  2. Chipped Tooth Condition says:

    The fuckery. Good thing MJ is dead now. He won’t be able to see this fuckery.

  3. millions says:

  4. bigman says:

    auto tune really hahahah somethings u just cant remake

  5. kris says:

    are they serious with the autotune? and wycelf..dude u can’t sing

  6. Theloneus says:

    Damn. I’m crying. It’s not very good. Nope. Not at all. The rap part sounded like a bad auto-tune glitch. Then Wyclef went in. Nope. Not good, Not at all.

  7. Crazy says:

    Its so hard to bash a song like this. Should have left this song alone. Should did a whole nother song.

  8. VM367 says:

    Did anybody else find all the expensive looking clothing and other accessories taking away from the message of this song, which is unite and financialy support Haiti? I bet that if everyone of those people donted the amount of money that their outfit cost, idk where I’m going with this but it just really seemed like an opportunity to show your celebrtiy versus making a difference in a tragic issue

  9. Facepalm says:

    Who the fuck are these people?

  10. prolificjason says:

    JAY-Z BONO RIHANNA WON THIS IS TERRIBLE

  11. millions says:

    wyclef fucked the song up tryna sing…….stick to producing……

  12. Crazy says:

    I can’t believe they let Wyclef sing like that!

  13. dani says:

    so glad eminem and jay-z were not apart of this fuckery.

  14. yesssir says:

    really…you take a CLASSIC song and you put vocalists on there who use “auto-tune”
    DOWNGRADE.

    Wyclef, I know you’re from Haiti and all, but damn dude. you were terrible.

  15. UnderOneGod says:

    Wow, negativity is so contagious…quit trying to compare people! Of course it doesn’t stand next to the original, but it stands on its on. The fact that it was done should be the focus not every meticulous difference. How about the haters get together and do a remake, because that’s what the WORLD is being consumed with anyway!

  16. R.O.E. says:

    This shit was horrible. Point. Blank. Period. No matter how you try to slice it. It was wack.

  17. sexynewcumer says:

    this version sucks, big time. Never f@*k with a classic. Thank God!!! MJ isn’t around hear this weak S*#t. Matter of fact he might be rolling over in his grave over this.

  18. j says:

    Why do we have to fuck up evrything

  19. junk juice says:

    wow that was rough

  20. sexynewcumer says:

    wyclef, please do me a favor? Stop singing. Your killing me.
    I wanted to give this a chance because it could’ve been done
    right, but now forget it.
    Pls tell me Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

  21. ChadDizzle says:

    Let me be the first one to say I LIKED IT….yes it doesn’t compare to the original, but for the cause that it is needed right now, I thought it was good. so count me in the like section…now back to the hateration………….

  22. sexynewcumer says:

    I did get it off of itunes, so i could help with the haiti thing, but damn this just sucks. I’m sorry, I have to be honest. The truth shall set you free!

  23. BK says:

    SHITS LIKE SOULAH BOY TRYIN RAP OVER ILLMATIC BEATS.
    DON’T FUCK WITH A CLASSIC.

  24. jawdrop says:

    Ouch…That’s scary the so called “best” of the industry came together and this was the result smh that’s why people invent don’t try to reinvent especially with a classic what’s next remaking Thriller?

  25. BK says:

    WTF IS WRONG WITH WYFLEF??? NIGGA SOUND LYK HE GETTIN FUKED UP TH ASS… SMH, THESE MOTHER FUCKERS NEED WRITE AN APOLOGY TO MJ IN THE DISCLAIMER CUS I NO HE TURNIN IN THAT GOLDEN COFFIN.

  26. james says:

    yea cosign im glad jay and eminem reports were rumors and false this shit suks so bad autotune really really really lol cmon now do u think u can use autotune in singing competitions like american idol lol

  27. llll says:

    well, good thing eminem is not on it!!!i actually knew it was going to be one of the worst songs of the decade!!!

