We Are the World Remake: What Did You Think?

by at .

The 25-year anniversary remake of "We Are the World" debuted tonight during Winter Olympics coverage on NBC.

The production featured over 80 artists and celebrities, as the video below features the young (Justin Bieber), the high (Snoop Dogg) and the deceased (Michael Jackson sang a posthumous duet with sister Janet, using old footage).

Vince Vaughn even got a solo.

(We heard John Mayer was invited, but turned down the appearance because he heard black and gay people might be there.)

As Jamie Foxx says in the introduction, the purpose of the song is to unite people from across the globe and to encourage donations to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. It's a great cause and we applaud all those involved.

What do you think of this cover?

    Good until this stupid rap part where ll cool J, will.i.am and the rest of them destroys the whole song... i've read that many thinks that lil wayne and t-pain destroyed it but they did a good job, it was the rap part that really killed the song

    I think you need to stop looking at it as a remake and stop focussing so much on the singing and shit and look at it as celebrities making the effort to help Haiti!
