Chris Cornell - Billie Jean (live at Peace And Love 2009)

[Fornawy]

Yeah its called a cover, but don't ever pretend to make a cover if you know that it is never gonna be not even the half good than the original... Man you should be killed for this song!!!

[4RKU5K1]

@Fornawy Harsh bro

[ricben1973]

Find me a cover that has the same originality. Completely rearranged ad great!

[request224]

he looks like Kirk Hammett of Metallica

[hellie1978]

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for suddenly making me feel alive again!

[matonmagic]

I got here through MJJ RADIO that plays this on its rotation at the moment. Chris Cornell's voice is an instument of great amptitude and plays upon the blues of the song. The song itself is magical in the ways it can be taken into places you never thought you'd go with Billie Jean. This version sounds as if LED ZEPPLIN were around to interpret the song. CHRIS YOU ARE MAGICAL. MJ would have loved this so much.

[paticarvalho77]

thanks Chris!! Michael forever!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP!

[MissusFingerBottom]

Ok i take back my words, this live version is fantastic. His voice blows me away.. his voice is dripping with sex.

[MissusFingerBottom]

I am not crazy about this cover, but at least Chris made it his own, plus his voice makes any song fantastic. Best rock voice ever.

[sexygal0807]

Awesome!!! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!

[OpinioniDi1Vagabondo]

Grandissimo Chris!!

Un bel tributo davvero, in una versione in perfetto stile Cornell :)

[ArgHamster]

I almost ran into Chris (and his bodyguard) earlier that day. We just grinned a bit at the incident.

[Marcuccstyle]

Niente a che vedere con la Versione Originale.... Tutti vorrebbero imitarlo!! Addio Michael. The King....

[TornaZefiro]

No, guarda che Chris Cornell non ha l'obiettivo di imitare Michael, ci mancherebbe solo questo.

E' figlio di un panorama musicale completamente diverso, e si sente.

Questo è solo un suo tributo, tra l'altro la cover è presente in un suo cd del 2007, dunque puoi farti due conti.

[ricben1973]

@Marcuccstyle Se c'è uno che non vuole imitarlo è proprio Chris Cornell visto che la sua interpretazione è completamente diversa dall'originale. Poi ovviamente può piacere oppure no, resta al fatto che è da apprezzare la sua scelta di non scopiazzare la versione originale solo per fare successo (come purtroppo fanno tutte le clone band di oggi)

[illuminati576]

i wonder what MJ thought of this version?

[rhcpcornell]

At least he made this tribute while MJ was alive .. rip Micheal Jackson...probaly the only one..

[LillAurora]

This was 2 days after MJ died!

[snancy2008]

Good video !

Thanks ! see mine !

[aztecmixtli12]

I heard this long time before the king of pop passed, on acoustic it was awsome i'm super sorry this blows big time....look for the acoustic version

[gabydelrojo]

La mejor voz del mundo!!!!!!!!

[zendakk]

I guess someone has to spell it out for some of the kids here: This. Is. Not. Supposed. To. Sound. Like. Michael. Jackson's. Version. Okay? It's called a cover, a musical re-interpretation, in this case a bluesy one. To cut you some slack, I'll grant that it's a concept alien to the MTV generation. Sad, sad world.

[keane06]

wooooooH!:D

[captainrabies]

holy shit that was amazing.....no disrespect to mj but i think this is better than his version

[aluxdeluxe]

i was there and it was epic!!

[raeging1235]

nice slow version..???....

R.i.P Michael Jackson!!!!

[LoPan99]

What does Chris yell at 4:52?

[WhatWouldSlashDo]

"Come on now"

[kati14h]

Beautiful, so beautiful. But no one can sing it the way the King did!

[AUniqueVideoProd]

you are correct, and no one can sing it like Chris Cornell, and no one can sing it like myself, and no one can sing it like Sammy Hagar, and no one can sing it like Mick Jagger...no one has the same voice

[plamen69]

10x

love u, MJ <3

[mrbadguy87]

I was there. Magic. Very nice gig. Funny thing, I guessed right about the two first songs of the concert.... ^^

[gladiussecus]

esto fue en chile vdd? ya habia pasado la muerte d MJ ??

