We Are The World 25



I don't know my thoughts on this.  I'm feeling kind of wishy-washy.  On the one hand, I appreciate the effort and the fact that they emcompassed several genres of modern day music.  I feel that it was well put together, and of course beauitifully composed...BUT...at the same time I have some criticisms.  For one, they could have left the rap scene with LL Cool J out...not neccessary.  Two...autotune?  for real?  Three, I know Wyclef is from Haiti, and he's very emotional about this whole situation, but I felt his parts actually brought down the song.  My ears couldnt take it.  And why wasn't Chris Brown in it?  Overall, Kudos to Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones for putting together this ensemble.  My question is, does watching this make you want to go into your pocketbook and write a check.  I've never been one to get very emotional at the "Save the Children" infomercials, so I would like to know "normal" people's opinions about it.  Does this presentation raul you up so much that you just feel compelled to GIVE!  Didn't really do it for me...but that's just me.
