I LOVE Celine for Lauper here. I also love that we get the footage of Dion watching for her cues. Also shoutout to Orianthi the prodigy.

I love both versions, but the second one probably wouldn't exist without the first one :)

Original is my favorite has the legends . both for good cause and shows how awesome America is when we are united for common good of humanity

I am Haitian so i'm biased by liking the Haiti one more. rewatching this, I remembered what I felt hearing this song for the first time. I am proud to be haitian and with everything that's going on in haiti, this songs brings back chills to me.

I just played WE ARE THE WORLD for two of my grandkids maybe a month ago. Told them about the hands across America

I love them both but I have to say kudos to who put Haiti together there are a larger genera of musicians and singers and age groups that they both make me cry

I love both!!! I love how much Americans come together in times off need! WE NEED TO MAKE ONE FOR US TO COME BACK TOGETHER IN AMERICA AND WE REMEBER WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER! ALWAYS!

I knew you would love this

I think it’s great they made a golden era song renewed for Haiti’s I think that is great and amazing and why we stop at a song and don’t continue to do more in the eyes of the public I’ll never truly understand. But which version is incomparable. First is golden. The geniuses who made it and put it together can never be recreated. Phonically sound, perfect in harmony and lyrically genius is the first one. But love that Haitis is catching love. We should be doing this for all impoverished nations. All credit to Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson and Quincy “Q” Jones.

Your reaction was amazing. I grew up with the artists in the first one so I like that one 100 times more. The one for Haiti has some good moments but it seems more commercialized to me and I just prefer things old school! But having Michael in the new one was great because of all the people in both versions he still is the one who stands out to me as the one with the most raw talent.

It’s bad luck to take your tree down before New Year’s day!! I’m right there with ya. My tree is still up. I’m taking it down on Saturday!!

Just remember all those millions of dollars went over there to Haiti to help rebuild. It ended up in the pockets of the warlords which created the big military militia that took over Haiti so yeah let’s give more money to Haiti.

ya was good to see artists in 2010 come together and do a remix of the the 80s version,,, sad thing is the country is no where near as united as we were back then,,, was nice to see NIP in there as well as many actors was involved in this one,, Jeff Bridges, Vin Diesel , ect,,,

Ty for a positive start to this new year

Omg!! Thank u for doing it. Love you guys!!

Love them both. Both helped a lot of people 🙂

I love how they cut in clips of Michael. And you two probably relate to this version because you recognize more artists maybe. I'm old, so I knew 2/3 of this one, but everyone in the Africa version. Both are amazing & Quincy Jones told them all to leave their egos at the door, for both versions. The 'star' of this show was the benefit itself.

I love them both...they both give us the best of the best for our times

I really enjoyed watching this reaction with you!!!!

I love this song. Greetings from Brazil.

Just saw you did, gonna watch that next. ALWAYS makes me 😭

Both are chilling, Different era,actors,too,,❤❤❤❤❤

It always makes me laugh to look at just how different Bieber and Miley looked back then. Man, they were still kids. Young folks nowadays definitely wouldn't even recognize them.

I never heard of this but I enjoyed it as much as the 1st

Love them both 💕

As far as the tree ! You got till the 3rd lol . Great reaction!

I love you guys so very much ❤️ 💗 💛

at 11:29 there was a spirit orb going down from the top of the screen. i know that wasn't dust XD you guys might have a haunted house or a family visitor who passed.

I thought the original was better musically and connection to the song however this one was with more relevant artists today so it made it cool too.

Thank you guys so much. I've been waiting and asking for one of these. Hopefully you can do the Michael Jackson - Heal the World 1993 Superbowl Halftime Show.

It's not Kanye that's Akon 😂❤

Both ! I think MJ would be proud!

Love this they are famous diffent voices different types music. Come together for a common bond. # LOVE.

Looking good Jai.

i love both, each to their own generation...

I love both of them in their own ways. Im a bigger fan of the original group of artists, and I have a soft spot for East Africa (first one being for the famine in Ethiopia). Plus it’s the original. With this one I liked the expanded instrumentation… I love LOVE that they included the original film of Michael Jackson and then juxtaposed it with Janet. That actually made me cry the first time I saw this. I really enjoyed the rap pieces - I like rap anyway, it made the song longer so it wasn’t over so quickly 😆 and the lyrics specifically written for the earthquake in Haiti…. I liked the footage…. Featuring Wyclef Jean was beautiful!

Celine dion ❤

The original We are the world is even better !!!!

Yo I love the show

I don't think you can compare them. The original was perfect for that time and stood the test of time. To remake it in 2010 for Haiti, it makes sense to add something a little bit different or extra into it, to distinct it from the original. I think Michael would have approved and loved the 2010 version.

