  • If Paul McCartney outbid MJ for the rights to his songs and he was blubbering about what a big, fat meanie Paul is, there ain't no way in hell you fans would tell Michael, “Hey, cheer up loser! Its only business!” You nuts would mob up and storm PMcC's gate, demanding he give poor widdle Mikey his songs back and if he didn't, you would threaten McCartney's life!

    Then Paul would release his attack dogs and that would be the end of that!!

  • I was watching the Beatles on Ed Sullivan and all they were doing was performing their songs.

    No light show, no lasers, no pyrotechnics, no backup singers or dancers, none of them stood with their arms outstretched like they were being crucified, bathed in a heavenly spotlight, no glamor, glitz nor spectacle.

    Just the boys playing and singing their songs and THE GIRLS WERE GOING INSANE!!!

    They had to quit touring cuz the girls screamed so loudly, they couldn't hear themselves play!!!

  • wheres Michael Jackson in this song and video?

  • i go to ultiment and when i wana test a sound system ITS JUST THIS SONG! ITS STUCK IN MY HEAD NAOOO!

  • MJ did a great version!!!

  • sorry meant record tracking/keeping

  • lol you're so dumb Guinness book of world records is the most officially recognized recording tracking/keeping organization in the world. Disagree explain. They recognized everything from largest bowl of soup to the tallest building to the most successful entertainer of all time and its all based on facts not opinions. LOl

    RIP KING

  • this is joe crocker hahah not michael jackson i think haha

  • monkeymagic68's, yeah you're right But MJ was not just a music composer or musician, MJ was an entertainer, he did everything. Thats why he is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guiness book of world records.

  • @kkqlasiq again Guinness means nothing unless you have the worlds largest bowl of soup

  • mj doesnt own the song what are you talking about

  • is this off a movie?

  • @goobert3 Across the Universe my friend, its an awesome movie.

  • @BloodxxNxxChains ty ill have to watch it

  • lol this is a beatles song... its not mj's... (no disrespecting to the genius that he was - credit is not his)

  • Michael was not here but He was stay the stamp on a legend, of great man.

  • joe cocker is the shyt <3 f*** yes!

  • Wow isn't that world trade center behind the dancers?? on 2:09

  • fuckin joe cocker just jammin right out doin his thing hahahaa, such a bomb version of the tune

  • I can tell you, this song is MJ´s music he worte for his short film.ok

  • exactly

  • most people didnt care much about michel between the 90s and 2009 mostly because of the crap about him fucking little boys and for some retarded reason after he died every body started to feel bad and pretended that nothing happend, well fuck u guys that started liking michel just because he died and most of u guys made fun of him too, if he was still alive and he came right up to your face what would u say, comment me back on that and comment honestly

  • THANK YOU. FUCKING THANK YOU. SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT. I said that to a couple people at work and I almost got fired. He don't deserve sympathy. He used his status to protect himself. Fuck him. The world is better off.

  • better late than never. People do make mistakes, if they say why, tell them that is human nature! ;-)

  • @gEiCo23880 to be honest, i never liked his music and i will still admit that he is a douch, i, mostly, hated him because he was half plastic from how much surgery he took, and now people feel bad for him, it was suicide, i mean come on, he needed to be put to rest from drugs to sleep. after his nose fucked up like that, he should have stopped, he didn't, i think it was a desperate plea for attention that went wrong.

  • got to be Joe Cocker he Just do what it pleased

  • mj is the one and only KING!

  • RIP King And God Of Music MJ. Michael Jackson Guinness Book Of World Records Most Successful Entertainer Of All Time. Not Beatles.

  • @kkqlasiq Paul McCartney:

    Most succesful popular music composer of all time

    Paul is honoured by The Guinness Book Of Records with a unique rhodium disc to mark his official standing as the most successful popular music composer of all time.

  • I NEVER KNEW MICHAEL OWNS THIS SONG omg love king michael jackson forever.

