Billie Jean 2008 - Michael Jackson (Feat. Kanye West)

[Sameerghulam]

People need to understand MJ recorded over 200 songs for Thriller. He only chose 9. He obviously thought Kanye did a good job if he liked a remake of his most famous song.

[MonoKrome44]

one of the best songs of all time was crippled and corrupted by a rapper who only said about 2 words, and im disappointed in mj for releasing this bullshit

[AbovyantsiAper]

1958 - FOREVER!!!!

[Voblatheriba]

west sucks, i dont know who let his name be that close to jackson's

[1012Jackson]

I was lookin all over for this one. Didnt a group on america's best dance crew dance to this?

[sjappie5123]

@1012Jackson yeah thats true i forgot wich one tho

[fcamacho212]

This song is way too good! its a masterpiece. Any artist can do new versions of it and it would always sound good

[familyguy6193]

Michael obviously liked it or he wouldnt have let it be released

[rampagexxx]

This is pretty bad. Missing the purity of the original. That, and the bassline were the elements that made it so popular. If anything instead of a DRUM MACHINE, even more rocked out and raw instrumentation would've been better for a song with strengths on simplicity. These other artists including Kanye West are clowns compared to MJ.

[theELVISdoctors]

This song sounds way too cloudy, the original sounded BIG, this is lifeless

[karnage981]

LoL, Not rely feat. kanye west .. All he says is 'Yh, uh' ... he did a awesome job on the beat though.

[moeezahmedshahaab]

@karnage981 if he said anymore he would have ruined the song 

[BillieJeanHDHQ]

How do we know that Kanye West did this!

[emmaensign6]

@BillieJeanHDHQ because its on the 25th anniversary thriller album :)

[Jackass8743]

Mother fucker im a gay fish



[seanw23]

M.J......

Kanye. together for the first time with the king's number 1 song, billie jean.

[xEdgeMasterED]

Hey Yall, I'm gonna let yall do yalls thang, but first, I just wanted to say, Beyonce had the best album of all time.

[AveryJA215]

this is incredible kanye is the best

[MrMajkellowaxd]

Cool ! THE BEST ! Mike of course

[samedifference]

GOD, the intro with the violin alone is SICK!!!!

[mjluver1011]

this is not mj and what's up with the rap? and slowing it down?

[Goomba753]

@mjluver1011 Yes, this is Michael Jackson. Wtf?

[Supremed9]

@mjluver1011 wow, you ARE dumb..

[xxleandraxx1]

my fav remake off of thriller it was wanna be starting something

[devlinator1]

[Ryuken121]

[dapanda55smoot11]

[ktroy1000]

[raandiya]

it ain't bad .. no matter how you listen Michael's songs are Magic ..

[PopMusicLover14]

I HATE IT

Kanye,don't you EVER touch an MJ song!!!!

[Mafiabozz89]

[xXxIchiro30xXx]

definitely and wicked BAD!!!!

[jnludl03]

this go hard.

[certifiedmaniac]

Yall trippin Kanye and michael Killed this. you have to remember this is the 25th anniversary editon. Michael said he loved it

[RobinErikssonz]

i dont understand i didnt hear kanye sing/rap anything or did he just fix the beat or something? plz reply

[marczellm]

@RobinErikssonz

probably did the beat, but he says a "yeah uh" at around 0:18

[RobinErikssonz]

@marczellm aha thanks =)

[ALFfan1]

This sucks. The 1982 version with no Kanye is best.

[xxsweetiepeaxx]

NOOOO BAD KANYE. :(

do not try to improve an already perfect song !!! :/

yourr too mean to work wiff my emmjayy !

[g726245]

simply horrible. just the fact that Kanye attempted to make something here shows what an incredible douche he is. GAYFISH

[Bibs45]

did he resing them when like fergie and kanye did this or theyjust edited them ito the original tracks

[azn069]

Did kanye think he was god or something? There's no such thing as improving on Billie Jean -_-

[xHenri]

@azn069 You're a dumbass this was the 25th anniversary and they asked some big names in music to remix some of the songs, and MJ chose Kanye to remix Billie Jean, and obviously he LIKED it since he put it on the album! Do your research, dammit.

[azn069]

@xHenri Realistically speaking, today's 'big names' are nothing but fake non-existent talent, and Michael didn't even provide any new vocals for Thriller 25, Kanye merely changed the bass line and slowed down the tempo and added "uhh!" to the start - what kind of a remix is that? People on Youtube can make better remixes than Kanye's half-assed effort. It doesn't matter what Michael liked, he had to use the rubbish that was out there, so do your research you ignorant faggot.

