Everyone seems to hate wyclef's part but it's what made me tear up. Those are his people and he seems to have put his heart into his verses. Even if he's not the best singer, lol

[@jeancarroccino8574]

Number 1 is the only one. Never be that iconic.

[@dillodefense]

You just can't beat the original.

[@prof_xhew2929]

In the original - they used the natural voices (the singers' signature sounds) to make the 85 ver. much better (which was their idea n statement); But for me what count is the singers in this new version did something for the poor people in Haiti (kudos to these ppl); N I agree with Britt it could had an original n 2nd extended track (But that's my 2cents not ideal but for me better) But 85 ori was still the best!

[@Koz182]

Honestly, I kind of wish that we had a new "We Are The World" every year! The Grammys After-Party should just be everybody getting drunk, somebody dropping a beat, and all the pop stars in the world breaking into an annual karaoke dumpster fire! Each year trying to top the one before on how insane they can make it! I'm sure we could find a charity to give the streaming royalties to.

[@LuisRodriguez-tr9cg]

naaaaa there are almost NO singers, only artists

I don't hate it... but as soon as the auto-tune starts it's where it's going downhill. I agree with you.

[@mcupidphillips]

As an Islander, I love love love Wyclef Jean's part. It was cultural and meaningful. It might sound off to someone used to listening to 'clean' music but as a child of Calypso, reggae, & soca, THIS is how we do it, passionately. Sn the black man before Cece Winans is BeBe Winans. They have a beautiful duo together called 'Love Said Not So'

[@Roleha1975]

The original was artists coming together for purpose and to make awareness to a problem. The new one always felt like singers stroking there egos and saying hay look i can sing this, never made you feel like the original

[@DeadBird-wp9of]

I recently watched a documentary of the making of the original and it was very interesting. Took them around 10 hours. Lionel put a sign on the entrance that said Leave Your Ego at the Door. That was probably a good thing.

[@jasongoins8608]

Love your commentary! You are exactly right.

[@walterpanovs]

Yes, this didn't age as well as the original. It wasn't "Record of the Year" or multi-million-selling material. But I guess it still works as a time capsule from the era, for better or worse.

btw the 2000-01' Group would have made a better group than the Original Cast: Britney Spears, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Gwen, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Enrique Iglesias, Ricky Martin, Nick Lachey, Scott Stapp, Bon Jovi J LO Madonna

[@KemperFi13]

No. Original group are straight LEGENDS. Springsteen, Lionel Richie, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, Paul Simon (Simon & Garfunkel), Huey Lewis, Willie Nelson, Steve Perry (Journey), Stevie Wonder, etc. Your list has 7-8 future icons. Original group had 13+. So much so that Madonna didn’t even make the cut in the original group.

[@bamboo1165]

I believe part one was accepted cuz they all sang from the Heart! they walked into the studio with a heavy heart .........after hearing that children were laying dead on the streets of ethiopia africa! and a lady from the ethiopian embassy came to thank them for their efforts.............but she cried. so they felt it. And they sang the song with passion and conviction! I see the second part was made decades later to assist the people in Haiti! haiti had a terrible tsunami I believe! But they sang the song with lack of passion and bluster! and so u can see the difference clearly!

[@hollypinkley]

NAILED IT!!! Quincy Jones or Lionel Richie one said at the beginning of the 1st - ""Check Your Egos at The Door" that was about a cause not an ego!!!!

[@starzee55]

You are so adorable and wholesome, I love your videos ❤

[@yungfellaquan1]

I honestly love this song soo much one of my favorite frfr

[@ThelmaBaker-v2b]

1. They should have written a new song. With all of those talented people they should have been able to come up with another good song. 2. This song is not about ego. It is about raising money for people in dire need. The egos needed to stay at home. 3. The man who was singing in the Haitian language might have tried to stay on key a little better. I am not familiar with his work. Is it perhaps a stylistic choice that people in Haiti sing like that? I know there is a similar vocal style in Asia. It is very loud and piercing, but it is something they do on purpose. 4. Don't mind the haters. If this many people want to get together to help Haiti, I'm glad they did.

