I saw it for what it was. I think people are just too quick to judge it because it wasn’t like the original. I mean it is a charity song and really what was yall expecting from it. I didn’t even see this as nothing to compare to the original cause it was far from it. It was it’s own version and not an imitation which is a good thing.

I carried on watching saw Nicole Scherzinger and thought the hell!!! Then T-pain’s tired ass autotune killed it cold, all great rappers they had there however completely unnecessary they shouldn’t be on the song. Imma buy it though but best believe I will delete it straight after! Janet and Mike were the highlight so i’m glad of that at least

I was just so confused watching this. Janet didn’t even come to the making of the video? The rap break down was just one big Question Mark “?”. Can T-Pain sing without the auto-tune or that’s just it for him in musical abilities? Where was Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys? Why was Wyclef babbling/yodelling at then end. Man this was a hot mess. All I can say this was for a good cause so hopefully they will get a lot of downloads of this song and the benefits can go to Haiti.

That was a damn mess. First off they hyped Janet’s involvement in this and she was on in it for five seconds. Also that was a horrible cut and paste job with her and Michael. The song was just all over the place, Mary, Celine, Pink, Jennifer Hudson, and Usher sounded good from what I can remember. Why did they give Nicole Shitzinger a solo part, who’s dick did she suck to get that. Don’t get me wrong the full version sounded a little better until I heard Lil wayne on the track, sounding like Flavor Flav with that autotune. This was something that shouldn’t have been done.

I do appreciate all the celebs getting together for a meaningful cause, but this version is an insult to the original version and really highlights the lack of talent among some of the forerunners in the music industry today!

THE GOOD:
1.The transition between singers is excellent
2. The video quality is great
3. The big choir sounds great…even with a 100+ singers
4. The message is EVERYTHING!!!
THE BAD…REAL BAD!!!
1. Unnecessary singers that should NOT have been invited…Justin Biebler, Miley Cyrus, LIL WAYNE, T-Pain
2. Singers that SHOULD HAVE been invited … MARIAH CAREY (DUH!), Beyonce, Jay-Z, Rihanna (since she’s from the islands towards Haiti), Whitney Houston, R. Kelly, Brian McKnight, Boys II Men, Christina Augliera, JoJo, Justin Timberlake, (people along those lines aka, REAL SINGERS)
3. WYCLEF unfortunately RUINED the song … absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!
4. I could HARDLY HEAR Janet Jackson, and she had a BIG part (sadly, it went unnoticed)
5. Why did great singers (Mary J, Pink, Celine, Toni Braxton, Usher, Josh Groban) get the LEAST AMOUNT OF PARTS … and stupid singers like Lil’ Wayne had a chance to sing much more than Toni Braxton????? DUMB CHOICES BEING MADE HERE!!!
6. The rap was completely UNNECESSARY!!!
7. Why was Jamie Fox singing like Ray Charles and bursting out laughing at the end … IS THIS A JOKE PEOPLE?!?!?
8. Some people got more parts than they SHOULD HAVE HAD … and some singers got less parts, when the should have had LOTS OF PARTS
9. This left me confused as to who was choosing which “singers” get what parts
10. However, the message is still the most important…NOT the crazy producer who chose some of these fake singers!!!

There was nothing wrong with the song, it just was not the original, it couldn’t be. And as for
WHITNEY, BEYONCE, JAY-Z, ALICIA KEYS, MARIAH CAREY, RIHANNA,and a few
other major stars mention that were not on this song, I am pretty sure that Lionel Ricthie
and Quincy Jones approached these people but they chose not to be apart of the project.
And for the slow ones Wyclef Jean is speaking to his Haitian brothers and sisters.

I’m glad some celebrities were left out and other singers got to shine. Because back in the day no one was fussing because maybe Prince or whoever didn’t jump on We Are The World, because it wasn’t just one singer on top it was about multiple singers and different styles. You had country, rock, rap, hip-hop, pop, R&B all fused. Onced again great job, perfect timing. I even liked that they left the Michael Jackosn parts alone. So just forget about relevancy and who’s not there, think of the cause, HAITI.

I like that they came together to do the song and make it more known to this new generation. Lots of young people may watch it because their favorite artists are there. There may not be the big artists but there;s someone there for everyone. Many young people LIKE Lil Wayne and Kanye and the rappers, and that will draw them into this song. Musically it has messy parts, but the meaning of the project and the cause are more important .