  • No contest. While MJ had three meteoric albums his longevity was dwarfed by the Beatles. MJ hasnt had a top 10 hit in well over a decade. The Beatles pioneered more musical firsts than MJ and have been endlessly covered by a vast array of artists; substantially more than MJ. In a decade or two when we look back objectively there will be almost no debate. Body of work for body of work the Beatles wont be outdone by anyone for the foreseeable future.

  • billboard top 100 artist of all time

    1 The Beatles

    2 Madonna

    3 Elton John

    4 Elvis Presley

    5 Stevie Wonder

    6 Mariah Carey

    7 Janet Jackson

    8 Michael Jackson

  • MJ can't even play a musical instrument. So what do artists do when they have very little musical ability ? They take to dancing and their image like Jacko!

    I would rather see a REAL musician like John Lennon who can play and sing at the same time than a dancer like Wacko!

    There is NO contest over who is better. Of course most people are going to choose the Beatles over Jacko! That is obvious. As said The Beatles have outsold Jacko the world over! There like will NEVER be repeated.

  • LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO MADNESS LMFAO

  • Beatles>michael jackson

    Nowadays people have such a poor taste in music, you get fucking idiots on youtube saying this version is 1000x better than the beatles versin, michael jackson was good but nowhere near the standard of the Beatles, enven michael jackson himself regarded the beatles as the best, he did this cover as a sign of respect for the beatles, anyone who says michael jackson is better obviosly doesnt have a clue about music. Oh and i almost forgot...he touched children...

  • You need to go read up on the history of rock and pop music. You must be very young to say such bizzare comments about what is considered the greatest body of work in rock history by the masses - THE BEATLES! Most people on the street would be very hard pressed to name but 8 MJ songs whereas they would have NO trouble naming countless Beatles songs. The Beatles impact on music and the whole world has never and probably NEVER will be repeated.

  • U NEED TO TAKE SLEEPING PILLS LMFAO

  • U NEED TO TAKE SLEEPING PILLS LMFAO

  • ELVIS WAS A PERVERT AND A FREAK NOT Michael

  • Yeah, Elvis fans act like he was so innocent but he touched priscilla at age 13. So ya....

  • WRITTING TO URSELF LMFAO

  • RACIST MAGAZINES LMFAO

  • Most played song on Radio (8 million times)

    Officially announces that Yesterday has passed its eight millionth USA airplay, making it the most-played song on radio.

    Does Wako have the most played song on raido ever ? Nope not at all. No where near. My parents can't NAME one JM song but like most people all over the world can name countless Beatles songs. Beatles had far more impact on music and culture. If you think otherwise then you must think the world is indeed flat.

  • LOLOLOLOLOLOLO MADNESS IN PRATICE

  • JEALOUS RACIST FREAK LMFAO

  • You won't get a bigger act in pop music history than the Beatles. Wacko Jacko is NOT on that level. The Beatles were global. They have outsod MJ many times over. That's a fact. Get over it!

  • Erm what crap you talk. The Beatles were and still are far bigger that Wacko Jacko!

    For example they Jacko has only sold 750 million whereas The Beatles have sold well over a billion records. In other words MJ is far behind. The Beatles influenced far more people and had a much bigger impact on culture than any other act in rock music. The Beatles are the biggest selling act in pop music. They were bigger than that freak.

  • JEALOUS RACIST ASSHOLE LMFAO

  • awesome!

  • joe is a huge fan of the beatles. i love this version and ive been a fan for 15 years. oh and its not MJS fault ;)

  • LEAVE MJ ALONE!

    ;)

  • lol exactly

  • i love the michael jackson version of "come together"

  • Love the soundtrack, but I'll always prefer the original.. no knock to Joe. I love the dude's voice.

  • Across the universe was a great movie. All songs covered were awsome. They couldn't have done any better than this. I prefer listening to the soundtrack V.S. Beatles originals

  • the original Beatles songs r amazing. thers no doubt about that. but i agree with u. i do prefer the Across the Universe covers a little bit more. i guess its because i never really listened 2 the Beatles before i saw the movie

  • mike owns this song he may do what he pleases with it. h beatles are the greatest band in the world a totally separate thing from MJ.

