now, if you're anyone who has a heartbeat and keeps up with world news, music and pop culture, you've probably heard the 2010 version of 'We Are the World'.

It's powerful to see people of all musical genres come together for a united purpose. What was even more powerful was the inclusion of Micheal Jackson's vocals from the original version. It continues to show the love and passion that he had for helping others in need.

I was kind of caught off guard to see the inclusion of auto-tune and the lack of social-conscious MCs. I hate to say that auto-tune ruined the 2010 version of this song but i definitely think it could have gotten by without it. It would have been a nice touch to see artists like Dead Prez, Talib Kweli or Common be included in this version, people who create awareness of world issues. I guess it just goes to show the transition and growth that music has made over the years.

Its good for those who live in a world of pop-culture to see the people they follow, do something good for others. Hopefully this continues to spread the message around that giving and helping one another is the only way we'll make progress.
