This was a Cyndi Lauper Solo Recording session in the making of the song We Are The World in 1985. Now if I may ask you for comments, wasn't she cute or what ?
@Screaming Mimi's Oh, so they DID get the demo beforehand? It was a week, btw, not 2 days. But at least you acknowledge you lied in your hundreds of comments. So grow a spine and edit ALL the comments you made accordingly. BUT it's unfortunately obvious you're one of those shallow Prince stans, who think putting MJ down will make ppl prefer Prince. Your type of Prince stans are arrogant, jealous so they lie their asses off, cause they can't swallow more ppl prefer MJ than Prince. Despite even Prince thought the ONLY worthy rival he had was MJ. He called MJ genius for a reason. Try to swallow the truth, finally, and f*ck off MJ related videos unless you have sg nice (or at least accurate) to say. We all read your bullshits over and over, so time to change your tone and attitude.
@Screaming Mimi's So they DID get the demo before the recording session. So you DID lie your ass off saying the singers learnt about what they gonna sing only at the studio. Though the singers all were pro and had days to practice the song. Pro means they were all prepared to changes during recordings, THIS recording was no different in that. And of course you have no spine. Your only capability is hate, biase and lies. Poor you.

After watching the documentary that came out last night, it makes sense. Michael wrote the song (along with Lionel) that’s why it was easy for him, he played a major part in creating the song. Also y’all gotta realize how hard it is for alot of these artists to sing like this. Watch the documentary and you’ll have a different perspective on this
Yup, MJ and Lionel wrote it and were really comfortable with the notes that needed to be sung. Huey had to adapt and take his voice to a place he wasn't used to. Knew a lot about the song already, but watching the documentary made me appreciate Huey way way more and loved how hard he tried until he got it just perfect.
Screaming Mimi's Michael had proved that he was able to sing live..Just look up some of his performances that DIDN'T include dancing. You will understand his talent then.He used playback because he couldnt dance that great and sing that great simultaneously. Yet,he always captivated the audience
+Screaming Mimi's sweetie take a seat. Michael Jackson is one of the greatest male vocalist of all time and is rated as a star vocalist alongside Whitney and Mariah. educate ya self boo.
Cyndi's execution kept getting better until it reached the absolutely perfect line we all know, and the "Yeah Yeah YEAH" at the end only made it even more amazing.
Michelle Preis the chick sure is full of life . here's a little secret, in the eighties when I was a teen I had a crush on her big time even though my friends made fun of me over it.
Well, he did co-write the song with Lionel Richie and worked on the demo with Quincy Jones about a week before the night they asked the rest of the singers to record after the American Music Awards that year. Everyone else had to learn their parts in a matter of hours because they needed to record everything before the next morning since everyone was flying out to resume their own work schedules.
@@Dannied0ll If you didn't notice, they were trying different renditions of the same section. Different harmonies between three singers. And some semi-improvised parts to add the singers' personal touches. It's like when you make a movie or television show, you take several "takes". In the end, you choose the one that fits best. Michael's section did not contain a harmony with any other singers. It was a single straightforward melody. There was nothing to experiment with. If you didn't notice, everyone was singing in key the entire time. There were no "wrong" notes. But there was room to experiment on who got what note in the harmony. Part of it is that you "don't know those singers". Cyndi Lauper certainly was not straining to hit any of those notes, though she did add some rasp to her voice for effect. It was effortless for her, too. And she was light and funny. No sweat.
He wasn't mad. MJ was really, REALLY shy. He was just just delivering his line when needed and otherwise stepping back and letting Lionel handle the famous person relationship stuff.
@krabbi maybe you need to be bitch slapped cause he was proven innocent by the fbi and judge and if you have any evidence thats not on youtube please provide it because wade and the fbi needs it
