I completely agree with tasking. Mike rollin' in his grave right now. An atrocious rendition of an otherwise beautiful song. I'm sure they meant well, but musically.. c'mon now. Autotune, really? And then you got "classy" artists like Bennett and Streisand up in there like COMPLETELY out of place. At least make the rendition consistent...

I love "urban" music but there's times where it's really just not appropriate. "We Are The World" is a song that today's R&B/urban artists shouldn't be anywhere near. Especially when in the original you have brilliant black artists like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, James Ingram, Tina Turner, etc. etc.

It really makes me sad. Forget about the trends and make good music, dammit. Watch the making of the original "We Are The World" and you'll see just how much work was put into it.
