Yes We Can!
We all know about stars like Barbra Streisand and Jane Fonda actively campaigning for their favored political parties, but this year’s presidential campaign will probably go down in history as having the most celebrity participation of all time. From Oprah (who unarguably holds a lot of clout for her daily viewers) to Samuel L. Jackson, Hollywood certainly seems to love Barack Obama. And now comes a music video by will.i.am, singer of The Black Eye Peas, “Yes We Can” and “We are the Ones” that are based on Obama’s speeches.
Originally released in YouTube and Dipdive.com, the songs feature cameos by several celebrities who support Barack Obama. “Yes We Can” even won an Emmy for Best New Approaches in Daytime Entertainment, and won a Webby Award for will.i.am as “Artist of the Year”. It is now being promoted as a viral video on Obama’s campaign website. You can check out more about the songs in Wikipedia.
