[iloveceline22]

just saw Celine on channel 5! ahh she looks awesome! she was the only one who stopped and answered questions! she basically said, " we shud love our planet, and help...you dont even need to think about it, just do it"...things like that...i cant remember the rest! once again she was so sweet and adorable! cant wait to listen to the recording, and hopefully see some videos from inside the recording studio--that would be awesome! yayy I'm so exciteddd!

[celínico_sin_remedio]

What a great news! So Céline is finally there! Do you know if they're recording right now? It would be a big treat to have a video from the recording sessions, like we had one for the original song.

 

And I expect they give Céline at least three or four lines too... If she only does chorus, I'd be slightly dissapointed. But it's wonderful to have her there tho.

From E!

Any which way you look at it, if "We Are the World" was going to be redone, there was no better time than now.

 

Not only is it the 25th anniversary of the seminal all-star recording, but now all the proceeds from sales of the single and eventual music video are going to Haiti earthquake relief. And it's another chance to honor the late Michael Jackson, who cowrote and produced the original with Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones back in 1985.

 

"Excited to be here," Jennifer Hudson, fresh from last night's Grammy tribute to MJ, stopped to tell E! News this afternoon on her way into the Jim Henson Co.'s recording complex in Los Angeles.

 

"It was a very awkward feeling, to be honest," Céline Dion said, referring singing Jackson's "Earth Song" without him. But she was delighted about the "amazing opportunity" to recreate what Jackson, Richie, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, Paul Simon and fellow artists did 25 years ago.

 

Also spotted today:

 

Kanye West, Tony Bennett, Beach Boy Brian Wilson, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx, Jeff Bridges, LL Cool J, lucky 15-year-old Justin Bieber, producer Sean Garrett, Wyclef Jean, Jason Mraz, Enrique Iglesias, Vince Vaughn (not yet entirely sure of his role), Robin Thicke, Akon, Enrique Iglesias, Will.i.am, Reba McEntire, Brandy, Josh Groban, Rob Thomas, T-Pain and the Zac Brown Band.

 

And heard, from the street, none other than Barbra Streisand.

 

"I'm honored Q [Quincy Jones] asked me to be a part of it and I hope people enjoy it," LL Cool J told E! outside.

 

And from MSNBC.com:

LOS ANGELES - More than 75 mega-stars gathered Monday to re-record the 1985 charity anthem "We are the World" in the same Hollywood recording studio where the original was cut 25 years ago.

 

Pink, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Tony Bennett, Jennifer Hudson, Akon and other musical luminaries stood shoulder to shoulder on risers at Henson Recording studios, singing their hearts out and hoping to help Haiti.

 

Quincy Jones, who produced the 1985 anthem, announced last week that he planned to redo the song to benefit recovery from the deadly Jan. 12 earthquake in Port-au-Prince.

 

Written by Michael Jackson and Richie, the original "We Are the World" thundered up the charts when it was released on the radio and in record stores in March 1985.

 

An unprecedented number of top pop musicians gathered at A&M the night of Jan. 28, 1985, following the American Music Awards, to record the tune. The song featured 45 American superstars, including Jackson, Richie, Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, Ray Charles, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Bob Dylan and Cyndi Lauper.

 

The record raised more than $30 million for USA for Africa, a nonprofit organization founded by the singers to fund hunger relief in African nations.

 

True to her diva reputation, Barbra Streisand recorded her solo over and over, completely absorbed in the recording process and stopping only to correct her pitch.

 

While reporters watched a video feed of the session in a nearby room, stars like Kayne West mingled outside with friends, greeting his buddy, Snoop Dogg with a hug.

 

Julianne Hough from "Dancing with the Stars," who is also a country singer, was only 3 years old when the original tune came out. She said she felt honored to lend her voice to the effort and sing next to so many talented musicians.

 

"It's just iconic. Celine (Dion) is just so gracious and amazing and such a pro," she said.

 

The session was all the talk at Sunday night's Grammy festivities. Music producer RedOne said being asked to participate was "the biggest honor a musician can ever do."

 

"Having Quincy, our father of music ... and Lionel Richie asking me to contribute and help, I said of course, because this is not about me," he said. "It's about Haiti."
