'We Are The World' Remake Brings Lil Wayne, P!nk, More Together For Haiti
Kanye West, Jennifer Hudson, Barbra Streisand and even Vince Vaughn unite for the epic recording session.
LOS ANGELES -- The energy was electric Monday night (February 1) at Henson Studios as more than 80 of music's biggest stars gathered for a charity remake of "We Are the World" in support of Haitian earthquake relief.
"I feel like a kid in a candy store," Wyclef Jean said, speaking to the press about the idea of remaking such an iconic song, which is getting production help from RedOne and Will.I.Am. "What's bigger than a contribution is that you lend your voice," the Haitian native said earlier in the day to his peers while trying to inspire them during the session, which began around 3 p.m. and was expected to last well into the night.
Among the voices in the 81-member choir were Pink, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Nick Jonas, LL Cool J, Robin Thicke, Celine Dion, Akon, Rob Thomas, Wyclef, Jeff Bridges, Vince Vaughn, Barbra Streisand, Jordin Sparks, Good Charlotte's Madden brothers, Tony Bennett, Josh Groban, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson, Keri Hilson, Jamie Foxx, Tyrese, Katharine McPhee, Sean Garrett, Will.I.Am, Carlos Santana, Melanie Fiona, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, Jason Mraz, Miley Cyrus, Busta Rhymes, Nicole Scherzinger, Nicole Richie, Usher, Julianne Hough, Raphael Saadiq, Zac Brown, India.Arie, "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, Musiq Soulchild, Heart's Ann and Nancy Wilson, Fonzworth Bentley, Kid Cudi, Iyaz, Bizzy Bone, Nipsey Hussle, the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, Trey Songz, Faith Evans, Mya and Gladys Knight. (At press time, the full list of participants was not yet available.)
Kanye, wearing a red jacket with sparkling gold crisscross accents, stood center in the front row, between Wyclef and Hudson.
Among the soloists whose sessions were screened for journalists at press time were Bieber, Dion and Groban. Weezy also came out and humbly noted that he recorded the solo originally sung by Bob Dylan.
The inspirational lyrics were laid down over a track that had a more modern Southern hip-hop bounce to it. The recording session took place almost 25 years to the day since the original song for African famine relief was recorded.
"The experience was out of this world," said Bieber, who sang Lionel Richie's original opening line. The video for the song, which is being shot in 3-D, will debut February 12.

I agree 
The only thing I'd change is Bieber singing the opening lines. Why?!? That should go to a legend! |

"Natalie Cole" doesn't have it anymore. I lost her with her AI performance.

I saw on GaGaDaily earlier that she confirmed it was just a rumour that she was on this, and she never actually agreed to it. Instead, she donated all the money from a night's Monster Ball's tickets and merchandise, and all merchandise purchased on the site for one day sometime the other week.

This is just crazy and stupid all the charity songs are just going to be competing against each other. And in a years time everyone will have forgot about Haiti when they'll need help just as much

Celine - OH.MY.GOD.
This is my favourite comment: | Quote: | My GOD! There's a reason they picked Celine Dion for? the most emotional portions.
Celine has elevated herself again. I thought legends couldn't go up anymore but she shot to another stratosphere again MY GOD!
Stunning vocals Celine! |
