I chose to end the year with this song because i only hope this kind of love and positivity comes into 2021

[@conquestmomma]

This was beautiful then and it's really the heart of my generation! We ALL must Be colorblind and just LOVE ONE ANOTHER! I grew up in the 70's & 80's - That was exactly how it was & still should be! THANK YOU for this song and your appreciation shows in your reaction! We each change the world one step at a time! Be our BEST selves and we'll help change the world!

As I recall only Prince and Madonna were unable to make it to this event - all the giants of the 80s were there, and checked their egos at the door ( man i wish we could have seen MJ and Prince together here) but still this event symbolized the optimism of the 1980s. The song itself raised a huge amount of money for the relief efforts which saved many lives in Ethiopia during the famine. One of the survivors is now 50 and made this remark after Micheal Jackson passed: I won't ever forget Michael Jackson because his contribution to the song We are the World had a very significant effect on my life. I am 50 now but 25 years ago I was living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, which at that time was suffering from a long drought and famine. It was a terrible situation. Lots of people became sick and many more died. Around one million people in all were killed by the famine. In 1984 Michael Jackson, along with a number of other leading musicians, made the song We are the World to raise money for Africa. We received a lot of aid from the world and I was one of those who directly benefitted from it. The wheat flour that was distributed to the famine victims was different to the usual cereal we bought at the market. We baked a special bread from it. The local people named the bread after the great artist and it became known as Michael Bread. It was soft and delicious. When you have been through such hard times you never forget events like this. If you speak to anyone who was in Addis Ababa at that time they will all know what Michael Bread is and I know I will remember it for the rest of my life

I believe it's the 30 year anniversary of Jimmy Valvano's epic speech at the ESPYs....everybody should watch....extremely inspiring. But in it he says that we should all spend time in thought everyday, laugh everyday and have our emotions move us to tears everyday.

Bruce Springsteen had one of the biggest records in the country during this. From what I’ve heard, he drove his own truck there while most of the others were dropped off in limos. When he got there, some of the rock guys were going to leave as they thought the song was too pop and might hurt their image. Bruce said I’m here to feed people. Freaking amazing

[@freefallin6871]

If this song fails to make you emotional, your humanity may be in question. Back then, external forces were preaching unity, but today it seems the opposite. We have the control to fight FOR each other, instead of WITH each other. I know I ain't giving up, and this song serves as continued inspiration.

[@MikeWilliams-kh6lv]

“We Are the World" opens with Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, and Billy Joel singing the first verse. Michael Jackson and Diana Ross follow, completing the first chorus together. Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, and Al Jarreau sing the second verse, before Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, and Daryl Hall go through the second chorus. Co-writer Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, and Kim Carnes follow with the song's bridge. This structuring of the song is said to "create a sense of continuous surprise and emotional buildup". "We Are the World" concludes with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles singing a full chorus, Wonder and Springsteen duetting, and ad libs from Charles and Ingram.

[@TheBlindTrucker]

Thank you for using “iconic” correctly regarding this video. These are actual icons all in this video and this song really is iconic because that hook is (or should be) known around the world. Also, the fact that there are people alive that haven’t heard this before is making me feel super old (born in ‘81 😂)

[@dudeamazing7458]

This song came out in 1985, and I’m 17 and I’ve heard the song a few times in my life, it is iconic, but just recently I’ve seen the music video, all in one take, the talent in that room to bring unity to everyone is something that I believe can never be matched, nowadays people really are separated, and a lot of modern singers don’t have nearly the natural vocals like literally anyone who participated in the original recording, wish we had more of this in our world

[@wendymacraild5204]

There were 46 recording artists/singers who came together to make this song. That doesn't include the famous members of different bands who came to help with their instruments: guitars, drums, piano, etc. FORTY SIX singers. Who were already famous, had their own careers and their own number one hits!!! AND - NONE of them got paid. They ALL did this FOR FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They all came together from the goodness of their heart to do this, humble, and simply to do something great to help those in need!!!! EVERYONE came with no attitude, no stipulations, no demands - just their kind hearts and talent. ALL of the money that was made on this single went to help the needy in Africa - minus 10% that went to the homeless in America. This will NEVER happen again. Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote this song the night before it was recorded. Everyone flew into LA the same day and Kenny Rogers lent his own recording studio to do this and it was recorded in ONE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRULY EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@5CBGB]

This song is so powerful. It's okay to cry. I subscribed to your channel after watching your reaction to this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@kellyanderson7624]

Oh My goodness to Steve Perry. that's right. He wasn't called "the voice" for nothing. One of the best singers EVER!

