| Title / Band: We are the world by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie Reviewer: Mia ✶✶✶✶ We are the world raised more than $60 million for African famine victims in 1985. Jackson wrote it with Lionel Richie for weeks. Many famous singers joined this music video. They showed their compassion, sympathy and humanity. I like Michael Jackson's songs a lot. His songs have usually got good melodies and the lyrics are really interesting. For me, this song is the best of his. |
| Title / Band: Trống cơm (Vietnamese folk song) Reviewer: Paul ✶✶✶✶ Trống cơm is a folk song from the Red River Delta. Foreign tourists like the song very much when they visit Việt Nam.
