Does This Not Strike You As BLOWN!?

I just read about this on Billboard. Does this not strike you as a really bad idea?

Michael Jackson could sing some of the prayers written by the late Pope John Paul, the head of the music company coordinating the project said today (Feb. 6). Father Giuseppe Moscati of the Edizioni Musicali Terzo Millennio, which specializes in church music and organizes musical events at the Vatican, said his company had the rights to 24 of Pope John Paul's prayers and wanted to put together a group of international artists to set them to music. "We have been contacted by people close to Michael Jackson who have expressed interest and we are thinking about it," Moscati said.

I admit, I don't really want to hear or see Michael Jackson do anything these days, but the idea of him singing Catholic prayers strikes me as more than a little, uh, creepy. Just go back to dangling Blanket and Paris out the window of your hotel, Michael! That's far more interesting.
