We Are The World 25 For Haiti - Official Video

Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.
Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

The range of Celin Dion just gave me the chills... I can't stop listening to this song. Every single time, the same chills of seeing AMAZING artists singing.

[@bayvaraa]

MICHAEL JACKSON IS UNCHANGEABLE BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT VOICE...THUMPS UP IF YOU AGREE WITH ME

[@hulkansen]

Michael Jackson died in 25 June 2009, And this video was made in 2010 so yes he was. R.I.P King of Pop :)

[@GrRdlf93]

Amazing! Celine Dion - WHAT A VOICE! Miley Cyrus has a good voice too, look at Jennifer Hudson.. so talented!

[@ItsJustJayR]

Still think the original is better. I'm taking nothing from these individuals but I just don't feel anyone could top the original.. Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, etc... Classic

[@tiarralj]

Sang this song as the last song of 8th grade, I had 3 parts, 1 of which was a solo for Michael Jacksons famous part. I was nervous out of my mind but so honored. I love this song. R.I.P Michael Jackson.

[@IsabelaBustamante]

Micheal still inspiring the world!

[@AprilNine09]

I get goosebumps when Celine starts singing! She's amazing! :D

[@Tweety211]

At first I heard the original version and then I listened to that ... the beginning: Lionel Richie vs. Justin Bieber ... I laughed so hard XD

[@emmalymaureen]

R.I.P Micheal, we miss you!

[@muakhongdut92]

Celine Dion...A Legend Diva of Pop

[@Naatashax3]

[@CzarnaMamba1996]

[@miorlego]

The best voice for me is Celine Dion. She gave goose bumps when she sang.

[@shakiraaa11]

[@muakhongdut92]

Celine Dion.........class Diva

[@gia32able]

I started crying

[@Calix.b]

I liked the video and the song!! But Michael even though sang in the past was still the best...

[@msalandy1]

this song can obviously never compare to the original....but it is remarkable that they all came together ti do this!!! it is wonderful in it's own way!!!....so comparing singers makes no sense..cause they are all talented in their own way!!! i love this version *not as much as I love the first* especially the way they added the rap part they added a little of modern music to it loved it!!!!!

[@sassy12696]

I liked pink and some of the other singers and I like the message of different styles and cultural backgrounds coming together to sing. Seeing them all sing together made me smile. That must have been such a cool experience.

[@basketballbabee16]

I love listening to all of their different voices come together!

[@ckferris3]

I love you Celine Dion!!! You are the most amazing ever!!!

[@Laughterdisorder]

Its amazing that people from all music genres can come together and make this beautiful music,and the reason, to help people, is even more amazing

[@renecortez2055]

seeing lil wayne sing this is kinda weird, but much paid respect to the message given from this video!!!!

[@JulieZuljeliSedeno]

Celine Dion.

[@SuperEesie]

I wonder what T-Pains real voice sounds like O.O

[@DelenaForever1998]

I'm so happy they didn't take MJ out of the video :) He is a LEGEND. -3

[@JoshScucci]

[@callmeBDG]

[@MrJamessmithmusic]

[@ThEMyTzZz]

[@ceelyn]

[@TheTolgor]

poorest invention = autotune

[@cryinggirl1995]

it's so great when see everybody sing one song together! perfect !^^~

[@paulienbroothaers8760]

i know the whole lyrics by heart! i love this song so much because many famous people singing along to this song!

[@dancebrittany23]

This version of the song came out when I was in 8th grade, and I listened to it nonstop! Eventually, I started to imagine what it would be like if my whole grade got together and sang this for some event kinda like this. I imagined this for months and then when 8th grade graduation came, the whole chorus sang this and in my mind, I was going "MY GOD I'M PSYCHIC!!"