As much as do know his work ethic was incredible. He did co-write the song and worked on the demo for a week before it was actually recorded when the rest of the singers took time from their already busy schedules and instead of heading home or to a after-parties showed up to learn their parts, rehearse and record in a matter of hours after the American Music Awards that year. As I recall, the song's chorus with the entire group was recorded first. Then majority of the group left when the selected solo parts where selected to record the individual lines. Everything except Bob Dylan and the later part by Ray Charles was recorded before daylight the next day after the American Music Awards. The extra parts were recorded a week after.
@@Sirynx77 oh yeah Ive seen the documentary. And trust me I'm not taking anything away from they're wonderful performances, but as a singer it is very hard to literally sound identical every time like a record player. And Michael was very busy at the time too so it just shows his own work ethic added to everyone else's. Admirable.
Yeah. I've seen this before in my career. Her performances are about emotion, connection and raw talent. So she's thrown into this project with performers who are about precision and tight harmonies (and the bridge people). Even in her own songs, especially live, she doesn't sing on beat with with the other vocals. But that's her free spirit style and that's why we love her. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. As a musician with little technical training, I've been in situations where we're writing and they're like, "You need to fill this note to complete the chord" and like, "um..."
Only those who lived at that time understand the magic of these voices together. I was a child completely enchanted by the talent of each of them, especially Steve Perry. All are irreplaceable.
@@Albusdumbledoree I made this comment because a lot of people are criticizing some of these singers. At the time there was no AI, everyone was very talented, despite the difficulties presented during rehearsals.
michael looked like that one kid who practiced all night for a school presentation and got disappointed that his partners didn't (yall stop getting mad in my mentions it was a lil jokey joke i made when i was like 14 damn!!! 😭😭😭)
@Screaming Mimi's whats your point? lots of artists, including these, have lip synced live shows here and there and anyway the man has a great voice and talent AND no, he didnt even lip sync many shows because lip sync was BARELY a thing in the 80s. im not sure if you're big enough of a michael jackson 'fan' to claim you know that so just sit down ok
@Screaming Mimi's his three tours with his brothers were 100 % live. The Bad tour was like 95 % live. The dangerous tour was around 50% live. Then the hIstory tour was like 10 % live. And then he was almost 40 and had problems with the voice. Still like over 300 shows that was puerly live. Plus he was a dancer, so sometimes it wss better to lipsynce songs like Smooth Criminal, Jam, Scream and so on
Agree. A person like Cyndi has to be Cyndi. Holding back will just make her awkward. She nailed it in the end and I like her part a lot. Full of character
Joe Jackson baby! He was gone get it right and tight, even if it took all night. The perfection was on auto pilot for ✨️Mike✨️ just automatic with no static letting his fans have it💫
@@aidanjanemcintosh6919 he basicly wrote the song, Lionel just came up with a few ideas to make it better. with that being said, MJ heavily "inspired" himself on "Do They Know It's Christmas?".....
I later read that Quincy was annoyed at her because of the bracelots and stuff, but I thought she nailed it on her first take. I was never a big fan of the guy before her who not only dropped out of key but also came in too close to the mic so that when Cindi had her turn, she had to wait for him to get out of her way. I thought it was Huey who did more to f*ff up the recording than CL.
Right? He got there earlier and got his part done. But when He was putting his voice, and they would stop him to re-do it and I was like, re-do what? MJ is flawless but I guess people who worked with him, knew he was perfectionist.
Watching this made me love love love Steve Perry! He was so spot on, so supportive, and just a talented artist amongst the most talented of artists! He really stood out to me!❤
