We Are The World 2010








Producer Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie hosted over 80 artists in Los Angeles to re-record the 1985 version of ‘We Are The World’ in support of Haiti.

More Hollywood plus pictures after the cut...

It was first rumored to still include the great Michael Jackson's original vocals recorded 25 years ago, however it has been confirmed that they will not featured, but instead be sung by Janet.
Some of the stars in attendance were Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Kanye West, Celine Dion, Lil Wayne, Barbra Strisand, Wyclef, Pink, Gladys Knight, Justin Bieber Akon, Snoop Dogg, Mya, Brandy, Robin Thicke, Tyrese, Trey Songz, Jamie Foxx, Toni Braxton, Kid Cudi, LL Cool J, Keri Hilson, will.i.am, Nicole Scherzinger, among others. It has also been said that Lady GaGa will be featured on the track in some form as well.
One thing I thought was a pretty cool tidbit to share with you is it was record at the Jim Henson Studios in Hollywood where they recorded the original. The song should surface during the Winter Olympics later this month. Can't wait to hear it.
