Will.i.am Turns Barack Obama Speech Into Music Video

As the race for the US presidency hots up a host of stars have thrown their behind Barack Obama by creating a music video based on one of his speeches.

The project was the brain child of Black Eyed Peas man will.i.am who created the ‘Yes We Can’ video which features the likes of Scralett Johansson and Herbie Hancock.

The video was shot by Jesse Dylan, son of Bob, and takes its inspiration from a speech Obama made following his New Ha,pshire primary win.

Speaking about the project will.i.am said: "I'm blown away by how many people wanted to come and be a part of it in a short amount of time.

"It was all out of love and hope for change and really representing America and looking at the world."

In the video the stars of music, sport and film continually repeat the line “Yes we can” along with Obama.
