Canada's Tears Are Not Enough was better than USA's We Are The World


Back in the 1980s when they were raising money for Africa.

I can't choose between them.

Hey! I know you! How are you nice lady?

I'm well and happy. How are you?

Just like a waiving flag

Tough call, but I'm leaning toward Tears Are Not Enough. Hadn't heard it until now.

reply

I agree

reply

MJ's Heal the World is best.

Both are shit. "Do They Know It's Chistmas?" rules them all.

reply

That is a great song but Tears Are Not Enough is not shit.

reply

They're both pretty solid arrangements👍 hard to make a call on the music alone. WATW is obviously front loaded with star power...production values...and controversy. That makes for GREAT entertainment! In the end...probably WATW. But not because of patriotism or the flash of the production. I'd give it to WATW strictly due to Quincy Jones! The man I knows how to arrange a piece and promote a product👍

We Are the World goes on too long and is ruined by Bob Dylan.

reply

It is a long song! But like I said...star power! Had to accommodate all those egos that were supposedly checked at the door😂

Not a fan of Dylan? Or just don't like his part in the tune?

reply

I am a Dylan fan but he is terrible in this. Springsteen wasn't much better.

reply

Both songs are absolutely horrible
It's amazing that so many talented people got together to create complete garbage

Can we all just agree to cut a huge check next time and skip the maudlin horseshit?



reply

You know you jammed to this😉

Holy crap!
Never heard of this mess
Halford, Dio, Vince...they were Rock Gods to me until just now:/
There must have been a mountain of cocaine in that studio for this garbage to have happened
Shame on everyone involved

Again, next time people are starving somewhere lets just write a huge check to send some rice and beans their way

This crap did not need to happen


reply

I LOL at mountain of cocaine😂👍

reply

It is the only way to explain this ridiculous song

reply

I think cocaine accounts for much otherwise inexplicable behaviour in the 80s😉👍

We Are the World was a mediocre song, and only applauded because it showed the being united on stage, as if that's how we really lived. Ebony & Ivory sucked too. Nothing extraordinary in it's tempo , arrangement, vocals.. Aw...my heart melted when I heard it, until I turned off the TV/radio every time it came on. Ebony & Ivory sucked too. The 80's were the beginning of the end of creative pop songs.
