Ronny83 Posted January 28, 2010 at 03:18 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 03:18 PM ‘We Are the World 25′: Elton, Wycef, Celine, Gladys, ArethaBy: Roger Friedman // Thursday January 28, 2010 “We Are the World 25″ is a ‘go’ for Monday, February 1st at the Nokia Theater. After checking with lots of stars, and accepting calls from “just about everyone,” Quincy Jones and AEG Live’s Randy Phillips are putting the finishing touches on the big recording session. Among the names I’ve heard so far: Elton John, Celine Dion, Wyclef Jean, Gladys Knight, and possibly Aretha Franklin will join a huge number of younger stars. Some of the stars from Quincy Jones’s upcoming album, “Soul Bossa Nostra,” may join in as well. They would include Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Akon, Bebe Winans, Usher, Robin Thicke, LL Cool J, and Tevin Campbell. As I told you yesterday, Paul Haggis will film the proceedings. What’s still being finalized is where all the money will go; that should be announced by Friday. When the original “We Are the World” was recorded in 1985, the money was funneled through its own organization. This time, however, raised funds will be sent through an established foundation. Originally there was a sketchy plan to re-record “We Are the World.” But when the Haiti earthquake occurred, Quincy Jones realized there was a larger purpose for the reunion. And this is really Quincy Jones’s week. The famed and legendary producer/composer has just designed a watch named the Quincy for Audemars Piguet. It’s really a beauty, too. You can see it at http://www.quincyjones.com/. Maybe Q will design a Swatch next!http://showbiz411.blogs.thr.com/2010/01/28...-gladys-aretha/ Quote The Celine Dion Italian fanbase - CelineDionItalia.com

celinefanonline Posted January 28, 2010 at 03:30 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 03:30 PM great to hear can't wait to listen Quote Courage don't you dare fail me now!
PatrickDion22 Posted January 28, 2010 at 03:58 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 03:58 PM That's wonderful! It's great that Celine's getting involved again. 2010 is shaping up to be one heck of a year! Just one thing, are there any other sources for this news? I am the type of person that values reputable sources. I'm not saying that she isn't participating in this, but judging from the source (which is an online column), I would just rather have an article that can be a bit more reliable. Hopefully she is participating though! Quote Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/patjsully
Selina286 Posted January 28, 2010 at 04:00 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 04:00 PM The chances of Celine doing a new album and singing at the olympics just gets higher! Quote

I feel old too!! But, this forum always makes me feel old when I see posters who were born in the mid to late 90's!! I cannot WAIT for this!! When they first announced it, Celine wasn't mentioned.. So this is excellent news!!! Quote Bryan Beavers | Create Your Badgehttp://badge.facebook.com/badge/577905483.228.1040373769.pnghttp://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o84/nafnoid23/Untitled-2.jpg

VinnyT. Posted January 28, 2010 at 08:54 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 08:54 PM Access Hollywood posted: LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Kanye West will have the chance to let Taylor Swift finish on Monday. A source has exclusively confirmed to Access Hollywood that the two musicians – who faced off in an infamous incident at last year’s MTV Video Music Awards — will be among those participating in Quincy Jones’ remake of the 1985 charity anthem, “We Are The World,” at a recording session the day after the Grammys. Celine Dion, Wyclef Jean, Miley Cyrus and Sugarland will also join the all-star production, the source told Access. Quincy, himself, recently spoke out on the re-recording to E! Online, stating, “It’s the 25th anniversary and it’s perfect timing…It’s not an accident, man. That’s God. It will be ‘We Are The World’ for Haiti.” The 1985 track, recorded to provide humanitarian aid to Africa, was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie and also featured performances by the likes of Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Tina Turner and Diana Ross, among others. The news of a possible remake was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter’s Showbiz 411 earlier this month. According to E!, other potential performers on the track include Jennifer Hudson, Will Smith, Jason Mraz, Sheryl Crow, Mya and Justin Bieber, though Quincy said it’s still in the works. “I want to get a final list before I put it out,” Quincy said. And with Michael Jackson in mind, Quincy told the site he plans to discuss his relationship with the late King of Pop in a CNN special, though he is not participating in the planned Grammy tribute to the singer. A number of musicians have contributed to Haiti relief already, with the “Hope For Haiti Now” digital album hitting No. 1 on the Billboard charts this week – the first digital-only compilation to do so.

Peppercorn1991 Posted January 28, 2010 at 09:31 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 09:31 PM Here is a link for the original version of the song, for people who are interested in listening to the song to see if you like it, or can guess which part celine will sing. its ussully a long high note celine is given, as she is the only one with the most power. i really like it. if this is done right, this could be a great song remake! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzw6GiqZyD0 kev Quote
Peppercorn1991 Posted January 28, 2010 at 09:37 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 09:37 PM Has anyone else ever noticed, that when there is a list of artists, they always put our celine first as if she has some great importance over the others! its great Quote
Céline's Blues Posted January 28, 2010 at 10:09 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 10:09 PM She will participate and then they will take the info down from the website" Quote http://i.imgur.com/dmreJ.jpg
brunodias_111 Posted January 28, 2010 at 10:41 PM Posted January 28, 2010 at 10:41 PM Great! If Celine really takes part in this project, I will be very proud of her! (Even more that I am now. heheheheh) Quote

stevo Posted January 29, 2010 at 12:58 AM Posted January 29, 2010 at 12:58 AM She worked with Quincy on I Knew I loved You didn't she? He was really impressed with her, if I remember the interviews correctly. He probably requested that she signed up Quote
carmGel55 Posted January 29, 2010 at 01:03 AM Posted January 29, 2010 at 01:03 AM AWESOME!!! i always love this song. and from the very start i heard the humor that it's going to be re-recorded, i wish celine would participate and i knew she would because it's for a cause. i think celine's part/line will have a high and power vocal sense (as she naturally has ) i guess it's gonna be cyndy lauper's part perhaps -but she should put a killing twists on it! can't wait to see and listen to it!!!

davidjag79 Posted January 29, 2010 at 01:17 AM Posted January 29, 2010 at 01:17 AM I just watched E! News and they had a segment on the remake of We Are The World.... They did not acknoledge Celine.....They only mentioned young stars Miley ect.. Seriously? Well Celine's talent speaks for itself!! I am so excited and proud she is a part of this project!! I don't care if she isn't mentioned with the "teeny stars" or what is considered "popular" or "mainstream" : b J'adore Celine!! =) Quote I have waited for so long...for a miracle to come, A New Day Has Come!! http://i49.tinypic.com/1q1q4i.jpg
