Today I heard on the radio that producer Jermaine Dupri will get current artists to remake "We Are The World".  :P

Thankfully it's not the better classic "Do They Know It's Christmas" classic.  8)


I hope Britney Spears, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Slipknot, Ja Rule, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Fifty Cent, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, Avril Lavinge, Lil' Romeo, Alicia Keys, Sean Paul, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, and many others DON'T appear on the remake.  :P  ::)

And why remake "We Are The World"? Why not a new song?

The CD comes packaged in a complementary barf bag!
:P

I hear it's gonna be a Michael Jackson solo with revised lyrics:
Molest The World, Molest The Children ::)....but as he said recently on Southpark...."That's Ignorant"

Today I heard on the radio that producer Jermaine Dupri will get current artists to remake "We Are The World".  :P




Please tell me your kidding right?  :-X >:(

I better cover both my ears when it comes on the radio. :P

They should never re-make that song.It was a classic and they'll ruin it. >:(



Howard

And I bet top 40 radio will play it a gazillion times a day,as will MTV......already buying Pepto...to counteract bad music induced NAUSEA...

An absolute blueprint for disaster(especially with dupree on the job :P)! That song was a a land mark in history. they can't just remake it with some phony pop hooks in it. I geuss pop music really is dead :(.

Well, that's what the world needs now . . .  :-\\

I just hope there isn't any turntable record scratching that I'll be hearing in the song. :P



Howard

  Aaaaah...LMAO!

Same Here!

The song "We Are the World" is a disgustingly brainless, saccharine and self-congratulatory attempt at depth.  I hate this song.  Let it die in its own decade.

The song was based on USA For Africa and helping the hungry children in Ethiopia.What are the rap stars helping? ???



Howard

is crap sweet crap!  :P


Isn't it funny that music seems to be the only thing businesses have no trouble recycling?  ;D

You know what it seems to me, Kenny? It seems like they saw the Live-Aid concert the year before, wished they took part in it and then decided to do their bit at short notice.  ;D

music is just an ongoing process.

;D Good one, Bobby! I also think "Do They Know It's Christmas" was much better :)

Do you understand that the song was written and recorded in response to the way the world was,and especially the famine in Africa was,and was meant to get people motivated to work on changing the situation? And that the proceeds from the record sales went to help those less fortunate...sorry,just had to say how I feel.

We'll just have to wait and hear how it sounds before we jump to conclusions. ;)

Unfortunately, the music video will be nothing like the original, which was filmed during the recording (I think).
:P

Knowing the fact that all teen pop & hip hop videos look the same...I don't want to know...  :P  ::)



BTW, does anybody know who'll be on the remake? Just curious.

Though I know it'll be mostly over s xed pop singers, rappers, and other nobodies like Justin Timberlame. And maybe be a pop punk loser like Avril Lavinge  thrown in.
:P

This isn't news to me.  I know all this.  Fed a lot of people.  That's great.  The song is still horrible.

;D Good one, Bobby! I also think "Do They Know It's Christmas" was much better :)


Heh heh. The cast just went the wrong way about it and used sentimentality rather than showing the problem as a stark reality.

I agree with Kenny. A crap song is still a crap song regardless of where the profits go to.

Howard, as for music being an ongoing process - an original song seems to be a rarity these days and this song is proof. It was bad enough the first time around.

They're gonna have to have some people to sing the high notes and the low notes.That will be difficult to find. :o


Howard

This is just wrong, wrong, wrong. As some of you had pointed out, the orginal went to feed people in Africa. Are they going to use the proceeds for some cause like that or to line their own wallets? If it going for a cause, ok, I can handle that but otherwise, like I said, it is just WRONG!!!!

My daughter really enjoys all the songs by Hillary Duff. The songs are light and easy to remember.  The latest my Lips are sealed with her sister really rocks.   Her favorite song is the very romanic Let the Rain Fall Down.  If you dont like Hillary, sorry but you are very wrooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And why remake "We Are The World"? Why not a new song?



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!   >:(    Why ruin a prefectly good song?

Can't be any worse than the original.....or can it :o

Thankfully it's not the better classic "Do They Know It's Christmas" classic.  8)

Sadly, it's been remade too. (There's a thread about it on the '80's forum)  :P

Best If I don't say anything or it'll start another idea...


How about a remake of "Hot Hot Hot" from Buster Poindexter instead...  ::)

I'm sorry. but 'Our Lips Are Sealed' was sung totally out of tune with the Go-Gos version!!! It was horrible!
Let The Rain Fall Down is a really boring song and Hillary's voice sounds so FORCED when she sings. Her singing voice is very flat.
She should just stick to acting.

American stars jumping on the bandwagon again I guess

From what I hear it is going to be a rap/hip-hop version.  Here is a sample of the new lyrics:


Pimp out world, pimp out the chillen
We be the ones who be sportin dubs
Ho you best start givin'
There'll be booty shaking
Homies whipping out their knives
We'll be out shooting .40's
Shake your booty



;D

Hmm! Who sang 'Hot Hot Hot' first? Was it Buster Poindexter or Arrow?  ;D