  • mj doenst own this song i dont who told u that silly thing.

  • i like the beatles better

  • she came in through the bathroom window lol.

  • i thank that they were both good. michael did the song his way and the beatles did it thire way. i have to have respct for both.

  • beatles version is the best, if you think mj version is better than the beatles one, you are crazy, and you dont know about music, mj version is good but, it will never be betther than the beatles version

  • the "across the universe" movie was a nice tribute to the beatles.

  • yes i think so, but the version of across the universe is not of mj

  • i dont understand why MJ is brought into this. he just did a cover version of the song. ive seen MJ as a young 12 year old saying that the beatles was one his favorite bands. dick clark american bandstand ca. 1970. MJ's version is very 80's-ish in its arrangement.

  • You Sir are a fucking idiot!

  • u got tht right i like beatles but mj WAAAAAAAY better!!!!!!

  • got that right jackson's suck's and he copie's

  • Remember Mike owned the beatles catalog, so that song is way more his than theirs, and he just got to be some Jackson mojo on it to make it "Officially his" Are we not all coming together because of his short life and untimey death? Music is the only thing that makes sense anymore.

  • ignorant, u dont know what u are talking about.

  • Why are people trying to conpare The Beatles and Michael Jackson? To say the Beatles never impacted the world. YOUR WRONG. There that whole Vietnam war thing. The members of the Beatles were almost sent back to England by the US Goverment. Michael Jackson and The Beatles gave everyone in the world a song. They both impacted millions with the same mission. You can't ask "who's better".

  • Your saying that the Beatles were not known world wide? If so you should lay off the crack! MJ wouldn't have had a career if the Beatles didn't exist! Know your Pop History!

  • What the HELL does MJ have t do with this video?

  • Joe Cocker totally rocked this song! So good. Love the part at the elevator at the beginning. The way he enunciates everything is perfect (especially the "do what he please").

    I love the Cocker!

  • i like mj but the beatles did a better job

  • this is kinda low and boooring :| Michael jackson totally owned this! he was way much better.

  • LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO LMFAO

  • mj was gay the beatles version is definetly the best rip mj

  • GO JOE COCKER

  • so many ignorant here, mj doesnt own any beatles song, he just have half of the publishing right that means that every time a beatles song (just the ones he has) sound in the radio, tv, movie etc he get a little percert of money.

    the beatles own the rights of their songs.

  • Michael jackson made this popular to Millions of fans! outside of UK and outside of US. Really loved Michael Jacksons version ;-D Super hot.

  • are u crazy? this song was popular around the world before mj did it.

  • MADNESS IN PRATICE LMFAO

  • joe coker michael jackson yes very well done but anybody like john lennon JOHN LENNON!!!

  • I've found that arguing which version of a Beatles song is completely pointless. Even if you narrow it down to two or three versions, someone always throws in some obscure cover or just stubbornly refuses to listen to reason. I think one thing we can all agree on is that Cocker's gritty, booming voice, Jackson's pop revamp of the original, and the Beatles original performance make this song a classic.

  • i dont think mj's version revamp the original, beatles's version sound better and the voice of lennon is more clear and easy to hear. i think mj's version is rough.

  • At 2:13 / 14 a guy trips in the back.

  • i think MJ's version is better

  • TARD!!

    really you need a therapy daring comparing the Rock with this disco playback performer

  • is totally diff feeling with two version. i like the both!

    dun compare just listen.

  • Amen to that!

  • The BEST verson of this song is the ORIGINAL by the Beatles. MJ did a good version but nothing tops the original.

    John Lennon's voice is perfect for it and besides it's lyriics is about all FOUR members of the BEATLES.

    However if you want to hear some other interesting versions of it, Aeorsmith did a so-so remake for that hideous Sgt. Pepper movie, Ike and Tina Turner does a very raw and gritty version while the BROTHERS JOHNSONS does a really, really funky version of it (my favorite remake).

  • Michael Jackson definitely sings it way better! I don't like this version, it's boring and uninteresting. Don't like it.

