After all the press coverage and buildup over the past two weeks, the 25th anniversary update of “We Are The World” finally premiered Friday during the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Jamie Foxx introduced the Paul Haggis-directed video for the charity song by asking viewers to “do more than just watch—reach deep into your hearts and give anything you can, as we have, for Haiti.”

Both the digital single and music video were added to iTunes Friday night, with proceeds going to Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Watch the full eight-minute-and-30-second clip—which features everyone from Pink and Justin Bieber to Barbra Streisand and Janet Jackson—below the jump.