[xHenri]

@azn069 I did more research than you did apparently, and why I should even listen to your biased ignorant words is beyond me. This remix is really simple and is quite a banging tune, that obviously cannot compare to the original classic, but is still a good tune. You forget this was released before Michael was dead and the world disliked him! Now that he's dead he finally gets the respect he's deserved. It's really sad.

[azn069]

@xHenri why would you assume that I disliked Mj before June 25? I had NOTHING against him before he died and even had some songs of his, including Billie jean and much of the Thriller album. Which brings me to my next point. You say "...obviously cannot compare to the original classic, but is still a good tune." -obviously, you just agreed with my original comment yet I still disagree with the latter part. And finally, " why I should even listen to your biased ignorant words" same goes to you.

[azn069]

@xHenri And fair enough Michael getting long overdue respect is sad, but that doesn't mean I am one of those who suddenly likes Michael. I grew up listening to my parents play Thriller over and over, and whether you choose to believe it or not has nothing to do with me.

[terryrare2]

i think kanye did a pretty good job on this ,

[NinjaTouch]

im just happy he didnt mess it up like Fergie. that was horrible. period.

[cee1tina]

I agree totally 1000%

[unclelance]

all kanye does is say 'uh...yeah. numba1.' and slowed the song down a little bit...such booming creativity.

[BllueJeeper]

"Yo Kanye, I'm really happy for your Mix, I'll let you finish, but the original Billie Jean song is one of the best original song of all time. One of the best original song of all time! --Bllueejeeper

[torontobluered]

baha trueeeeeeeeeeee

[manslayer895]

@BllueJeeper that was funny

[tfbekk]

This version sucks

[simba2388]

cornflakes and chicken taset good

[maartenagh]

kanye west sucks

[jodzm]

Does anyone know where i can get a score for the string part?

[wiganfan19]

kanye west and michael jackson are the 2 best music artists ever.

so surly this is the best song ever.

aha that's where ur wrong. u c, give in to me by mj is the best song ever. no kanye. wat does that tell u, nothing, excactly.

sorry i'm just bored.

[griefcomics]

So, Kanye gets a "feature" because he mumbled "Uh, yeah" at the end of the song?

Pffft.

Not a bad "re imagining" of sorts, but nothing special either. I'll take the original.

[koridatz]

he made the beat and produce the song asshole

[griefcomics]

Fantastic. But that doesn't mean he should be featured for saying "Uh, yeah". He PRODUCED the beat and the song. Hal Davis PRODUCED J5's "Dancing Machine" and he didn't get a feature. Kanye seems to be just vain as hell. And that "beat" of an already perfect song took, what? 20 minutes to do in garage band? Like I said, nothing special, decent, but I've heard fan remixes just as good here on youtube...

asshole.

[koridatz]

oh i get it now you're better than kanye, yeah i understand, sorry

[griefcomics]

Heh. Never said that. Just stating my opinion on this "remix". Not good at logical arguments, are you?

[koridatz]

we got a lawyer!!!!

[griefcomics]

Haha. Nope. Just someone who thinks when they type.

[lilpinkyluv]

@griefcomics

haha that was a good one

[lilpinkyluv]

@griefcomics

TRUE!!!

[xHenri]

@griefcomics I'm sure the only reason they said it was a feature because they thought having the names of some big musicians in the industry would attract more people. I really doubt Kanye would insist on having his name featured just for producing, as he has produced NUMEROUS popular songs by Jay-Z and other artists without having his name featured.

[griefcomics]

@xHenri Thank you for having a mature thoughtful response. That's very rare on the internet.

[crispycream110]

@griefcomics ... he also said it in the beggining at like :23

[wiganfan19]

yeh

[swagger1210]

dude kanye was six when billie jean first came out

[wiganfan19]

ur right there

[touretteEd2]

I just love how people often forget that Kanye is a PRODUCER.

[EastCoastPrinCeSS]

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEE!!!! Sooooo many people forget he was making beats wayyy before he was rapping.

[touretteEd2]

he is so far out of his ass it's not even funny =/

[mrhashbrown]

uh....no.

[MJ4everTheKing]

it needs to be played faster

[DGK164]

naw man dats not true at all this song came out in 83 and kanye wasn't out yet

[ManInTheMirror23]

Bilie Jane ma ta cudowne mocne brzmienie basowe że moim zdaniem nie warto z niej robić remixów - to nigdy nie wypali.

Bilie Jane has a strong following so wonderful bass that in my opinion is not worth it to do remixes - it never burned out.

[CLO619]

I like this mix but it could of been more better especially the lyrics. but in all honesty and realness it will never surpass the original!.