Personally I just enjoyed watching the artists get together and do this. The rappers didn’t really work – except I did liked what Kanye pulled off (and that he was even IN this). It was nice to see Wayne and T-Pain just be there – I liked Wayne’s part, Pain was a little jarring.
Beyond our vicious reviews tho, can’t peole just get into the idea? and the effort? There was no Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles there – but do these kind of singers even EXIST today?? (well, maybe R.Kelly).
Yea, young people don’t even know this song – now they will.

They had strange leads on this project but i guess people deserve a chance to be recognized.
WYCLEF NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! That was tooo much and they made the song all about him.
J-Hud, Celine, Josh Groban, Mary J, Barbra S, Pink. Micheal & Janet Jackson & even Kanye did it 4me.
Usher & Fergie were cool.
I like how gospel artists like BeBe Winans & Mary Mary got some shine.
I guess the rap & having Miley C made it current but think the rappers should do their own track collectively, so they all have a say.
T-Pain??? I like him but huh?
Nicole S???
and the rest….
India Arie, Anthony Hamilton, Faith Evans & Gladys Knight are some hard-core sangers and u got T-Pain, Lil’ Wayne doing singing parts OMG!!!..
Well it’s the cause that matters and the blending of some artist and choir worked well.
Lot’s of questions in my mind here though and some of the MAJOR big names of the here and now are all absent but I know for some it just wasn’t possible schedule wise.

It was garbage, but Mike wouldn’t have cared. He would have understood it’s bigger than who sings what.
That said, the selection was dubious. But it was dubious 25 years ago. There are political commercial calculations that were made in both instances. Not sure what Nicole whatshername gets anyone, but maybe they know better than us. lol.
Either way, if they truly wanted to honor Mike and do something great for Haiti, they’d have written something original. Like “Self-Destruction” and “Freedom” and “U Will Know”
This is just indicative of an historical moment where people are more concerned with referencing the past than definiting the present and charting the future. In this way, the true embarrasment is Wyclef Jean who has the talent to put together something truly defining.
Sad.

I would’ve invited him on the song, but I would’ve restricted the use of auto-tune. At least Wayne auto-tune wasn’t all that noticable. Other than that, I loved the song. ALSO, LEAVE JUSTIN B. ALONE!

Yes, well said.
One more perspective – this is a video project (in part), and I loved the footage of the kids in Haiti. It was awesome – the kids were so beautiful, and made you feel the song. The girls dancing on the rubble, and the boy riding his bike around the tent housing.
On a lower level, I can’t resist giving my two cents on the performers. Beiber to start? No. If they needed a young tenor voice they should have found Chris Brown. I bet he would have loved the exposure on this, and he has gotten involved. And it would have been a BEAUTIFUL voice to start with. Did they ask him? I bet they thought it was SAFER to go with that little boy Bieber.

Pink, Usher, Celine, Jennifer Hudson, Josh, Wyclef (minus the yodeling very horrible) singing in creole with Haitian kids, Justin Bieber (minus singing the first part which rightfully should have belong to a more powerful singer like J-Hud) they did a classy job. I thought the rapping as group was good, but the auto tune, giving T-Pain his own solo was a HOT MESS.

Celine KILLLED IT!!!!!!!!!! I liked the rap Wycleft was barely tolerable with one sole but the extra ones were too much.

@I AM HATIAN (Haitian?)
I’m not saying Chris Brown IS or will be Michael Jackson. They are very different. But they are kindred spirits. MJ was CB’s hero, and MJ lives on inside Chris. Because of Chris’s downfall this past year, he was not included in the public tributes to his idol when MJ died. I think that’s sad. And yes I DO think it would have been beautiful if Chris had opened. He has a lovely voice (no I’m no teeny-bopper, i’m an adult), and it would have finally given him a chance to honor his idol. I would have cried a river.

@October Beauty
Who is embarrassed? Embarrassed about what? And why did you say Yall? It’s only one person, me. Also who you calling a bytch, because we stated an opinion about how the song was done in poor taste due to the clowning around and autotune crap? I am very grateful they are contributing to my country, but those celebrities are not the only ones to contribute to Haiti so I could care less about what you think. I already did my part. And yes my people could care less about where the money is coming from, but the people who do care about Micheal Jacskon legacy as an entertainer and humanitarian do care about how his music is being reconstructed to mediocre crap.

Yep defo agee.. J hud did well and pink, and Adam Levene, but they left brandy out. and Yall Know she would take it church… All these commercial faces to make money for a good cause.. Atleast they got the right mix when they did ‘Whats goin on’ and ofcourse wake up everybody..- I think someone producing this shit.. needs to rethink, although the haiti people need money etc. This single is like someone said.. its not heartfelt enough.

