BITTERSWEET!! | U.S.A. For Africa - We Are the World | SINGER REACTION 

So Iconic ❤️✨. Would love to hear from you! Like and subscribe. Connect with me here: linktr.ee/mrspenpal

Sorry, but i feel bad if people don't know Bruce Springsteen nowadays. To accuse, I'm 51. Know nearly the whole audience.

The raspy voice guy is Bruce Springsteen. He was one of the top rock artists at that time and is still going strong.

Back when you had to actually be able to sing to become a famous singer

Bruce Springsteen killed it so hard on this song. Absolutely love his voice!!

Gen X was the most diverse generation. Our music, film, television ect.. prove that every day. Let's go back & live in the 80's .. demand music like this! Demand humanity.

I really LOVED Cindi Lauper's part and every time I hear THAT PART, I get a sense of NOSTALGIA, SOULFULNESS AND PASSION, on Cindi's part.

The assemblage of these musical icons and legends will surely never happen again. Another wondaful reaction from our beautiful Blessing. You are referring to raspy voiced Bruce Springsteen. Great reaction young lady, RNB

I absolutely love how there is no racism in this production. Just legends coming together to help people. People helping people. The way it should be.

Checkout Band Aid for a charity for at the time a famine in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Africa, all the best artists from the United Kingdom, song is called, (Do They Know It’s Christmas) !

At that time this was quite a few of the best singers. Stevie Wonder,Ray Charles gives me chills every time I hear them sing this! AWESOME!!!

This was so beautiful!! So nice that you got to enjoy this. That raspy voice is Bruce Springsteen. 😊

The only thing that made this iconic classic better was your reaction. If time could be manipulated, I'd have YOU as a feature vocalist. 🍸💐🤩🌹

Steve Perry. The Golden Voice

The World can be passionate at times♥written by Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie and produced by Quincy Jones

Name drop 2 Bruce Springsteen AKA the BOSS✌️❤️

"The guy with the raspy voice" is Bruce Springsteen

James Ingram has a special place in my heart. Please listen to his song Just Once.

The man with the raspy voice is Bruse Springsteen. 🙏😇❤️🇺🇸

My artists in this were Michael Jackson & Bruce Springsteen. Thinking this song get me through a very stressful period some months ago, when I was facing an eviction hearing. Not really the topic of the song, I know; but it gave me strength & hope. (And I got a stay of eviction til the end of this month.) Every time I see & hear the pairing of Michael Jackson's & Diana Ross's voices, I remember that they'd costarred in the movie The Wiz, in which Michael played the Scarecrow & Diana played Dorothy. It's a retelling of The Wizard of Oz with an all Black cast, filmed in the 70s. Great music. Have you ever seen it?

Bruce Springsteen is the one with the raspy voice who make a great part with the duo with Stevie wonder

I like Steve Perry., from Journey Band

This was made the night of The Grammy Awards show, 1985. That's how they got all them together at once. The British singers , Band Aid, had done their charity song earlier in the previous year. The Americans came back and said, hold my beer.

Bruce Springsteen is mister raspy.. The Boss.. I could never pick a best from this video.. I love them all..

Yea, I remember this song. Good reaction to this positive song. Thanks for sharing. 😊🎉❤

shame!!!!! how dont't you recognzie BOB DYLAN, PAUL SIMON, RAY CHARLES, CINDY LAUPER THE FINAL THE BOSS/STEWIE WONDER is epic.....

👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏that was all the best of the best

This was an OMG moment as soon as it premiered on MTV. Too many to remember, lists on-line. In my 20's when this came-out and like a 'Grammy' or Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame moment. Something When you do project with Willie Nelson Bob Dylan Diana Ross Michael Jackson Ray Charles, Springsteen, Tina Turner, Lionel Ritchie and Paul Simon. And written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie.

One singer, who is seldom recognized is this video is the backrow. Harry Belafonte. Not shure, but think his daughter, Shari, were also there.

Name drop. That's Dion Warwick ✌️❤️

Name drop the artist : Dionne Warwick (is Whitney Houston cousin)

Hey its a reason why they are all stars. I appreciate all kinds of music and majority of those artists if not all I really like.chrck out the updated one. It's for Haiti with modern singers.

I was a huge Billy Joel. Steve Perry lead of Journey and Daryl Hall of Hall and Oates.

The short blonde woman with the screechy voice is Cyndi Lauper.

Awww> Love your voice n love your hair.... Thank you for your wonderful reaction. Yes so many great artists. This does not happen anymore. Your so precious and adored by many!

