In two weeks my vacation begins. Kids go back to school on Sept 7th. Hopefully I will then slowly recuperate from this idiocy disease which has stolen my mind and ability to function (of course I’m gonna blame the kids otherwise I’d have to actually admit that it was me and isn’t that the whole [...]
I didn’t think a remake would come near the first version of We Are The World – I was wrong. This gave me cold chills. I love when everyone comes together to help a cause. It makes me realize that people ARE good – they just get caught up in the trivial, unimportant, minutia that takes away their ability to see clearly. Do what you can to help the guys in Haiti. Fans will be able to download to donate, as the music and video will be available immediately after the premiere. By downloading the song on iTunes your money for it will be donated to the We Are the World Foundation.

I just saw this today. I still like the old version better but that’s because I know who is in that one. I can’t identify most of the musicians in the new version. However, I do like it and I love what it represents. I don’t know why we didn’t do anything like this for Katrina. I’m going to download this tonight and the first one too. I love how they put Michael Jackson in the new one.

True confession–seeing this made tears come to my eyes…it really was emotional and then, (yikes) I spent the rest of the day belting out that song! My cats thought I was nuts…well, maybe just a bit?

Loved it too! There are a few artists I can’t identify – but absolutely love the blend of old (tony bennett, barbra streisand) and new (rappers) in a universal message of love for all. Still feeling the beat on the new choruses!

Ugh. I thought it was AWFUL. It’s like the thug, chest-pounding, screamy version that I can do without. Do we have to thug-a-fy everything these days?????

they should have let all the people from the first one who were still alive be in this one, too. I bet Huey Lewis was just staring at the phone.

I love the new one as well as the old one. It’s heartwarming to see so many people just stop what they’re doing and move this to the top of the priority list. We bought this the moment it came out.

Many shouldn’t have been part of the project, but there were clearly 2 divas that overshadowed the whole room. I’ll let you guess; they both have big noses that proved useful.