[dirrtybird23]

sorry, but what lyrics were changed? I didn't catch them. but as usual, i think the only thing wrong with this is the fact that kanye opens his mouth.

[k41516]

kaye is not realy singing he is just saying a ha yep number 1 stupid him

[Maziyar]

MICHAEL JACKSON KANYE WEST HEARTLESS MUSIC VIDEO.  its a video response to this one watch it here or on my page. PEACE AND LOVE king of pop

[gmthanasakhs]

[kingseol]

kanye..... SUCKS

[xSupremasix]

kanye only has a high school education. he's retarded for ruining a classic. well done kanye. all he says is ahh and yeah. what a terrible singer if anyone even considers him a singer.

[egomers714]

Yup & Nas didn't even finish Middle School. Kurt Cobain, John Lennon didn't finish high school either.

The bastards! Ruining music.

(sarcasm!!!)

Idiot. Just because someone has a high school education doesn't mean they're idiots.

[xHenri]

@egomers714 Pwned!

[egomers714]

@xHenri pwned..?

[Sub2Me4Sora]

kanye is fuckin gay

[gustavates]

Kanye West and mj is the best

[Sub2Me4Sora]

kanye is a gayfish

[sebihp2007]

South Park Rulez and Kayne is a gayfish, indeed

[xHenri]

@sebihp2007 Yeah kayne sure is a gayfish. Kanye on the otherhand is awesome.

[fresh2death1396]

ya father is a gay fish

[Intoxiqated]

Ay yo yo yo I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish but Eric Cartman had one of the greatest gayfish jokes of all time, one of the greatest gayfish jokes OF ALL TIME...

[Sub2Me4Sora]

hey yh yh yh i'm real happy for you but jimmy had one of the greatest gayfish joke of all time, one of the greatest gayfish jokes OF ALL TIME...

[Deekaytm]

@Sub2Me4Sora ...

[lohs117]

its so frickin slow. what? 0.5 speed?

[MrTMajin]

Great!!! I really like!!!!!!!!!

RIP MJ

[marzenaozo]

no no no! why Kanye?

[bobbytimberlake]

Because he has no actual talent.

His entire career consists of slightly speeding up or slowing down old beats and talking over them, then acting like he's the Second Coming.

Of course, everyone was doing that 20 years ago, so there's nothing unique about it at all.

[ninoz91]

WTF kanye isnt singing anything:S

[faggot237]

good

[BrianTheDork]

chris brown woulda done better than kanye west...just saying.

[dancer1067]

//(*-*)\\

[JonnyRobboLFC]

Doesnt Kanye Always Skit Michael In His Songs?

[Supagraph]

Nice..  //(*_*)\\

[msjacelover59]

i luv this song soooooooooooo much!

[zemnasdarkness]

how the hell is he get a mention in this Billie Jean - MJ ft Kanye like wtf all he does is say yea yea at the start

[1amoungtheFence]

He produced the song....

[LATEGREAT]

common sense he made the fuckinq beat dumbass.

[zemnasdarkness]

so added beats on its feat kanye

not kanye remix or anything

[imthejuggernaut97]

i like this remix. michael jackson one of the sweetest souls in the entertainment industry and kanye west a friggin... JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MI62000]

hey kanye, this is nice and all, glad you had your moment, but just saying, Michael Jackson can do A MILLION TIMES better without you. just saying.

[KG8oston]

not bad. i like the effort, even though KW uses almost the same drums in everything at different speeds:

Stronger

I wonder

Heard em Say

Still, this can't come near the original +iconic dancing.

[mockingbirdforever]

what did kanye do in this song? I don't hear it.

[mockingbirdforever]

what I mean is that i don't hear him sing anything. is he playing instrumental? Really tell me. Don't thumbs down me.

[doinbigthangz]

You deserve a thumbs down... Kanye produced the song for the 25th Anniversary album just as he did the PYT song. MJ feat. Kanye West. Go hurt yourself...

[jacksonkingofpop211]

Michael Jackson's Version is a billion times, no eternity times better than this.

[siq911]

Kanye West is a terrible waste of flesh and bone. I guess in his own stupid selfish way he was telling all of us he will never be as iconic as Michael Jackson. This awful tune proves Kanye is talentless in all aspects of musical production. Why bother working with art that has already been perfected by its original artist?

[Divababy4]

KAYNE KILLED DIS BEAT IN A GOOD WAY

[Haxxespwnt]

stfu

[tatooman1974]

if it ant broke dont fix it

[shortlthug88]

the original is much better then this

[MedrielS]

i like the effort but this isnt michael jackson...

