Somethings are just not meant to be changed

Let me start this post off by saying that with the remake of the We Are the World I hope that a ton of money is raised to aid the folks in Haiti. Now that I’ve got that out of the way, here’s how I feel about the remake: it bloody sucks. Yes, I said it.

So there I was last week with my telly blaring done the hall as I worked on the computer and then I heard the beginning strains of the “new” We Are The World and started thinking … hey, now that not’s so bad. Several seconds later, I regret that thought as I heard streaming from my telly what seemed to be mixed-mash cacophony of chaos passing for music. Seriously mates, it was horrid. It sounded like the bloody song mutated and had a bout of tourette’s. Dear, oh dear.

It is safe to say that it was a case of good intentions. Unfortunately, when folks decided to muck it up by adding their “uniqueness” to it (read: rap), well it sort of bollocksed it all up. The beauty of the original one was that it was smooth, seamless and everyone seemed to sing of one voice despite their musical backgrounds. In the new remake, it seemed like everyone wanted to do their own thing, and instead of We Are the World it came of sound like We Are The Tower of Babel. Sorry, the older version was pristine and masterfully done. I understand that this was done from the heart with good intentions and all that good stuff, but I am afraid that there are somethings under these blue skies that are not meant to be changed. Sorry.
