David Cook tweaked Chris Cornell's arrangement of this song by Michael Jackson and made it better, if not the best cover of Billie Jean yet. Vocals, phrasing and delivery are astounding! Am actually having goosebumps right now!
CHRIS CORNELL ARRANGED THIS SUPERB. COOK DID IT BETTER. NOW THAT MJ IS NOMORE, THIS MAKES EVERYTHING SO MELANCHOLIC,BEAUTIFUL AS MJ WALKEDAWAY ALONE FADING BACK INTO THE SKY.
@sharapova4eva EVER is an infinite word, so please use it sparingly unless you have seen-heard them all. Chris Cornell, arranged it 2007 ? Davis just sings it better. The arrangement is the base here,so..... EVER....?

luvablegurl89 your youtube name even says gurl in it. You are a little girl. A grown up would not spell girl that way. only a kid. SO I am right. Also like I said. This guy "SUCKS". Awful job on this song. That is why he never made it on a play list on any radio station . HE SUCKS!
He's got 2 gold albums! How many do you have! It's all over youtube you know nothing about music! So keep your mouth shut until you learn something about music and learn about interpetation!

Guitardude, I think your a guitarqueer....The teen chicks and the queers are who voted this sad ass performer a win! So witch one are you? His singing "SUCKS".
OMG!!!!! This is so mesmerizing. The closeups are jaw-dropping. I damn near dropped my speaker next to my ear. My hands are still shaking. (I would love to have baby with David's eyes.) He is SOOOOOOO GOOD. Saw him in KC (4-22-09) & it's EMBEDDED in my mind. EVERYBODY should see him in concert. Amazing video. Amazing performer.
This is remarkable!! Where has it been hiding? I play it at least oncea day, and have a rainbow of emotions. Somebody said they need CPR after viewing - how true, how true!! DC will be around a long, long time.
Great video...cool effects and very eery watching it this week! : ) MJ would be very proud! Thanks '09Declaration' for the best live concert footage I've seen on here.
Thank you. This is so beautifully and professionally recorded.
Mmm, if someone had access to secret stash of pro videos, I wonder if there's a chance the Billie Jean from Providence and the Hello from Manchester might somehow make it on to Youtube? We would all love that person for it, I promise.
