Quick Review: We Are The World 25

The Good:
  • Wycleaf Jean parts were fantastic, probably some of the best stuff he's done.
  • Kayne West coming out of hiding for this was a pleasant surprise, and he didn't seem like a tool.
  • Keeping the Micheal Jackson original in tact was great. Anybody else doing it would have been nothing short of horrible
  • Keeping in line of the original video by having random celebs "sing" with the group.
The Bad:
  • Barbra Streisand: She's horrible. Why is still singing?
  • Lil Wayne/Akon: I understand being concerned for Haiti, but why were they given solos?
  • Auto-Tune: In a song that is trying to raise profits for the earthquake, putting the must annoying thing in music in the last 25 years, will not help it.
  • Rap Session: At the time, it was probably cool, but it won't hold up in the years to come. Sorry...That rap was horrible.
