We Are The World 25 – What A Mess

Filed under: Gloria Estefan,Hot Mess,Jamie Foxx,Janet Jackson,Justin Bieber,Lil Wayne,Michael Jackson,Miley Cyrus

Where do I begin?

I guess I’ll sum it up first. You should never mess with a classic, never, it will not measure up to the original. Since I have so many problems with this video I’ll list them in numerical order to keep it easy to follow.

1. The first voice and image is that of a 15 year old semi heartthrob that no one will know in a year or two? – Justin Bieber

2. Using Michael Jackson’s image and voice, okay I guess but then throwing his sister Janet in to sing with him is just crap!

3. Miley Cyrus? OK I get it she’s popular.

4. Enrique Iglesias - Is there a worst singer on the planet that makes a living singing? This dude doesn’t even sing, he talks.

5. Michael Jackson once was ok, over and over is ridiculous!

6. Lil’ Wayne by far the worst on so many fronts. First off he doesn’t sing. So they auto tune him to death. Now there is quality. Kinda like steroids in sports. It’s cheating. Secondly, this was done a day before he was supposed to report to prison to serve a jail term. Classy!

7. Akon – Auto Tune again!

8. T-Pain – Auto Tune

9. Jamie Foxx doing Ray Charles was the most disrespectful thing I’ve seen! Even he was laughing when done.

10. The whole Rap segment. What what? Why didn’t the rappers get together and do their own version much like Gloria Estefan is with the Latin community?

Overall a big MESS!!!!! Click HERE to see for yourself!

   Agree on all points except Miley Cyrus. As much as I dislike the way her career is being run, and watching her slowly turn toward slutdom, she held her own vocally. Doubt Taylor Swift could have done so. The quality vocalist were apparent. The rest was a big mess.
