celeb news Cyndi Lauper: "Madonna should have sung on We Are The World"

[Hector]

 

Queen  I blame Quincy Jones anyway. 

[Mr.X]

who cares? that song was basically a bunch of celebs masturbating to pretend they cared about atrocities the world over, just like those awful Do They Know is Christmas? kind of campaigns that are basically just tax-benefitting schemes for millionaires.

Id rather she did and released her solo #1 hit Crazy for You instead.

Latoya latook her spot.

[vuelve88]

Madonna isn't thinking about this song at all. Just leave it in the past. 

[HardBambi]

If I'm not mistaken Like a prayer dethroned We are the world on Hot100  so the better song won

[Khal]

Madonna in addition to the mess that was already happening might have ended up pushing Michael over the edge and he'd end up physically fighting everyone in that room  

[Rev8]

Latoya should've sang the whole thing alone!

That was the funniest things ever 🤣

Madonna and Prince not being part of this cringe mess was the best decision they could make.

Its okay cause weeks later she got her own solo.#1 with Crazy 4 You 

[JoeAg]

this song is suuuuch an atrocity  the lyrics are giving song I wrote when I was 10 after reading a front page article of the washington post for the first time instead of just the comics and the weather and it touched me so deeply that I felt inspired to write the most anodyne sh*t ever. the fact that everyone is giving the most over the top theatre kid vocal performances throughout it with the most exaggerated faces while the tessitura of that song is like half an octave at most makes it all the more cringy  I for one am glad that Madonna stayed the f*ck away from that disaster! we are the world? we are the children? please. you're grown ass adults who are so obviously better than the sum of your parts, that sh*t aged like milk

[Junlin]

No one care about that song in 2024, not even 2010s, so Madonna got it right. 

[unison stan]

they didn't care about her at that time and now she's the best selling female artist oat 

[HASHTAGPOW]

I do miss when artists pretend to care about the world  

 

 

[Pikachoo]

the word 'sing' was not used as loosely back then as it is today

Like a Prayer came years later  it was Crazy For You, which entered the top 5 while Material Girl was at #2, something that was rare back then, queen!
