We Are The World? Part Two

Well its taken me about three days to muster up enough courage to write this next entry. I know what I want to say about it, I know how everyone else feels about it, I just wonder why nobody else is saying anything about it. All news outlets are calling it "amazing", "inspiring", "thought provoking". I call it a "shame, tragedy, disaster, slap in the face to the original". I wonder who is right....

Please watch while reading comments to get full effect :)

The following is my exact thoughts while watching the "We are the World - 25 Year Anniversary Tribute":

• Opening by Jamie Foxx – really didn’t we revoke his music pass just a few weeks ago at the Grammys for this?
• Who is this Beiber child who gets the first verse of this “legendary song” He can not be more than 12.
• Very moving images of Haiti throughout the video (nicely done)
• Hey J. Hudson. Thank god for you and your pipes!
• Ugh. I hate that lady from Sugarland. Why was she invited?
• My boyfriend Josh Groban looks and sounds amazing as always
• Whoa. Hey there Tony Bennet. Its been a while.
• Mary J is awesome
• Nice MJ with his signature glove singing with Janet. That was a nice touch.
• Oh Barbara Streisand, you are well…you.
• OH NO MILEY CYRUS. Why why why!!! And why would they have you follow Babs?
• Is that you Enrique Iglesias? Where have you been?
• Now I’m starting to not recognize anybody.
• Is that a Jonas brother? No? Yes?
• JAMIE FOX. STOP NOW. You are not Ray Charles
• Wyclef is screaming again…
• I hate Maroon Five anyone else?
• Pink- Finally someone who can carry a tune
• More people I don’t’ know…
• Yeah Michael Jackson glad they gave you back another verse.
• Usher doing his best Michael Jackson impression...not too bad
• Who will sing the famous Cyndi Lauper Part? Okay I can live with Celine Dion. At least she can sing. Sounds really good too.
• BREAK – okay up to this point while cheesey still could be released and be okay.
• Fergie looks like she has been hit in the face, well that’s no different then her ordinary look (awww snap)
• Chorus, with the masses. Tons of celebrities in here. Wait! Is that Vince Vaughn? Randy Jackson? The “Dude”? Oh man…
• Lead singer of the Pussy Cat Dolls? Really? That’s classy.
• An appearance by Toni Braxton, shes old school talent. Approved.
• Okay the Chorus sounds pretty good, I can’t complain.
• OH MY GOD. Is that Lil Wayne using one of those voice tracks that make him sound like a robot? This can’t be.
• Was that Santana, where did he go? Come back!
• Akon really? Okay this is starting to take a turn south. Voice tracks are not cool.
• T-PAIN Did you hear what I said, if you can’t sing, a robot voice does not sound good! Who is in charge here?
• Jamie Foxx just did the “Ray Charles Sway”….YOUR FIRED JAMIE.
• Hold on: is this LL Cool J and a full rap section? I know this was not part of the original. Snoop Dogg? Really? Didn’t he kill someone? This just sounds terrible. TERRIBLE.
• Can someone please tell Wyclef Jean to please stop screaming into his microphone.
• Thank god for Jennifer Hudson for trying her best to save this recording…she is trying people! She can’t do it alone!
• Damn that was a Jonas brother….
• Kanye, the world still hates you. Sorry. That and all your lyrics sound the exact same. You earn no bonus points.
• Wyclef, you need to stop. Now.
• Back to the chorus….
• Leaving with parting shots of Haiti. That’s at least nice. Sigh.

I really have no other comments about this video except for one final question. Where were the following? McCartney, Dylan, Jagger, Bowie, Springsteen, Prince, Aretha, Stevie, Whitney aka the Real Legends.

Now who do you think is right in their review?