He wasn't looking at the sheet like the rest, and every time he gave a different take. Made it look effortless. A real pro, great musician and indeed a stand out.
Well he still knocks it out of the park. I don't know why you are so insecure that you bash anyone who suggests Cyndi Lauper isn't the best vocalist of all time. I get being a fan, but anyone with ears knows she was an average singer.
Es sorprendente que todas las intervenciones de Cyndi Lauper siempre fueron afinadas y en el compas pero ninguna fue igual a la otra. Eso quiere decir que tiene una gran creatividad e improvisación. Una genio.
And he could've too if he wanted. He had amazing range. I'm scratching my head here, listening to these other three struggle to sing one/two lines on key.
@@paradoxmeld2937 For a nobody I sure do have you bothered. Lol! And the truth still stands: Those other folks in the clip couldn't sing a simple line or two on key. Not only that, some of them couldn't even sing on beat! How are they professional singers and can't even sing a few simple lines on key and on beat? Lmao! That's just bad singing. Period. And don't try to use MJ as a scapegoat. It doesn't matter if a singer's singing next to Michael Jackson or Roseanne Barr. If you're a so-called professional singer, you should be able to sing simple notes on beat with relative ease. Especially if you're singing in a group because the other voices naturally mask a bad note here and there. That's why people who are picked to sing solos (like Michael Jackson in this clip) tend to be the best singers in the group. It's because when singing solos there's no other voices to hide behind. If a soloist sings a bad note (like Cyndi Lauper in this clip), it's more noticable. And I don't even hate Cyndi or the others. I've heard them sing before and they sound alright in their specific genre at times. But this clip just proves that there's a huge difference between "performers" and real, talented singers. This clip shows why MJ is the King of Pop.
Cyndi really is an amazing talent, all her takes were slightly different but each one was Gold, and when she nailed it, it was perfection. Really under appreciated in my opinion, one of my favorite voices of all time. Ah Ye ye yeah yeah yeahhhh
You could really hear how she developed her part. Every take was better than the previous one. In the final take her timing how she came in and the high notes at the end were perfect and give the track the energy that it needed.
Yeah! I adore her! I've loved her since she was in her band "Blue Angel" back in 1980. I have their one and only album. And not trying to be rude, but her name is spelled "Cyndi". 😊💖👍
Michael Jackson is just a generational talent, his part was very perfect Is an honor to see this and to know the dedication they all put together to give us the greatest song ever written ❤️
This video is pure authenticity. A rare look into the candid-ness of a group of legends. Theres no way footage like this could ever exist of the artists of today as the music industry is too highly guarded in public image & promotion and many performances are tweaked to perfection without allowing us to see the work going into it. Even live concerts are staged.
Cyndi stated in interviews that she didn't want to be rude and try and over power Kim Carnes and Hewy Lewis so she held back..when she did over power..it was pure magic!
This scene is pure gold, Michael and Lionel looking for perfection while Darryl Hall, Kenny Logins and Steve Perry try to help Huey Lewis, Kim Carnes and of course Cyndy Lauper, Only big names in music without auto tune. Love it.
Shout out to Lionel Richie for making Cyndi more comfortable with herself. And for suggesting that they sing that last part in harmony. Excellent idea Lionel! Oh and I'm glad the Netflix doc came out. It shows that no one received demos like some idiot lied and said they did. Michael looks disappointed, but thats because he didn't go to the AMAs that were going on. He was practicing by himself all day. Everyone else was at thr awards show. So NO ONE had any preparation before getting there that night. Which makes this show just how talented these people actually were. They had ONE NIGHT to get this done without any prep whatsoever. I said this in my last comment. That you Netflix for proving me right. And after 39 years this coming out, my memory is still better than most people.

