Well I might as well throw my two pennies in...Some of you know how I feel about the remake of this song (I always thought it was a bad idea/they needed to make a new song/it kinda ticked me off) and my feelings are still the same. Now, since they went ahead and did this despite my disapproval, I will go ahead and critique it. Up until the bridge (you know... that part where suddenly everything changes and you actually feel something coming from this song, because somebody with burning passion coupled with undeniable talent starts singing? Yeah, you know the part.) this song sucked. After the bridge took off... it got better. I actually didn't mind the rap part and thought they went into it smoothly, but coming back into the chorus seemed a little awkward. I HATE the voice manipulation... but that's just a personal preference I guess, and yes I definitely have issues with a lot of the performers that were chosen for this remake. Many of them put my teeth on edge.I know everyone thinks this is a good thing because it will raise money for Haiti (I personally doubt it will bring in much, though) and that's great. But... like I said before, it seems like a heartless effort. And as far as I'm concerned, the heart is what makes the difference.
I agree with what you said 100%. Personally I hated it, and I don't think Michael would have backed it at all, from a musical perspective. The split screen with MJ and Janet looked so thrown together...Janet wasn't even in synch with him! Of course I'm glad they're raising money for Haiti, but they could have just wrote a new song. It made me mad to see Michael in there with most of these second-rate singers. I'm really upset they mangled one of my favourite songs.
I'm really sad to see some of the comments in this thread... You don't have to like the new version, but saying things like the song was ruined, it sucks, garbage, completely unacceptable, the song was murdered, a freakin mess, and shameful and sad goes a bit too far in my opinion. I see no reason to completely bash this song because it doesn't meet your expectations.Keep in mind that a whole group of new artists participated, 25 years later, and a lot of things artistically changed over the past 25 years. In order for the song to appeal to a new generation it had to be modernized. If that had not been one of the goals, they simply would have recorded the same old song again. That is what remakes and covers are about. The future, for a large part, lies in the hands of the new generation, don't forget that. Next to that, there was little time to record this remake. However, the main purpose of the remake is to raise money for Haiti. If you don't like the remake, fine, don't buy it, but please donate in another way and help these people.Please, stop bashing this song, because the idea behind it is loving, fantastic, warm and generous...
