Ok, this may be an age thing but who the heck are all those people in the remake???


Thoughts?

I saw Santana, Celine Dion, and obviously the Jacksons, but I'm not sure about the rest... my husband recognized a lot of people though

Thanks, Papaya.... way to make me feel OLD!
Rub my nose in the fact that I have NO KNOWLEDGE of popular culture.

I'm with you.... I have no idea who any of the young ones are.

I did notice Barbara. (but as a gay guy; I'm obligated to to so...)

Is it my imagination or did Michael Jackson come back from the dead to participate in this remake?

Hey! How do you think I feel at least you can use the excuse that you've been living on a boat.

I cringed at the sight of the Jonas Brothers.

Well, I recognise nearly everybody in the first one. I do prefer that since it's from my generation.

Now in the second one, I do see some familiar faces and voices such as Josh Groben, Celine Dion, Barbara Streisand...I think I saw Lionel Richie....I also think I saw a few from the first video in the second... they just look a lot older now. Of course, like you, I don't recognise a lot of the singers of today. I would have to study the video closer to make you a list of the ones I did recognise.

Thanks for posting it, I did very much enjoy them...especially the first one.

I only recognized a few, and that was the older people.

So did I. There are both about the same, except the second has that hip hop section.

Does anyone know what year the older came out? I seem to like the song better today than when it came out. I must be getting sappy in my old age. :D
