  16. damn i just think you guys are trying to find things that are wrong with this one. it was straight to me besides the auto-tune. but let’s be real, if you guys didn’t like this, you wouldn’t like anybody’s new version of it.

  18. why do people act like this song in some way is a detriment to their life? its a charity song. like all y’all are bumpin the original in your car on the daily and hold it that sacred …

    OH, & nick j and adam levine = eargasm

    kaceeee;! said this on February 12th, 2010 at 9:52 pm

  22. yea i disagree this was actually dope for the most part. the autotune was kinda outta place since everyone else is singin natural, but it doesnt necessarily ruin the song. besides this is the 2010 version, and its a reflection of what modern music is today. the hip hop part was kinda whack but the kanye/will.i.am part was cool. some of em look insincerely overdramatic and Wyclef milkin this thing a little too much… but other than that this wasnt bad as you guys make it out to be.

    MOOSE said this on February 12th, 2010 at 9:53 pm

  23. LOL @ Nipsey Hussle randomly being in the back. This was for a great cause though so i’ll leave it alone but it’s definitely RAOF worthy.

    Musikfiend said this on February 12th, 2010 at 9:57 pm

  24. i really was a fan of the last song…idk if its my cynical nature or the rap parts, clef, or waynes singing but that shit had me laughing the whole time. that shit was crazy wack to me…idk..maybe its just me

    christhacameraman said this on February 12th, 2010 at 9:57 pm

  25. @MOOSE…maybe that what it is…this song shows how bad modern music is as a whole..the autotune..the wack rap..the overall phoniness in the message..the original felt from the heart, this felt like a cash in. but again, just me.

    christhacameraman said this on February 12th, 2010 at 9:59 pm

  26. I wanted to throw up.

    Adam Levin, Pink, And Jennifer Hudson (mostly) were there to save the day.

    I can’t believe I was trying to defend this shit. never again.

    Blackstarr. said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:01 pm

  27. What the fuck was nipsey hussle doing there, let alone all these other rappers. I thought the rapping was really not necessary and Lil Wayne and T-Pain’s parts seemed like a desperate plea for young people to listen and donate.

    I will commend the people have actual singing ability though, god knows the song needed every one of them.

    byahbyah said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:01 pm

    Blackstarr. said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:01 pm

  30. haha its not bad for what it was and had sum huge names in it but the whole “new flavor” was so unnecessary…is there anything wrong with just having them sing like ppl have been doing for millions of years them without adding an autotune and rapping part? come on now.. and i cant lie when i saw Justin Bieber at the start i just started laughing.. but i guess he belongs in this too…

    Big_E said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:03 pm

  31. i see why jay and bey turned quicny down.. this sum bull!

    locohunt said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:07 pm

  32. yea i pretty much agree with what MOOSE said, this was overall not that bad besides those random moments with the hip-hop part, but i felt like that kanye/will.i.am part cleaned that up so for the most part it was cool. as long as its for a good cause then it shouldnt even matter how it sounds

    nipsey standin in the background not even mouthin the words or anythin was pretty funny though

    burd said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:08 pm

  33. Yeah…the Justin Beiber-starting-the-song-thing was “wtf” worthy, but the people who actually had SINGING parts, they did kinda well actually. Wyclef definitely benefitted from being Haitian, but he went OVERLY over the top. But as for the rappin in unison part, it was real random…it sounded like a project ass hood church chior lol; Kanye and Will.i.am saved it tho. But it wasn’t as bad as some of yall are makin it. Pretty damn good singing wise

    214Reppin said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:15 pm

  34. where was Nipsey? I thought he was part of this

  38. So would everyone appreciate it more if all of those people were not in it. Man we live in sad times if you can’t appreciate a good cause. These are the most popular artist in the industry trying to raise more awareness and show that they care and this is a terrible tragedy that occurred in Haiti. Stop criticizing every little aspect. People are always judging people and thats what’s wrong with the world today, thats why we are in this place cause everything is a competition. But sometimes we have to sit back and realize some things are done for the cause, not for the listeners to bitch about way they sung the song. It’s the cause….. PLEASE DONATE TO HAITI…… and just to think 2dopeboyz was like a socially conscious hip-hop website….. naw it aint any different than any other website with hatin ass people…. listen to michel’s message.

  41. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s for a good cause and all (even though the same people asking people to donate for Haiti aren’t doing shit for the people struggling in America), but SMH @ all these damn artists people who are unable to come up with a fresh, original track of their own.

    This was worse than I thought it would be.

    ahkidagreat said this on February 12th, 2010 at 10:57 pm

  43. Let’s leave Bieber alone. He wasn’t that bad. But, still MJ is rolling in his grave…

    Jamie Foxx channeling Ray Charles? Fail.
    Akon, Wayne, and T-Pain (who actually CAN sing a bit) using Auto-tune? Fail.
    Wyclef is NOT Bob Marley. Fail.
    The rap section? Great inclusion, but… Fail.

