but I was happy to see Natalie Cole in that group shot.Haven't seen or heard anything about her in awhile.

Looking at the list of artists on the remake makes me extremely happy that Prince didnt take part in the original.

All For the Cause

Jermaine Jackson, T-Pain, Lionel Richie, Jimmy Jean Louis and Patti Austin pose for the cameras during the recording session.

I don't know about u, but that doesn't look like Jermaine in this pic!

....Thats not a good sign,but still I will judge when I hear the full version.

If Mj was alive he would have created a new different song , like when he created "what more can i give" and other two new charity songs that remained unreleased..."I have a dream" and " from the bottom of my heart"

Barbara Streisand's in it?

Was she in the first one?
So now she's in both of them?

deadmansbones said:

No, Barbara was not in the last one. The only peopleI know for sure that were in both are Patti Austin and Lionel.

Here's a preview of the, um, monumental event that aims to rival the first gathering of artists 25 years ago.

daPrettyman said:

Oh....Ok.. It just seems like she would have been in the first one.

I didn't recall seeing her...

Barbara Streisands nose in 3D will knock you off your fucking couch.

daPrettyman said:

That ain't Jermaine!

That ain't one shimmer off that hair, that's how you can tell

I said the same thing! Who the hell is that impostor?

ViintageJunkiie said:

I just wanted 2 make sure I'm not as crazy as I thought. I didn't think it was him,

deadmansbones said:

"No one from the original recording is on this version".


And no, she wasn't on the original version.

NOW WE GOT A JERMAINE IMPERSONATOR! Since when that happened?!

ViintageJunkiie said:

check the nose

the skin ain't shiny

and the hair was the obvious sign

also, there ain't a scarf or tacky Ed Hardy jacket with the collar up in sight

Good to see Jeff Bridges and Vince Vaugn fulfilling the comedy role previously held by Dan Akroid.

But look again, Jamie Fox is on this.

Is it looking any better?



Charge for youtube hits of him moonwalking and he might raise some money. Please don't tell me he has a new record or something coming out. I lovelove him as a personality and comedian and as an actor. I just can't take him as a singer.

Timmy84 said:

Wait..who is that? Really a jermaine Impersonator

Talks about WE Are the World....

Identity said:

I still say they should have made a whole new song for this project. And as a bonus maybe included a rare version of MJ singing "We Are the World" solo. This whole re-make smacks of laziness and could possibly cheesier than the original song.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

I would agree with you, if it weren't for a good cause. What you're describing sounds like an attempt to make a profit, especially with the "rare" MJ solo. Laziness would be them just relasing the original song.

shorttrini said:

Isn't making a profit the whole point? Aren't the proceeds for the purchase of the song supposed to go to Hatian Earthquake Relief effort? If not, what is the purpose of these folks gathering and re-making the song? A bunch of rich celebs standing around singing about "We Are The World" is not really going to make the average person more inclined give to the relief effort. Hell, if at least 50 of the 70 some odd folks on this song ponied up at least $10,000 a piece they'd have half a million dollars. And we all know a number of them on this list of stars can afford to give more than $10,000 of personal funds.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

When I talk about making a profit I am talking about the artist making it and not the charity or cause.

shorttrini said:

Oh, hell no. New song, or a re-make --anything made on this project should be going to the relief effort and anybody participating should sign away any royalties to sale of the song. I was just saying that it would have been better to have a totally new song and if they wanted to throw in a tribute to MJ, do it so that it's just a bonus to the cd or download. People were saying they remade the thing as a tribute to MJ in addition to supporting the relief effort.

From what I heard, they might digitally insert MJ's image within the group

the guest list is really just insane

Is is just me or does that sound mega creepy?
