[volleyballluver1995]

[RBGTHUG]

sha'mon, he heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[frosti0408]

he sounds so close like MJ 0.o

[myowntruth44]

HOLY SHIT. WOW. MAD CHILLZ!! CREDIT IS DUE ON THIS COVER... ON POINT

[FreestyleEntOnline]

the music could better...the instrumental ... but the vocalsss are wooooooooww

[rebk1228]

Very nice! I'm a diehard MJ fan but this guy has a smooth, sexy voice. Remember that MJ had been singing professionally for over 20 years when he recorded this song so please, don't compare. The Weeknd's voice will eventually become even more refined, but he has the natural talent, no doubt about it!!

[58dirtydiana]

omg *.* wonderful....*spechless* ♥

[newportking3]

1, yes the weeknd does sound a little like MJ. 2, of course he could never hit the same notes the same way. MJ was bread for making music. The Weeknd is..how do you say.. a late bloomer vocally

[DrizzyDrakeIHeart]

i usually don't like michael jackson covers but this one. omg the weeknd killed it :)

[PrincessTeeBreezy]

He is talented, I'm always O_o when people do versions of Michael song. Nobody can do them likeMike. Michael vocal in the song were INSANE. no technology altering his voice, just him, his heart, passion & a studio. He is and will always BE the KING.

[beccheri]

autotune

[rachelana28]

Man I love this! His voice is amazing and at first I seriously thought it was Michael!

[Thriilzzz]

This is The Weeknds cover of Dirty Diana which is on his mixtape Echoes Of Silence.

The owner of this channel DID NOT sing this.

Got any opinions on this cover? Tweet the weeknd: @theweekndxo

[NOVAC2012]

woooow, dude its very very good. first time i've heard it, i thought its only a remix of MJ because its like MJ's voice! FUCK! then i've read that its a cover an i only thought FUCKIN' UNBELIEVABLE!!! soo good, dude ;) like it ;) i dont understand those fuckin 33 dislikes :O greets from germany :-)

[zachzurn]

Fucking love this!

[BmoresDurtyBird]

Good effort, but the "sleeping with me" part sucked donkey nutts

[MsAngel703]

I like this turns me out (;

[BeeNSez]

i really dont understand, why peopl always dislike Videos with is the Best Videos with good quality? why did they do that??? i mean U and other great singers dont deserve dislikes... i dont really get it... 33 dislikes just why???

[BeeNSez]

Great Cover!!! so Professional....! :)))) i love the tone of your voice....mmmh :)

[MrzGdisisreal]

very good cover! I know you know u will never be or sound just like mj and its all good. you made the song your own and Ithink u did a great job!

[xxcashtheking]

This is equivalent to Ja Rule rapping a 2Pac verse.

[Freshustle]

Nice tribute, solid cover but its lacking the passion. I feel anyway. If you're doing MJ you have to bring an extreme level of passion.

[honiibunches15]

Love it !!

[shannababyxoxo]

..heck I liked it!

Some will hate some will love. Fuck you gon do bout it.. Just keep doing yo thing man. IT.SOUNDS. GREAT. ❌⭕❌⭕👌

[loopmer]

NEXT MJ....

[LittleMonsterx17]

@sufjansays I still believe its a piece of crap because he don't even sound like himself and ill let go of the past but ill never let go of mjs music because the fact of the matter is modern ain't nothing but dublicates.

[johannawun]

He Sounds EXACTLY like MJ . Amazing < 3 

[LanzoEmilia]

he has a similar voice but michaels was way stronger it sounds like this guys voice is just gonna break every time he has to do a higher note which is alot.

[eohippus8]

michael would be so proud! both covers have unique styles like this version IS UP THERE but i cant help but love the original, but i respect the weekend for doing this! <3 nice 8 stars.

[ANasty75]

Every video i see of the weeknds, somone is always talking about fucking SHEEEIT. great song though (=

[calichula08]

this is nice, enough said.

[rakesh445]

dont mess with the king

[babybon1]

I would fuck to this song ❤👍💏

[lildood45]

He went in micheal would b proud I think

[Pat123123123]

Lol you fags saying the original is better.. Makes me laugh. Music isnt a competition and its subjective. Youre worse than the rock fags foolishly debating which guitarist is better or the fake gangster fags debating which rapper is the best. Everyone contributes to music in their own way but who cares, my hands aint shaking

[RaidenCrow]

@Pat123123123 Marry me

[MrAvery3531]

The original is way better

[Gentleazi]

@MrAvery3531 yeah .. who cares if it is? rofl do you want a bag of chocolate money for ur statement? retard.

[davebobstevejo]

Amazing cover of an amazing song by the most spectacular artist of the twentieth century. Appreciation for this. The Weekend is talent, say no more.

[sXenatexXx]

This is far from sounding like mj

[BritishKidTeamUK]

Weeknd needs to be careful, they'll have him singing the next set of MJ albums at this rate lol.

[noshah26]

in the first place i thought that was MJ ,, !!!

[swaggsosick22]

SOMEBODY! tell me this man don't sound just like michael when he goes "you'll never make me stay so take your weight off of me"!??

[pcarr92153]

This is a very good cover, Done well weeknd..Cant stop listening, Sounds like Michael at the start aswell...Love it <3

[xxalliexriotxx]

that sounds EXACTLY like michael jackson

[SoDramatical]

I love this!

[Puppetmaster195skc]

All Of You Need To Stop. He isn't trying to be like Michael. The Orginal artist will never be replaced so quit the wining.

This is a tribute

[wakemeupinclass]

I like his voice but I don't like this cover

[rachie100100]

beautiful voice....

[TmHj011]

He did an amazing job covering this song! You guys who are leaving ignorant comments such as "He can't compare to MJ," We know! He did a cover and sounds great accept it and move on with life! If you're going to criticize his cover… Go criticize all the people who do cover's on MJ's songs! Clearly you guy's see he sounds good so you felt the need to bash his cover! Reminder: Please realize the other 1/2 million people who covered a MJ song!

[rtsib]

@TmHj011 agreed- people just want a chance to say something negative, doesnt matter if they just say it just to say it...anyway, when is drake gonna do a cover of mj!

[pengwan415]

@TmHj011 UR REALLY GOOD I THINK UR BETTER THAN MJ BY ALOT :) keep making music ur really good

[LittleMonsterx17]

I'd be really pissed if children of the modern day grow up hearing this song and never knowing who originally made it, would think this peace of crap is the original ughh annoying I can't listen much more, I am going to explode!

[SufjanSays]

@LittleMonsterx17 You're calling one of the best producers and R&B acts in music today a peace of crap? MJ was a landmark, but get out of the past. There's so much great music now, just dig.

[LittleMonsterx17]

He literally sound like someone is pushing him off a clift. His voice is quite annoying ! In the beginning , the only part I like is one he say "No" that's it! Like it sounds like he's trying to hard to sing like mj he sounds like a little bitch! Mj please come back! Music isn't the same.

[lovevilly]

Wilson Bethel sent me here:)

[donxcore]

I still think House of Balloons is still the best mixtape out of the 3

[IllyRock]

@donxcore I too believe House of Balloons triumphs over the others of the series and not just because it was the first. The overall feel of it is just..... Anyway, I'm currently creating a music video for this cover, I just love it. Hope The Weeknd gets to see it

[LadiiLalo]

i love it

i love his head voice

[ToastyMcToastyToast]

As great as it is, nothing beats the original anything. Its awesome but the original is still better.

[tonie32]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[dewizle]

I really like this!  Good job.

[tenaciousE21912]

This is a great cover, I love how all the MJ fans are flipping a shit over this. If you REALLY liked the music then you would appreciate both for what they are. MJ would love this dude.

[killakid8000]

sldhfgkjhieurhkjsfbvkhsif Is what I just said when I finished listening to this...AWESOME!

[TheFreshspidey]

omffgomfgomfgomffomfg amazing!

[zyset]

[rubiofootage]

[Baybyygirl92]

[TheJbeezybitch]

This is so fucking crazy amazing!

[KRUX006]

[akspitta26]

@KRUX006 dont listen then u bitch. this is greatness at its best.

[KRUX006]

@akspitta26 u mad... like i said this is SHIT. so fuck u

[TheJbeezybitch]

This dude is amazing!! No homo

[TheFreshspidey]

@TheJbeezybitch why'd did you say this is amazing "no homo" ; that legit made no sense..

[jaylan91839]

Its better than mj..

[LFCMJFEVER]

nice autotune

[tenaciousE21912]

@LFCMJFEVER There's no auto tune on this cover. It's just his voice and reverb.

[ThaShit1993]

fukn sick



[SwaggasauresRex1]

goosebumps! 

[Ikeebonbon]

I liked this cover, weeknd didn't ruin it. But I prefer the original because it was more upbeat. But that's just me.

[Cptkirk94]

I'm a SERIOUS MJ Fan...and i really like the Weeknd...but when i hear someone...ANYONE is doing an MJ cover...i start the song off WANTING to hate it SOOOO BAD...and most of the time i'm unfair in judging it....but this time...i can't even deny that this is a VERY GOOD cover..A+ Mr. Weeknd

[NiNiBailey07]

Ahhhh .. The Weekends Voice <33333 '

[lilt2795]

Woah Woah Woah you guys are going to far he will never be better than the King 

[rayford8605]

trey songs wouldve done better

[CHRUSHIN]

@rayford8605 i doubt that i mean if you never knew who this was at the beginning you would've thought this was unrelease that MJ himself did sort of like a modern dirty diana and trey songz could never sound this close to MJ like The Weeknd did.

[gljletsplay]

I'm sorry but mjs version can't touch this ones

[shanalada1]

WHO produced this?

[dreamer368]

can't pick which one i like better! the weekend's or MJ's!! Both are amazing!

[severussnape5]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

[severussnape5]

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh

[thecalling22]

AMAZING MAN!

[fruitbat816]

i really like the tone of his voice

[ClassyDesire12]

He sings in his on way , nobody can replace Micheal Jackson EVER !

[Mariodupree]

Its a good remake. He didn't over do it, it was done tastefully with just enough to make it his own.

[badnigga4life1]

this is H.O.R.R.I.B.L.E.!!!!!!!!!!

[cbreezy220]

ew, he does not sound like Michael, yet does it even sound good.

Sounds like he's trying to hard. My opinion though.

[GettingWorkDone]

@cbreezy220 ur opinion is retarded

[cbreezy220]

@GettingWorkDone K BYE. gtfo. fuck THIS DUDE, HE AIN'T NOBODY. Michael Jackson is the best, fuck the rest. :D

[0FWGKTADGF]

If you ask me, I think that The Weeknd killed this, and yeah, We know that this isnt Michael Jackson, blablabla. Get over it..

[TheRealATLnigga]

@0FWGKTADGF shut yo bitchazz up ho blablabla dese nuts

[ragger2454]

@TheRealATLnigga ur a fucking idiot shut up



[CiscoTheOmega]

At certain points this song sounds like a remix and not a cover...... Damn.

[Heroine05]

Anyone have a download for this yet? I love it!

[74cwade]

@Heroine05 Hotnewhiphop

[InsanelySaneIdiot]

I miss the snow button :(



[MAL0UDA15]

Awsome! Make africa proud bro, ethopia and eritrea are with you!

[weditekle013]

@MAL0UDA15 elelelelelelelelelelelelelele

[MrCapCaz]

It's okay. It just doesn't grabs me like Michael's version does. Okay overall.

[jorly210]

You can hear the auto tune. Never did I say he wasn't a good singer. And there's no reason for the insults.

[iTmoneyy]

for everyone who don't music this his is real voice no autotune no voice tricks just a really good singer who knows what the FUCK he's doing, not better the M.J. himself but he did a damn good job, point..... blank..... period!!!

[chicree89]

this dude is BOSS!!! if only MJ was alive to hear this,i kno he wuda been impressed

[byronTquinn]

it takes balls to cover mj.. but he's got the voice for it and did a great job with this

[CarmenSantiago1992]

@xeverxsincexevex And honestly that's something you should respect. Whether you like it or not, I don't think this version is better. I love this version and The Weeknd...I give him credit. But a better version? No. But I respect your opinion. End of story.

[CarmenSantiago1992]

@xeverxsincexevex I understand that as well sir, I'm young not stupid. I know that people make covers all the time and it sounds better than the original artist. Believe it or not, I actually agree with you on that part. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And in my opinion it WAS a great cover, but WAS NOT greater than MJ's version. Just because people are saying it wasn't better, doesn't mean people are "dick riding". It just means that people have a certain opinion about it.

