    I have watched this many many times. Not only is it magical, but one of the finest work from God given talents and is lost in present day music. I tear up every time when I see so many that have slipped away, and those who are no longer performing. I hope this recording never goes away and is preserved because it lends itself to a sweeter gentler time and I sincerely hope those who have passed on are singing together in a better place. Micheal Jackson I will always love you.

      Sorry, but I believe the talent and the heart isn't into it today as it was then. I was 17 yrs old when this came out and I thought it was great then. After watching it now I can't believe how powerful this is. These artist put their every bit of soul into this! I don't see it with today's entertainers.

    What an exceptionally beautiful song. Apart from the obvious things like the genuine emotion that's coming through and the incredibly powerful lyrics, I especially love how every voice is so different from the next and beautiful in its own way, you don't find that variety anymore. And I get goose pumps every time Bruce Springsteen raises his voice and just at any new voice joining in. What an amazing piece of art.

  • @cliohalpin2064
    @cliohalpin2064 10 ปีที่แล้ว +31

    I am reading this thread and cannot help but to wonder, is it possible for us to just stop our ignorance and stupidity, check ourselves to see if our petty actions are contributing towards any matter that is good or valued? What are these ugly comments stemming from? The artists came together and sang a song and there is a powerful message that even now, resonates and drifts in time. Through much effort from my generation and our philosophy that 'we can make a difference' and that 'we will change the world,' our world has changed for the better or worse. Our generation has sprouted a new generation, a frightened but a brave generation. Look at your children; yes, they are rather different than our generation. But they are the product of us and the message this song has been ringing in deft ears has come to ring in theirs. Please take a moment prior to making condescending remarks and bashing one another on the border of cruelty...each and every word strung together can heal or haunt someone. We all bleed, ya know and we all die. Can we spread this song around one time time with the human heart while we still can call ourselves human.

    There comes a time when we heed a certain call
    When the world must come together as one
    There are people dying
    And it's time to lend a hand to life
    The greatest gift of all
    We can't go on pretending day by day
    That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
    We all are a part of God's great big family
    And the truth, you know,
    Love is all we need
    [Chorus:]
    We are the world, we are the children
    We are the ones who make a brighter day
    So let's start giving
    There's a choice we're making
    We're saving our own lives
    It's true we'll make a better day
    Just you and me
    Send them your heart so they'll know that someone cares
    And their lives will be stronger and free
    As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
    So we all must lend a helping hand
    [Chorus]
    When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
    But if you just believe there's no way we can fall
    Well...well...well
    Let's realize that a change can only come
    When we stand together as one

    You know, I was almost 15 years old when this song was released. I will be 49 this year and hearing that song now, still today, gives me goosebumps.
    To have singers from such a wide variety of genres come together for a common good was awesome then and would be awesome now. Check the egos and problems at the door, and truly do something that would benefit humanity...

    2:00 "As God has shown us by turning stone to bread..." If you write a song now (2016) with this lyric in the US, people will flip up and down saying this is extremely divisive and offensive! This lyric certainly will not survive and the person who wrote it will be fired and will have to look for another job. This is how the world has changed only after 30 years or so. So much for "we are the world"...

    As usual, the originals are ALWAYS the best. Better than that crappy remake that's for damn sure. If Quincy--or whoever the hell's idea to do the remake--had any common sense, they should have reused the original recording artists (who are still alive) for the 2010 version. Then I probably would have felt the love and emotion as I do in this 1985 version.
    No disrespect for those who loved the remake; but I just wasn't feelin' it. I thought it was total crap. Wonder what Michael would have thought if he heard it.....

    • @HeavenlyLove47
      @HeavenlyLove47 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I totally get you. Those were my exact thoughts. It just didn't have ad much...genuine emotion in it. It didn't seem real...almost like they just wanted to get paid or whatever. I was wondering why none of the original artist were there...when I heard Lil Wayne sing I gave up on trying to like the new version.

      Agreed 100%. It goes to show the music industry has changed, most artists of this generation are not like they were in the 80s. This song is full of power and emotion, the remake is not ^^

    Wow Hollywood this was one of my favorite songs back in the day Lol...I really didn't expect you to know but at 2:02 you are mistaken. God never turn stone into bread that was merely a statement satan made to temp Jesus knowing He was hungry from His Fast... That never happen... It's ok I still Love You just as God does... Everyone has such beautiful voices...

      Hodgoo suarez Don't be a douche just because you can. Either have a little respect and let people enjoy their inalienable right to believe in whatever they want to without discrimination, or else prove to me beyond the shadow of a doubt that God doesn't exist and I'll retract my comment. And although you don't believe in Him, I'll still pray that God blesses you. Have a nice day!

    I like how you labled most of the chorus singers, but I haven't found a video yet where they label everyone in the group. I am not still sure who each person 100% is. like I think 2 or 3 other Jackson's are in there besides Latoya and tito, there is a lady in the front row with sunshades on that keeps holding the mic to her ear/throat I don't know she is, and I think the pointer sisters are in this and tey are not labled, there is a black guy in the middle front or 2nd row, not sure who he is either. but this is pretty awesome

PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD IN GENERAL KNOW AMERICANS ARE GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME WITH CORRUPT LEADERS. IT'S NOT US THEY'RE ANGRY WITH. IT'S SAD ...THE BICKERING BETWEEN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF FAITH, RACE, ETC. GOD, OR WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS FOR HIM CREATED THE UNIVERSE(S) WITH ALL THE CONSTALLATIONS AND ALL BEINGS. ONENESS AND LOVE ARE THE ANSWER I BELIEVE.
