..I knEw it wasn't just me who thought "We Are The World" shouldn't have been remade. I think it's cool, I get that its for a casue but, some songs shouldn't be touched . I am not the only one that feels this way. Recent interview, Jay-Z revealed why he did not participate in the "We Are the World" remake to benefit Haiti:
"I have a interesting take on that," Jay-Z said. "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."
What do you think?
