‘We Are The World’ Singers Didn’t Like Michael Jackson Tune
Billy Joel revealed in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone that he wasn’t a fan of Michael Jackson’s 1985 charity hit, ‘We Are The World’, even though the all-star track features Joel singing along with Bruce Springsteen, Lionel Richie, Tina Turner and others. “I remember most of us who were there didn’t like the song, but nobody would say so,” Joel admitted. “I think Cyndi Lauper leaned over to me and said, ‘It sounds like a Pepsi commercial.’ And I didn’t disagree.” Joel added that just as Jacko does now, the King of Pop was “constantly applying makeup.”

They are fu**ing crazy! (Lauper, Joel and the rest of the singers who agreed with them). If they didn’t like the tune, then why did they choose to be involved? I LOVED We Are the World. Such a powerful song. Such a good tune.
RIP Michael Jackson.

Micheal was, is and will be the best singer, entertainer of all times. The music We are the World is one of the greatest musics ever, for what it ment, for how it was made and for what it brougth to those who needed. I think that anyone that didn’t like it should be MAN or WOMAN enough to GET OUT. I think there is no need to remember how great Micheal Jackosn was, is and will be for ever!

Sounds to me like Billy Joel was jealous, as well as Lauper. If they didn’t like the song maybe they should have tried to do it better? They couldn’t do it better, they didn’t have as much talent in their whole bodies as MJ had in his little finger. Two no talent losers. It’s a beautiful song. One that sticks with you and keeps going around in your head for days.

They can hush. That was a powerful song and it was very well-received. If they didn’t like it, they should’ve left or written one themselves. They were jealous of how great Michael was. He was the best out of all them, along with Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and Bruce Springsteen. Screw them, go Michael! RIP!