[@iamQuiandra]

Wyclef’s part is the best, what 😭 I felt his soul within it and as a Caribbean person born and raised (I was 10 at the time), it made me BAWL 🥹

[@tawnyrobinson3930]

There was something so special about the original one that this one just doesn’t capture. That being said, there were some actual good singers in the Haiti version of this song, it just didn’t have the magic. I didn’t love it as much. They should’ve maybe done a new song for this cause. I do love the MJ & Janet side by side duet part. That’s my favorite part of part 2.

[@most_sane_comment]

I personally loved this rendition of “We are the world “. I remember listening to this on loop back then.People rant about “how bad it is” only cause this rendition used autotune and wyclef’s part was full of passion but people rather clown him than appreciate it. People be trashing anything cause they got nothing good to do.

[@scottsilverman9948]

I love how u tried to stay nice and say trey is"making bad decisions" and not call out what he did🤪

[@ozmusic7970]

Your Reaction was so Funny and Entertaining. I felt the same way 😂 thank you May you can make some more Michael Jackson reactions? Would love it 🙏🏼

[@7777loquillo7777]

Let me start by saying that I love your reactions and above all your Spirit❤ but regarding the song and everything included it amaze me thar with all these electronics and advanced knowledge this production doesn't come nowhere close to the Original cause if you pay attention to the original Song with the Artist's Producer Sound and everything included you can tell that they put their Personal EGO to the side to make it sound like ONE VOICE and ONE HEART with and Amazing sound as a Choir❤️ these grate singers here just fuckked the song

[@touriewright5428]

You have to remember in the original there were all ( no matter the genre) all singers, in this group at this time Rap was being well recognized so of course they had rappers in it and most rappers can't hang with really good singers and the auto-tune was big at this time also so someone somewhere probably said something about lets bring what "the young people" like/are into and there you have it. Not horrible just can't hold a candle to the original plus if I remember correctly the original was after the Grammys so extremely spontaneous and you can't really get that a second time around unless you do the same think and an awards show and hustle people in to perform and this doesn't really feel like that happened ( I could be wrong but...) anyway great reaction as usual Britt

[@scottNNJ]

Now it’s time to come full-circle with The Making of (the original) We Are the World. I think you’ll really enjoy it. As for this one, the performer I appreciate most is Pink. She started her career with a bad-girl-of-rock image, but she has become so empathetic, inspiring, wholesome, and most importantly genuine. As much as I didn’t enjoy this song, I appreciate that the had the opportunity - and chose to- participate.

[@ag3ntar7]

the auto-tune was hilarious.

[@mrbx79]

Damn. They fu..ed up a beautiful song. 😬

[@sugaraeharris]

Queen Brit, We All Need U To React { To The Making Of We Are The World }!!!!!!!!!! please...

[@conan5885]

Nothing can't even come close to the original both in talent and spirit, let alone touch it. The only good thing here is Tony Bennett, Janet Jackson, and Barbara Streisand. And it was even relatively "ok" till they threw in the Autotuned garbage, and had to remind everyone it's not 1985 anymore, sadly...

[@DBirdshead]

The original was not competitive, they hung a sign at the door that read. Check your ego at the door, only one singer chose not to participate. Everyone just sang for a genuine cause. Not like this mess.

[@cassandradenise3037]

13:07 " who's that with the braids" ? Thats one of Michael Jackson 's nephews** Taj Jackson ** if im not mistaken. Hes in a group with 2 of his other brothers/ group name 3T >> Tito Jackson's children. I like this version as well as the original but i just didnt care for the rapping .

[@renelpatat]

There’s a huge difference between the original version from 1985, which was to raise money in general for Africa. In 2010, Haiti was hit by a 7.5 on the Richter scale, earthquake. When the original version was recorded, it was primarily for all of Africa and raised over $80 million dollars, equivalent to, in 1985, $222 million. That recording and simulcast raised immediate funds. The remake was for Haiti only for the same purpose to raise immediate funds for those in Haiti. It was also recorded and simulcast. It raised $13.5 billion. Why would anyone be offended with artists of today’s world, and the various known now artists, for raising money to help those in need in Haiti? That’s ludicrous! Think your video was blocked for a reason?

