“Thanks?” — Haiti
Now, one could argue that the original (and the remake of) “We Are the World” used the powerful symbol of unlikely musicians and celebrities from across the spectrum gathered together in one room, and on one song, to signify humanity’s connectedness and the ways in which we come together in times of need to support and help each other. (Dan Aykroyd AND Kenny Loggins? In the same place? One love!) So there is something about 57 people alone in their rooms in front of their laptops that really sucks the energy out of the project. “We are all in this 2gether, but not 2gether, but 2gether, ykwim?” Also, there is a difference, for better or for worse, between celebrities who have a million dollars donating their time and “talent” and image to a benefit song, and 57 YouTube singers who would murder their best friend for some extra pageviews (as long as murdering your best friend didn’t require LEAVING THE HOUSE). But whatever. This is not a time for cynicism. I think that we can all come together and agree that this video is kind of weird but that their hearts were definitely in the right place. Probably.

“Watch my catastrophic video and comment.”–These guys.
I move away from the mic to breathe in…but for Haiti.
FAKE?
Retarded Fat AND gay as well.
And Marlon Jackson gets another rejection letter from an artist collaboration…
My favorite is the Newsboy who points to the camera and adds a “yeah yeah” after the line “when you’re down and out there seems no hope at all.” Yeah yeah!
i know this is wishful thinking, but i really want this comment to be a reference to 90s contemporary christian hit musical group The Newsboys.
57 Comments… 1 Post… 1 Cause
So, we’re commenting on a Song for Haiti thats a cover of a Song for Haiti that’s a cover of a Song that wasn’t for Haiti… for Haiti.
If the money doesn’t save them, the meta will
I am the only one that was expecting Tay Zonday, the numa numa kid, and perry gripp?
Hakuna Matata, kid. There’ll be another disaster in need of collaborative virality.
we are the net/ we are the youtube / a group of strangers exploiting tragedy for our 15 minutes …yeah yeah
i think whoopi goldberg does a really good job and i like her new glasses.
i think this whole project was just a cover to get that one guy involved, because they are staging an eyeglasses intervention.
Guy?
totally a dude.
all this in only 6 weeks? TCB, go-getters! Next up: flash mob fundraiser for Krakatoa survivors.
I waited that whole time for The Chocolate Rain kid to make an appearance, and then realized “wow, these people were serious about this.” Then I had overwhelming sense of pity.
Biiiiiiiiiiitch, pleez
So they’re going to donate their what, subscribers? Their comments? To Haiti?
It’s a choice they’re making. They’re apparently saving their own lives.
This is a scene from my own personal SAW sequel.
I questioned my belief in God after the earthquake in Haiti. After the first remake of “We Are The World” I was sure he didn’t exist. I have no idea what to think after watching this.
So this is where American Idol auditioners come from?
Everyone in this video is clearly a flawed human being who is on the wrong path in life. That said, I found it oddly moving!
Also: I HIGHLY respect the girl at 4:44 who knows you don’t need fancy sound equipment if you’ve got good down-home bathroom echo.
Oh wowee zowee, 4:29!! ZONGS!
THXN UTUBE
This video is fucking awesome.
Its tottaly the douchebaggiest think EVA!!!
Do they know that what happened on Haiti is actually a motherfucking catastrophy?
Why are they all smiling?
Why are they posing?
Is now the time to act good looging by dressing up, wearing all the gold you own start using the goddamn Magnum look and act passionate while wearring your hat sideways?
I think the best part of this is in the video description where lisalavie1 writes, “It took Iman A.K.A Alphacat 3 days to edit all of these videos and took me 2 days to edit all of these vocals.
It was a nightmare hehe but we worked it out!!!”
Hey, lisalavie1 gets it. No sacrifice is too big for Haiti hehe they’ll work it out.
