Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) “We Are The World 25 For Haiti”, in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.
Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.

@MrsJapan4eva I was being generous when I used the word “talent.” I just think it’s a lot of posturing and back-patting with these celebrities. If these people are so concerned about Haiti, let’s see them start emptying their bank accounts for the relief effort, or better yet, put them all on a plane and fly them over there. Heaven forbid they should do more than just re-record a song that wasn’t so great the first time around. Is Africa any better off now because of that song?

am anfang nach justin bieber da ist so ein mädchen die sieht aus wie aliaa die tot ist bitte antworten ???
TheChaya01 says
everyone watches this sees the big stars like bieber saying this is auto tuned and stupid well that’s your point of view maybe you should watch the other singers that do not use auto tune and their unique voices. Focus on the positive not on what you think is the negative. P.S. I personally don’t like bieber but MANY people like him so they use all types of different artist’s to appeal to MANY different people.

The song was perfect until they used auto tune.

The person who wrote that Haiti brought the earthquake on themselves bc they were busy practicing voodoo and not praising our lord Jesus is going to burn in hell… Pretty sure that in the Christian religion it says that the LORD will come again to judge the living and the dead- not you. And to have that cynical and horrible outlook on things is evil and for that you brought your own eternity in hell on yourself!
MYSTERYflies says
who cares if it’ autotuned or who’s in it..don’t you hear the song.the message..
MYSTERYflies says
if it’s
katiemj4eva says
Furthermore everyone should stop giving their opinion on who’s in the song or how its done… And try (although your small/closed minded) to understand what the song is really about – helping kindness care togetherness courage etc etc. The ppl in Haiti are not bitching about this kind of stuff they are trying not to die- and some of u are sitting at ur comp spreading nothing but negativity. Try and see the good in things. Seems as though the wrong ppl were killed in that disaster.

Why are people so hateful? This video has SUCH a positive message. Why can’t you see that? All of these people put their interviews, tours, concerts aside to record a song to help the people of haiti. How can you hate that? It shouldn’t matter who did it better, that’s not what this should be about. There have been so many suicides lately because of hate and bullying, I wish people could respect and love each other. The world would be such a better place to live.
