I did one of this version of Billie Jean in your honor.

Do check it out. I'd love to get some feedback from you.

Also, do you have any suggestions on recording equipment I could use? (Mic / Video but primarily the Mic)

Thanks in advance and keep 'em coming!

[Dulcemayito]

excellent!!!

[MrBemba8]

I would buy your album

[ChildrenOfInfidelity]

Could we get tabs for this?

[welais]

oooooofftt...melt.

[Lippi55555]

Yo man do you use a special tunnig or it's simply standard e. Your version is awesome i would love to learn it.

[natyschmitt]

superbe !!! bravo pour cette magnifique version

[beardfetish]

u sound like sting

[TheDwLion]

Too much reverb on voice ! But great voice. The guitar is too simple (always the same thing...) but great cover because you have a good voice and interpretation

[prassecresia]

such a voice!

[effigysinger]

wwwwwoooooooooooowwwwwwwww! who expected that

[GayForJC]

@effigysinger about as much as i expected a 15 year old who can sing exactly like Johny Cash.

[coastcapri]

Probably one of the best covers of this song I have heard

[feldmannpaul]

Mm,very nice

[starwarsfreak1111]

I hear alot of Bruce Springsteen here! Great!

[legatotechniques]

awesome

[if1ookscouldkill]

i really like how he makes the songs his own instead of trying to be like the original artist..... thats a defining quality of a good artist

[lilpinkyluv]

Its hard to cover such an iconic song sung by and even bigger star like Michael Jackson but damn you did it. Phenomenal.

[natyschmitt]

excellent ! take my strong advice !!!

[kaylamilo]

its gotta bit of a sting (police) feel about the song i like it but? chris cornells version has conviction has real meaning something to wake mj up and start moving around  anyways each to their owns aye

[miraze100]

IS NOT GOOD! FOR THIS SONG I WANT STRONG CRAZY VOICE!

[Chick19940411]

gd job

[Chick19940411]

Y're best

[missepicwin]

holy shit

[brunodemoura]

less reverb please...

[thecosmichippo]

Best Billie Jean cover .. hands down. Incredible performance my friend ..

[annaxrachelle]

Do you have a CD, or are you in the process

of making one?

I'd pay money to see you. <3 

[Sweetguitarchick90]

this sounds so freaken good! its been a while since i heard a good cover!

[fisasnillur]

he looks like john mayer lol ;P

[theacousticanarchy]

Fucking incredible cover man!

[Androwyah]

I watched plenty of your videos.. You're a great player, both piano, and guitar, and you're vocals are very on key.. My only criticism as a musician is, I feel like you can handle raising your range, but you stay on a very stable, and low comfort zone, which i guess works, cuz it makes it almost impossible to miss a note, but sometimes when we're listening to songs kinda like this one, we wanna hear the higher notes come out sometimes.. All your videos, is the same range, for every song...

[kield27]

48 people died with MJ :)

[deepdishpurple323]

You won an ad in my facebook page ^^ You're so GREAT man!

[SHARUK89]

[MJjamalhogue]

i liked how you mad it your own but is a little to off for my liking but way to make it your own you have a great voice

[1steveke]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa love it :D

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

This is good, but far too overproduced for my liking.

[glyconerd]

way to go overboard on the reverb to compensate for your singing.

[moonspice1]

Man, that is the best I've heard yet, love it.

[kgiorgos]

Can you please tell me what equipment do you use to record?

[SickDa8n]

Ouh that's awesome !!

[Cruchindo]

Maybe switch that thing over to room reverb instead of freaking Concert hall and you'll be doing a little better :o) i like the jazzy thing though and great voice keep it up

[madsonicboating]

[skitzo5470]

Thanks for the "Jackson covers" playlist, it's awesome.

[kito1419]

[JMaciak19]

Could I please have the tabs for this song? Or just the chords you're using for the majority of the song.

[luenrik]

00:47 lol

[alxcornell]

Haha, that was pretty funny actually

[saul7404]

[HonneybunnyFratz]

[ibizaboyz]

nice interpretation

[JoshFaille]

heyyy... you stole this song from Michael Jackson.

[acousticaptitude]

you are genuinely retarded

[WhereMyDuragAt]

why are you wearing a woman's shirt? poser

[Charlottjuhhh]

Really beautiful with that guitar, You make your own style of this number, and that's really great, you're not trying to imitate MJ

[sjorsie13]

Nice voice

en nice swing i give you 5 stars !!!

