Why can't he come up w/ his own thing instead of trying to "remake" it. So stupid.  :P

Because this is the era of disposable music. people come in and "hit and quit". no real talent like they had in the 80s! :(

I bet he got the idea from Quincy Jones. ;D
I also wonder if Ray Charles was reading this. ;D

I know it's like impossible to be as good as the original song We Are The World,

But I'm a person that gives out his opinion before he ever heard the song, but after I'll listen to it then I can bash it,

Couldn't he just had asked Quincy Jones's permission before doing such a thing?  >:(

I heard Quincy Jones IS on the project. And there's this little girl who was on Opra that's also contributing her voice to the remake.  

I still prefer the classics though.

So,Quincy Jones actually helped Jermaine Dupri? Well,We'll have to hear what it sounds like when it comes out.  :P

absolutely NOTHING will beat the original !...some people hate it ..some love it !... to me it was one of the best songs put together
by such a large variety of artist's...that even today ..either by audio or video ..is still one of the most inspirational songs out.
and if you ask me...it beats the pants off " band aids - do they know it's chrismas try hard version ( should'nt say that...they meant well....).
but usually to me, these days, any re:make of an oldie in the running is bound to be a disaster,before even released....sorry, but im use too being majorly let down by the pathetic try hard, so called "talent " of today !
i'll lay $20 thats its a disaster !  ::)

"We Are The World" re-make should sound more of like a rap tune then the beginning version of WATW in 1984. ;D