MJ is that one student in high school who always finishes the tests 45 minutes before anyone else does.
@Screaming Mimi's Not true, all the singers got a demo days before this recording session. They all had days to prepare.
@Screaming Mimi's
The fact is that the voice of the other artists is not as high as that of Michael, Diana, Lionel, S. Wonder, Tina Turner.
@Screaming Mimi's
Everyone had to sing only two verses.
I have noticed a cold attitude towards Diana and Michael from the other artists.
@Screaming Mimi's Oh, so they DID get the demo beforehand? It was a week, btw, not 2 days. But at least you acknowledge you lied in your hundreds of comments. So grow a spine and edit ALL the comments you made accordingly.

When Michael sings you can’t tell if it’s live or not. It’s so perfect
Exactly! 💯
That's why many people assume he is no lip sync everytimes

I love how consistent Michael's vocals are with each take. Same exact delivery. Amazing talent.
Welsh Dragon keep your filty thoughts to yourself yuk who the fuck says this things smh !! Sick perv
He dwarfs the other "talented" artists. There is no replacing that guy.
Because he’s lip-syncing to an earlier recorded track. You can see it play around 4:40
Right? He got there earlier and got his part done. But when He was putting his voice, and they would stop him to re-do it and I was like, re-do what? MJ is flawless but I guess people who worked with him, knew he was perfectionist.
It's a playback! It was pre-recorded.
How did Michael manage to be perfect on each take? He was like a tape recorder.
Probably harder to sing in unison with two others than alone.
@@scabab90 Good point.
Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie wrote it so those two would of been at it none stop then dragged in everyone else off their candy.
He's pitch perfect, it's actually difficult for him to sing out of tune
Insane. He’s a god
Watching this made me love love love Steve Perry! He was so spot on, so supportive, and just a talented artist amongst the most talented of artists! He really stood out to me!❤
I absolutely agree! Ingram did too!
He wasn't looking at the sheet like the rest, and every time he gave a different take. Made it look effortless. A real pro, great musician and indeed a stand out.
I couldn’t agree more!! It was so refreshing to see a true artist at work!
Huey is so professional, Kim is solid, Cyndi nailed her part fabulously, and MJ is just perfect every time.
What is Kim's last name?

Michael was like come on people it's not that hard
+CrazyMJGamer
He had the easy part. Lets not BS this.
watch his solo outtake it's over 10 min
Hahaha exactly
Well he still knocks it out of the park. I don't know why you are so insecure that you bash anyone who suggests Cyndi Lauper isn't the best vocalist of all time. I get being a fan, but anyone with ears knows she was an average singer.
Who? I've never heard anyone except you call her and outstanding elite singer. She's average at best and her voice sounds like a cartoon character.
Michael’s unimpressed face is killing me 😭😂😭😂
Michael is a perfectionist
The dude with the scratchy voice... Who the hell was he?
@@jazmynbrown6820 Huey Lewis.
rockstopsthetraffic He’s got a great voice, one of the best singers of the 80s
@@liamsayles8312 responding to the wrong person, I find his voice irreplaceable.
Steve Perry is so sweet and funny in this 😅
Cyndi é muito querida. E a parte dela é uma das mais marcantes da música! Ouço isso há 40 anos quase. Tão familiar!
3:12 Cindy Lauper: “Oh, my earings. Oh I’m sorry!”- She is so cute. :-D
*EaWings 😆
Là cái vòng cổ :))
so cute...
Love her New York accent.
I love Cyndi Lauper, I’d have her child!!!
The way cyndi talks just her whole swag is so raw
she was very unique back then
It’s pretentious annoying and she had a cat like voice. Her songs had good music but awful vocals
Raw??? In what way???
Russo Swerve It’s ok, she ruined her entire career that way - by the time of her third album in 1989, everybody had had enough
Russo Swerve she should have never had a solo part in this production.