    Pink, JHud, Pussycat Doll, Celine… all sounded great. I was open to this one blowing the old one away, but I”m sorry… too much fuckery.

    Nous said this on February 12th, 2010 at 11:09 pm

  44. yeah i’m starting to get what you guys are saying now. fuck this wack shit man! all music sucks ass and the mainstream is shit! everything about this song is garbage and why would quincy even think of this dumb shit again? wow they should all kill themselves. I finally get it.

    Vontae-Koolin said this on February 12th, 2010 at 11:13 pm

  45. the only part that sucks is wyclefs he sound wack as fuck i know its where he’s from and stuff but why ruin a song like that?

    Over2 said this on February 12th, 2010 at 11:22 pm

  46. I agree with Meka. I cant take this shit seriously. Its kinda ridiculus. like ‘OK, another tragedy, lets get together do this song and itll be all good’ fuk tht. YO! u wanna make a difference?? y dont u do a REAL album and donate all the profits to Haiti, not this we are the world shit. I cracked up wen i saw Wayne in it. AND WYCLEF IS ANNOYING IN THIS

    David said this on February 12th, 2010 at 11:26 pm

  47. No disrespect to anyone suffering in Haiti, God bless them, but… this is crazy wack!! This is a mockery of real relief efforts, and what makes it worse, hip hop is dissed HARD in this jawn…Auto-tune?? really?? SMH
    Wyclef is corny.
    All the hip hop artists involved with this trash only want that hollywood attention… This is ignorance beyond words.
    PEACE

  57. AUTOTUNE is ruining hiphop, its ruining music all together…Nippsy throwin gang signs to a song about peace and togetherness. What the fuck is that. I can’t believe this bullshit. I want to smash something everytime someone uses AUTOTUNE. Its not cool and everyone makes fun of that shit.

    daveg said this on February 13th, 2010 at 12:37 am

  58. Its probably morally wrong to say this is wack, but this is WWWAAACCCKKK.

    Auto-tune, honestly?

    John Q said this on February 13th, 2010 at 1:29 am

  59. watched again, I think it is simply too long, just cut off from 4:50 – 6:45 (approx, autotune shit, Lil Wayne, Akon, T-Pain and rapping) then Kanye is a good ending

    mmm said this on February 13th, 2010 at 2:01 am

  60. 1985 version FTW hands down… New version would’ve been fine without the corny ass rap interlude, autotune, & worst of all wyclef with his wannabe bob marley ass.

    WheelchairJimmy said this on February 13th, 2010 at 4:45 am

  67. WHAT THE FUCK WAS UP WITH THE AUTOTUNE? Lil` Wayne could`ve just sung in the background,T-Pain cant actually sing without it,and Akon? SMFH. The song was bearable until then. Yes,it is for a great cause,but c`mon son!

    Dj ILL One said this on February 13th, 2010 at 5:51 am

  68. Clef went a bit OD on this. The T-Pain thing was wack… But everything else seemed pretty good. It’s not as bad as some of you are making it out to be. It is actually quite decent. I think it was heartfelt but a bit too OD on the emotional side of things. Some of the singers really did a good job tho… Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine, Mary Mary, Mary J., Pink, Toni Braxton and Celine Dion def get honorable mention. The rappers, Kanye did his thing fo sho and Wayne wasnt as bad as i xpected. The LL/mash up verse = ass. They should have gotten Jay, after all wasn’t he even supposed to be on this? And whats up w/ Nipsey Hussle throwing up gang signs on a tribute song?! – FAIL

    Also am tryna figure out how come Nicole had the most face time on this thing? This aint the Pussycat Dolls nigga.

    Sencere said this on February 13th, 2010 at 6:20 am

  69. kanye’s part was good
    oh and adam leviene was the best hands down

    Jabari Manwarring said this on February 13th, 2010 at 6:40 am

  70. 90% of you all couldnt even name 10 of the singers on the original version that you’re pretending they’ve disgraced.

    and wyclef has sung like that on every single one of his reggae infused joints of his entire career. so if you’re surprised by that, there’s a whole other issue goin on.

    but fuck that. let’s get everyone in the c-section to join in on a charity song shittin on every other charity song out there. y’all wouldn’t like this no matter how it came out.

    idontgetit said this on February 13th, 2010 at 6:51 am

  71. Good intentions, but wtf was that? Who were most of those people? Michael Jackson was still the best part of that song. Why didn’t they come up with an original song instead of doing a shitty rehash? Imjussayin

    5FingerDiscount said this on February 13th, 2010 at 7:04 am

  72. @idontgetit
    I saying the same thing, Clef is dramatic in a lot of performances… It was to raise intrest and i agree with you 100%

    Curtis75Black said this on February 13th, 2010 at 9:07 am

  77. I thought it was pretty dope. I don’t think T-pain should have been in it. Wyclef didn’t seem bad, thats his style. Josh Groban is pretty badass.
