Michael´s version is SO much better than Cook´s! For those who says that Cook sings it better, I can tell that they don´t know how to sing. Cook is great also, but Michael´s has even more emotions. The music is a lot better in Michael´s, has much more feelings. Is great for dancing too. If Billy Jean was made it first by Cook i dont think it would of make it to where it is. Its not nostalgia, it was sung as it was intended to.
Anyways im fan of Led Zepp, Acdc, Mariscal, and The beatles
They're too different to compare. I love them both for their differences. They are both beautifully sung, and this song is beautiful in both styles. ^^
let's be serious for just one second: can you really compare billie jean BY MICHAEL JACKSON and a simple cover amongst the many that have been made? if you want to compare things, do it between a song written by michael and one written by david. it's just my opinion but i don't think making a cover has never been a proof of any talent. anyone can do it.
nobody is comparable to the one and only king of pop
who cares about that david cook's slow and boring version and come on guys u can compare which is better and only one out of a million will choose david cook
Michael jackson is legend and no one will be like him man! who agrees with me give me a good comment
MJ's version will always be the best, no matter who covers it; like cherrygirl said, he's the one that wrote it and he's the only one that can put the right emotions into it.
But I'll it to that cook guy that "his" version had an interesting bit.
A song isn't just about how much emotion is in it, or what it means, how slow it is, it's about the whole thing, the music, the catchiness, the beat too. MJ knew what this song meant because he wrote it - so he knew what emotion to put into it. He also had it perfected - Cooks version misses the whole concept of the song - it sounds too fake - he doesn't know what he's singing about. That is why MJ's version will always be the best.
David Cook. 1. His version gives me chillls. 2. Its not about how catchy a song is, its about what it means, David shows that. 3. He puts emotion into it. :)
@taytape This is one of MJs darkest songs, you can't say he doesn't put emotion into it, a song doesn't have to be slow to be a soulful ballad. Cooks version isn't a patch on the original and if you listen to MJs voice, you will hear his emotion - he doesn't need to go over the top to touch people's hearts with his dazzling voice.
It's not at all fair to compare a remake with the original sung by someone who recently died. peopl are going to choose the original simply based on nostalgia.
I think that I prefer David Cook's version for the emotion over the catchiness of MJ's version. Both are good, and MJ obviously has the advantage of having sung it first, but David Cook's music is more my style. (emotion>beat IMO)
Comparing Rock-ballad to Pop is like comparing Apples to Oranges, it depends on personal preferance.
LOVE both versions! I was 9 years old when Michael Jackson came out with this song. I had his poster on my wall and was quite into him and his music. I watched Season 7 AI and totally fell for David Cook when he sang this version. I don't normally like remakes, but LOVED this one and generally loved what David Cook did with nearly all of the songs he performed on AI. Now I'm a huge DC fan, but can honestly say both versions are great. I listen to them both. Very different, but both great.
i dont really like david's version. michael is the best, no matter what! and as for this little fight going on, let it go, it's a stupid fight on a youtube video. you dont know each other. stop being immature.
David's version is good , too , but now , this is a reallllyyyy stupid question to ask . O_o Everyone knows , that Michael is the one and only , and his version is still better , no matter what .
The same?So hard to choose,MJ made me dance while my all-time favorite artist David Cook has amazed me how he sang the song with great interpretation...
I don't really see how you can compare David and Michael. I would say [between David and Chris Cornell] that David did better, but on this one I'd have to go with Michael.
IDK How u can can compare David with MJ....I mean David is good and all But MJ is just way smoother and I personally dont like slow songs they make me bored I mean I luv David but on this one I have to say MJ!!
hands down, Michael Jackson is way better. it is true, you can probably understand the lyrics better in davids version, but MJ's is way smoother and easier on your ears. listening to the other gives me a head ache(not literally).
Why would you even compare the two? MJ is an amazing legend.. The original version is "almost" always. I have nothing but love for David Cook though... HE WILL BE A LEGEND..
PARDON ME! I know that comment wasn't generated to me but I have to say something "13 year-old girls sure are stupid these days."
I'm 13 years old and i find that deeply offensive. AND you said it on a Michael Jackson video! Honestly! And before you go mouthing off at me to mind my own business, what were you like when you were 13 years old. You owe somebody an apology. Life is too short to be doing that kind of crap.
Who cares if you're offended? You're just a 13 year-old girl, you probably get offended at everything. What does Michael have to do with this? When I was 13 I sure wasn't like you kids are.
I care about things. The problem I have with most kids today is that they can't appreciate shit and go for whatever is in. I'm sure if that poor little weirdo Michael never died more than half of these kids wouldn't be respecting him. But because he's "cool" to like now all these kids like him. Maybe that's not the case with you, but it probably is.
Pardon me but you don't know me. I hate Twilight and this new music of today. My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz from 1939 and I have loved Michael Jackson for as long as i can remember. 80's music is all i have on my iPod. Like i said, you don't know me.
Yeah I know right!? Why would you ask a stupid question like that? It's obvious Michael Jackson's version was 100x better than that terrible version David what's his face made.
I didn't know appearance made you any less talented. At least Michael was cute at one time, while this guy is fuck ugly. There's a shitload of people who sound just like David Cook, while no one sounds like MJ. Ever listened to the A capella version of songs like "Rock With You"? Sorry but David's voice can't compare to vocal talent like that. Oh and I didn't know standing by a microphone and playing the guitar throughout the whole show was considered entertaining.
