Cornell's voice and style is what I call a God given gift. A brillian rendition of MJ's master piece, unique voice unique talent, perfectly done...an entirely different song but still the same "Billie Jean".
Are you people nuts???? This cover is a joke! I love Sound Garden and think Chris is a fantastic singer but this sounds like complete crap. After hearing this trash I feel like popping my ear drums with a screwdriver.
esta musica é muito linda....em qualqyer versão ela ficou ótima...nem um cantor dve imitar o outro por isso acho ki ficou fantastico...ameiiiiiiiiiiii
@Tara20052 That's 'cause Chris is a professional and knows that he couldn't do it like the original so why try and sound retarded. So he re-wrote the song to accommodate to his vocal range.
holy shit.....his voice is insane. I would have never guessed that such a poppy song would sound good like this, but this is almost better than the original
It's clear that he's really good, to take an extremely pop song of Michael Jackson and make it an extremely rock song you need to have talent! but I can not help it I love a lot more the voice and the performances of David Cook ...
This is the worst shit I've heard in years and I've heard a Bieber/Gaga mashup. I love Superunkown but this makes me question why I ever listened to Soundgarden,
@fetaldropkick first of all, this isn't soundgarden this is Chris Cornell, completely different so you can't listen to Chris Cornell and expect to hear Soundgarden unless you're fucking dumb enough to have a name like fetaldropkick.... so bottom line is you don't really know what the hell you're talking about hence, hinting at the fact that this is worse than a Justin Bieber/Lady Gaga song... you need to stop commenting on shit you don't know anything about...
@fetaldropkick AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's funny shit man... the fact that you can't or won't argue/discuss a simple topic proves that you are the dumbass that I happen to know that you are... So "BYE" Jack ass!!!!
Let the little kids hate on this cover their too foolish to fully understand what soulful power and style he brought to this song, This is pure quality.
Sounds like a mash-up of Billy Jean & Metallica's Nothing Else Matters or Depeche Mode's Clean (the studio version). I like it when artists do covers in a different style. A lot of times it can backfire right into their faces, but this one is sublime.
He totally owns every song he decides to sing, i mean you can't talk about better or worse version, cause he makes a totally different song when covering.
What a great cover, not many people can cover an MJ song and get away with it but this is one of the best covers going. Not everyone will like Chris Cornell due to music differences but if you are a true fan of music you have to agree that this is a top quality cover song done very uniquely.

This Is Off The Topic,
I Wanted To Ask Someone A Question,
After Reading Chris Cornell's 'Wikipedia' The Other Day I Came His 'Music Publishing Company' Called:
'You Make Me Sick I Make Music'
Is He For Real? Or Is Sombody Just Messing Around With His Wikipedia?
If Anyone Could Comment Back That Would Be Really Great!!