[@angelaguerra-z8l]

I don't know, I am 60 yrs old and I love the origianl version of course but I also love that they remade the song for such a good cause. I think it would be also be nice for a new version to come out with the modern singers ( maybe mixed with the older ones) and raise money for the many needed causes.

[@kellyanderson7624]

Jennnifer Nettles is the singer from Sugarland, and Josh Groban is who you though was the Italian singers son

[@DinnaFarel]

Honestly I don't think it's much different than the first one. I'm of the older generation and those were great singers. These are as well. They did it justice🎉. I do sort of agree with the rap part though. It was kind of out there 😂 Edited again: I'm right with you on that gurgling guy. Lol😮

i feel like the way the song sounds isn’t as important as to why the song was made. Michael and Quincy made the song to help another country. Haiti was struggling after the earthquake.

[@ShortyRock801]

Bad definitely outweighs the good with this one

[@HighlanderReactionsZA]

I initially hated the rap portion and Wyclef in the song, but in time I have come to appreciate it. The Rappers wanted to contribute too, so Quincy made provision for them to do so. The Autotuners still grind me though.

[@feferosette]

Definitely yes! Part one from the 80's was the best!

Couldn’t agree more. The original is one of the greatest songs ever, this version is absolutely pathetic in comparison. The vibe of the song and the heart and soul has been completely removed from the original song and replaced with individuals who sound awful alongside each other , where the original, they blended perfectly. Somethings are better left alone, this is the perfect example.

I am a recording engineer (and a note-to-color music theorist. with channel,) and I have _nothing_ against auto-tune. I believe it is a technological musical tool as much as digital reverb, or anything else. But, _auto-tuning_ Justin Bieber from the starting gate literally DRAINS the soul from We Are the World even more than The Smashing Pumpkins singing "The World is a Vampire." Just saying. Your, _Acoustic Rabbit Hole_

Okay so this version wasn’t as good as the first one but it was for the same purpose. To help a country in need. Wyclef is Haitian so this hit him hard. My cousin and her dad are Haitian.

[@donnaritch4934]

I have to say this, tbh, I don't like it. For starters, they , as a whole, do not harmonize well with each other, imho. AS for how they did the individual people, it was not well with coordination, meaning the order they did them in the editing. Too mismatched, imho. There was no cohesive flow to me at all. It all seemed a bit too choppy and sloppy. And the auto-tune....don't need to say anything on that part...sad. I could go on but I'll stop here. I'm surprised that it came out like this considering Quincy Jones helped produce this.

[@nycowgirl22306]

They should have done an original song. Use the idea of WE ARE THE WORLD but do ur own original song.

I like it more than the one other time I heard it. The major downhill started with the auto tune. I have no problem with Wyclef, because that will mean something to his people. I don't mind there're being the rap section, it's the performance of it that's the problem as you said. The problem I have with the sunglasses is the probable ego, and that it makes it feel less personal. Some of the ones I could identify makes me think it might have been masking some things. So, I would have had them dial back on the appearance of toughness, and shifted the auto tuned into the rap section. If that had been done, it would not have pulled me out of the experience as much.

[@ItsJackMo]

These comments are insufferable lol. They didn't recreate this song to simply top, or be better than, the original. It's for charity and to raise awareness...

[@Lekha84]

I love the original We Are The World… it will always be my favorite. But, I do think that when you use a song like that to raise awareness or money, you should stick to the original. I personally don’t care for the hip hop section, nothing against the artists in it…I love them, I just can’t picture that section with that song. I know that record labels and producers want to make things current but We Are The World is song that is iconic and doing something like just having current musicians singing the song, without adding a new section, would have been great too. They could have done two versions of the song with one version being without the hip hop and the other version being with it. I also don’t understand the trend of having sunglasses on while you’re inside?
