Charity Fatigue or Just A Bad Cover Version.......?
We Are The World 25 has failed to knock Kesha from the top spot in the Billboard Hot 100 chart.Given the amount of publicity the single has had- it premiered at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics,and the reason it was re-recorded,i'd have thought it would have been a certainty to take the number 1 spot,especially since Kesha has been at number 1 for the past 8 weeks.
Are folk no longer interested in the Haitian earthquake,or is it due to the single being terrible?

You can't mess with a classic. I think its timing is poor, given all the money and energy donated to Haiti already (although, God knows, they still need it flowing in) but, mostly, the re-make, particularly the video, just had nothing that jumped out at you and grabbed your attention other than Wyclef Jean's odd screaming/wailing and the poor attempts at rapping. I know they were just trying to update it but it just didn't work.

Haiti charity is good news to get in to the lime light and earn glory for 15 minutes

I think people had already donated to Haiti appeals - took them too long to get it out, same applies to the English Haiti charity single (everybody hurts) also,they are really bad!

I know all the words, have done for years. There will be a lot more like me who simply don't need to buy this - nor want to, it's not very good i'm afraid and i doubt if it's appealing to younger people either.
