DORIAN HOLLEY: we cant go on...
JUDITH HiLL: we are all a part of ...(more about her below)
ORIANTHI PANGARIS: we are the world

Judith Hill singing lead in "Heal The World".
"When the all-star Michael Jackson memorial ceremony in Los Angeles came to an end, millions of fans watching the event became curious about the young woman who sang lead on Jacksons Heal the World. The mystery singer was Judith Hill, a Pasadena, California-based vocalist who was recruited to be one of the backup singers for Jacksons This Is It! concerts at Londons O2 Arena. Hill wowed the crowd and the millions watching around the world with her rendition of the Dangerous song, but her identity had most viewers baffled — the We Are the World and Heal the World performers werent identified in the handouts at the Staples Center or on any other documents distributed to the press. According to the bio on Hills official Website, Judith was born in Los Angeles and raised in a family of musicians. Her mother is an immigrant from Japan who met her father in a funk band in the 1970s. Hill is described as discovering her love of music at an early age while growing up in a deeply religious household, which led her to attend the Christian university Biola University in Southern California. Hills bio says the singer next headed to France after graduation to perform with French singer Michel Polnareff. France is where I collected my stories, Hill writes. It was everything from finding true love, to sitting on the curb with gypsies, to running away from thugs (dont ask), to just taking in the beauty of such an amazing country. I came back rich. From there, Hill returned to the States, begin work on her own album (three songs are currently streaming on Hills MySpace page) and ultimately became a crew member on whats described as the biggest production in concert history, Michael Jacksons This Is It! concerts. On June 8th 2009, Hill announced on her official Website that she would be joining the cast of Jacksons run at Londons O2 Arena. Judith will be touring with Michael Jackson in a few weeks. You can catch her on stage in London at the 02 Arena, reads a post. Sadly, the This Is It! run was canceled, but Hill and her fellow crew members played an important role in MJ memorial service, and Hill will likely feature in the tribute concert AEG Live is reportedly planning using the This Is It! production."