[AndreasHaugen]

I was There! IT WAS AWESOME

[ibexr88]

Shit, that was awesome. The best version of this cover that I've ever heard!

[j0kn]

I was there too, and I must say, I really wish this would have been filmed by professional staff so that everyone really can hear how beautiful it was. I, myself, was stunned....

[ToXXid]

I was on front row! Awesome performance, rest of the setlist was pretty crappy exept of hunger strike and the sg songs. To much solo crap...

[PJRake]

Awesome! RIP Michael.

[illuminati576]

this was a great vocal, he is ready for SG reunion!

rip MJ

[darthmto]

SG reunion?? he's better than that now

[illuminati576]

dont think he can sing Beyond the wheel yet, but getting closer!

[cleroliveira]

This is a great tribute that Cornell pays while MJ was alive.

[macket83]

No, he wasnt alive at this moment.

[pimpmydota]

No, He played it two days after MJ died.. I was there!

[PirateXzibit]

Satt utanför Tropico, och sjöng med, kommer jag ihåg.

[sunkenmaster123]

I was there and it was the best timw of my life

[muddshovel1]

I sad what media and the justice systems in our country to to a human being .

[fillefilander]

I was there!! :-)

[jazz112233]

I can't listen to anyone's music besides Michale's right now, but this was great. Thank you Chris.

Kenny Rogers said on CNN last night that he wouldn't wish Michale's fame on anyone. I thought that was really profound as I look at all the old footage of Mike and I rediscover his genius.

I love you Michael Jackson. You were truly 1 of a kind and I am so sorry that we hurt you. May GOD keep your soul forever.

[stephiemtx]

Both Chris and MJ are/were pure genius.

[unreal455]

That's what Dawe said couldn't = could not.

Anyway, beautiful rendition absolutely flawless!

[Dawe199]

Exactly =)

[Coldiscool]

I was suprised, this is the best performance of this song ive ever seen him do, it has what i always felt was missing in the studio recording, and more.

[drummerboy74]

I agree - this is definitely better than the studio version (though that's pretty good too) - but this definitely has more feeling.

[robynsegg]

I always thought this was a beautiful tribute, even way b4 Michael died. Right now this is the only version of this song I can listen to. I can't listen to any other MJ song @ the moment because it just HURTS TOO DAMN MUCH! Beautiful job, Chris. Well done... RIP, My Michael, my angel...

[xSilverUnicorn]

Dear GOD! What a beautiful tribute! That was the most soulful rendition of Billie Jean that I have ever heard. I don't think anyone could surpass that. WOW!

I have always loved Chris Cornell's voice, but this blew me away. Truly and honestly. What a tremendous gift.

[xSilverUnicorn]

Dear GOD! What a tribute! *trying to breath normally again...*

That was the most soulful rendition of Billie Jean I have ever heard. I have always love Chris Cornell's voice, but dear lord, this song just blew me away. I agree with brunogcav. This is perfect. These is steal my breath away and stop my heart perfect.

Thank you, Chris Cornell, for sharing your gift with the world.

[djohnson716]

Right on.

[Lucille1957]

Love your vocals.

[campoobutt]

Why are you acting like Chris himself posted this?

[robynsegg]

1 never knows on the net...

[MegametedK]

Chris posted the link to this himself on Twitter.

[cleroliveira]

he just retwitted it. :)

[OvationGuitars]

Awesome!!!

[Lucille1957]

You rock, love your vocals. You got it going on.

[wrezlerx2]

wow, that audio is surprisingly good for a (what i would guess) is a hand-held camera. i love this.

[komplikatedmel]

Haha it probably wasn't good audio quality... his amazing voice MAKES it good quality

come on, it's Chris Cornell ;)

[Shemanga92]

i was there!!!

[Dawe199]

Couldn't be much better!
