Modern "We Are the World" FAIL: Who I think should GO

We Are the World FAIL: Some of yall do not fit in this song that Michael wrote....you butchered it:

Instead of Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper and the late Michael Jackson (whose previously recorded voice, however, will be heard on the tune), the 2010 version will be headlined by Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Wyclef Jean, Josh Groban and Will.I.Am. It features a newly penned hip-hop break written by the Black Eyed Peas leader that makes reference to the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, the victims of which will benefit from the song's proceeds.

Among the rap artists making the cut for "We Are the World — 25 for Haiti" are T-Pain, Kanye West, Bizzy Bone (YES), Kid Cudi, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Drake (SAY WHAT?), Mann, Nipsey Hussle, Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz. (I'm only feelin Bizzy 100% here)

And though rumored participants such as Lady Gaga (WTF), Beyoncé (NO), Taylor Swift (NO), Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake (SORRY) were not in attendance, the sessions did feature a number of current stars such as Miley Cyrus (WTF), Keri Hilson (WTF NO) and Best New Artist Grammy winner Zac Brown (WHO?).

There were the requisite classic artists who pitched in, including Barbra Streisand (ON THE FENCE...); Carlos Santana (ON THE FENCE); Natalie Cole (ALRIGHT); BeBe Winans (THATS COOL); the members of Heart (OK); Freda Payne (OK); Harry Connick Jr. (WTFF NO); Earth, Wind & Fire (HMMM); the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson and Al Jardine (OK); Tony Bennett (WHY NOT); "Slumdog Millionaire" film score composer A.R. Rahman (DUNNO); "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson (HMM); Patti Austin; Celine Dion and Gladys Knight (YESS). A few actors were in the studio (Jeff Bridges and Vince Vaughn), as well as the offspring of co-producers Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones, Nicole Richie (HUH??) and "Parks and Recreation" star Rashida Jones (GOIN TOO FAR), and the members of 3T (the sons of Tito Jackson)(COOL), Taj, Taryll and TJ Jackson.

Joel and Benji Madden were on hand (NO), as were Akon (KNOW HIS STORY SO OK), Brandy (NO), Melanie Fiona, Mya (NO), Musiq Soulchild (UHH), Katharine McPhee (NO), Trey Songz (HMMM), Faith Evans (YEA), "Heroes" actor Jimmy Jean-Louis ("the Haitian") and former Michael Jackson guitarist Orianthi (OF COURSE).

Also pitching in according to a press statement from organizers were the members of Sugarland (WHAA?), Jennifer Hudson (UH UH), Jason Mraz (NO), India.Arie (OK), Mary Mary (COOL), Tyrese Gibson (UHHH), Raphael Saadiq, Pink (???), Jordin Sparks (WOW), Rob Thomas (JOKING??), Usher (YEA), the Fray's Isaac Slade (NO), child prodigy pianist Ethan Bortnick (YES), Enrique Iglesias (WHAAT), Robin Thicke (LAWD...), Jamie Foxx (NO), Maroon 5's Adam Levine (HELL NO), the Jonas Brothers (NO), Nicole Scherzinger (HELL NO) and Julianne Hough (NO).

Co-producer Richie said that Janet Jackson would be laying down her version of Michael Jackson's part on Tuesday (THANK GOD), and he hinted that some other artists might also be added over the next few days.

NEXT REMIX WILL INVOLVE RANDOM HOOKERS AND CRACKHEADS PICKED UP OFF THE STREETS. HOW WOULD I DO IT? BIZZY'S VOICE AND TALENT AND TESTIMONY IS POWERFUL. GIVE HIM A VERSE. TAKE MILEY OUT SHE'S YELLING AGAIN....THEN, HAVE JANET SING MOST OF IT. PUT IN GLADYS KNIGHT AND 3T. WHERE'S STEVIE WONDER BY THE WAY? HE SHOULD SING MORE. THERE, YOU DON'T NEED 81 PEOPLE TO MAKE A POWERFUL SONG (OR BUTCHER A CLASSIC).
