}} "We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition)" is a collaborative charity song and music video produced by singer-songwriter Lisa Lavie and posted to the YouTube video sharing website to raise money for victims of the January 12, 2010 Haiti earthquake. It was created as a response to the celebrity remake "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" that was released eight days earlier, and is a cover of "We Are the World", the 1985 charity single produced in support of famine relief in Africa. The participants include ''America's Got Talent'' season 4 contestant and ''American Idol'' season 10 finalist Thia Megia and ''America's Got Talent'' season 1 contestant and ''American Idol'' season 11 finalist Jessica Sanchez. ==Making the video== Lavie conceived, organized, performed in, and with fellow YouTube personality Iman Crosson, co-edited, the video for charity relief〔 of victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake occurring the month before.〔 Lavie said that she “was in the car driving and the idea to do a YouTube version of We Are the World popped into (her) head."〔 She determined how to assign portions of the song to respective YouTube singers, by "going to each singer’s (YouTube) channel and listen(ing) to their voices to get a better idea of how high or low a singer could sing, if a particular part would sound better with their tonal quality, etc."〔 In interviews on CNN〔 and ABC World News,〔 Lavie explained how the video was made, given that its 57 contributors would not be performing in the same studio and generally did not even know each other.〔 After deciding on the assignments of singers to song segments, she sent all the singers the same instrumental backing. A Radio Canada feature〔 included a video segment of Montréal singer Heidi Jutras' vocal performance, in which she suppressed the instrumental accompaniment by using earphones. The singers then returned their respective vocal video segments to Lavie electronically, for the visual segments to be edited, and the audio to be mixed and edited, over the course of "three days (and) one sleepless night." Lavie specifically pointed out the challenge of mixing the vocal segments, made "tedious"〔 by the segments' different sound levels, recorded in different acoustic environments (bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms), and made by microphones of different type and quality.〔 The resulting composite vocal and visual segments, combined with the single instrumental backing, constituted the resulting video. The video was posted as a YouTube "video response"〔 to the 2010 celebrity remake〔 video on YouTube, whose last minute included a video annotation〔 inviting such video responses. CNN's Josh Levs made special note〔 of Lavie's use of YouTube's video annotation〔 feature: her video continually provided successive video annotation hyperlinks to the YouTube channels of the respective contributing singers as their images appeared on-screen throughout the performance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「We Are the World 25 for Haiti (YouTube edition)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
