I know, so cheesy, but I'm a sucker for various artists singing together. I'm just a huge fan of diversity and many different things combined. Like in dance, I like it when you fuse hip-hop and ballet together or contemporary and ballroom, it just makes things so much more interesting. Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie got back together to get these artists in the same room to record this remake. With this song, there are all kinds of artists. You can hear all the different tones and sounds in one song. You can hear artists from Barbara Streisand to Kanye West, Tony Bennett to Mylie Cyrus, and even Adam Levine from Maroon 5 to Isaac Slade from the Fray. I just think it's amazing to hear all the changes in voices and to know all these people took the time to collaborate for a great cause.
Although I am obsessed with this song at the moment, there are a few things I'm not a huge fan of: Justin Bieber starts the song off. Um, you're a baby and you have one song. Really? Quincy and Lionel, what were you thinking? Also, I think it's cool that they incorporated the rappers in the song , like Will.i.am, LL Cool J, and T-Pain, but their rapping went on for, what I believe, is a tad bit too long. I think it's incredible that they brought back some people that are a step away from being on "Where are they now" though, like: Enrique Iglesias, Busta Rhymes, and Toni Braxton. For a song like this, I'm a little upset they didn't have powerhouses like Carrie Underwood, Mariah, or even Gaga (Have her take Justin Bieber or Nick Jonas's place. haha).
My highlights: Celine Dion and Josh Groban. In a song like this, their voices are so distinct that it just makes the song incredible. P!nk and Jennifer Hudson were also pretty fab.
Song's on repeat.
