    Out of all the 80's-era supergroup relief songs, "Sun City" was always my favorite.

    Huh. I always thought it was because of his Blues Brothers stuff. Then again, if it was because of Blues Brothers, why wasn't he in his suit?

    Go ahead, caller. I'm listening...
    You're comparing the entire choir for the new one with just the soloists on the original. Here's a better list for the original:

    Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, Al Jarreau, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper, Kim Carnes, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, Marlon Jackson, Randy Jackson, Tito Jackson, Waylon Jennings, Bette Midler, John Oates, Jeffrey Osborne, Anita Pointer, Ruth Pointer, Smokey Robinson, Dan Aykroyd, Harry Belafonte, Lindsey Buckingham, Mario Cipollina, Johnny Colla, Sheila E., Bob Geldof, Bill Gibson, Chris Hayes, Sean Hopper, Jackie Jackson, La Toya Jackson

    Which artist is going to do the Bob Dylan (what the hell lyrics is he singing) part of the We Are the World redux? heh

    I caught VH1 classic showing the Live Aid concert about a week or two ago and they showed the We are the World video at the end of it.

    *EDIT* OMG I just watched the Voices that Care music video on youtube and forgot (luckily I guess) so much of it. haha @ Mike Tyson! OMG GRETZKY! WAYNE!!!!! lol OMG Wonder Years aged Fred Savage ;)
    I think he's totally checking out Alyssa Milano :p

    "It's true we'll make a better day, just you and me." And Lil Wayne is doing that part this time, apparently.

    I just saw the video on YouTube.

    Nothing compares to the original version, which I've heard (and sung) thousands of times. If anything, I give them a "B" for effort especially for Haiti's benefit.

    I saw the video today. It's terrific. You can download the song on iTunes for $1.29. Proceeds go to Haiti.

    I thought it was okay... Celine Dion is extremely overdramatic.

    I enjoyed it. Boy, Jennifer Hudson has some pipes. I loved Jamie Foxx doing his Ray Charles bit.
