I really like this, 57 of YouTube’s more high-profile musicians decided to pitch in for a viral version of the recently celebrity-studded remake. These musicians are celebs in their own right, and it’s just cool how they all got together virtually for a kick-ass version that’s often just as goosebump-inducing as any. Whoever thought of the idea was a genius. I can just imagine the logistics though, of choosing which 24 of the thousands of YouTube singers get to be included and who gets to sing what, and editing all the raw footage that was probably emailed to one editor who stitched the whole thing together. Amazing.
amazing!!!! love it!! thanks Chico!!
T’was a great version indeed Chico. Saw this a few days ago.
I think it was Lisa Lavie (http://www.youtube.com/user/lisalavie1), another great YouTube artist, who spearheaded this one – organized, assigned lines, mixed, etc.
talk about collaboration!….amazing!….its also funny so many different bedrooms…hahaha
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing it. I always knew your blog posts are worth reading.
indeed a great version… wouldn’t it be nice to see another version created by our own OPM artists…?
Actually it’s available in itune. If you dowload it from itune the proceeds will go to the victims in Haiti. Great song.
hey thanks for posting, Chico! I kinda like this version more than the other one
Goooooosebumpsssssss
Wow, this is really a coming together of people with big hearts and big talents for a cause. Amazing! Thanks for posting this, love it!
I spotted 2 PINOY singers in that vid – JR aquino and aj Rafael . . .
actually i think there are 6 pinoys (well, fil-am): jr, aj, melissa polinar (the second soloist), jessica sanchez (she was previously on america’s got talent), anna moya (she has no solo), and chris cendana (the one wearing a tie)
hats-off to this youtube artists. there are at least 4 fil-ams on the video. great collab. for me its one of the best covers of this song yet. when i saw this vid a couple of days back i cant help but feel sorry for the “professional’s” auto-tuned cover.
got goosebumps on this, i really feel like crying when i hear this song and to see so many great artists collaborate for such a big cause…hay Ü
thanks for the post chico!
GREAT!!!! ^_^
liked this one too more than the other one..
whoa…aj rafael and jr aquino…pride of the philippines!!
Amazing! and wow! ang daming pinoy.
Ang familiar lang ako kay JR Aquino.
I’m glad kasama din sina David Choi and Airto

Oh my goodness. That was 100,000 times much better than the recent remake. With absolutely no rapping at the end too!
