Billie Jean, The Civil Wars

[marlolisco]

very good voice.....amazing wow...i lke their voice...

[mdgroxx11]

aw.

[DelWhite]

I don't know... Joy William's has an incredible voice and is a really powerful singer. These guys are ok together, but I'm weary of their light and fluffy and breathless vocalization. Search for some of Joy's solo work and you'll know what I mean: We, Beautiful Redemption, Hungry (Falling On My Knees).

[karpaccho]

@DelWhite They more powerful that way- being "breathless"- than screaming their lungs out loud.

I've heard Joy Williams songs:not even close to what they are doing together

[snow6390]

Saw them perform this live at their Minneapolis show in November - awesome!

[mdbtptblw]

too dang cute!!

[HorseMyLife12]

I LOVE THESE GUYS

[eertayag]

Let my flapjacks burn to finish this video...still happy :)

[RolloH509]

Man what a unique cover by these guys awsome job,i wish other artist would brake the mold like these guys here... What an awsome band!!!!

[Laboudy1985]

i have never seen a happier woman in my life

[HausofBFFS]

Ok these guys are great but I admit I only found them through Taylor Swift's song Safe and Sound

[xTanculetzx]

22 dislike? WTF SO STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!

[KaitlinNiobe2012]

I truely love this. :D

[bjcreigh]

they should take it more seriously. Sell it. Its an awesome version so why turn it into a semi-joke by laughing all the way through it?

[javenism]

@bjcreigh Well, their concerts sell out weeks in advance so they probably have figured out how to play live...

[LoverElephant97]

sooo much better than the original! am addicted to this band, so unique and their chemistry together is just magical.

[MrNakedSquirrel]

better than mj's version?....i think so.

[Ynysybarri]

Inspired - I love it!

[VintageClass007]

Humour with great voices ....Outstanding...

[DoeIsMe]

I love how this song started as something just for fun and turned into something seriously genius.

[lezzliea]

That's how it should have been.

[mayorlondon]

well done!

[aaa151000]

thumbs up if only1noah brought you here =)

[Lastaccountgothacked]

The audience laugh

The duo stifle their own laughs

The bridge become infectiously happy.

[PilviKissa]

OMG John Paul White looks absolutely like Ville Valo back in the days!!!

[vandamandamn]

Amazing that this has not got more views..The Civil Wars are f...king genius....

[MrPaco305]

pretty good rendition of the King of Pop

[mlabutte]

Just saw them live in toronto. This was an encore - fantastic. If you see them live you will understand the laughs from the audience, they are very amusing with subtle gestures and body language - great pleasure to watch.

[koolaidkendra]

I don't get the laughing. Its hella good.

[0xOBIEx0]

@koolaidkendra They are acting like they are singing to eachother. That makes it funny . Look at Joy while he sings some of the lines about the girl :)

[AxjionAlesandres]

Their voices have such AMAZING chemistry.

[burtha3]

Yeah! Button it people!

[blahblahblahdd23]

MJ would be proud. Why the heck do they keep on laughing, good lord.

[Beautyinthesky]

I'm pretty sure that I'd absolutely love to be a part of a duo like this.

[0LittlemissLola]

does anyone know if this song is available for purchase anywhere?? i love their rendition... 

[Thewickeddragons]

0:00 <-- free replay button...you can thank me later

[metzDETROITmarvel]

saddest part about this video? the ring on her left hand... ='(

[ik107]

I love the way she says `in the round'

[S1N1STERSHIT]

Creating real art... woah !!! supeeerb

[diavollitza2k9]

Check and make sure you clicked the right button, dear dislikers. You're wither blind or deaf....

[rravenx]

[scottie2hottietfot]

Such an amazing cover!

[VladimMal]

Это одно из лучших исполнений Billie Jean!!!!!!!!!

[VladimMal]

Ай, молодцы - отлично поют!!!!!))))))))))))

[mentalmastertape]

[MarksMindBox]

@mentalmastertape It's called having fun. The band aren't exactly crying, are they?

[monkazoo24]

Wow, amazing!!!!!! I love their harmonies.....can't stop listening to them and their renditions of different songs.

[TheNicKenny]

Anyone know the picking style in this? I just can't get it quite right.

