I'm old enough to remember when this song came out and it still makes me tear up. This is what we need today.

Greatest assembly of talent in one room ever!

Cyndi Lauper, when she opened her mouth and in three words; "Well Well Well" She made the whole bunch of legends sit up and take notice. She gave the performance of a lifetime on that song.

Cyndi Lauper's whole esthetic is so adorable. Her hair, her outfit, her voice, and even her height.

I cried with you.This song needs to be back on the radio waves

This was a different world and life, compared with today. The nation was not divided.

Michael's part when he goes "When you're down and out" THE BEST. What a voice!

i’m a grown ass man. i cry every time i hear this shit

Michael really sing like an angel i'm so emotional, and the whole song is so beautiful

We didn’t have Internet memes or Tik Tok in the 80s ... but everyone could sing this song doing their own personal imitation of each celebrity singer.

I'm 46... and damn the 80's was a kick ass decade. I'm so grateful that my childhood took place at that time. This was such a big deal when it was made. Although I'm 46, not 76... I'm already beginning to contemplate my mortality and see life through a different filter than I did when I was younger. Watching this broke the dam... and a flood of emotion came over me. 😭

Dionne Warwick has such a beautiful voice

It's wonderful seeing your beautiful smile and the passion in your face listening to this song. Thank you for sharing and bringing back wonderful memories with this music. I think it should be released again today.

The talent in that room.... to this day still gives me chills

They had a sign on the wall, “ leave your ego at the door”

Do not be ashamed little girl.. Lots of us have cried too , when they did this song... A WONDERFUL réunion of STARS.. Totally impossible in 2023.. 👍👏🤜take care of you ; you are a Nice personne.❤

How does anyone dislike someone reacting so beautifully to a song? People who cant find joy in life. You gave me a new appreciation for this song that Ive heard so many times over the last 30 years.

Beautiful. And all I can think is......where is this kind of love and kindness in 2021?? The 80s were so special.

Jesus 80's nowdays look like some fantasy, like we just imagined it.

Artistes in this video who have passed on: Kenny Rogers, James Ingram, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles. Not here physically, but their voices are eternal always. Respect to the legends🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song is emotionally overwhelming. It expresses the hope that we all hold onto in the core of our hearts, even in this current troubled and divided world we live in. I can not listen to it without breaking into tears. Once again, you have given us a wonderful reaction video. Well done.

Ray Charles, Kenny Rogers, the great Micheal Jackson just to name a few no longer with us miss there singing live!

Michael Jacksons music connected with 3 generations

The anthem we need today like never before.

Legends 🙌🙌RIP Micheal Jackson . Great reaction

I have watched this video numerous times, because your reactions are like a little kid on Christmas morning. When you tear up at Michael Jackson, I smile every time..

One of the best songs EVER! I was a teenager back then. Brought me goosebumps! Now it brings me to my knees in tears! So much has happened in the world since then! But the song STILL fits!

Written by the great Michael Jackson and Lional Richie

Everyone who was anything at this time was a part of this. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was an amazing time in history.

The MJ part ALWAYS makes me cry. I miss him so much. R.I.P. KING.

Your reaction when MJ came on 😢😍😘

The lady with the cutest smile ☺️☺️☺️

hi guys just look at all theses famous people how young they are well your looking at about 35 years ago boy just how time flies man ; (

"We are the world "We the human race Love & prayers to all! 📖🤜🏼❤️🤛🏿🌍🙏🏻💯

There was a remake of this done about 10 years with more "current" artists, but it still doesnt hold a candle to this....

I remember it as yesterday ! It is a wonderful song from all these artists for Africa. I love You’re emotional reaction! Much love ❤️ from Holland !💋🇱🇺🙋🏼‍♂️

I love Cyndi Lauper's part in the song, what an awesome assembly!

I feel you sister, the world was a better place then,sending ❤️ from Scotland 😍

I cried when I saw how happy she was when she saw Michael😭😭😭❤️✨

We definitely need another rendition of this beautiful song to show unity against the Fight of covid19 and to show support to everyone who has lost loved ones and to thank the Healthcare workers ... because we as the World will definitely come out on Top🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝❤️

I remember when this came out, it was and is a beautiful song. Young lady ive found myself looking forward to your post. I love watching your reactions. God bless you, i hope that you have a joyous and blessed day.

Your reactions are so pure and heartfelt and anyone not being moved to tears for this amazing collaboration is made of stone. The most important song from the '80s - THIS was what the decade was all about.

Your emotions are priceless listening to this amazing song with amazing artists in the wonderful decade of the 1980s ♥️♥️♥️

You have many great artists like Willie Nelson, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan or Ray Charles...but the air changes when Michael Jackson appears in the video, right? Just look at her eyes

I was 20 years old when I saw the premier of it on MTV in March of 1985. It was a powerful video then and it still is.

All l have to say is "The Boss" Mr Bruce Springsteen!!! His voice alone can only compare to @ least 4 of any other stars you can choose from the lot!!!

You're such an open-hearted young woman. Lovely to see.

It still makes me cry after all these years....I'm so happy to see you were as affected as me....huggz 🤗❤

The chorus is full of big stars too - - Harry Belafonte, Bette Midler, a bunch of Jacksons, a few Pointer SIsters, Dan Ackroyd and many more.