  28. Okay Ma, and??? says:

    that was fuckin hilarious

  29. blaqscorpio says:

    LMFAO! Simon Cowells compilation of artists for “Everybody hurts” just put them to SHAME!

  30. Nathaniel says:

    in wyclef’s defense…he’s haitian. he sings like a haitian. they don’t croon, they belt. ever heard muslim’s in the east sing prayers? its just as…if not even MORE….well, different. and don’t get me started on monks….whew.

    personally i thought Jamie Foxx resurrecting Ray Charles and doing an impression of his singing voice in the middle of the fucking song was the fail of the song.

    second being the rap part. (nipsey hussle wasn’t even participating, lol). that shit reminded me of the Planeteer rap in the Captain Planet song. and who was mixing up those kanye snippets like that?

    the whole shit was just all over the place. oh well, such is life.

  32. stickupKid says:

    song waz going good unitl LIL WAYNE started the autotune bullshit…..then it went downhill real fast

  33. SMH says:

    Damn near everything about this remake is wrong! I hope Quincy wasn’t in the room when they put that autotune on… Michael must be moonwalkin with pain in his grave right now.
    SMH!!!!

  34. blaqscorpio says:

    ^
    Oh he was there, him and Lionel were right there! lol

  35. teejay says:

    Oh. My. God.

    Thank god jay and eminem didn’t participate in this fuckery.

  36. Melvin Burch says:

    It honestly wasn’t that bad.

  37. webstar says:

    Jamie Fox really needs to learn when it is appropriate to make a mockery & when it is not.

  38. MXL says:

    If not for the rap part, it would be fine. Autotune? And were them niggas tryin’ to get crunk in that fuckin’ rap chorale? The hearts were in the right place, but you can’t just throw Hip-Hop on EVERYTHING. The shit just didn’t fit.

  39. Jay says:

    so disappointed in this. maybe if i didnt have to compare it to the original it would be better. they should have left the rappers off. the rappers could have done their own tribute.

  40. Rick says:

    If it was closer to the original, you lames would sit there and say “it’s too 80′s”. Shut the fuck up and take what they give you when it’s for charity.

  41. teejay says:

    Thing is, the only thing that outright RUINED it was the hip hop part. We werent represented well.

  42. toto says:

    lol@ nipsey husstle tweeting how he was in the studio writing his verse for this shit
    yet throughout the whole thing he’s just standing in the back.. by far the worst song ever made.

  43. NotoriousRambo says:

    **DEAD @ BK COMMENT** SMH HE JUST TRYING TO SING IN CREOLE MAN BUT THAT SHIT HAD ME CRACKING UP LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

    OK TO BE HONEST IT WASN’T AS BAD AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND I’M NOT GONNA BASH IT CAUSE IT’S ALL DONE FOR A GOOD CAUSE BUT I WILL SAY THIS WILL NOT FUCK WITH THE ORIGINAL AND ITS NOT THE SAME WITHOUT MJ R.I.P. I CAN SEE WHY EM AND JAY DIDN’T WANNA MESS WITH IT THE RAPPING PART WAS KIND CORNY SMH

  44. NotoriousRambo says:

    ON A SIDE NOTE GREAT TO SEE MY SQUADRON HM-14 OUT OF NORFOLK, VA UP IN THE VIDEO HELPING OUT THEY CAN BE SEEN AT 2:32

  45. jitty says:

    horriblee…

  46. Alex says:

    OMG Wyclef you got to be kidding. No wonder his mansion was foreclosed on. He CAN”T sing. What they need to rescue this country is look for the money the Baby Doc Duvalier stole from the Haitian people. Wyclef fucked up this song.

  47. Da Business says:

    @ BK

    Yo fo’ real homie, u had me dying LMAO w/ ur comment…and i’m a zoe (haitian).

  48. Meke says:

    Man auto-tune thats why jayz wasnt there . .

  49. Alex says:

    Why didn’t they start the song with the little kid singing in the beginning and michael jackson super-imposed right next to him. Michael would have been the first one flying to Haiti to look for a little Webster
