[willhoverman]

That mic sold for $2400 on ebay,...

[gustavocovarrubias1]

i want to make love to him

[Caltron15]

Straight up soulful. brilliant cover. and whoever said aloe's vocal range is limited is obviously deaf. because of the style of the song he didn't need to use it.

[justydaboy]

You're voice costs more than one dollar<3

[ampiebo]

♥ this beautiful song! ♥ you!!!

[cihapsaba89]

guessin by that microphone, that he got that 1$...a bit more judging by the instruments :D

[doctorjekyll2000]

[AlovesMJ]

[homzie1000]

could be the rum or could be the voice but i got a tingly kind of feeling probably a mixture of both

[KingProduZa]

[theByrdmanpdx]

Too bad haters feel the need to bother disliking this video. Yes, it is not the original. Big effin deal. Dude's still got rare soul.

[stephonglzz]

It isn't magic its just talent like how I have drumming talents.

[nz9425]

WOW! Blown away every time I listen to this...... magic!

[setyoursights2north]

Infinitely better than the original. No doubt.

wimp.com/billiejean/

[sideshowdee]

OHHHHHH MY GOD!!!!! This is incredible. . . How have I missed this for well over a year!! WTF. . .

[brooklynsweb]

I HIT this so hard, the table cracked! I then stole it for my next DJ set,  like the wallet that fell on the floor...

[deepsouthsounds]

seriously GoOd cover! well done aloe,---those 90 dislike voters, you suck! i bet your all m.j "fans" too.

[JJJBuzzsaw]

I am not a big Michael Jackson fan, well, not a fan at all really, but this cover is INCREDIBLE. 90 people are off their rockers for sure!

[rossangeles]

The green "like" bar has a tiny red pimple. Thanks everybody!

[munichbassa]

from time to time i get so excited on youtube vids i have to curse at them:

This *§$%&&% is a &%§"&% master piece.

thanks!

[changyeamoon]

the sex must be great.

[ALB3RTR0S]

Wow u da man

[CraigBMM]

captivating .. smooooooooooth .. and very very enjoyable. bravo

[MrTannee]

mam oh ma this is just awesome...superb rendition...just love this very much...choice....tannee

[AB220]

@ Gazzo. And I care because...?? "artist(s)" who depend on doing "covers" to be recognized...ha!

[AB220]

This isn't good at all - Amateur Broadway Poetic Justice!

Almost ALL of Michael Jackson's song are very Hard to do a cover on. Wanna be starting something, Dirty Diana, and many more are extremely hard for others to sing. Therefore, most people who do covers don't sound good at all.

Aloe. Is better off singing the classics like the Temptions. He's trying too hard since he's voice doesn't have many vocal range

[gazzomuso1235]

@AB220 Thank god his voice is better than your English. Don't even get me started on your opinion.

[75drums]

Respect !

[Mangoonism]

great song. does anybody know any other artist like this? like chilled back and easy going.

[nanone02]

gran version de una gran voz...

[Hearsticles]

He could do a great version of "Aint No Sunshine" though, especially when his voice takes on those Bill Withers qualities like on "I Need a Dollar".

[ARTISSTIC]

Every fucking song I listen by this talented dude Aloe Blacc, I always get boosebumps is that normal?

[mirkowarnke]

not bad at all....i love this version actually

[MartinFairtex]

this is so cool it makes my soul tingle

[saveplanetpluto]

that voice is divine. And he uses it right. Love it.

[gnouyer]

can this be bought on iTunes?

[D0wN2EaRthDiva]

is it wrong that I like this almost as much as the original

[Balle1845]

wow this is..... Aloe Black..... this is wow

[leahniamh1]

absolutely luv him ツ

[thisIStheARTofRUIN]

my god this guy's amazing, great band behind hiim too, amazing sound

[Lovelives4everMJ]

(Hey andoii1332! It is spelled "synthesizer". :))

Now to the song: I love "Billie Jean" and it's a nice version. Although it's a little bit too jazzy (in my opinion). But I like Aloe Blacc, support that guy!

Even though Michael Jackson will be the best artist for all times, that's clear! <3

R.I.P. We love u! <3 <3 <3

[andoii1332]

Finaly some that works without syntheseyzer(I didn`t get any idea how it is written right)

[yoshi69me]

he's raw as fuck

[BBoy2Galoo]

@yoshi69me yet very clean

[buggablues]

Cool sound, don't change.

[lasicnotemo]

I love how people are saying this is crap, just because it's a Michael Jackson song. People don't like it, just because it's a cover.

[Coolie220]

YOOOOOOO!!!

[DFIdiots]

crap

[444Gerrard444]

@DFIdiots I'd like to see you do better son. Aloe blacc is amazing. I suggest that you shut up and maybe you try singing then compare it with aloe blacc, you wont be calling him rubbish then will you.