This would never happen in 2023 stars...they may sing, but not together...so many egos in that room. So sad in 2023 we are further behind socially than ìn 1985. I was in college in the 90s and it was so much better in terms of integration, of different cultures...the guy with raspy voice is Bruce Springsteen otherwise known as the Boss!

lo stesso anno è uscita Band Aid Do They Know It's Christmas?

I've been a fan of Anita Pointer for a long time. She sang in the choir, and passed away December 31, 2022. You can see her at 9:58 in the white shirt.

Gracias a michael. Grandiosas canciones❤ x mi cindy y bruce 👏 todos buenísimos 🤗

Let me see if I can give some context to the singers you may now know on the list that was already given: Paul Simon - half of the 60's folk/rock group Simon and Garfunkel. "Mrs Robinson" is probably their most popular song. James Ingram - several soul/pop songs, but did a realllly popular duet called "Baby Come to Me" with Patti Austin in the 80's. Dionne Warwick - Whitney Houston's older cousin (not aunt) and 60's legend that kept a strong career, even to this day, and had a hit song the year after this with Stevie Wonder "That's What Friends Are For" Al Jarreau - Another soul/jazz singer had a major hit in 1980 with "We're In This Love Together" and stayed pretty consistent throughout the 80's. Kenny (effin') Loggins! - Sorry, it upsets me that not enough people recognize him considering every person on Earth knows his most famous song "Highway to the Danger Zone" featured in the movie Top Gun. Daryl Hall - of Hall & Oates.. an unstoppable duo with hit after hit after hit throughout the 70's and 80's. Rich Girl, Maneater, Sara Smile, Out of Touch... this list is way too massive to write Huey Lewis - another "Kenny Loggins" You know him even if you think you don't! "The Power of Love" featured in the "Back to the Future" movie. Kim Carnes - Maybe the most forgivable for not recognizing. She had a huge hit just before this with "Betty Davis Eyes" but the rest of her songs are relatively obscure when you compare them with the rest of that room. Bruce Springsteen - the raspy voice guy has always been a huge superstar basically since his first album. He's one of the rare few whose stardom just never seems to fade, until at least, his fans die off. Cindy Lauper - The bright rainbow haired girl... another superstar who seemed to just have songs everywhere during this decade "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", the Goonies movie song, and "Time After Time" (If you're lost and you look then you will find me, time after time...). Also worth noting in the chorus shown clearly was Harry Belefonte (The Banana Boat Song, and Jump in the Line, both off the Beetlejuice soundtrack as well) and right next to him, the guy in the jacket and glasses.... Dan Akroyd... yes, the SNL star and actor from Ghostbusters (among tons more), he was and is a legitimate musician as part of the Blues Brothers Band.

All the stars I grew up listening to, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Mj, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, James Ingram, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall, Bruce ‘The Boss’ Springsteen, Ray Charles, Huey Lewis, Al Jareu, all my favs! And others I enjoyed!

Now do a reaction to the making of we are the world. Very informative and funny. ✌️❤️

Another vote for The Making of We Are The World.

Bruce, Stevie sing off gives me goosiees

Dionne Warwick is the one you asked to drop the name. She’s Whitney Houston’s aunt!

It's a wonderful song with alot of singer's coming together for this beautiful song. GOD BLESS YOU AND EVERYONE🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Quincy Jones put up a sign that read... Before entering this room leave your egos at the door.

I cry every time as watching this video, I was in the US at that time. Nerver forget what feeling of “USA for Aferica” phornonminal event.

And Dan Aykroyd

Stevie gets me in my emotions here

Harry Belafonte in the choir. This was his big idea to do this. Before recording they all were singing an in the moment rendition of Day-O in tribute.

Have you seen the Making of We Are the World video yet? It really amazed me how much hard work went into creating something so effortless & beautiful! This was an all night recording session immediately following an awards show that many of the artists had attended. The sheer stamina of these people! I'm sure you know something about the hard work I'm talking about. These were all masters of their craft.

All awesome! All legends! My faves were Steve Perry, MJ/Huey Lewis/Cyndi Lauper, Bruce Springsteen/Stevie Wonder, James Ingram/Ray Charles 💖

amazing reaction, first time here and you really broke it down lovely. I would like to direct you to an amazing live performance at the famous Abbey Studios in the UK and an artist by the name of Paulo Nutini and the track called Iron Sky. That will bring you to your knees... the voice, the subject matter, the live musicians and the backing vocals. You will absolutely love it if you aint heard it before.

at 3:42, That is Dion Warwick. Actually Whitney Houston's Aunt.