[mikedowd66]

totally amazing the recorded mix of guitar and vocal Alex gets with one mic.

Simply genius.

Is that an SE mic?

[chelxeaty]

wow that was intense!! xoxo

i love how you made it as your own:)

[kurtmaltese]

good swing...

[srv194]

Best cover I've heard!

Great sounding guitar too!!

[bbsb300]

Great performance Alex, just a bit heavy on the echo/reverb but still outstanding stuff, Regards Billy ;)

[karfieldding]

guitar sound is excellent and your voice is sexy.

[chelxeaty]

kind of sounds like michael buble

[Budney420]

[donjarae11]

[lacrimoso89]

BRAVO MY FRIEND!

excelent voiceee

maxi, from argentina

[guridrummer]

good version! very very good version! :D

[kornrecolution]

M.J R.I.P

[MileSeventySeven]

well done

[zachguy]

this is awesome, very jazzy

[deepenough2die]

the sound of those taylors is incredible... if only they were gainable for people with a normal income...

[Ronnytrials]

Hey, great voice on there dude, congratulations, perfect voice. Keep going.

[sergiothebig]

Awesome simplely awesome.........this will be a great tribute to michael jackson

[dawggybonz]

wow. what a sound.

[enzonoa]

d'ou vien ton son ? , magnifique

[stabbaba]

amazing sound to  your video!!! truly first time i hear that kind of sound!!!! nice cover of the song!!!!

[johnnous]

nice work m8 ! i think thatg this jazzy version is very good ! keep it up ... nice chrome you have in your voice .. !

[perduaparis]

Bit boring there Alex. You're a good player and singer, you can do better than this. You played a very basic riff with Jackson's words; not the same song. If you had tried to do justice to the chorus it might have been better. Anyway, sorry for the critique, keep on posting your great vids.

[afiq200990]

that intro show off was unnecessary. sorry i just felt that the first verses were good. but when you entered the bridge to the chorus, it was a totally different song. i know for one fact that people can change covers to their own versions to make it sound nicer. but your's wasn't nice. sorry man! i felt it didn't do justice to mj. it totally became a different song that you stole lyrics from. wasnt good.

[danielssen13]

Nice cover man!

Guess that You R a fan of John Mayer too :) The same body language Your trying to copy. But this is a very good copy man! Really good!

[jabloniak24]

this cover is Very Good! good job man.

Greetings From Polish

[xhaxhibb]

i think its cool though... kinda jazz ... 5 stars from me

[Partoftheratpack]

I think this is pretty good.

[FCMosquito]

It's a nice cover, but I've hardly seen covers as ''cheerful'' as Michael's version. Almost all covers sound pretty ''sad'' (talking about mood, not about rating how good something is).

[micallo58]

wow i love this "blues" version of this wonderful song! 5 *

[lugfontaine]

you absolutely ruined this song by putting on your own spin on it..

[afiq200990]

agreed.

[lugfontaine]

glad someone agrees.. i have recieved 4 thumb downs.

[LadyDashwood]

wow this is awesone :D

[kentpham1412]

I Miss MJ...........

[fudgebucket55]

Awesome man, love the reverb.

[D4veb4ksh]

That's good. Thank you !

[vintaaaaage]

you are really good

one of the best adaptions i've heard

nice job mate :)

rip michael jackson

[jefferyt1971]

7th's and +9th's galore. Love it.

[GuitarClapton777]

Merci la Nouvelle Star

[soulscapes]

Wow! Fantastic interpretation........love the blues feel especially the intro and the vocal style! Thanks.

Play on!

[threelittlebirds7]

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON - this is a beautiful rendition

[Fretfeeler]

Sounds like you're playing in a tunnel. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much reverb.

Otherwise good original cover though. :)

[sirfunkyguy]

a bit to much echo

[Jakov77]

Amazing.

You gaved that song a complete new dimension.

[SaladTaste]

Is there like a tab of this somewhere? :o

[Paul777Jr]

AWESOME =D

[yeccio]

Great! :D

[callmeleo00]

Have you considered trying it without the echo? It sounds incredible nonetheless, but maybe a fresher rendition would really highlight the emotion in the song. Juat a thought, well done!

[lukasricci]

amazing!...

this version makes me cry...
