I'm not sure how I missed this but I'm glad I found it. It's a remake of the classic "We Are The World". Recorded in the same studio as the original, 25 years later and Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones are back directing the stars and mixing the audio.
To be honest, I don't recognize alot of the artists. Put Christian artists in the group and I could tag them all!
There's two things I don't like. First, the length. It's about 3 minutes longer than the original and for me that's 3 minutes too long. Secondly, Michael Jackson's chorus is edited in and it's unnecessary. The starpower of the group is more than enough.
It's a fabulous group of people and some of the original artists are back - Diana Ross, Tony Bennett, Ray Charles. Newcomers like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Randy Jackson and Usher are mixed in with the legends. Celine Dion takes on Cindi Lauper's classic line and it's awesome. I think I even spotted Al Jardine from the Beach Boys in the chorus.
My favourite part is Jamie Foxx singing Ray Charles' lyric line! He absolutely nails it!
Enjoy!