[ajcs1221]

Saw them live in Colorado, absolutely amazing. It's cool to see how much they enjoy what they do (evident in Joy's dancing)

[dsingo]

pretty good but Foy Vances cover is still my favourite

[PoetryAddict8]

[AshTheHippie]

I am in love with this song<3

[HKing2478]

[klaus0877]

they rocked this song hard

[klaus0877]

fuking amazing cover, they rocked this song hard

[clark8908]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! They way they act on stage, makes it very hard for me to belive they are not together. They can't keep their eyes of each other!!!! But like I was saying, LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

[hydr0city]

I love how they can't keep a straight face while doing this!

[edwinzuniga123]

[JamKar1]

@ladymckinney Audiences don't usually... until later.

[stpfan31]

i think by the end of the song the audience finally realizes "...holy fuck this is actually amazing"

[calebkid75]

@stpfan31 It's funny because they're really loud at the beginning, then right before the chorus they all shut their mouths in amazement.

[Bigard1Ashley]

i love michael jackson as much as the next person, so usually id be offended for somebody trying to recreate his awesomeness. but this is funny! i love how they changed the song! <3

[cindyrella83]

[selenanjerry]

[msfever24]

@selenanjerry Yeah, I was wondering what was so funny about it too!

[Harmalarmo]

this is my favorite cover by far

[ladymckinney]

I wonder if the people in the audience realized that they were wittnessing the start of something so GREAT?

[flowflix]

@ladymckinney Some of us did!

[SuperHippiemomma]

@flowflix amazing



[helvey83]

this is great but look up chris cornell's version of billie jean its amazing.

[lysalessi]

@ladymckinney

Strange, the audience giggling--not getting that this is a sultry turn on the pop mega hit. I share your wonder--and admiration for these two. :)

[SheGonCountry]

[AnnaK40]

As much as I love Chris Cornell, JP's voice sounds much better! great version

[metzDETROITmarvel]

I don't think they're having enough fun =]

[AnnieStaceGaga1]

Woah. I'm in love. <3

[JacobFCO]

and this was their first performance ever. Simply amazing

[flowflix]

@JacobFCO I'm not sure how many performances happened b4 this one, but at least two. Their 1st show was at The French Quarter Cafe in East Nashville, TN in early '09.  Their 2nd show was at Eddie's Attic on 4-24-09. It was recorded & forever preserved as the Live at Eddie's Attic free download. This was their 2nd Attic show, 11-21-09, and it happened a week or so after Poison & Wine aired on Grey's Anatomy.

[JacobFCO]

@flowflix Ok, I thought this was the first Eddies Attic show. I always understood that was their first show and they had put it on CD

[flowflix]

@JacobFCO I would love to know how many shows (if any) happened between the first Attic show in April and this second one in November. I imagine there were probably a handful in Tennessee and/or Alabama. Billie Jean was not on the download from the first Attic show, so you may be absolutely correct that this is their first (or certainly one of their first) performances of this song! Same with From the Valley.

[TetraDodecaMan]

His falsetto is one of the best I've ever heard...

[SuperHandlebar]

awesome

[CourtyardPigeon]

I was hoping she would marry me...but since she has a diamond ring on the size of a car tire, I suppose that's not going to happen

[dabruzah]

This is the best stripped down group i have ever seen, who needs a full band when you are blessed with the gift of voice ... I love these humans

[201009az]

Amazing!!!!

[airamlara]

Never quite been the MJ fan but I do love when other artists do covers of his songs and this is one of the best I've heard. Love it!

[SarahRaven2892]

Amazing....

[glittapaint24]

Oh how I love cover songs!

[DolchOM]

Haha they -barely- look alike. It's just his facial hair.

[TheHipofiz]

perfect !

[Slapmastaoffunk]

TASTY

[BigHutch70]

I would've paid some damn good money to be in that room when they did this.

[mamacita314]

LOVE IT!

[hellsbells3084]

They are WAY beyond country....

[llallyjohnsonll]

I love how she looks at him

[sosbourn]

this made me smile

[QueenElizabeth021]

Nice!! 

[cmurph570]

i just got chills down my spine listening to this. amazing.

[justbelieve676]
