I choose the old version of "We are the world" because of original blending. Michael Jackson was one of my idol and Stevie Wonders. The new one added a mix of rap and dedicate for Haiti earthquake.
Well I personally like the new one because it shows unity of various artists. It was also dedicated for a cause and I like how they made it modern and fit for our era. But anyway I also liked the old one since the new version won't be possible without it. But I like the new one MORE.
Definitely, it is the old version, by a mile. I don't think, I can listen to the new version without making the hair all over me stand. This is precisely, how you sabotage a very good song.