[@h1oweasy]

I feel exactly the same about this song and your thoughts about how things are today. I've heard this song countless times and it still hits in my emotions every time. thanks for doing rhis this song!

[@willbeaver9225]

[@sarge6082]

that was the 80s for ya girl,,,, our country and the world was united all through the 80s,,, greatest decade for music in history because of all of them

[@mstanek7860]

One of the best reaction videos I have ever seen, your face is priceless.

[@mightyea]

Same! She understood the assignment.

[@margaretstutts4362]

Michael wrote it. Quincy Jones the conductor organized it. There has to be a list. You’re right about unity. It’s so sad.

[@wnsafford1854]

It was initiated & primarily organized by the great Harry Belafonte & fundraiser Ken Kragen. They got Lionel Ritchie & Michael Jackson to write it. I just made a big-ol post which includes all the names (both soloist's & "the chorus.").

[@dunhill1]

He was the producer and had already worked with most of these artists individually. He had just finished his masterpiece, Thriller, with Michael Jackson. He was critical in getting most them to come over on Jan 28th, 1985 at 10pm since most of these artist had just attended the America Music Awards Ceremony right down the street.

[@eviekelpie1]

Wikipedia has a total list

[@fidge54]

Michael and Lionel Ritchie wrote it

[@drbannter]

@@fidge54 well Michael wrote 95% of the song but yes I guess they both wrote it

[@_Love_-ru7pz]

Let me say this came out when I was 16 and I just turned 56. It still effects me, like it did you. We have to worry when something like this don't get to us. You was right on everything you said. These singers made no money on this song. Everything (over 60 million) was donated to Africa. Keep doing you young lady.

[@mightyea]

You got me crying!!! Out of all the reactions You’ve been the only one to feel LOVE and UNITY.

[@maggiejernigan7979]

I cried too! I was a kid when this came out, have not seen it in 30 years. ❤️

[@carenhelms8518]

This video still makes me cry every time I watch it! Some of the older artists are Harry Belafonte, Bette Midler, Ray Charles, Tina Turner and four of the Jacksons besides Michael. So many great artists! There is a large list on the Wikipedia page for the song.

[@bluebird5484]

W as

[@Galatasarayli40]

This is that type of reaction i’ve been waiting for and i’ve finally found it. Thanks for everything.

[@stevencrump8136]

One of the best reactions Ive ever seen...You have a great big heart and it shows!

[@Krow-go3ps]

Was tearing up right along with you, was a teenager when this happened & it still gets me, shame the artists of today don't care as much, there is only one race, the human race! ~ we are the world!🤘!

[@tracyjohnson8057]

The first time I watched this I had tears, now some 30+ years later, I still have tears. Music is the great connecting cord for us all and what they accomplished here was epic!

[@elbeto7750]

This is a work of art putting together so much quality in one song. It is a warm icon of voices together.

[@debbers]

Never apologize for your feelings! It was my first time sitting in with you today! Thank you for letting me do that! I'm sure by now someone has told you who everyone is so I won't go into that, I'll just tell you what a great reaction you had. I was 18 when this song came out and there was trouble in the world, but nothing like what's going on today! Thank you for your reaction!

[@darc9338]

One of the greatest choirs of all time.

[@tomrb2297]

The only flaw is that Steve Perry isn’t more prominent. He probably has one of the strongest voices there.

[@michaelbiggs4313]

They could have stretched it to an hour with all the talent they had in that room.

[@eviekelpie1]

I always thought the same. Him and Bruce Springsteen steal the show

[@douglasleinbach6313]

It's not about who was better. "Leave your ego at the door".

[@czyzbledsoe]

Could say the same thing about Mike but Mike wouldn’t have wanted the spotlight in this one.

[@nicebluejay]

smh, it's not about that at all

[@CoachTR]

You got me over here crying for no reason on my Saturday off work. Lol this is awesome!!!!!

[@VineVitumEt5]

I first heard this song 22 years ago when I was in high school, and it is timeless! I love it! ❤️
