'We Are the world' 2010 video for Haiti debuted last night at the 2010 Winter Olympic opening ceremonies. An original song written by Michael Jackson and recorded in the Jim Henson Studios by more than 80 stars became the remake heard around the world today as it was released world wide. The song, heard by more than 160 countries, brought global focus to a country hard hit by natural disaster.

Highly anticipated, the song was almost majestic in tone, sounding similar to the original by with a 21st century take. The singers brought new life into the classic and new focus to the concerns of Haiti and how the devastating earthquake needs additional relief. Was it worth 25 years of waiting? Of course it was!
