We Are The World 2010

25 years ago, January 28, 1985, to be exact, singing sensations from all USA gathered in one music studio to sing one song. This one song had such a deep meaning that people from all around the world was moved and touched. This song is, We Are The World.


We Are The World was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie. This song was co-composed by Quincy Jones. The song was released on March 7, 1985, as the only single from the album. A worldwide commercial success, it topped music charts throughout the world and became the fastest-selling American pop single in history. This song was to raise money for the people in Africa, where they live in poverty.

Conductor: Quincy Jones
Soloists (in order of appearance): Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper ,Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles

To me, this one of my favourite songs because it is sung by so many great singing legends. Also, this song has a very powerful meaning. I am glad that even celebrities of the past were recognizing this crisis of poverty. If you haven't already, give this song a listen!

It's good eh?


On Tuesday, 12 January 2010, a treacherous earthquake struck Haiti. Serious damage was made and LOTS of lives lost.
25 years after the 1985 legendary song, a remake of We Are The World was made. This time, instead of raising awareness and raising money for humanitarian aid, over 90 singing stars of today, from all over America, come together as one. Singing the remix version of We Are The World, hoping to raise money for Haiti.
Some of the stars include: Janet Jackson, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Quincy Jones, Celine Dion, Pink, Fergie, Wil.i.am, Lionel Richie, Nicole Richie, Akon, Jordin Sparks, Kayne West, Jennifer Hudson, Brandy, the Jonas Brothers, and Keri Hilson.

Here it is!! (btw, if this video doesn't show up like the one from above, click here...again, this will direct you to the video on youtube.)

A nice remix!

This is a nice remix of the song. Even though the stars that sung in this song are very popular now a days, I still prefer the original version better. The original version has a more affecting tune. It is soft and slow, unlike the new one. However, the remixed version seemed very unique because it involved some rapping parts and some Haitian language. They also included clips of the children in Haiti, singing and dancing to the song. Also, they merged in a little part of Michael Jackson and his sister, Janet Jackson singing. It is a shame that Michael Jackson couldn't live up to see this.

All the artists here used their singing talent to show their care for Haiti. If celebrities and stars like them have a heart, you should to. The smallest thing you can do is to help Haiti. Please donate. I am sure each and every person in Haiti would appreciate it. I would too.
Thank you.

Here are the lyrics to We Are The World:

There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all


We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need


[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me


Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand


[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one


[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me


I hope you like the song as much as me (:
