This is disgusting. Whatever greedy and seedy shit is going through the head of the producers, this isn't respectful nor appropriate as an homage to the artist's life or the art form. Get a good talented star that can both act and sing and pay her lavishly to interpret Piaf in the biopic. Piaf's soul and memory would be more solemnly honored by the young people entering the art learning and singing her songs than by a cold heartless machine making a pantomime of what a human sounds like.
