Is it even remotely possible for the new incarnation of “We Are the World” to live up to the legend that the original initiated? Probably not, but I am even more disappointed by the final result than even expected. Justin Bieber starting off the song was a bad omen, but wow…the spiral was quick and deep. Michael Jackson’s inclusion could have been a nice touch, but instead, it was marred by poor editing. The video of Janet singing along was so poorly edited that for a moment you assume it is a LaToya video. Top it off with a hip-hop inclusion that sounds like a trainwreck, and you wonder why they even bothered. Check out the video and see for yourself…

Did you just diss La Toya?
You do know that she could use her psychic powers against you if she wasn’t the reincarnation of Jesus?!
Hater.
But you’re right… this stinks.
When these charity singles were announced I thought “We Are the World” was a much better choice than “Everybody Hurts,” but now that they are out, I think “Everybody Hurts” was executed much better. “We Are the World” is too long, and there are parts that come off as laughable when it really needs to be earnest and heartfelt. Too bad.
HATER!!!
(just kidding!)