Lil Wayne is the only person they put the auto tune on. I thought that was Akon rather than Kanye! I think Kanye was in the red flannel shirt but I’ll trust y’all’s eyes over mine!! I somehow have never heard this. I loved it! I love how this is becoming tradition for helping others!!

1st of all... reactions are my jam & you guys (& frankensteins lab) are my top picks! Now, I want to say the 1st one so bad bc it IS the Original & 2 wouldn't be here without 1. But I can't do it! I just love the 2nd one so much! I just feel like the voices were better (which feels blasphemous just saying that) & the rap (all rappers I grew up on btw) added so much for me. I got WAY more excited than an adult should get over a video when I saw you all were reacting to this!

You should react to the spanish version of we are the world ; Somos el mundo! That version is great too! 😊

Beautiful

I would have said Africa bc I was 5 yo when it came out and I rewatched the (cough) VHS tape (cough) ON REPEAT. I was a nay sayer when Haiti came out bc I thought there’s no way they can top the OG! But now rewatching both there’s a HUGE appreciation for the two equally - so I’m with y’all and say BOTH!!!

I like both of them too..

I'm going to be completely honest, not negative, honest. I have to question the motives of quite a bit of the artists in this version. I know for a fact that a few artists snubbed it back in 85 due to the fact they couldn't check their egos at the door. They were trying to make it about them and not about the starving people dying in Africa. I see quite a few in there that were very big when it originally came out yet they didn't participate. Which leaves me to believe that they saw how monumental USA for Africa became staying top of the billboard charts for periods that were unprecedented. Every artist in the original were top of the charts artists at the time they did the song and they were good to just be in the background and the solos were small. LEGENDS! Paul Simon from Simon and Garfunkel, Diana Ross, Kenny Rogers, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, James Ingram, Bruce Springsteen, Dionne Warrick, Willie Nelson, Kenny Loggins (Footloose, Danger Zone, etc) Steve Perry (lead singer from Journey. It's un-American to not know Journey), Daryl Hall from Hall and Oats, Huey Lewis (he was definitely at his peak that year after doing the song Power of Love and Back in Time from the Back to the Future soundtrack), Bob Dylan, Waylon Jennings, Cyndi Lauper (Girls Just Want to Have Fun, also topping the charts), Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson (goes without saying) and Jermaine Jackson was there, The Pointer Sisters, Smoky Robinson, Lindsey Buckingham (from Fleetwood Mac), Sheila E, Bette Midler, etc.. they raised millions for the starvation problem in Africa. What was happening there wasn't due to a natural disaster it was just poverty and death. Had they made a video back then and showed children on the verge of death due to starvation and living in unimaginable conditions it would've ripped your soul apart to see while listening to these amazing artists sing that song. It can't be duplicated. Period! I can appreciate what they were doing for the people of Haiti but I also have a serious mistrust of these organizations today. They've never received any of what they should've had all monies gone straight to them but it didn't. Greed is horrible today. It doesn't feel genuine to me. I feel some of them are probably very serious about wanting to help the people of Haiti and I feel very strongly that there's quite a few with an agenda that had absolutely nothing to do with charity. They saw what the original became and kicked themselves for not participating. Prince was the worst! His ego was out of control.

I ❤️ them both

Try the one Canada 🇨🇦 did for Tahiti it another great song

That was Akon….The original is better imo, the talent can NEVER be replicated!!!

I love Haiti the we are the world the best.

I don't know how to take this... I love that they keep going back to Michael. But on the other side I'm thinking.. there's no one out today that can compare. Truly I just love the orignal.. Michael was still alive and it was EXCELLENCE.

I loved both but I think the original is a little better. 🤔

Y'all should react to "The night Osama Bin Laden was killed", but no the less keep grinding y'all are killing it

I'll always love the Africa version one better. But I do like this one also.

the guy in white shirt isnt kanye, It's AKON.

any artist you would want to see that were not in it? great view.. and have to agree with @Tracey Raffle - the second one might not exist without the first one.. so to me it goes to the original..

I remember this songs first broadcast on MTV in the early 80s it's about the AIDS pandemic in Africa. All the sale of this song went to benefit South Africa. This wasn't the original one. Get to the original with Michael Jackson Bob Dillon Paul Simon Cindy Lauper Peabo Bryson Donna Summers Kenny Rogers Stevie Wonder Bruce Springsteen and the real Legends of music. This version has nothing on the original version.

That was akon singing, not Kanye

i thought yall split for a second cause i seen her youtube
