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!

Gloria Estefan Buys Concert Tickets For PR Jobless

Filed under: Celebs Do Good,Gloria Estefan

Thousands of laid-off government employees in Puerto Rico will be doing the conga for free, thanks to Gloria Estefan.

The Cuban-born singer bought some 2,000 tickets for her weekend concert and they will distributed by raffle among the nearly 17,000 workers who learned last month that they will lose their jobs beginning Nov. 6.

Stefan bought all the remaining upper-level tickets – at $40 each – as a gift to those who were affected, said Harold Rosario, the singer’s spokesman in Puerto Rico, said Thursday.

Officials have begun distributing the tickets to various government agencies, which will raffle them.

The government announced the layoffs in late September as it tries to close the gap on a $3.2 billion deficit. The U.S. territory is struggling with its third year of recession with a 15 percent unemployment rate, higher than any U.S. state.

Tickets to hear the seven-time Grammy winner sing Saturday range from $40 to $125.

Almost 8,000 tickets have been sold so far, Rosario said.

They don’t come any classier or nicer then Gloria and Emilio! Nicely done.
