  • We Are The World 2010

    You had to think that this would happen eventually. But with the tragedy going on in Haiti, it probably couldn’t come at a better time.

    This news bit comes from The Hollywood Reporter.

    Reportedly, Quincy Jones and Lionel Richie are scheduled to do a sequel to We Are The World. It was originally scheduled to be a 25th anniversary project, but with the situation in Haiti, it’s now scheduled for the proceeds from the song (and video) to go to Haiti.

    So far, the artists who are scheduled to be included are Usher, Natalie Cole, and John Legend, but you can imagine that everyone and their mother is going to want to get on this, especially since it’s scheduled to be recorded after the Grammys.

    If only Michael Jackson was still alive to be a part of this. However, maybe somehow, his vocals from the original can still be used on the new song. Or maybe his brothers will be on the track.

    Here’s the original:

  • Jimmy Fallon, Randy Jackson, & The Roots Freak Pants On The Ground

    Last week, I linked you to General Larry Platt’s American Idol tryout where he sang the words, “Pants on the ground”. Now, as silly as the song was, it became somewhat of a viral phenomenon. My kids were singing it, their friends were singing it, and people were sending it all around Facebook and Twitter and singing it (to themselves).

    It’s now gone late night. While Conan, Jay, and Dave squabble like the spoiled millionaires that they are, Jimmy Fallon, Randy Jackson, and The Roots are doing their own rendition of Pants On The Ground.
