My thoughts:
I was with them until they busted out with the Auto-Tune, Wyclef’s howling and Jamie Foxx’s Ray Charles impression. I wasn’t mad at the rap segment. I got that. It was very 2010.

Lionel Richie said it best “… Wow!?”
Look hip-hop should stay as far away from “we are the world” as possible. It just doesn’t fit in with the rest of the song. There was a reason why Run DMC and Beastie Boys weren’t on the first one. Hip-Hop isn’t sympathetic, its aggressive and selfish. The total opposite of what We Are World is. smh. Damn you autotune have you not killed enough careers, you had to take We Are the World as well…?
I cried for some reason when listening to the new version.I think that it was beautiful to see all of the artists get together for such a wonderful message