ThIs was the most authentic/genuine reaction of this song that I have come across in KZfaq! Thank you for making me 😢 all over again!

Girl, I've always loved that song/video, but seeing your reaction made me cry. The tears were also in part because some of the great artists performing the song have since passed on. I'm glad you watched it straight through without stopping it multiple times. Great song pick and well done.

All these years later I still love this song and believe wholeheartedly in the words.

The face of a person who's just realized how embarassing today's singers are compared to that lineup LMAO

This song still gets to me, then and now. You have me tearing up even more! 💜

This is the greatest music video of vocal talents ever put together in history.

From a time a long time ago, when the world was a much better place. When people cared about each other.

Wonderful reaction! Have you reacted to "Do They Know It's Christmas Time " by Band Aid in 1984? It was the one that inspired this one and was made up of British singers. :) love your channel! Have a blessed day!

I'm in my forties and I still tear up when I hear this song we are God's children which makes us brothers and sisters peace

The few seconds of Harry Belafonte always get to me. He's the one that got the ball rolling on this project on the American side, yet he puts himself way in the back like an extra and still sings his heart out. Good man.

Gawd girl, you had me tearing up and I've watched this video countless times. Wonderful reaction! They were all so young. RIP to all those passed.

I have seen this video dozens of time, and it still makes me cry.

I was watching this on MTV back in 85. My sisters and I were glued to the tube when this song came on.

When the backup chorus includes 2 pointer sisters, at least four Jacksons, Bette Midler, Harry Belafonte - and Dan Akroyd - - that's beyond star-studded.

There are some spectacular big name artists in this video

I feel this song deep in my soul every time I hear it. And I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson 2

This song has a special place in the world of music. Never before has this much talent been on the same stage. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Just blows me away.

I Remember When This Came Out In 1985 What A Beautiful Song For The Time With A Lot Of Beautiful People Singing Plus Quincy It's Even More Beautiful Hearing it In 2020

A beautiful song,and some of our greatest musicians and singers❣️.We should have speakers and put the video on streets corners in every town blasting this song. I just don’t know if the song would drown out the noise in some people’s head😪😪, I know the baby boomers would listen I,🤞 hope 🤔.Hello from central🔥🔥 California🇱🇷🔥 🔥 ❣️😎👩🏼‍🦳

I can remember this being made. Quincy Jones was great and Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder wow

I’m convinced with mainstream music today they couldn’t do anything like this. The amount of top talent during 1 era in one room.

I saw an interview of Katherine Jackson where she was talking about how Michael Jackson saw a commercial on TV about starving children in Africa and how kids were dying. And he told his Mom, "Someday, I'm going to do something about that." I had always known this song, but didn't know he wrote it to help others. He was such a brilliant man who cared for everyone.

I remember this well, and it's just iconic.

And Lionel Richie still looks the same. Lol. RIP to Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, Ray Charles. I loved your passion in watching this classic. Some of our greatest icons. Thanks.♥️😎👍

In my Eyes, this Song should be the World Hymn!

This is it, as our world should be, no colors, no religions, no borders, only love and peace and love you're next as you love yourself. I saw this 40 years ago and get goosebumps, but didn't understand what is going on with our planet. Later I understood and nothing changed in 40 years. Suffer and pain,. I cry each time when I listen.

Beautiful reaction! I think we need to bring back this video and its message for the world today. We are all, first and foremost, human beings. We just need to put aside differences and respect and love each other.

This song changed many lives in Africa for generations ❤️

One of the greatest collections of vocal talent in one place, and atop - Quincy Jones - one of the greatest record producers ever.

Never has there been a group of more talented singers group together in one place at one time. I am happy you're just for watching this video

I criyed too. It's great. love Michael Jackson.amazing music video.

Omg this song makes me cry. I have not heard it in so long... It feels like just yesterday when I first heard it!!! It sends shivers in my spine...uffff!!!

I love to see young people attempting to know where it all started and looking back to see who was big at that moment in time. Those are a lot of the stars who were huge in the 1980's. Back when star power was at it's peak..... I'm sad you don't know Diana Ross and Tina Turner! They are legends! Look them up when you get the chance! That song generated billions to help feed the world over time..... And yes.... Mike was a super mega star at that point in his life who also co-wrote the song by the way!

This was so special. God I miss the eighties. We need this kind of stuff NOW more than ever.

For a week, MJ & Lionel Richie spent every night working on lyrics and melodies in Jackson's bedroom. Jackson's older sister La Toya watched the two work on the song, and later contended that Richie only wrote a few lines for the track. She stated that her younger brother wrote 99% of the lyrics, "but he's never felt it necessary to say that". La Toya further commented on the song's creation in an interview with the U.S. celebrity news magazine People. "I'd go into the room while they were writing and it would be very quiet, which is odd, since Michael's usually very cheery when he works. It was very emotional for them." Richie had recorded two melodies for "We Are the World", which Jackson took, adding music and words to the song in the same day. Jackson stated, "I love working quickly. I went ahead without even Lionel knowing, I couldn't wait. I went in and came out the same night with the song completed-drums, piano, strings, and words to the chorus."Jackson then presented his demo to Richie and Jones, who were both shocked; they did not expect the pop star to see the structure of the song so quickly.

I cried listening when it first came out. I still tear up everytime I hear it.
