MTN Joyous Celebration teams up with musical acts from all over Africa in a heartfelt campaign initiated by MTN South Africa to fight Ebola and Xenophobia.
I totally agree! I've got chills and tears listening to this version for the first time. So inspiring and moving, especially with the background chants and harmonies.
Stumbled across this version, what a beautiful one!!! The best one by far! So proud to have worked for MTN also, Kidos to them for this collaboration!!! 🙏🏻
The funniest comment has to be from some lady in the comments below.. "the song would have been better if all the AFRICAN artists sang" how many African artists do we have again?? Just a mere 200 I suppose wow ... such levels of intelligence no wonder the world thinks we r a joke. When MJ and Lionel got together they did it for AFRICA coz we love handouts and made to feel helpless. So when Africans try to do something they are persecuted and ridiculed. GIVE YOURSELVES A ROUND OF APPLAUSE 4 THE CONSTANT NEGATIVITY AGAINST EACH OTHER. We are expects after all in that dpt. Killing one another and hating each other.
just as i started watching this video, i have been experiencing goosebumps from the start till the end of the video, most of it all is seeing these artists in one studio from different African countries, where i could not see who sang better than anyone but i saw one united voice coming out in different forms. i am i wish such programs could expand and be done every year ...
golden voices. let us not lie tu. thandiswa mazwai's humbles me with her whole-packageness and Kelly khumalo's voice is also on another level...I love this version
the fact that your own artist ddnt feature on this song doesnt change the fact that those guys killed it. It is funny when a non musical person trys to say that the song wasnt perfectly done ask we will tell you the cost of that
Who would think, that a simple song, sung by some of the finest artists in America after 25 to 35 years, would still be as popular as the day it was released, right now with what is going on, it serves to unite the people with one common goal show how we can be United in the fight
You are right, after all that is the whole point of the song. At the time they where focusing on Africa, but the wording were intended to Unite not just the people of the U.S in helping the people of Africa, but to do the same with other people of other countries, in other words humanity as a whole, no matter the time, and no matter who need the help.
Thank you my brothers and sisters!!!! Up You Africans!!!! Great talent on CONTINENT!!!!! PROUD AFRICAN!!!!!😁😁😁🙏🙏🙏 Let's develop great LOVE FOR EACH OTHER. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Still watching this in 2022 and not taking ANYTHING away from the original, but hearing this song done by my fellow Africans just hits differently. I am from South Africa and no matter your race, religion etc...we all understand and feel the struggle. Africa...the most beautiful continent in the world!!

thank you michael jackson with an amazing song
How I wish what's being sang in this song is reflected in resolving the current situation in South Africa
whats the situation?
just as i started watching this video, i have been experiencing goosebumps from the start till the end of the video, most of it all is seeing these artists in one studio from different African countries, where i could not see who sang better than anyone but i saw one united voice coming out in different forms. i am i wish such programs could expand and be done every year ...

Nombulelo Mthimkulu you lied already ..
Oh, I’ve never heard this version or knew of another version besides the original. This is soulful and beautiful. Thank you💕.
Okay Khaya Mthethwa nailed his part. Or should I say the person who gave him that part of the song is brilliant.
sfiso ncwane, may his soul rest in peace
the fact that your own artist ddnt feature on this song doesnt change the fact that those guys killed it. It is funny when a non musical person trys to say that the song wasnt perfectly done ask we will tell you the cost of that
you do not have to be a musician to be a judge.. this is a great song but our lovely singers here had their up and downs ......
Who’s here in 2024❤
Wooow I m here
Am here
Nothing can be as the ORIGINAL "We Are The World" IMO.
Yup
The Northern lights tears are not enough

