We Are the World

The Olympics have brought the world together for a brief moment again, as happens every two years... and even though it's in the spirit of competition, it's always so positive. More stories of compassion come out of the Olympics than stories of hate. Always.

It's interesting to me that NBC used the opening ceremonies to premiere the new, updated version of "We Are the World" in order to benefit Haiti relief. It makes total sense when you think about it-- more people will be watching tv at that time than normal, so it stands to reason that more people will consider donating some cash.

It's an interesting cover... some rap, some Bieber... many faces I didn't recognize... and a highly enjoyable section by T-Pain.

They've created a charity single in the UK too... and quite frankly, I prefer it :)
