1) Who in the heck is Justin whatshisface? And how in the world did he get Richie's part?
2) Liked how they kept Michael's part, and how Jamie Foxx brought Ray Charles into it.
3) It's painful watching anytime Celine Dion tries to outsing anyone.
4) People complained about Wyclef singing off key, and while that's true did everyone forget Willie Nelson's part in the original one?
5) Someone else's comment: Funny how when we need God the most, he's left out of this song.
6) Liked guitars and the rap added, just a natural addition in my opinion.
7) The group idea of a chorus and harmony is very foreign to these people.
8) Good chord selection for the rap selection (same one used in Michael's verse 2nd appearance)
9) Very little chorus filming, a lot more of individual singers.
10) Every list has to have 10 things, so here's number 10: WHO THE HECK IS JUSTIN WHATSHISFACE?!!!

very astute, grasshopper!
So I finally went and watched this new version and was left feeling pretty unimpressed. I think it's mainly due to the fact that it's so hard to see so much ego in one room and that many seemed more concerned with how they perfomed, rather than why they were perfoming. It's kind of like watching an anchor person pretending to be interested in the person they are interviewing. Verdict: Why change the original formula to new Coke? We all know which one is better.
In the original version, Billy Joel (I believe) leaned over to Cyndi Lauper and said that it sounded like a Pepsi commercial jingle. They didn't disagree. I haven't heard the new one, but I'm a bit afraid to now that you've described it. Sounds a bit horrendous.
