"We are the world: 25 for Haiti"

Once again the biggest stars in the United States gather together to help a disadvantaged country by recording a new version of "We are the world". The original is of course extraordinary, but we don't think this version, designed to raise funds for the Haiti disaster, makes shame on the original video at all. The 2010 version is full of young and hip artist, which we believe makes it reach out to the younger crowd as well . Many of the "good old" artists are still participating, and adds depth to the song. And of course we felt that it was extra nice that they had kept Michael Jackson's verses from the original, and even embedded him in the video. We both get goose bumps when we see him standing there with a golden voice and silver glove.
