Wondering where some of your favorite artists were when the remake of We Are The World was being re-recorded? Well, some of them were on Team Cowell with the American Idol judge doing a charity version of R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts. This video is moving and heart-stirring in the most emotional of ways. The song features vocals from Leona Lewis, Jon Bon Jovi, Susan Boyle, Mariah Carey, Kylie Minogue, Michael Buble, James Blunt, Miley Cyrus. I read on MSNBC this morning that Cowell’s charity single is outselling We Are The World. Pardon me for not realizing it was a competition but if I must say so myself, even with it’s flaws We Are The World – 25 For Haiti is a better single. Watch tthe video below and I’d like to know your thoughts, which single do you prefer? Click here to purchase Everybody Hurts on iTunes and donate to Haiti.

We Are The World sounds more like a smorgasbord of oversized egos strutting their stuff than peddling a charity cause.”Everybody Hurts” spotty as it is at least makes me shed some croc tears.
