Lionel Richie said after the fact it was a mistake not including her. At the time they apparently thought her voice wasn’t good enough for any of the solo parts and asked Cindy Lauper instead. Which looking back is ironic given you had people like Dan Akroyd there.

She wasn't considered big at the time, cyndi lauper was bigger at the time and its politics like that

[ramonaoreskovich]

Who cares??? I love this song just the way it is, Cindy Lauper and all!

[Thisismysoul.]

Madonna was not allowed into Russia either. The concert was cancelled.

[tylergoodman]

I wish everyone could have been a part of it. Long live the king of pop and USA for Africa. ❤🎉

They pick Cindy lauper over her. They both could done it.

[GiGiO]

She could have been in the choir but she certainly doesn’t have the kind of impactful voice that Cyndi does.

[coolebrown]

She's got a great tone and voice and apparently it took the world 🌍 some getting used to....

Between Madonna and Cindy Lauper they decided Cindy was the best fit for the song, imagine those 2 crazy girls at the time, probably killing each other because the other one gets a better part, so they pick only one, it was that simple and I don't believe they were not wrong about it!!

Madonna and Prince SHOULD VE BEEN THERE.

[tashabothwell]

She would have been a million times better than huey Lewis

[donndelfin]

looking back at how they have age and matured im glad it was Cyndi.

[francosecchi]

She would have been problematic...and also, her voice would have had no impact on the record... Let's call a spade a spade...

[Musiover]

It’s 2024 and the MJ fans are still talking about Madonna and Prince not being on We are the world. You can’t be this bored.

[vsnider]

She always had a very ordinary voice. That’s what happened when you’re flawed your body to claim fame.
