    It's been 25 years since "We Are The World" was released and now Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are planning to record an anniversary edition of the song to benefit the Haitian earthquake victims. Supposedly they had already planned to perform on January 28 as part of the anniversary celebration, but when the earthquake in Haiti struck the project formed in to a fundraiser for the country. Usher, John Legend and Natalie Cole have been invited thus far and more performers are expected to join. The original song featured Richie, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Cyndi Lauper and Billy Joel among MANY others. A music video will accompany new version as well. Who do U want to hear on the new and improve "We Are The World/default.jpg"/>"We Are The World" - Again!

      -
      She should have just pissed on Bob's grave - it would have been less of an insult than this travesty of a cover
      -
      does this idiot really think she can sing?

      Damn! I didn't even listen, Just wanted to say hello and I'm new to the Posse…lol! But after reading the three comments I just has to see this! Okay so what's up with trying to fake a Jamaican accent when singing??? I mean put your own twist on it, if you're going to butcher it as a cover!!!

      "None of Dem can stop da time…" I mean come on Riri, Really?



    5. 5

      I love it



    6. 6

      and the hating and bashing begins… THis girl is doing somehting to help Haiti and people still have to hate and be nasty! gosh! she will never get a break! I guess thats the price you pay to be famous. Have ugly ass, Jealous bitches critisize everything you do, good or bad. Rihanna looks Gorgeous!!! She did her own take on Bob Marley's song and it came out beautiful! Good Job Rihanna!!



    7. 7

      Horrid.



    8. 8

      puh-leeeese!!! this idiot couldn't find her ass with both hands much less find Haiti on a map - she tried (and failed) to exploit her "domestic abuse" situation to push her crappy album, I have little doubt she would try to milk publicity from the corpses of dead Haitians
      -
      btw - Marley was Jamaican (with an English father), definitely not Haitian - perhaps someone should have told this brainless twat

      Ok… great that she wants to help but she should do it with her huge bank account not by singing an atrocious rendition of Redemption Song. What a joke and she is a studio singer not a live performer, she should not be allowed to sing on stage! bob marley, bunny wailer and peter tosh would be pretty pissed!



    11. 11

      Re: urlatinatati – you are a blind bat! if she was doing good, she wouldn't feel the need like most celebs do to publicize it, she would be in haiti helping with her own hands or at least working with relief efforts here. that is helping, attempting to sing a cover of a legendary song is not.



    12. 12

      Damn…she ruined that song! Her voice is soo awful!!! Why does anyone really like this chick anymore? Seriously?



    13. 13

      Re: urlatinatati – I'm all for her helping out, as with other celebs, but that rendition of that song was just awful. Her voice is just not good live. And if she seemed more sincere in any of her good will efforts, she prob wouldn't get as much bashing as she does. Prob is she uses her good will to promote herself. That's not cool.



    14. 14

      wow people stop being so negative rihanna can obviously locate haiti on the map! she's from the barbados in the caribean where haiti is located and where im from. so dont call her a negro you asshole if u dont care about haiti or w.e dont comment on this post like seriously you people have issues and are obviously always angry like what is your problem. i love the song and i commend rihanna for singing it and i hope if u havent already donated that this may inspire you to.



    15. 15

      stuning! love her =)



    16. 16

      Re: gravytoot – Thats all you have is five dollars sad LMAO



    17. 17

      eww that sucked



    18. 18

      That was horrible…..and since you love her so much and have trashed Chris Brown so much….how do you feel about her dating a man with an order of protection on him for stalking his ex?????



    19. 19

      fuck the haters, the girl is sick and actually doing something unlike you fat loseres sitting at your computer thinking your cool by bashing some one who will never even know your name! no point.



    20. 20

      Re: urlatinatati – haha hating and bashing… no one's hating rhianna, just her take on this song… God bless her for helping out a worthy cause, but do us a favor and just write a check, your talents aren't really needed if THATS what we're gonna get…lol



    21. 21

      BTW thanks for the sweet default avatar Perez! :)



    22. 22

      Re: ba-buttons – OH I HAD TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE LAUGHING AT THIS…LOL THIS HAS GOTTA BE IN THE RUNNING FOR BEST QUOTE AWARD OF 2010 .! …..PS… I hate this broad she cant sing, cant dance to save her life



    23. 23

      I am so sick of these celebrities being trendy and having fund raisers for this crap…Those poor people won't see a dime. Just like Katrina….all this money was raised and those poor people are still living in trailers….It's all a scam and something to make them feel better about themselves



    24. 24

      OmiFUCKINGGod! Was that really supposed to do Bob justice? I just puked a little in my mouth at the thought that that was a bob song…butchered! torn to shreds. I'm all about helping the Haitians but c'mon now! that was horrendous!



    25. 25

      broke ugly bitches hating on Rihanna as usual…since you twats are so concerned about celebrities doing charity,reach in your pocket and give money yourselves…no huh? then shut the hell up!!!



    26. 26

      Re: dmddmd – EXACTLY!! she can sing worth a SHIT! she needs to just write a big ass check.



    29. 29

      Re: RussianChick – what's popular isn't always right.



    30. 30

      my fav song =] RIP bob marley. To the haters:what have u done for haiti???



    31. 31

      Her voice sounds so strange on the itunes version. Sounds like a chain smoker



    32. 32

      Holy cow! Why didn't they just get Lauryn Hill to sing this and maybe had Rihanna just model some clothes for charity.



    33. 33

      Re: madamking –

      We have donated! So what's your point? Good cause or not, she butchered the song.



    34. 34

      How is "tuning in" to watch u screech into a microphone going to help the people of Haiti exactly??? Ooooooooo, a tragedy!!! More publicity for meeee, yayeee.



    35. 35

      yes at least she helping while yall sit back and hate get a life



    36. 36

      She butchers the song!



    37. 37

      I praise her for helping out, but the outfits she have been wearing are too loud and flashy for what she's supporting, she doesn't have to look crazy all the time. a nice simple black dress or whatever would have been better. Good job Rhiana, way to dress for the occasion….way to be.