[victorrattigan]

It's a real challenge to cover a legend, cause you know that million people will compare this to the original. I really really love this version!

[man012able]

Too much studio work and not enough emotions. Great production but terrible vocals.

[xeverxsincexevex]

@man012able like are you crazy? how are his vocals terrible? he does have emotion in this song, his vocals are spot on, unfortunately i think you are just a hater, i would like to see you put up a video of a cover of this song since you obviously think you can do better

[man012able]

@xeverxsincexevex Like I said the production is GREAT but vocally the emotions just aren't really there. It doesn't capture the story telling as MJ did. Weeknd doesn't have a strong voice so the beat over powers his vocals. My opinion. No need to get sensitive.

[NASTiiCHiiCA]

a little too much of the weird voice thingy(idk what it's called) but i like it... he sounds pretty good on this :)

[jrockthenation]

Still doesn't top MJ but, i like it

[lauratefiz]

OVOXO :D

[CarmenSantiago1992]

This was really good. Best cover of this song I've heard. But saying its better than MJ's original version is going above and beyond the necessary. Its a great cover but not better than MJ's. His is on a level of its on that can't be touched. Not even tapped.

[southernMadeA11Star]

@CarmenSantiago1992 indeed....or even seen

[xeverxsincexevex]

@CarmenSantiago1992 in my opinion i like his version better than MJ's to me this has more feeling and a better baseline to it, I understand people are rideing MJ's nuts, hes a great performer and did awesome songs, but sometimes people do them better than the artist rather you want to admit it or not, it does eventually happen, so on this song MJ was beat to me atleast, and to some other people thats just how it works

[iBeLiEvEYhU]

If you guys "think" he sounds like MJ, go listen to Robert Alexander. Now HE foreal, really sounds like MJ.

[xShifting]

michael jackson brought me here

[babbii3cakez7695]

yooo he did amazing i love this song < i love the weeknd :P fav. song  #stop being a hater

[jokerj1232]

19 people eithier can't sing or can sing but couldn't never sound as good as this without auto-tune!

[mocamariee]

Jesus Christ, I would seriously rape the hell out of his voice if that was possible.

[sexualchocolate12100]

@mocamariee i am his voice. rape me.

[wrestlemania665]

damn he killed i t :)

[amorec16]

Like ok, he is not Michael, but what are you doing? sitting on your butt and typing up here. He does thing called working. peace and happy 2012 :)

[TheeAuthenticKai]

Hes pretty good but the ones of u who think this is better than the original are crazy and deaf i mean this guy is auto tuned the mess out... And even if he wasn't nobody is better than the King! RIP MJ

[saintben2008]

this is soooooo good

[godisapropernoun]

PBR&B.



[BandoyBMX]

u sound like mike's twin

[MsHoodFigga]

zero auto tune you bastard @jorly210

[MPunkRockV]

The weeknd is killing it!

[jorly210]

Autotune much?

[ChakirraKrystina]

@jorly210 it's not lol

[dickbourg]

fuckin awesome cover. nuff said

[TheMiguelSuave]

wow



[RCFLYHIIGH]

give credit where its due,,this is a great cover

[jscars19]

Mj is dead ppl

[Ema21x]

I usually hate covers, but this is IMPRESSIVE. I'm very pleasantly surprised. I'm gonna go check out who the singer for The Weeknd is, cuz he did a great job. Obviously Michael's was better, but this was refreshing to hear. I like this rendition very much. Like I said, I'm impressed. :)

[terrellrocks1]

i agree with chialshere93



[wonekawa]

how can you dislike this? awesome...mj would be proud!

[holamiamigo1]

This is really good *claps obnoxiously*

[ChiaIsHere93]

Now i've heard so many covers of mj songs, and he did an AMAZING job i love the weekend ever MORE now <3 <3

[ChiaIsHere93]

@ChiaIsHere93 but im not saying its better then the original, OBVIOUSLY IT ISNT but its a fucking good cover though :)

[PersisTV]

mj's version is on a wholllllleeee 'n other level
