Best remake ever! As far as I'm concerned anyone who loves MJ should love this because above all things in music MJ respected creativity and originality. MJ and Chris cannnot be beat when it comes this song. They are both equal in parts perfection and MJ would be damn proud. I've been loving this version since it came out.
Check out a guy named Jeff Gutt... just type his name into the search box..... the most AMAZING singer I have ever heard.... he used to play with a band called Dry Cell but now plays with BWNN.....UNBELIEVABLE voice.
@59summerset Chris cornell's voice used to be allot better than this, too many cigerettes and screaming for years. Used to be able to hit those notes with ease.
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 you dont have to down play the Michael jackson because you perfer this version. I think he did a cover of this song because he respected Jackson's work. He wasnt trying to out do him or call him shit.
@ArseLoad0fMetal666 Michael Jackson was a magnificent singer! Don't let this "pop hate" thing blind you. He was called the king of pop for a reason! The level of professionalism in his productions is breathtaking.
Chris Cornell's voice is bewitchingly beautiful ,from very early soundgarden,to now.i questioned the rage/cornell stuff,also his solo records.but live is a treat,and a must see.he takes you to a state of calm and tranquility, to roaring /serious edge to it.Chris enters your sole with passion pesto-ed upon us by greats like paul Rodgers,Gillan,Davey pattison,but before you know it,he's in with the likes of Dio.Dickinson,Halford.
Judging by the fact that you write with CAPS on, you're probably an idiot. Chris Cornelle IS one of the most famous singers in rock. He was just the singer of some tiny band called Sound Garden. *sigh*
Best Singer Alive TODAY!! Here is a video of Chris and I playing together in Louisville ...search "Chris Cornell and Alan Forsyth" ...coolest musician ever to make this happen! Thanks Chris
@chill87336 that is great.checkout Soundgarden's badmotorfinger,superunknown and Down on the upside albums or Audioslaves first album.If it is still online find Soundgarden at the Glasgow Barrowlands live in i think 95.I have it on cassette from the Barras market,I was there and wow! what a gig.
I heard the song playing in a pub and even though it was noisy i immediately was captured by the voice. Then I started listening to the lyrics. You should have seen my face when I realised it was Billie Jean :)
@loleatcrap25 yes because lyrics are all about trying to work them out for thirty years and after the artist dies people coming up with answers that arent true
@fitless it already was a masterpiece. In this version the song is kinda weighty with a new personal charm. The original, in my opinion is far more powerfull without having to do the undue voicebending. Glad to see however that a bit overrated artist like Chris is able to take Jacksons art to an audience that before this release turned his back on him and, in their misplaced and arrogant behaviour against everyting that seems commercial, overlooked the genious of it.
@chikuba0 Do you have any pair of ears still working? Michael Jackson's version 's awesome but the way Chris does it, that freaking goes to y'r bones man
I'm a so-so fan of Michael Jackson...but i love Dirty Diana, and i liked Billie Jean really well... until I heard this cover. This is freaking fantastic! A whole new take on the original... makes the original just mediocre at best...
IDK HOW TO GET HIM MORE VIEWS, but my friend is a independant musician goes by the name level 8. the videos are on my youtube account if you like rock music that i think is pretty good.
us white people like it when someone hits guitar strings really loud and fast then stops and starts singing again. works every time. In fact, the only thing we like more is the next time you do it.
@monotonelifestyle not true.. in fact i'm white and i prefer Michael's version x100. Also I listen to black people all the time, there's only one white song on my iPod. Actually what you said doesn't appeal to me at all, i actually hate when there is guitar in songs (except for songs like Beat it and Dirty Diana). And no, i'm not even partailly black. So nice try, whites are not always listening to guitar...
hey guys i need honest criticism on my acoustic/vocal work, please dont be REALLY harsh but i need opinions to better myself as a musician, im originally a solo guitairst (Sweep picking) stuff like that but realized I need to write music, real music. Check it out! :) /watch?v=9Qxdm2q8ZEk (put the link after youtube)
There's a power and roughness to Cornells that David Cook can't even begin to compare to. I'm not saying David Cooks cover is bad, cause that's fucking great too. It's just that this voice... god it's so good.
