The music community on Youtube is taking action to help Haiti. 57 artists of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds collaborated to produce a remake of Michael Jackson's "We Are The World", hoping to promote the "We Are The World Foundation" and get help for Haiti through music.
Instead of celebrities or famous singers, most of the artists participating in this video are amateur web singers. This, perhaps, is what makes the video so touching and beautiful. You don't see a glamorous music video starring pop singers from the mainstream music industry. What you see is ordinary people like you and me making their greatest effort to care for others. No dramas, no special effects, everything is kept real and simple. It may sound rather plain, yet it does what the celebrity version of the remake may not have achieved: It touches people. The video came out on 20/2 and it's already watched by 472668 people and has received a lot of positive comments. Tyra Banks, former model and the host of TV series "America's Next Top Model", also appreciates the video as she posted a tweet saying that the video made her cry and she was "Speechless because of beauty". Indeed, the video succeeded in showing the beauty of ordinary people from different backgrounds getting together and devoting their hearts to helping those in need. Let's hope the video gets more and more viewers so that the message of love and care can be spread around our planet.