Es sorprendente que todas las intervenciones de Cyndi Lauper siempre fueron afinadas y en el compas pero ninguna fue igual a la otra. Eso quiere decir que tiene una gran creatividad e improvisación. Una genio.
When Cyndi removes her jewellery like she’s wearing all the treasures from Tutankhamun’s tomb.
That's the rich stuff from One Eye Willy.
Time stamp?
She is a goonie.
She probably didn’t want to damage it or leave it in the way
10buffster CTFU 😂😂😂😂😂
The mention and removal of Cyndi’s jingly jewelry is one of the most memorable moments of this documentary. 😂 Love her.
sign543 Love her because she at some point in time removed her jewelry? Man your standards are not very high, are they.
Mytomanen bre it was her fun attitude and playfulness and how it wasn’t drama it was fun.
She has a wonderful personality, and nailed it on the 9th take!
@@mytomanen_breThat is not what he said. You are very annoying.
Cyndi is the energy these legendary men needed that early morning!
Maravilhosa Cyndi Lauper. O Brasil te ama! No Brasil foi a música mais tocada em 1985, eu tinha 15 anos❤
Essa musica foi um fenômeno aqui no Brasil
A true Masterclass watching these people working. THIS. IS. ART!!!
i love Cyndi personality, is like a child, she´s a down to earth artist, love her a lot
Anoying for me
when cyndi finally got it the way she wanted (@7:56).......she made her part UNFORGETTABLE ! ! ! !
Yassd
Bill Cenne she needs to leave the crack alone😂😂😂
she didn’t do crack, the only thing she liked was weed. She quit the real drugs at age 21.
@@GHOSTbirdnatureLOVER She's so relatable. 😂
The best part al least for me Billy
So much talent in one room and everyone is supporting each other.
99% MJ and 1% everyone else
The Bridge People, hahaha.... Cyndi was adorable and freaking NAILED it with the last take. So awesome and endearing!!
Cyndi is that friend everyone wants to have
or girlfriend
Soo cute indeed
She is sweet 😍
Cyndi was the wife I wanted to have
And the sister everyone deserves!
Micheal looks like he is just about ready to burst out and sing the whole song by himself 😂😂
And he could've too if he wanted. He had amazing range. I'm scratching my head here, listening to these other three struggle to sing one/two lines on key.
@@kexia5630 You try singing right after Michael Jackson. No pressure! Haha.
@@EnslaveTheWorld I'd sing a whole lot better than the "professionals" in this clip that sung after Michael. I'd at least be able to hold a note. Lol!
@@kexia5630 LMFAO YOU ARE A NOBODY SHUT UP
@@paradoxmeld2937 For a nobody I sure do have you bothered. Lol!
And the truth still stands: Those other folks in the clip couldn't sing a simple line or two on key. Not only that, some of them couldn't even sing on beat! How are they professional singers and can't even sing a few simple lines on key and on beat? Lmao!
That's just bad singing. Period.
And don't try to use MJ as a scapegoat. It doesn't matter if a singer's singing next to Michael Jackson or Roseanne Barr. If you're a so-called professional singer, you should be able to sing simple notes on beat with relative ease. Especially if you're singing in a group because the other voices naturally mask a bad note here and there.
That's why people who are picked to sing solos (like Michael Jackson in this clip) tend to be the best singers in the group. It's because when singing solos there's no other voices to hide behind. If a soloist sings a bad note (like Cyndi Lauper in this clip), it's more noticable.
And I don't even hate Cyndi or the others. I've heard them sing before and they sound alright in their specific genre at times.
But this clip just proves that there's a huge difference between "performers" and real, talented singers. This clip shows why MJ is the King of Pop.
My childhood crush Cyndi lauper😘♥️
I love Steve Perry in the background in the beginning just nailing the "one" note, lol, such a perfect voice.
Cyndi Lauper’s final ‘’yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah” riff is ICONIC!!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
It isn’t.
@@TalkingToAWallyes bitch, it is
Wow Great!
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
the amount of talent in that room was unprecedented.

