Re: *VIDEO* Info regarding Prince & Paris WATW contribution.

I guess we will know in a few hours if they are part of it. I'm not sure I believe anything when it comes to the Jacksons till I see it! LOL
As for them singing, I would love to hear them no matter what. I actually think they probably can sing. I worry that no matter how good they are that people will disect them. BUT I do think if they do it, it will be great!

Dude, please quote where I said that I approve of the people singing there... -.-

No need to be so defensive... I come here in peace...

Anyways, I was in another forum and people are already talking about the kids singing voices. That's why I said I don't want them to sing a verse because you know the whole world is judging them. But I have faith in the kids. If they want to participate, then I'll be happy for them.

Re: *VIDEO* Info regarding Prince & Paris WATW contribution.

I heard about this but I wasn't sure how truthful it was. It doesn't sound likely that katherine would have them so exposed 2 days in a row but who knows maybe it's true and they want to do it since it's for a good cause but the media will be harsh.
 
Re: *VIDEO* Info regarding Prince & Paris WATW contribution.

Mary Hart just updated again and took out the part about the kids coming. So it looks like it was just a rumor after all.

I have no saying.
I have learn my lesson yesterday: wait and see :D
I was so uncomfortable with the idea of the kids in front of the camaras and they were simply awesome and perfect. What I still DON'T like is the idea is using the kids to call everybody's attention, as if they were an attraction. But that is another thing.
Let's wait and see

true. you can argue both ways. somebody could be pushing them to do it. but from what ive seen and what theyve said, they WANT to help. a song like this is geared for buzz and attention, thats how it will raise money. if Mj's kids want to sing, the song will generate more money for haiti, which is probably what the kids intentions are. with studio equipment nowadays, producers could make a tone deaf person sound good. (as you can see with mainstream music nowadays)...so if the kids sound great, haters will say it was studio effects. i can tell prince has a good singing voice just from him talking.

Yep and some youtube a-hole online had the nerve to make fun both of them today after the grammys. He made a tasteless joke about the kids. This ass was a grown man, I hope i will never run into him or I will hurt him.

oh well, publicity was needed seems to me...
 
Re: *VIDEO* Info regarding Prince & Paris WATW contribution.

Well it does seem a bit too soon. Prince Michael Jackson singing for the first time is a BIG thing, being the King Of Music's son. Can't imagine the family putting a kid under that type of pressure so soon after his fathers death.

P.S: Don't the kids own the rights to this song?

The estate must own at least 50% of this song as it was co - written by MJ (well the major part was written by him), so I assume it has to fall under Mijac Publishing which is owned by the estate.
 
Re: *VIDEO* Info regarding Prince & Paris WATW contribution.

Quincy was interviewed today at one of those entertainment news show and he said that Michael's voice will be included in the tribute as well as his children.

It is looking like that may have changed. They aren't there. ET is there and was reporting that they were coming but they deleted mentioning the kids about 15 minutes ago. I am thinking they changed their minds or Katherine decided not to allow them.

I am not complaining cuz it's for a good cause.

But I have to notice that just how better everything used to be. The music? I mean, take a look at those artists that recorded the original song - not just Michael. But numerous others. And now? Everything is so... Meh. Whatever. Average.

Just noticing.

Well the fact that they have to re-record a classic instead of writing a completely new and more appropriate song says a lot about the music industry.

If Michael was alive, he would of wrote a new song to help the suffering survivors of the terrible Earthquake..........and he would also write another song to help those still in poverty in Africa, Asia and other parts of the World!!!!!

I know its for a good cause but you can't replace legends. not just mj obviously but your taking away the orginality of: stevie wonder, cyndi lauper ... and putting newbies on ?? thats kind of insult. but i'm not complaining- just sayin
 
Re: Live -- 'We Are the World' Remake

How is it that Lionel and Quincy have total control of this song? Doesn't the MJ estate have a say?

That's fine. Maybe it's all just too soon for them. Understandable. That's a lot of pressure on them, considering their father is Michael Jackson. People are going to expect so much from them. :/ They should take their time with whatever path they want to take.
 
Re: *VIDEO* Info regarding Prince & Paris WATW contribution.

I think its an amazing song for the kids to be in. I am 100% sure that Michael is in it because that`s what Quincy said. I am sure it`ll sound amazing. I hope they dont stray too far from the original, as in adding more beats and thump. Cuz the song is soo perfect to begin with.

We Are the World 2010 Remake Includes Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, and Barbra Streisand


1985, and with co-writers Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie at the wheel it became a smash success. Now the song is being brought out once again to be used as a way to help the people of Haiti after the devastating earthquake, and it seems like every big name in the music industry wants to be a part of this effort.

This seems like one of the best kept secrets in the music industry right now, because nobody had put together a list of who had been invited to participate in the recording of this latest track. The musicians were meeting today in order to complete the re-made version of We Are the World, and finally some of the names are being revealed. Among the superstars of music that are taking part in the 2010 remake of We Are the World, we have Lady Gaga, Barbra Streisand, Justin Timberlake, Celine Dion, Enrique Iglesias, Fergie, Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Eminem. It's an amazing list of music artists, and when the final list is revealed this is sure to become a huge success on the music charts.

When the first version of We Are the World was released back in 1985, Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, and Michael Omartian were responsible for putting the wonderful group of artists together. Some of the biggest artists of the time to take part were Richie, Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, and Diana Ross just to name a few. It was a great event, and it helped send the We Are the World single to #1 in music charts around the world. It even made it on the US Country charts as well as to #1 in the French singles charts. Look for We Are the World 2010 to find similar success.

Mary, who said that Barbra Streisand is doing a solo, also noted, "Quincy Jones is in total control again." She also said of Richie and Jones: "They say the intensity is 50 times greater than 1985."

The all-star roster also includes Celine Dion, Snoop Dogg, Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Nicole Richie, Justin Bieber, Earth, Wind & Fire, Lil Wayne, Julianne Hough, Gladys Knight, Wyclef Jean, Kanye West, Randy Jackson, Faith Evans, Vince Vaughn, Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, Mary Mary, Musiq Soulchild, Sugarland, Mya, Josh Groban, Kid Cudi, Jeff Bridges, Usher, Natalie Cole, Jennifer Hudson, Toni Braxton, Busta Rhymes, Akon, will.i.am, Keri Hilson, Robin Thicke, Brandy, Harry Connick, Jr., Tyrese, Trey Songz, Jordin Sparks, Rob Thomas, The Wilson sisters from Heart, Fonzworth Bentley, Tony Bennett and Al Jardine and Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

Of the line-up, Mary commented, "What a mix -- Tony Bennett, P!nk, Wyclef Jean and Brian Wilson!" She also said, "Just talked to Pink about that amazing Grammy performance. She had a blast and is thrilled to be here tonight."

She also pointed out that Jamie Foxx is using his Flip camera to record the behind the scenes.

"I introduced Julianne Hough to Harry Connick, Jr. She was thrilled," Mary also shared.

And when it comes to tomorrow's Oscar nominations, Mary said, "Jeff Bridges just told me he is not setting an alarm."

ET can also tell you that the late Michael Jackson, who co-wrote the original song with Lionel Richie, will be included in the new recording.

The new version of the classic song is being recorded at the former A&M Recording Studios, where the original song was recorded. Lionel Richie and Jones produced the original song, which was recorded 25 years ago to benefit victims of African famine, and will guide the new version.

Oh please, I hope they don't give Miley a lead vocal (cringe). When I hear her voice, both singing and speaking, it is like having a knife stabbed into my head.
