We are the world is a classic they should have left it alone & write a new song.

I AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 10000000000000%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

All these artists and they couldn’t come up with a new song? Like really?????????????????????????????????????? Man shows how much creativity is lacking these days from Artists

I agreeeeeee tooooo !!!!!!!

Oh yeah! Hey Common wit’ yo fine aszchhhhhh!

YOU ARE SO RIGHT,THESE SINGER STARS DON’T HAVE NOTHING TO DO,BUT MESS UP OTHER PEOPLE S**T! COMMON, STAND YOUR GROUND!

I agree a new song is needed but,can they come up with one good enough and fast enough for the cause?

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

YEEEEES!!! Thanks Common… I find it very disturbing and im quite sure it will be ruined! Lil wayne??? T- pain??? Are you for real. We are the world took legends to make now it will only take this generation to ruin it… Gees!

Man, I agree 2000% with Common, but at the same time, I don’t think thats a good idea either. I mean, think about it….do we REALLY want The Dream on the writing credits of some new s**t?

hell yeah common especially michael aint part of it.

It’s because Michael isn’t here. He would have written a new song and given it so much heart, just like he did with the last one. I say Smokey Robinson, Stevie Wonder and Lionel Richie need to collaborate on something new. I didnt’ see the new one, but my question is, WHO SANG MICHAEL’S PART?

Common is Sooo FuKin Right!!!

To all the people who’s defends this remake garbage for Hati are the most dumbest mutha f**kas on the web,and
it goes to show no matter the cause,people is gonna defend anything their favorite artists makes or participates in.That’s being said.

For the people that’s to young to remeber WE ARE THE WORLD was made from the people in USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa and specifically to 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia.

In other words the song is an reminder of what happend in Africa,for something future generations to remeber.Like Jay-Z and Common said .The song shouldn’t has been remade because of what the song’s stands for in that time.

They should have made a entirely new song as a future reminider for the People in Hati, For future generations to remeber.But instead the two songs now and forever will became a topic of competition on which is better.The old version or the remake.and they knew that was gonna happen.

Speaking of remakes Ya’ll fail to realize what remake means.
The term “remake” is generally used in reference to a movie or any form of media which uses an earlier movie or media as the main source material, rather than in reference to a second, later movie based on the same source.

In other words Remakes are pretty much do-overs for people who think that the Orginial was a mistake and the remakes are usually the ones to replace the Orginial.But what the old saying goes “If it’s broke don’t fix it”.I let Ya’ll think about how many of your favorite Movie, Songs, and Video Game that was remade but wasn’t necessary because the Orginial was timeless.

Iv’e seen the remake on Youtube, i personally hate it,since when they decided to use Auto Tune in it.
and the Rap verse in the end sound more like a Gansta West Side Story.EWWWW.

Anyway.If Michael Jackson was alive the Remake wouldn’t have been made because Michael knew it was one of his greatest masterpieces and remaking it would taint the message the song was giving for the people in Africa, and MJ would have within his power to stop this song from being remade.If that was the case they could have remade the song for 911,Huricane Katrina or That incident in China(forgot about that huh,??)But they didn’t and as soon as MJ is dead not even a year has passed decided to remade We Are The World.Seemed suspect to me.

I may get some hate by my words on here but my opinion the song is for the right cause but on poor taste By remaking this song for Hati,it’s like giving the middle finger and spitting on the Artists and the Orginal Song that was for the benefit in Africa 25 years ago,and that’s not right because 10 years from now, everybody gonna say it was a big mistake remading that song.

Think about It.