[@JaredFmiller]

listen up all of the people who r disrespecting this song it doesnt matter who is singing or how they r doing it what matters is that they understand that everyone has an obligation to there fellow man to help them when they are in need. if u were in need or ur family or ur town or country needed help after a crisis how grateful would u b if someone spent there time making sure that the word got out and did whatever they could to help. this isnt about music its about humanity.

[@mackenziemangan1505]

To everyone sayin there din this for money this was a non profit event.and they chose to sing this they didn't have to

[@peytonelee]

Gives me goosebumps everytime

[@laranja1702]

Enrique Iglesias ♥

[@PYTisMJ]

- 2:21 OMJ! We L.OV.E. you Michael!!! *-*

[@SelenaGomezMuzic]

I miss Michael Jackson. Personally, I liked his solo version the best, but this and the original USA For Africa are obviously great songs as well.

[@rebeccacwq]

Justin bieber, Nick Jonas, Adam Levine, Celine dion -3 they obviously gave Celine the hardest part as her voice is the best 😏

[@1MJacksonfan1]

You're the best of the best Michael..♥♥

[@raulbitto1]

all artists gave all the best of them. white or black. young or old. all did for good not for bad .. respect for them

[@shakiraaa11]

Celine,Enrique,& Adam have some god giving talent. I could listen to them all day. Everyone did an amazing job! :)

[@emmaxmadison]

All of you who are saying bad things about this video, and Haiti, you should be sooo ashamed. How would you like it if your home was destroyed, and your loved ones were lost? No matter what color, we are all the same. We all deserve the same things. So if you have negative things to say, you should just keep them to yourselves.

[@ChelseyHawks]

p!nk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tkrup14]

But let's continue the tradition. It's about the message. Love everyone.

[@hadassa1964]

genteeeeeee!!! ainda não tinha visto este video, que maravilha!!! Deus tenha mizericordia deste povo tão sofrido. e a todos os cantores; meus parabéns! lindo video....beijos a todos.

[@wendell2712]

I always get goosebumps on Celine Dion's part... wow

[@xstevisionx]

that really was great--each and every singer came out as a star as their own, and together as a chorus, they worked together perfectly.

[@talyquiroga_]

Just wanted to cry... If the whole world will sing this song... It would be a wonderfull place!

[@Stringless0symphony]

THIS GIVES ME GOOSBUMPS

[@jaded459]

Still enjoy watching this video even after the first time 2 years ago. I think its absolutely amazing to see so many respected artists come together to collaborate on such a great song and use it to create more greatness. i was able identify most of the artist without any research or anything so it's no suprise to me that i liked it. GOD BLESS HAITI and those who contributed to the making of this video!!!!!1

[@believetouyourdreams]

What Wyclef does with his voice always gives me goose bumps in such a good way

[@deathbysunrise66]

[@ashleybunnyrock]

THANK U ALL FOR CARING ABOUT MY COUNTRY. GOD BLESS HAITI

[@TheEclipseSinger]

My choir teacher picked this song to be the song the whole 7th 8th and 6th graders sang together. It was the last song we sang with her because she is leaving for a different school. Everyone cried. I love u ms.fog-3 im going to miss you

[@vidgameman73]

I think both videos are great and the song on either versions are both well done. I was fortunate enough to grow up with both of these videos/song versions for these causes. :)

[@bubbagumpbugs]

I can honestly say that I forgot about this video. I remember being obsessed with it. Guess what? I'm back to my obsession with it.

[@mariellathompson8607]

[@lluviia28]

The world together♥

[@rachelplur]

I think its great that my generation remade this! i love the original and know that it was meant to bring help and get people to understand that we can do things as the PEOPLE. My generation just showed it in a way that represents the current culture and how that is relevent to the TIMING of Haiti. It was for an amazing cause; so stop hatin! RIP MJ! love everyone who supported this from the singers to the listeners :)

[@yungt1130]

Gives me chills every time I hear it.

[@xistence_art]

i watched USA for Africa version recorded in 1985 and then this one. things have changed a lot.. disappointingly
