Jay-Z Say No To We Are The World Remake

The new version of
We Are The World
finally debuted on Friday during the opening ceremonies at the Olympics. And although everyone’s intentions to remake it were good, the new song has gotten some mixed reviews, with many thinking the original should have remained untouched.

One of those is
Jay-Z
, who admitted:

    “I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: ‘We Are the World,’ I love it, and I understand the point and think it’s great. But I think ‘We Are the World’ is like [Michael Jackson’s] ‘Thriller’ to me. I don’t ever wanna see it touched.

    I’m a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that’s going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but ‘We Are The World’ is [musically] untouchable like ‘Thriller’ is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it’s gonna be untouchable.”