[MrPanSzymon]

Bob Marley + Michael Jackson = Aloe Blacc

[TheYates100]

@MrPanSzymon Calm yourself

[trippergreenfeet]

Brilliant / very smooth.x

[ObviousBadnewz]

This needs to be on iTunes so I can listen to it wherever I want. :)

[JulienDelay]

fuck version, nobody can cover the songs from Michael Jackson.

Fucking shit

[MrFurysocks]

@JulienDelay Watch your mouth sonny, this is what music used to sound like before it got destroyed by the likes of justin beiber and all that crap!

[TheBluesharpoon]

@MrFurysocks Thats the truth! Julien needs to expand his mind a tad.

[fercarla100]

grande actuação no Cascais Cool Jazz 2011 !

[OubiiVain]

Aloe Blacc and Ryan Leslie are saving the music industry one awesome performance at a time : ]

[mohhyahia]

If i had alot of money,, i would start up a record lable, and distribution company just for Aloe Blacc

[choreandawg]

O______________O

[tonyflowAnd4m]

I think i'm going to be bigger fan of blues then before after this performance!!!

Pure music!!!

[webspirits]

Echt super.

[donierja]

only Aloe Blacc can make blues from Michael Jackson

[LiamAWade]

Anyone know what mic he is using?

[soundnachmass]

@LiamAWade

HEY, they used a sony c-37 fet! a very cool classic condenser !  best regards from Hamburg !

[soundnachmass]

@LiamAWade srry c 37 a



[hrabiaimistrzprzemek]

that is what it should be played on the radio

[vitr0vision]

incrible!



[rhart49]

This is just incredible such a good cover

[REALextraterrestrial]

yeah, it would be fucking amazing if he did Aint No Sunshine but then he would automatically be compared to those old kind of singers and become a stereotype and feel more pressure to live up to them - he is still exploring and showing refreshing new ideas without being associated with old legends. he's a new legend in himself doing his own thing. x

[KptKrondog]

meh, i like chris cornell's cover of it better

[steveco1970]

There are 75 idiots out there!

[DANIEL1109ify]

Why cover a song if you're going to do a shitty job? The secret is cover something that isn't universally famous and loved, something slightly under the radar, that way people won't be comparing you to the original that you have no chance of matching... let alone improving. I'm jus' sayin'.

[watchinshadows]

Excellent version, something like Sam Cooke would have done if he was still around.

[karenstube]

sexxxy cover!!!

[SportmanCrew]

This guy makes me fucking twist on my chair ........

[dyork2006]

got more soul than a sock with a hole

[KyleWB1989]

227 thumbs ups! Thanks Guys!!!

[kirstukas19]

this cover of billie jean is my favourite, probably the only one

[lukeliang1989]

this is brilliant....!

[TheChinoMafia]

Amazing cover!....Talented!

[hghgfhhgify]

One legend dies and another is born

[BeatBay]

@hghgfhhgify bullshit! he is a dope singer. thats all. nothin less nothin more.

[96Taker]

@BeatBay And you should learn what is music.

#GrandScheme you are awesome =)

[provinceofcyrodiil]

@hghgfhhgify He was alive probably 20 years before MJ died.

[farc1993]

Awsome

Great talent you have

[thesethkane]

this versions a little bit more my style

[rukiz06]

I want to make man love to his face... yes man love...the sticky funky type of love a straight man gives another man when they hit you with a wall of soul and fuckalicious music :)

[IrishEggroll]

Proof that the Music Industry still has a pulse.

[egdapo]

@IrishEggroll well said

[willhell100]

Right On

[jms444]

This man is totally, utterly awesome. I'm happily stunned.

[IIIPhuZeIII]

[JS90blue]

are they cracked?

[bahaanaldo]

Why are people commenting top rated comments in other Aloe Blacc videos? So confusing.

[TheIcecreamPeople00]

Micheal jacksons rolling over in his grave to try and listen better.

[thoughtmc007]

If you don't know, check out Aloe's older Emanon tracks with the incredible Exile as producer. The album Imaginary Friends is one of my top 10 Hip-Hop albums of ALL TIME!!!

[leaveitplease]

@thoughtmc007 dude i cant thank you enough, been listening to exile since i found "below the heavens" by blu & exile ( in my top 5 hip hop albums) a few yrs ago, and only recently found out about aloe.......and now you tell me they got a whole album together!?! im off to check it out.......im actually excited!!!lol thanks again

[moella11]

I like this guy, shits all over neyo chris brown and all the other little puffs out there nowadays. But not too sure about choice of song tho :s perhaps al green cover temptations maybe... ??

[donahue37]

"His name is Aloe Blacc, and he's here to save music."

[nbastar1356]

this guy is one of the best in all the time

[MrTaylorClint]

Too much soul. Happy someone with this voice has broken into mainstream.

[donahue37]

Bill Withers pt. II

[corie2326]