  • uh yea i like this song WAAAAAAAAAAY better when Michael sings it

  • Me too ^__^

    Beatle's feels more raw and stuff. But I like Michael's better.

    But I do loooove the beatles ^___^

  • I do not know why an arguement started, but whatever. I prefer the Beatles cause I do not really like the pop of today. Michael was still a great performer and the last great musical artist with his kind of fame. The Beatles and MJ experienced the same kind of fame just at different time periods. Just to settle something, MJ does have the greatest selling album of all time. However in total sales, the Beatles are 2nd to Elvis. The Beatles still have the records for most No. 1's songs and albums.

  • pretty good

  • i know paul didnt die but there is a clue in this song (spinal cracker) his spine cracked in the wreck

  • better than the original!

  • i agree but yuhh have to remember it's the orginal yuhh have to respect it

  • oh man,

    joe cocker has me feelin alright!

    lol

    get it?

    i'm such a nerd

  • lol im a 90s and i love rock

    but not a fan of the beatles ;s

    i think cream raped them

  • Alright morons, enough with the bickering. First off NF, it was Yoko who backed down, it's very logical why, if she fought to outbid Michael Jackson(a friend of hers), shed spend all of the money John willed her. If she did that shed be BROKE, cause noone listens to Yoko Ono's music or buys her shit. Most ppl dont like her. Second, you wanna go there fine. Who has more #1 hits Michael Jackson or The Beatles? Who has more albums sold worldwide MJ or Beatles?

  • this movie is awesome!!! hmmm... this song is really easy to play!

  • At 2:50, it is actually Max in the cab.

  • I don't think so...

  • MJ does not own the rights any more.

  • yes he does. he always will. he said he will never sell.

  • lol 2:00 . my friend said if people actually did that in real life. he'd shit himself

  • I love that the windshield wipers of the bus are in sync with the tempo of the song.

  • The Beatles songs are the most covered cause they are some of the best songs in history but also the easiest. Michael jackson is just too hard to cover and his songs are the most incredible beats the world has ever known!

  • he has off the wall vocals! do u kno he dances WHILST recording his music? no one does taht. he dances out his full routine at the mike when recording, the guy who wrote PYT for him said that and so did Quincy Jones. Thats amazing.

  • Mmm. If only he weren't such an unstable creep.

  • he's not a creep. might be a little unstable. but then again, geniuses are never normal are they?

  • No. Especially not the ones who get charged with child molestation.

    Or the ones who are disgusted with their own biological race.

  • those comments just prove ur a loser and not worth talkin to at all. dont bother replyin cos im not gonna even bother readin ur comment.

  • Actually, your last comment proved that you have no argument; I'm right.

    And by pointing out that you're not going to read my comment, you make yourself look like a fool--especially since I know you will anyway. The classy thing to do would be to just not reply.

  • Hmm, independent dermatologists (hired by ABC News) after observing private pictures of Jackson confirmed the presence of the skin disease Vitiligo.

    and a charge of molestation is, well, just that: a charge. Just like being charged with anything else.

  • yea he owns all their songs and thats why him and paul dont tALK NO MORE CUZ HE wanted them too

  • Paul McCartney is who puts this idea in Michael's head ¬¬

  • ye. but Paul had a chance of buying them and he asked Yoko to split 50/50 and pay £20 mill each but he didnt want to spend taht much. So when MJ paid £47 mill he got all fluffy, when he let the chance pass up himself. everyone hates MJ, but its pauls fault, Paul was the richest musician at the time and he didnt wanna pay for his songs so he and his fans shouldnt go crying about it.

  • YES AMEN

  • michael bought all the rights over the beatles collection.... that's the connection!

  • Michael Jackson?

    What the fuck has this got to do about Michael bloody jackson?

    It's the Beatles version they're covering because it's a musical bassed on there music

  • thats not micheal jackson..

  • It's a Mtv's video or what?

    Sexy girls/Pretentious man.

    Nice car.

  • nono this is from the movie 'across the universe'. made in the same vane as 'mama mia'.

  • The Beatles's songs are the most covered songs of the twentieth century.

  • que tiene que ver en este video michael jackson?
