We Are the World

I saw on someone's Facebook the other day a comment about some new version of "We Are the World." I didn't know what they were talking about and didn't immediately look it up and kind of forgot about it. Then at my spin class today, the instructor used it as part of our warm-up music. I guess I'm behind the times because it's also been played repeatedly during the winter Olympics, but I haven't watched a single second of it. I'm not a huge fan of the song to begin with, but it's a catchy tune. I just thought comparing 3 different versions I found would be interesting.

ORIGINAL CLASSIC. Sometimes you just shouldn't mess with the classics. Many popular artists from "back in the day" :)



REMAKE FOR HAITI. Is it sad that I can name more people in the ORIGINAL than I can in the new one?! And could have done without the auto-tune (that electronic/robotic sound) and rapping. Seriously, you thought that was cool? I'm not a fan of this one.




TYLER WARD & CREW. Cool acoustic version. Perhaps I like this one the best because I don't know anyone singing, and for the most part they don't get crazy and do their own "style" (except for Elise) that makes it hard to understand any of the words. Just simple, clean.
