Will.I.am from Black Eyed Peas made an inspirational song from a speech by Barack Obama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqTRuZDwm2M or http://www.yeswecansong.com
I find that it amazingly enough doesn’t cross the line into sappiness a la We are the world.
Can you help me list the celebrities in the video? I haven’t found a list on the internet.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing that.
I think it was well done - I like how he used words from Barak’s speeches.
This is at the end of the YouTube clip’s description:
Celebrities featured include: Scarlett Johansson, Tatyana Ali, John Legend, Herbie Hancock, Kate Walsh, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Adam Rodriquez, Kelly Hu, Adam Rodriquez, Amber Valetta and Nick Cannon
I think I also saw Harold Perrineu (sp?) from Lost. Was the bald white dude with the goatee Ed Kowalczyk from Live?
Should have checked my own links. The song now has an entry on Wikipedia and they mention both Ed and Harold, well done ZipperJJ
Man, are all those people really famous or am I getting old?
I “recognized” Tatyana Ali in that I knew I knew her but couldn’t place her - because I hadn’t seen her since she was a teen on Fresh Prince.
I didn’t recognize Herbie Hancock…he must be getting old too.
And I feel old for recognizing Ed Kowalczyk because I assume Live hasn’t done anything worth noting since I was a teen.
And…I couldn’t recognize Scarlett Johannson if she punched me in the face.
I feel bad not being able to recognize the figures who support the “young people’s candidate” 
Is it worth noting that the person that started this thread is from Sweden? If so, what exactly does that say?
Swedish pop music is getting stranger and stranger?
