    Default We are the world, we are the crappy singers



    This is more hilarious in a sad, sad way than anything. There's barely any time between one cringe-worthy moment to the next...

    To paraphrase an insurance company CEO on the most recent episode of House, "I don't care what you say about me, as long as I stay rich"

    some of the women were good or at least decent, but it's sad that the absolute best singer by a wide margin was michael jackson.

    also, isn't that randy jackson in the front row?

    The Jamie Fox intro took too long plus it's being way too slow to load. Therefore I refuse to watch it. I hope I'm not missing out.

    unless you're interested in a commentary on how bad contemporary singers are compared to, say, the 80's when the original "all-star" version of this song was made, not really.

    What do you mean? Michael Jackson is actually a good singer.

    the point was that the only superb singer was the one that was dead.

    I don't know his name, but I do remember that I assumed he was a girl when I heard him on the radio, then was corrected, then didn't believe it. He is ridiculously popular and terrible.

    I just watched it all the way through. I love how Tony Bennett is in there to stand in stark contrast to every single other person in that room.

    Fuck Kanye West. Selfish sonuvabitch would probably only do it if they gave him a whole minutes of being terrible.

    Who is the Jamaican-ish guy? He got a lot of play in this and I am curious to hear what kind of music he does.

    Really? I knew it looked like Wyclef but I've never heard him go all 'Jamaica Mon' before.

    Not that I've listened much to Wyclef Jean.

    Because in Haitian Creole, that's a pronunciation of "Haiti". He isn't much of a performer though, although I don't know if that's just this song or him in general. I could have done without him but since he's Haitian and been a front man for the project I suppose he pretty much has to be in the song.

    Really the only truly terrible performances I noticed were the Disney Channel spawns (the pre-pubescent beginning the song and Miley Cyrus). Yeah, Michael Jackson is (was) good, but I'd argue there are far better vocalists than him in the song, Barbra Streisand for one. There are without a doubt sore thumbs but saying the song is just a series of interconnected "cringe-worthy" moments is taking it a little far, even if you really dislike American pop music today. There was more than enough talent in the studio, although at times the focused on the people with the least talent (although apparently I am the last person in the western hemisphere who doesn't think Kanye West is an abomination).

    Justin Bieber (the retard in the beginning who looks like Hilary Swank in Boys Don't Cry) is a YouTube spawn, not a Disney Channel spawn.

    NO REALLY?! I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL YOU TOLD ME THANKS U.

    Barabara Streisand's bit solo sounded ridiculous.

    There are without a doubt sore thumbs but saying the song is just a series of interconnected "cringe-worthy" moments is taking it a little far, even if you really dislike American pop music today.

    Well, he is black, so by virtue of that he's an abomination in your eyes.

    And as for it not being a musical abortion, I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree.

    Streisand is not a more talented singer than Michael Jackson

    although the line gets blurry when you realize she's probably a walking corpse at this point, but that's still one adjective better than MJ

    You know when you say "i dunno... maybe he has tourettes" that says to most people "hey I have no idea what he's doing" which warrants an explanation, so I explained. Wasn't even an ass about it, sorry about your ego though.

    Well, he is black, so by virtue of that he's an abomination in your eyes.

    this post would be relevant if a) I'd done anything uncivil in this thread (I haven't) or b) your opinion meant anything to me (it doesn't).

    Now go take some midol and crawl back into your cave.

    Your insults don't make any sense and are not clever. Also, I do what I want.

    Dreamily yours,

    Bieber and Kanye do bad jobs, because Bieber and Kanye always do bad jobs, but other than that I agree with you.

    LL Cool J rocked the mic.