Looove your face when Kenny sings 😍

Probably my favorite part was Bruce Springsteen's back and forth with Stevie wonder. Bruce Springsteen had so many huge hits in the 80s, most notably Born in the USA and Glory days. I also liked Michael Jackson's solar Park leading into Diana Ross followed by Huey lewis, Tina Turner and Willie Nelson. The lead singer of journey was in there. And then Cyndi lauper's part is fire.

There is now a documentary on Netflix about this.... worth more than 1 watch.

It is a pity they didn't invited Freddy Mercury, Olivia Newton John and Air Supply.

Next please reaction Indonesia's various artists -we are the world 🙏🙏🇮🇩🇮🇩

I have heard this song so many times since it came out, and it hits every time. I only got to watch this video a few years ago when I finally got access to internet, and was so blown away by the video. You should check out the behind the scenes video if you haven't yet. They are all amazing!

I enjoy watching these reactions to this song to see how many artists are recognized, lol. I’m going to be judgmental if you don’t know who MJ is! 😜 Someone usually comes into the comments & lists all the artists so you’ll have them to refer to & I recommend you take each one & react to some of their songs. it would be an education in itself if you did! The artist I love the most from the “choir” is the black guy in the back row, standing next to the white guy in the glasses. His name is Harry Belafonte & he was an actor & civil rights activist as well as a singer who popularized calypso music in the US during the ‘50s & ‘60s. Yellow Bird was a huge hit for him as well as Day-O & Jump the Line. He had many more, but those will get you started if you pursue this.

Stevie Wonder and Bruce Springsteen. Absolute proof that fire and ice can be blended together.😮

The one I got to love through my parents in my German childhood was Harry Belafonte there in the back, next to Dan Ackroyd. However, within the video, the duet of Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder is simply the most amazing thing! Someone commented under another reaction to this that this was "the duett the world didn't know it needed"!

My favorite are Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder

Diana Ross. Always fabulous.

The singer that you say is so recurring is none other than Bruce Springsteen, a legendary singer, still active, and number 1 on the Rock charts around the world, with numerous awards, gold and platinum records and probably the architect of This song, with MJ, is credited with the famous phrase that was written at the entrance to the studio when this song was recorded: Leave your egos before entering

I was watching Gen Zers watching this and the only person they knew was MJ. The rest of the WRTW cast the Gen Zer were totally lost on. And that's so sad.

Willy Nelson’s line is wrong. God never turned stones to bread

The guy with the raspy, gravely voice is Bruce Springsteen.

I am sorry why many people don,t know bruce springstteen lf is a star everybody know.

Harry Bella Fountain was the guy at the back with hi eyes closed.

Bruce Springsteen, one of the best voices of all time.

it's a sad thing to say, but I was not surprised she didn't know Dionne Warwick - most reactors don't

Do you know how many single sold inthe world only in this room . How many Emmy winners in this place amazing

Bruce Springsteen, a.k.a. The Boss.

Definitely Stevie Wonder is my favourite voice in this one 🙏😍

kenny loggins, beard full head of hair.

Hey, your singing voice is very great!! Like it!

Sun city Artists united against apartheid

3.45 Dionne Warwick ❤

There is a video that shows the names of the soloista

Band Aid, Do They Know it's Christmas is a must. After that, I would recommend some live performances from Live Aid.

Bruce Springstiine

I can't believe no body nows Bob Dillon the song whiter in history

The Boss (Bruce Springsteen) is so sincere and so powerful that you would think he would destroy the famine single-handedly! A great, sincere and human artist! His duet with Steve is unsurpassable!

The Hear n' Aid project was heavy metal's answer to such pop music charities like Band Aid and USA For Africa; Dio.. Halford... And many more... projects which gathered various musicians throughout the recording industry to participate in making songs that would help raise money for famine relief efforts in Africa and around the world. here the best version I could find...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G5H94GHb-10.htmlfeature=shared

An amazing song with all the legends. Great reaction, and I must say you are beautiful.

凄く綺麗ですね❤❤

What’s sad. They wanted Prince and Madonna for this too. Prince refused because of his feud with Michael and Madonna was on tour and couldn’t. And Whitney had just started singing

It was a golden age, when a young person could easily afford to go see these artists in concert. I have seen 9 of them live.

❤

Deann Warwick

Beautiful
