Comparing the original to the 2010 rendition is inevitable in a few instances. Those who remember the first version can't help but think of Cyndi Lauper when they hear an emotional Celine Dion breathe new energy into the memorable, "well, well, well/let us realize, a change will only come" or when teen newcomer Justin Bieber takes on Richie's opening lines.
But the covers are not what stick in your mind after watching the eight-minute clip that opens with remarks from Jamie Foxx encouraging viewers to "do more than just watch but to reach deep in your heart and give anything you can."
For me, "We Are the World - 25 for Haiti" calls to mind the hopeful little boy in the sky blue T-shirt captured in the beginning of the video, standing on the roof of a dilapidated house, smiling and waving.
There is just enough footage of the Haitian people singing and rebuilding interspliced with the celebrity studio recordings to keep the video's purpose.
It is not easy to rebrand such a well-known song, but they've done it.
Part of the verse originally sung by Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, and Al Jarreau was revamped with lyrics more relevant to the situation in Haiti. Enrique Iglesias and Barbra Streisand perform the revised lyrics.
omitted lines:
And their lives will be stronger and free As God has shown us by turning stones to bread And so we all must lend a helping hand
revised lines:
So their cries for help will not be in vain We can't let them suffer No we cannot turn away Right now they need a helping hand
ce super greu chiar nu visez nimic, imi mai ocup timpul gandindu-ma la ceva de parca nu as avea destule ma doare fix in cur daca traieste sau nu, daca traieste sa fie sanatos, daca e mort sa se odihneasca in pace ;-j nu ma afecteaa cu nimic.
tot cred ca totul e un fals mai vorbim peste cativa ani xD
