We Are The World - 25 For Haiti

Several artists and musicians gathered at Jim Henson Studios in Hollywood to record the remake of "We Are the World 2010". In this 2010 remake of We Are the World, there seems to be around 100 music stars taking part in helping sing the remake for the benefit of Haiti.

Among those recording artists who participated in the "We Are The World 2010" remake were: Celine Dion, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Jeff Bridges, Rob Thomas, Jason Mraz, Wyclef Jean, Justin Bieber, Pink, Adam Levine, Jonas Brothers, Sugarland, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West, Vince Vaughn, Kid Cudi, Drake, LL Cool J, Will.I.Am, Mos Def and Julianne Hough.

We Are The World 2010 producers announced in a written news release that the song, officially titled “We Are the World-25 for Haiti,” will debut on NBC the first night of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on February 12. There was was no word from NBC executives yet confirming the decision.

The song "We Are The World" was originally co-written and produced by Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones in 1985, and was organized to raise funds for famine victims in Africa. It was a great event, and it helped send the We Are the World single to #1 in music charts around the world. It even made it on the US Country charts as well as to #1 in the French singles charts.

In case you've forgotten about the original "We Are The World" here it is:
