Classic Hits by Microsoft Songsmith: Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

[Zebonka]

I bet he wore those clothes before he raped the kids.

[TheWataKing]

Billie Jean: Teletubbie edition. 

[lovelylady2910]

The chorus is the only good part. The rest fuckin sucks. Delete this shit yo.

[Florianthemaster]

Songmith actually found the right chords in a few instances, for example 1:53-2:25

[IwillKillYourCereal]

I actually like this XD

[yragcom1]

Now THAT'S hardcore!

[noisepuppet]

Holy piss, this is awful! Good job!! Thumbs all the way up.

[D7maj]

Uh, classy.

[OrdinaryPerson2]

I actually liked this...

Is there something horribly wrong with me?

Probably...

[supermario0192837465]

@OrdinaryPerson2 you should listen to queen....salsa version then

[MasonTheD]

So is this the elevator music for he'll?

[stardappledgreen]

Ah Microsoft, you truly can suck the soul out of anything

[Shockley89]

There are just a lot of chords where MJ ends up on the 7th, its the right key, it just ends up sounding bad because its a dissonant note.

[magnetiaPL]

This makes me scary about the future of music O_O

[GiantDoucheNG]

I love how 90% of the commentators don't understand humor.

[Ortegala]

This is fucked up. who wants to listen to the original Billie jean?!!!!!!! I do!

[JStYLeiSh]

Uhmm, no.

[murder00redrum]

Wow this actually works...

[CarlOlskamp]

By god, Michael would turn in his grave if he could hear that. This sound like ass!

[MegatonMadMan]

songsmith is the greatest of man's creations

[rbrine01]

I like it :-)

[camkielty97]

this is stupid

[hccaos44]

Ouch! This hurts, even I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson.

[kalsikum]

lol i am sure there is a setting that asks whether u want the song in major or minor?

[Ralrykam]

Wow this is terrible

Good job songsmith!

[Photoshoplilli]

i must admit, compared to other songsmith products, this one is pretty good, actually.

micheals version is epic, thouhg.

RIP

[MackTuesday]

Thank you for your fascinating and enlightening comment.

[MackTuesday]

Songsmith seems to be confused about what key this song is in.

[imagesfromapoet]

on the version of Beat It that I found on here, they put it in a major key instead of the relative minor.

[alexfanx]

This makes me want to warp my body in unnatural ways.

[YouNorkYouNork]

as re-imagined by Microsoft Songsmith......

fuck you.

[mizusajt]

good night sweet prince

[BluLinkdesu]

RIP MJ :(

[sjvan0]

Unlike the LoveShack one, this is at least half-way listenable. It's still bad, but nowhere near the level of hilarious awfulness of Love Shack.

[mj71384]

the original is the best RIP MICHEAL

[dksteve]

In what conceivable way is the music and vocals related. I failed to hear anything like a harmony in the whole thing.

Songsmith seems to be pretty crappy software.

[Cooper2565]

It's quite complex to even be able to do this. Yeah it's campy and not that great, but the fact that software like this exists is pretty impressive.

[RICHUNCLEPENNYBAGS77]

To repurpose this quote a bit, a computer's composing is like a dog's walking on its hind legs -- it is not done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all.

[wagnertronic]

por favor esto es un insulto, que mal gusto

[Foxxbox]

Su sensación del insulto me lastima grandemente :(

[MoskyRans27]

what is this?? :S

[Entropiestromstaerke]

wtf xDDD

[LAYADR]

The Hell? I Think The Normal Version Is Better.

[gelaman]

Something In the Harmony is bothering me... I dont know if is the diference ins styles between the piano and the voice...

Anyway... Sounded strange...

[Foxxbox]

Different key.

[gelaman]

Oh... Explains a lot!

[Foxxbox]

Yep! Witness the power of Songsmith.

[dksteve]

LOL

[gwyn15]

@gelaman it's a different key, and a strange chord progression...

[hornauerzuwinnende]

I think one can really appreciate the original better if one hears this alternative. I mean it's plausible, but very banal.

[dinotles]

lol

[noonic23]

this is funny :)

[Florianthemaster]

Billie Jean turned into a cheesy pop ballad.

[santietje3]

delete

[ExilliusGallant]

This is f****!!!

This is nothing like the song, they riuned it

[AdlejandroP]

Uuuuuuuuuiiiish cry

[caleb985]

it suck!!!!!!!!!!!

[LitalKricheli]

OMG...:S

[TwizzlerMan2]

c1 Word....RUBBISH

[ferchiva123]

wtf man.

[cede456]

is it serious?

[emma00010]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOO BAD

[cookinsdabest]

how do u get the vocals from the song?

[Grzywa1988]

What the fuck is this? What a fucked up remix? (i don`t know how to call this shit)

[ibreakkidslegs]

this is to billie jean what your comment is to the english language

[brianreading]

Doesn't sound like it's in the proper key...

[Foxxbox]

It's not. Songsmith is terrible at detecting keys.  But this is what Songsmith did with the vocals.

[Imnothecrazyone]

proof that computers will never be as intelligent as us

[mooroth]

Hahaha! A Microsoft home entertainment application created roughly a short 30 years after the home computers first hit the markets is the definite proof that computers will NEVER be as intelligent as us?

If you're serious, you're a very simple person, if you're joking or sarcastic, you're not funny.

[collabi]

Wow, someone really hit a nerve with the Google Automated Commentard AI.

[FSquid]

Really?

[StewartofGondor]

I think this is more of proof that computers can't create music as well as humans. It has relatively nothing to do with intelligence.

[csillagkrisz]

shit youtube

[WajinTom]

Pwned lol

[MotownShaker]

what a load of shite

[jacksprat1990]

Lol This is class.

[DarkZholt]

Soundsmith is awesome, it can turn any song into a joke... at least it's funny...

[durphy]

this is horribly awesome.

[ExtraFruitJam]

The intro sounds like 'English Man in New York' by Sting.

I listened to the rest, and now I don't know what to do with my life.

[angelicMisha]

...erm... xD

[mayhnaus]

That's a killer-song! I'm amazed, never thought Billie Jean can sounds so cheesy :) Once I was singing this song on one karaoke party, and believe or not, my performance was soo bad (I missed a good half of lyrics), that I actually win the first prize :) Something awfully bad can become somehow good if it's bad enough...

[wookie72]

The opening sounds like "Break My Stride" by Matthew Wilder.

[jagoxo]

LOL

[sacredgeometry]

painfull wrong, why doesnt it get the mode right arrghhh so out of key

[123method]

REIMAGINED? ZERO IMAGINATION

[zellator]

it's just a program, dude

[forge2]

you must be kidding. the original bass line alone has more power and creates more tension than this whole arrangement. this is just plain boring.

[elishenell]

Love how people take these so serious!

[mayhnaus]

Yeah, it's really touching :)

[Albundy1982]

Nice Song i think its better than the original version. Michael's Voice is a bit to agressive for the wonderfull arangement.

[oldcomforter]

awesome - it actually is not that bad - sounds like a large professor remix, or kmd in a way

[raylou320]

Glad he didn't use Microsoft Songsmith! XDDDD But he knows music, so he wouldn't have used this EVER! ;3

[Goldalloudi]

Thank GOD its MICHEALS voice

[AWOLFNAMEMARTI]

Thank GOD its MICHEALS voice.  :)

[razor247ex]

funny XD

[Notanotherspambot]

Fist who? I think you're too old for Jackson's taste.
