People have given mixed reviews on the “We Are the World” remake that aired during the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. Some love it, some hate it. Jay-Z spoke out against the song, saying that “it’s like Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, to me. I don’t ever want to see it touched”. I can understand that. Especially with all of the new additions to the song, including rap verses. The best thing about the entire process is the amount of money raised for the Haiti relief efforts.

What do you think? Did you like the remake, or did you think that they could have gone in a different direction?
