We Are The Future To help the Tsunami victims, the recording of "We Are The World" will be re-released and all the proceeds will go to that. On the same note, Quincy Jones and Jermaine Dupri has postponed the recording of "We Are The Future" which is a follow-up to "We Are The World". Dupri said the timing was wrong. They plan to record the song on Feb. 14, the day after the Grammy awards. They want to have a session including all the artists who will be involved with The Grammys. Looks like u know who (Prince) will have another chance to participate since he skipped out on the first group recording. Anyway, who was your favorite vocal performance from "We Are The World"? Lionel Richie? Michael and Diana? Willie Nelson? Mine was Steve Perry of Journey. Always loved that part of the song. Who's was yours? SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

back then it was cool because they had a mix of older established artists along with whomever was currently hot...I think this new version is going to be a bunch of corny pop acts that are out right now and nobody throwback....I doubt they will catch the same feel of the first one. I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back. I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there. I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish. And I am | |

we are the world is something that cannever be done, to its magnitude before why couldn't they give money out of their own pockets instead of trying to make us give by buying this corny record | |

i hope prince doesn't participate, and i think it's a safe bet that he won't. though if he contributed another song to a charity comp album, that wouldn't suck. 
the dude has his own ways of being philanthropic, and it seems his methods usually don't tend to include a lot of publicity that spotlights what an amazingly great and charitable guy he is...i find that to be pretty admirable. | |

There were so many great parts. It was and still is an awesome song but my favorite would have to be Cyndi Lauper as well.

We are the world
Written and composed by michael jackson and lionel richie (usa for africa) Lionel richie There comes a time when we heed a certain call Lionel richie & stevie wonder When the world must come together as one Stevie wonder There are people dying Paul simon And it’s time to lend a hand to life Paul simon & kenny rogers The greatest gift of all Kenny rogers We can’t go on pretending day by day James ingram That someone, somewhere will soon make a change Tina turner We are all part of god’s great big family Billy joel And the truth, you know, love is all we need Chorus: Michael jackson We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let’s start giving Diana ross There’s a choice we’re making We’re saving our own lives Michael & diana ross It’s true we’ll make a better day Just you and me Dionne warwick Send them your heart So they’ll know that someone cares Dionne warwick & willie nelson And their lives will be stronger and free Willie nelson As God has shown us by turning stones to bread Al jarreau So we all must lend a helping hand Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let’s start giving Bob dylan There’s a choice we’re making We’re saving our own lives It’s true we’ll make a better day Just you and me Michael jackson When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all Huey lewis But if you just believe there’s no way we can fall Cindy lauper Well, well, well, well let us realize that a change can only come Kim carnes When we stand together as one Chorus: We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let’s start giving There’s a choice we’re making We’re saving our own lives It’s true we’ll make a better day Just you and me We are the world, we are the children We are the ones who make a brighter day So let’s start giving There’s a choice we’re making We’re saving our own lives It’s true we’ll make a better day Just you and me We are the world..... | |

the dude has his own ways of being philanthropic, and it seems his methods usually don't tend to include a lot of publicity that spotlights what an amazingly great and charitable guy he is...i find that to be pretty admirable. I agree up to a point. P has always given back. And it isn't blasted all over "Access Hollywood". True. BUT, man, back in 85, P was hotter than the sun. He should have went down to the studio with everybody else and sung. With success comes duty. Sometimes publicly. P told Quincy that he would do it if he could record a guitar solo on the song. That would have been great, only if P sung. Shit, sing the verse part with his boy MJ. They were the two biggest performers at that time. Even more folks would have bought that single. Gotta think of what it was for. Releif for Africa. Not Releif for Ego. P knew that if he and Mike was singing together, harmonizing, that record would have went through the roof. Could have raised even more money for Africa. Instead of tripping and sending Sheila E. in his place, he should have shown up, sung the part that MJ and Diana ended up singing. Quincy would have been so excited, he would have wanted P to do a guitar solo. That's one more selling point. P was known for guitar then cuz of Purple Rain. People would have ate that up and P would have came up smelling like roses instead of the backlash he ended up getting. Just my thought. But anyway, u still didn't say what your fave vocal part was.

P's bodyguards did get into trouble for roughing up a photographer for trying to get into P's limo at Carlos And Charlie's resturaunt. BUT, this took place long after the "We Are The World" session at A&M Studios had already started and P had already declined to show. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz.

Y? This is the USA exactly copying UK again? Good cause and all but a re-recording again (UK just had "let them know its christmas" again)
zzzzz, "voices that care" is a better charity song. Is Michael on it again? | |

I still preach that "voices that care" is a charity song more appropriare and more ORIGINAL! Miss Lauper was on fire too I have to say.....Al jarreau sounded a bit crap.....Latoya Jackson was there yet no solo? Disgrace..... | |

I always liked Ray's too, God bless him. The thing about this song is that everyone singing, u could tell, were all sincere. I think it was beautiful that everyone came together like that. You could hear they were all on the same wavelenght. The same vibe. After all these years, it still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. Quincy did a great job producing.
