Approximately 80 of music’s biggest names gathered on February 1, 2010 to remake the 1985 charity classic “We Are The World,” in an effort to raise funds for earthquake-ravaged Haiti. “We Are The World: 25 For Haiti” made its debut during the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics on Friday night — but at least one music notable would have liked to see the anthem remain “untouched.”

“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,” rap mogul Jay-Z told MTV.com at the “2 Kings” dinner during NBA All Star Weekend in Dallas on Saturday night.

“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,” Hov continued. “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.”
