Jay's Thoughts On "We Are The World" Remake

“We Are The World 25 For Haiti” made its debut before the start of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Jay-z feels as if it should have been left the way it was.
“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,” Jay told MTV.com. “But I think 'We Are the World' is like [Michael Jackson's] 'Thriller' to me. I don't ever wanna see it touched.”

"As everyone knows, I have tremendous respect for Quincy Jones. Of course, I think he's genius, as everyone else does. [But] I think it's time for us to make a new [song]."
“I tried to do that with 'Stranded,'" he explained. "I didn't try to make 'We Are the World,' but I tried to make our take on how we felt."

I agree with Jay! I like how everyone came together for a good cause, but I feel like they should have all made a new song, together! :)
