"Following up on the success of the star-studded TV and Internet streamed \u201CHope for Haiti Now\u201D event last month, a new version of \u201CWe Are the World\u201D has premiered on YouTube, featuring more than 75 artists.\nThe video was directed by Paul Haggis, produced by Quincy Jones, and featured a diverse array of artists including Mary J. Blige, Tony Bennett, YouTube phenom Justin Bieber, and a flashback to Michael and Janet Jackson performing the song 25 years ago in a similar fundraiser for Africa.\nThe charitable connection here is a digital download \u2014 all proceeds from sales of the song on iTunes go to Haiti relief.  The We Are the World Foundation website also offers other ways to donate, as well as more information about the song.\nOn choosing to use YouTube for distribution, the legendary Jones says in a Q&amp;A, \"With the stroke of a key on your keyboard or cell phone, images and messages can be transferred all around the world to hundreds of millions of people in seconds. That\u2019s an enormous amount of power. How can you not try and harness that resource to help people in need?\" \nWe imagine the results here will indeed be huge.  In addition to the YouTube premiere, the song played during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics earlier this evening. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