THERE WILL NEVER EVER IN A BILLION YEARS BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON, TO TAKE WHAT MJ HAS ACCOMPLISHED AND TRY TO GIVE THE SAME TO BEYONCE OR ANYONE ELSE, IS THE BIGGEST INSULT, ONE COULD GIVE TO THE KING OF POPULAR MUSIC. HOW DARE YOU? I TAKE OFFENSE TO THAT. UNTIL ARTISTS CAN DUPLICATE WHAT MJ HAD ACCOMPLISHED, YOU YOUNG FANS REALLY NEED TO STOP IT, BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. SORRY TO SOUND RUDE, BUT IT’S IRRITATING THAT SOME WANT TO PUT BEYONCE ON SOME PEDDLESTOOL, NEXT TO THE KING’S THRONE, WHEN HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS WOULD NEVER BE CLOSE TO THE KING. HER MUSIC ISN’T INNOVATIVE, HER DANCE MOVES AREN’T ORIGINAL, AND HER VIDEOS SUCK. MJ WAS IMAGINATIVE , GROUNDBREAKING, AND HIS MUSIC WAS PERFECTION. HE SOLD OVER A BILLION AND COUNTING RECORDS, SOLD OUT CONCERTS , HAD AMBULANCES LINED UP , JUST FOR THE FANS WHO PASSED OUT, ARE PEOPLE PASSING OUT DURING bEYONCE , OR ANY NEW ARTISTS CONCERTS, NO, THEY ARE NOT. WHEN MJ DIED THE WHOLE WORLD STOPPED, MJ WAS KNOWN IN THE MOST REMOTE PLACES OF THE WORLD, DON’T YOU DARE COMPARE MJ TO HER. MJ , A QUARTER OF HIS MONEY WENT TO CHARITIES, HE SPENT THE MAJORITY OF HIS TIME JUST GIVING MONEY AWAY , AND VISITING ORPHANGES, HOSPITALS, ETC. HE GAVE HIS TIME TO DIFFERENT CAUSES. YOUNG PEOPLE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SAY THESE NEW ARTISTS ARE TAKING OVER WHERE MJ STOPPED. WHEN HE DIED, THAT LEGACY ENDED. KNOW YOUR FACTS, IT’S IRRITATING, YOU LIKE AN ARTISTS, BUT DON’T SAY STUFF, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT. GIVE CREDIT TO BEYONCE, YET HIS SISTER WHO SOLD OVER 150 MILLION RECORDS , IS IGNORED?

The great MJ was a perfectionist and he would not have let it go down like this. I am disappointed with Quincy and Lionel for not giving this great song the look it should have gotten. Not a good look at all.

What is the problem with the look? I think the Haiti footage is awesome – shows the beauty of the Haitian people. And I really ike the images of Michael singing, and Janet singing with him. The group sing looked good. What’s the problem?
@12345 and others
All the cussing and name-calling here is disgusting – comments about that “bitch Beyonce”, and those “fucking ghetto bitches” that forgive/support Chris Brown. We are looking at a song about love here, and all this gutter level hate. Sad

love that song, but as many I’m not too happy with the choices on solo parts. I can see why miley and justin biber are on there… but that’s no excuse why really great singers were left off singing just the chorus. I love Toni Braxton, jamie Foxx, Jennifer Hudson and Celine Dions parts… Sorry to say this, because I love black music and HipHop, but I think that rap parts just doesn’t fit in there. (was the same when they redone Do They Know It’s Christmas few years ago)

hey guys….do you know what is the real meaning of the song?..WE ARE NOT LOOKING AFTER ON THE SONG ITSELF BUT THE MEANING BEHIND THE SONG FOR GOD’S SAKE!…we should not look after who’se the singers behind it, what kind of genre they made it, the most important thing in the video is they had contributed kindness just to sing the song and to bring people around the world to unite not impressing their fans or anybody..i don’t care whose the singers,they all did fabulous..!any singers who can sing the song,i would appreciate it so much..as long as the song comes from your heart,..the song is one of a kind!..

wow! this was soooo bad, just a complete mess. i remember when the original came out i loved it and still do. you got a pussy cat trying to sing, a 15 year old boy in the opening nobody heard of. randy jackson sweating on people and trying to make himself relevant and embarrassing rappers who just dont fit. wow how big is jamie foxx ego, is there anything he won’t do. he’s everywhere, doing everything, all the time. DAMN you are an oscar winning actor act like it and become a recluse, do us all that favor.

hey ppl this is not for competition, d’s jest tribute so i think it’s a normal freestyle for all featured Artists , everybody has his/her own styles and ways of singing with different fans i.e what you like others might not like it , It’s a free style listen to the message not the tonetune ……. Not for world best ..