[Hgd222]

Your mum is a zombie

[MrZachbraff]

there are many zombies infront of him

[hondaishere]

Does anybody notice the zombie in front of Michael Jackson.

[Studzworth]

I think this is one song that did not need to be remixed teh oiginal was so captivating and even invigorating. this version lacks that strong bass thats not heard even in today's version. It was everything from the original that made this song a hit. Guaranteed if Mike had came out with this in the 80's....it would of been trash

[lovelyOoOphoenix]

i also think everything he did during the 80's sounded perfectly! It rockes terribly!

Love him... <3 terribly too

[gicriscris16]

Hola a todos en mi canal voy a estar subiendo videos de MICHAEL JACKSON

A cualquier persona q le gustaria ver videos de michael Jackson o hacer otros pedidos musicales o tutoriales ,SUSCRIBANSE A MI CANAL.Bueno me despido Cuidense muxo,Bye

Saludos De Perú.

CrisXD!!

[McYaballow]

this remix is a piece of shit

[warmonk82]

this is his real recording guys MJ's new album was being produced by Kanye and this is one of many remixes they were trying to work on

[juanwinston]

to be honest, this version is not so good, even i can do it simply just add the uh uh from kanye and slow the whole song using that music program that everybody can buy. thats my opinion though.

[JinxxTheProducer]

Kanye West iz great and so iz Mike... I hope Kanye doesnt get mad at for remaking "Love Lockdown" into a funny food song.. Check it out... But keep it a secret

[twadew15]

love this version my fav ever

~~~~~RIP MICHAEL I LOVE YOU~~~~~

[jammy02]

r.i.p michael jackson rest in peace now

[crazylex96]

michael of course sounds extraordinary..but the original is better

RIP

[TheMRN9]

RIP

[halfordzz97]

when michaels singin , its too slow normally its wicked

[Masterofpuppets2013]

i can make bullshit up too!

[Masterofpuppets2013]

ok and i saw a unicorn 10 minutes ago!

[Machinimother]

Someone finally finds out.

hehe

[Machinimother]

ZOMG X_X

You dont understand it at all...

He invited over childeren,

The mom sayd he raped them,

Wich is not true.

The mom knew mj loved childeren,

And asked a lot of money,

if michael pays Then she wouldnt say anything.

Michael paid cause he loved childeren,

He didnt raped anyone

[Godson2O]

So you liked his touch enough to tell the world huh ? nice...

[KaRarenczna]

It's really good but i prefer orginal Billie Jean version... ;]

ThaSlyOne - I absolutely agree with you

[helenguate01]

Billie Jean is my Fav song ever, but these "mix" takes all the fun out! Billie Jean makes me wanna dance in my car but this one makes me sleepy.

YOU ROCK MICHAEL, the media killed you and the wrong ppl were with you. You will forever be the best! <33

[seimeichan]

the beginning was nice... i wished kayne would of rapped in this instead of 'uh huh' stuff the remix is alright.

[Taisto]

Oh lord...

[xxsweetiepeaxx]

uhm, the original is the original .. && its better than this . my opinion. i think that him & kanye should have re-recorded the whole song again even the singing part && did it more like todays tracks that would have been a real remix :D

[xxsweetiepeaxx]

why would you negative my comment ! .

its the truth .

[Hikmat786]

uh yeah number one baby rest in peace MICHAEL!!

[YManzi23]

Man all i know is none you motherfuckers used to say good things about Micheal now all of a sudden you guys are defending him by saying Kanye ruined his song.. Michael puts together his collaborations..U don't like it fuck off and go listen to your Lil Wayne garbage.. All you guys know how to do is follow the trends... Michael Sets Them

R.I.P. THE KING LIVES ON

[MirunikSweetie]

I'm not saying he ruined the song. I just like  the original version better. Geez.

[chrisdude07]

michael re sung the song for this remix. u cant just blame it all on kanye.

[MirunikSweetie]

mcihael's voice sound good o.o'

[xSayHiToTheBadGuyx]

no he didn't. he took his vocals apart and put it on a new beat, layered on top of parts of his old beats. slowed them tempo down a bit too. kanye's a fucking idiot. thanks for ruining a classic. a good remix wud have been putting an usher or some other singer to add a completely new verse to the song that's song, then a duet like chorus at the end

[harhainen]

... and lol for the kanye west: "yea... a-a-a-a, number one" and thats all! whoa!

[harhainen]

the beat sucks so hard!

[whspanther11]

needs bass

[zrofan214]

i think you mean 1958 not 1558 lol

[PCSsidekick]

i like this version its slower nd i can hear everything

[lordofgumbo]

Why does kanye west always make such beats!?
