I've always known that there was a certain measure of luck behind those who become starts. I mean nothing against them. I just know so many really talented people.
Just as the web democratizes information, so too (it seems) it democratizes talent. The original "We are the World" was a hit when I was in college (and yes, some us actually wore those hair styles....well, maybe not the Cindy Loper --and she had the best). That was the era of Michael Jackson's Thriller. This time the song was re-cut by a new set of artists (I downloaded it but have yet to actually view it). AND, a second new-version, or a third-total version (are you keeping count) has appeard.
This version is a compilation of YouTube signing stars (OK, honestly, I did not know there was such a thing). It is really cool, not just because these people can sing, but because of the way it was made: Your computer is not just a machine, it's a portal to the world.
