I Didn't Like It: We Are The World 2010

Those of you who tuned in before the Olympics Saturday probably caught the remake of Michael Jackson's We Are The World. The song was just supposed to make a bunch of money for Haiti, so I'll cut it a little slack, but seriously?  Justin Bieber got the first solo?  And really, Wyclef Jean?  You and the song lost all credibility as soon as that weird wailing came out of your mouth.  Yes, there were some good singers, but they all were brought down by autotuned Lil' Wayne, T-Pain, and Akon.  The part with Kanye and Will.i.am was sick, but by that point in the song I was already laughing too hard at Wyclef's THIRD solo and all the rappers yelling in unison (sounded like Kidz Bop).  We Are The World is a timeless classic which really didn't need to be remade. I'm sure no one will even remember this version in 6 months.  Next time, write a new song instead of doing a terrible cover of an classic.

Listen To This: Whatever U Want (G.O.O.D. Music Remix)

This is the just released remix of Consequence's Whatever U Want featuring nearly ever member of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label:  Kanye, Common, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Consequence, and John Legend.  The song acts as a sort of sampler of the talent Kanye has compiled under his label, and is definitely worth a listen.