Cyndi is so adorable ❤
Cyndi Lauper is memorable here❤
Michael Jackson is the student that does the extra credit even though he has an A+
Big Beefy Boy wrote the song as well
I didn't realize that Lino Ritchie took the making for this song so securely.
That's that Joe Jackson work ethic, lol.
Eu amo a Cindy♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
So does Cyndi Lauper!
Just look at those background people...Steve Perry, Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall, Lionel Richie...the talent in that room is scary!
True voices....true talent....no egos or autotune. What a great time to live in that era when music was music, pure raw talent and voices.
Maaaaaaan 👌🏾
Yeah. And not like today nicki Minaj, cardi b.... All untalented

kkkk

Kept waiting for Cindy to say, “is that ok, Mr J?” Sounds so much like Harley Quinn.
When is that
You're smart😁
She always sounds like Harley Quinn. I wonder if they based Harley Quinn's voice off of her.
I just looked it up and she actually was inspired by Cyndi Lauper.
What minute? hahaha
Cyndi was the beginning of being your own unique self. I have adored her in my day.
My fave vocals in this whole song. She was really unique and cute!!! Girls just wanna have fun, so classic!!! ❤
4:22
Michael be in the background like
"Why am I here again?" 😂
It's his song. XD
😂😂😂☠

He is prob unhappy cause there is no kids around.
@@StarWarsNerden i'm pretty sure he empty his balls before the recording
Cyndi's part has always been my favorite part of the song.
Her voice is just so amazing I love that high pitch😍
Me too!
tallcoolone09 me too
When this song came out and they played it in public -- everyone in earshot sang Cyndi's part out loud!
I agree she lets loose
Cyndi really is an amazing talent, all her takes were slightly different but each one was Gold, and when she nailed it, it was perfection. Really under appreciated in my opinion, one of my favorite voices of all time. Ah Ye ye yeah yeah yeahhhh
You could really hear how she developed her part. Every take was better than the previous one. In the final take her timing how she came in and the high notes at the end were perfect and give the track the energy that it needed.
Cindy was an absolute treasure
Cyndi's part turned out to be the one of the highlights in this song.
Absolutely. The perfect topper to the song.
Exactly. The best part of the song.
100% agreed. great to have seen the evolution of her part!
jun chan yes no doubts she is the best
Cyndi steals the song.
Cyndi is so adorable! And her voice is so strong!!!
Her singing voice is really awesome, but her talking voice is so damn silly
Love Cyndi 😍❤️
Cyndi Lauper is the perfect voice actor for harley quinn
Great contribution from Cindi Lauper
Michael's voice was so angelic, gosh!

Yeah! I adore her! I've loved her since she was in her band "Blue Angel" back in 1980. I have their one and only album. And not trying to be rude, but her name is spelled "Cyndi". 😊💖👍
what are you talking about? who hates her??
Her voice!!! She really talks like that???? I mean is that her natural voice???

Is an honor to see this and to know the dedication they all put together to give us the greatest song ever written ❤️

🤣👍
So?
He don't need training dude 👑
8:11 He stayed

This video is pure authenticity. A rare look into the candid-ness of a group of legends. Theres no way footage like this could ever exist of the artists of today as the music industry is too highly guarded in public image & promotion and many performances are tweaked to perfection without allowing us to see the work going into it. Even live concerts are staged.
This is so true and it really pains me
cyndi so so cute❤
1985: ok let's repeat it until we reach perfection
2019: it's ok we'll autotune it
I LOVE YOUR COMMENT! so true yes exactly what i was thinking
Yeah... and then 4:29 hits u hard, me too ;(
@Festini23 2.0 - yup, exactly
Its all gone. Welcome to this garbage new world. Id give anything to back to my childhood days as long as i would still end up with my current family.
thats it. aint techno great?
Cyndi stated in interviews that she didn't want to be rude and try and over power Kim Carnes and Hewy Lewis so she held back..when she did over power..it was pure magic!
No she just has tenitus
No
@DH then you don't know anything about good music.

This scene is pure gold, Michael and Lionel looking for perfection while Darryl Hall, Kenny Logins and Steve Perry try to help Huey Lewis, Kim Carnes and of course Cyndy Lauper, Only big names in music without auto tune. Love it.
Huey misogyny?

thank you. I didn't know their names (except michael jackson, lionel, steve perry and cyndi lauper). now i will go search their songs.

@@mikefekade12 Cyndi sounds fine, Huey was way off key.
@@exiles_dot_tv cyndi doesnt sound good lol. Man this is what u would consider good? Shame they put these karaoke singers with mike

He is a genius.Motown Factory
I also appreciated it 😊
Lionel co-wrote the song.
Ya... Lionel Ritchie 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So classy, oh boy, what a man
Shout out to Lionel Richie for making Cyndi more comfortable with herself. And for suggesting that they sing that last part in harmony. Excellent idea Lionel!
Oh and I'm glad the Netflix doc came out. It shows that no one received demos like some idiot lied and said they did. Michael looks disappointed, but thats because he didn't go to the AMAs that were going on. He was practicing by himself all day. Everyone else was at thr awards show. So NO ONE had any preparation before getting there that night.
Which makes this show just how talented these people actually were. They had ONE NIGHT to get this done without any prep whatsoever.
I said this in my last comment. That you Netflix for proving me right. And after 39 years this coming out, my memory is still better than most people.
Goosebumps watching her nail it ❤
