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!

"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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Glny4jSciVI 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.
