We Are The World 25 Years for Haiti....WHY??


Of course I am all for helping Haiti, we have covered many stories relating to Haiti. We have posted websites and phone numbers and tweeted countless of times to bring awareness to the situation in Haiti. But, with all due respect, I really feel that this song should not have been remade. Not in this way. A few observations:

1) Why did Justin Beiber start the song...I respect the young Canadian but there were many other deserving singers
2) Why was auto-tune spotlighted twice when singers like Celine Dion (who is very talented whether you like her genre or not) did not?
3) Why is the rap that is included from LL Cool J sound like it belongs in a battle?
4) Why was Miley Cyrus included on the track....really? Miley Cyrus?
5) Throwing in a horribly incorporated image of Michael Jackson doesn't make up for what they did to this song.
6) Oh, and doing a Ray Charles impression on a tribute track? REALLY Jamie Foxx, REALLY? This isnt a comedy skit

I tried to be respectful with this post. It was difficult but everyone is entitled to their opinion. What's yours?
