Celine participates in "We Are The World 25" song for Haiti

[JessCC]

I'm pretty sure they'll find some way to compensate.... Judging from the other pics, Miley and Pink got solos too? I can stand Pink (especially after her AMAZING Grammy performance ) but Miley?

[Matias]

I wonder if that kid Justin Bieber or whatever he is called, like if I care....realized how freaking lucky he was, there is a pic where he is in the middle of Celine and Barbra...Gosh!

He does, but he likes to "act" cool like nothing bothers him. Like a typical 15 year old

His hear bugs me. If I ever see him, I'm gonna give him a comb and show him how to use it in the right direction

He's a huge Celine Dion fan and believe me he stood next to her for a reason he knew must news channels would zoom up on Celine and Barbara since they were 2 of the biggest names there

[celine_rox]

i think with all this buzz she should make a new record

 

or maybe release a concert-movie!

 

yeah there's that too hahaha

[Celine=Love]

I guess I'm going to be the only opposition voice to this but here goes:

 

I am sorely disappointed in Celine right now. I love her for her kindness, her loving heart, her generosity for those in terrible times, but to associate herself with such slime as Lionel Ritchie and Lil Wayne, for a recording that would only desecrate the memory of one of her idols?

 

Lionel Ritchie made a FOOL of himself at the Grammies in the eyes of Michael Jackson fans that know his history. Apparently Lionel's cut of the original song's royalties got caught up in some chicanery of the shady members of Michael financial team, and now that Michael's dead, he's trying to get back on the gravy train.

 

Lil Wayne? Who's idea was to invite this piece of filth that openly mocked MJ as a homosexual?

 

Not only that. Michael Jackson wrote We Are The World for a purpose - the starving in Africa. Yet again, anyone that has an understanding of what Michael Jackson was all about would KNOW that MJ would've written a new song for Haiti.

 

Now we have Quincy Jones on record as making some ridiculous statement that Michael didn't want to be black.

 

I have a hard time believing that Celine has been sheltered so completely from all this garbage. I have a hard time believing that she could be so blind as to not see that Michael's vision of this song doesn't apply here. I have a hard time that Rene couldn't see this and would allow Celine to sully herself this way.

 

I hate Sony and AEG. Their executives are the scum of the earth, and I keep wondering how long it will be before they wind up destroying Celine as well. I detest that Celine is contracted with them, and I pray to the good Lord every day that Rene or Celine will see the light someday soon and find credible people to deal with, before almost 30 years in the industry is a tarnished memory.

I thought we would have seen a photo of Celine and Barbra together!

 

 

An insider close to the action said that Celine and Barbra were set to take some photos together... but then Barbra got the "flu" and raging diahrrea.

[celínico_sin_remedio]

I'm so happy now that Céline's everywhere I could actually cry.

She is a sweetheart, and is the best singer in the world indeed. I agree with TMZ on that last one.

 

Of course now the centre of attention and main point is helping Haiti... so where will be able to get the song from? I guess iTunes... but if this is released as a single I want to actually buy it, phisically. Wouldn't it be fantabulous?

 

And I hope that part showing on YT is NOT the final cut, 'cos I agree with some of you that she sounded a bit like her voice was about to crash at one point, we know she can do it better!

[stevethefan]

Why is Vince Vaughn there? Does he have secret singing talents we are not aware of?

[CynthiaTDL]

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!

 

 

Go to Wire Images they have all the photos

Single We Are The World opgenomen

AMSTERDAM - Meer dan 75 grote sterren verzamelden zich maandag in Hollywood om de benefietsingle We Are The World voor Haïti op te nemen.

© ANPOnder de vrijwilligers waren onder anderen Pink, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, Bono en Barbara Streisand. De aanwezigheid van zo veel sterren in een ruimte leverde bijzondere taferelen op.

 

Barbara Streisand deed haar divareputatie eer aan. De zangeres nam uitgebreid de tijd om haar solostuk perfect op de band te krijgen.

 

Rapper Lil Wayne kreeg de schrik van zijn leven toen bleek dat hij was ingeroosterd als zanger. "Ben je gek geworden?", reageerde hij. "Ik weet niet hoe je moet zingen."

 

Quincy Jones

 

De benefietsingle wordt geproduceerd door Quincy Jones, die We Are The World 25 jaar geleden ook al opnam voor het goede doel.

 

De opnames vonden maandag plaats in de Henson Recording Studios, dezelfde studio als toen. Het nummer werd geschreven door Michael Jackson en Lionel Richie, die er dit keer ook bij was.

We Are The World

Het was maandag druk in de studio voor de opname van de remake van We Are The World voor de slachtoffers van de zware aardbeving in Haïti.

Celine seems to be riding a wave of positive press lately...she's on the ball

[carmGel55]

i read this particular article saying that celine is part of the first version of the great song. i never knew it. i was shocked and confused. i made a lil' research on wikipedia but the first version doesn't mention celine at all.

 

the article reads:

 

"It was a very awkward feeling to sing this song without Michael, to be honest," Celine said. “But it is an amazing opportunity to recreate what we did 25 years ago.”

 

this is the link:

unless the article posits incorrect info.

[popstar60]

Be serious! Celine was only 17 in 1985 and was totally unknown in English-speaking countries! How could she have been part of the original cast for We are the world????