Michael Jackson it‘s the only „ clean human“, in to the we are the world Family......enjoy the truth
enjoyed the african version . this is great loving the south African vibe
Those ppl with these negative comments ,am just wondering if you can do better ,than these ppl who came together to send out a powerful mgs
With all this,,,, you this oloriburuku pple of southy won't stop xenophobia....... 😢 😢
Hahahaha
Omo Yoruba
Who the epp
Wow.let's keep on with this unity
Such wonderful voices ! Thank you and bless you all . . .
seeing sifiso ncwane made me happy and emotional at the sametime
This is just beautiful.
Sweet. Am proud of you Micheal Jackson. God Bless. Amen.
yes yes !No to Xenophobia let us love each other Please
Wish they can remix it now so burna boy ,wiz and Davido can be there
This is beautiful. The unity and all, but this past few years, I am sad of what has become of South Africa and Nigeria.
khaya mthethwa and kelly khumalo nailed their part
Thandiswa mazwai voice 🔥🔥🔥
5:07 - 5:18 Beautiful....
Thank you Michael Jackson for this song. Lionel Richy and Quincy Jones production
Great! I thank you...from Finland...
YEMI ALADE!!!!!
She sang nothing
Zamo at 5:38,that voice gave me goose bump all over my body.
Ci
Same here. Sounds like the one of the 1980s.
I love this song just missing our idol Michael Jackson in ❤️😔
Seeing this for the first time.... I must say.. is very nice,, we have talent in Africa
Could someone give me the lyrics being sung underneath the chorus in the back half of the song??
Wow! I'm speechless!
I grew up listening to this song I'm 20 this year
King of Pop💕❤️Michael Jackson
This collaboration was awesome. The African spin on the spin with the choir backup was great. SA, Zim & Nigeria. During lockdown, we need hope.
5:38 zamo nailed it.his part was the best.
This is so Nice , I just wish I also Had a Voice 2 Sing
I'm.listening to this song in different country ..good job africia
Big Up Motherland... MJ & LR know Africa didn't mess up their creation... In fact, it's the best version after the original.
Love this version... absolutely beautiful...thankyou and God bless you all 🎶💚
Yemi Alade you are just too good 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
She sang nothing
Harryson on Cindy Lauper's line... really something went wrong there...but overall it was a good African collaboration
This version is beautiful and a thousand times better than the 2010 version by Haití.
This is very very very awful to watch ... And who gave Kcee mic... This is 2024 and everyone involved in this needs to be flogged. Wetin be this 🤣😂🤣😂
1st Place - Original version1985

What happened to musicians from other African countries? So Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe is now all of Africa?
Still watching this in 2022 and not taking ANYTHING away from the original, but hearing this song done by my fellow Africans just hits differently. I am from South Africa and no matter your race, religion etc...we all understand and feel the struggle. Africa...the most beautiful continent in the world!!
Wow..beautiful so powerful
yessses,,this is BAD😥😥😪😪😣😣..thy sucked out the meaning of the song,instead everyone wants to show off their vocal skills
Such talented vocalists. The sang so beautiful. Michael Jackson would have been proud!!!
wow Nigerians and southAfricans are just awesome
Yemi Alade woooooow

Great song... stop killing each other... practice what you preached!!
Who is here 2021
Great artistes no doubt but the song was badly recreated... Obvious lack of passion to drive any conviction
Nice rendition, I feel like south African artists killed it 🔥🔥
I know these artists are not bad singers... and the directors have been directing hits over the years... so what went wrong here?
Bt Tiwa Savage guys
Nothing can beat the original too many more powerful diverse singers!
If only we as Africans came together as we do in music Africa would be great again.
where the artists from another country especially Tanzania
We are the World let’s just start loving each other and always pray for each other
Mama Africa Mother of the World
It's brillant... It's original... It's essential. Like a love missile !
O motle Wena Modimo
HV played this song with every version of it wow still can't get tired of it ❤❤❤
thanks to Africa

Collins Barasa hahaha haha 😂

Sifiso Ncwane R.I.P❤️
They did wayyyyyyy better than I expected. I thoroughly enjoyed it
Dont ever judge a book by its cover
5:35 - 5:45. 💯
uRingo Madlingozi?
It doesn't feel right without Ringo
+kgantshang Shai : It really doesn't. He is one of SA's greats and they don't even feature him. Ewu!
What about our poet Mzwake Mbuli?
