Ian Brown Billy Jean (Michael Jackson Cover)

[DeBetNiamh]

This is well better than the original GO IAN!

[tcftsist]

amateur

[UseYourAppetite]

Liked the verses but not a big fan of the chorus, still a good effort from a legend!

[chlobrierrrx]

love his voice!! so english!

[LoveEtc100]

I adore MJ, and I used to think that this song should just never be covered..... until I heard this. Adore this version and Ian Brown!!

[MILOKU8]

so cool!



[TheLibertineMod]

if only this was the original!

[marysimon]

nice...



[JonnyKasabian]

I see why Hardcore Jackson fans cannot love this. But while im mainly more Ian Brown fan I love Ians groove more than original. but When tune is good the original must be cool also.

[masterofillusion1]

No way near as good as original but fair play to Ian Brown. Always admired him as an artist. Respect.

[bantammenace]

This version stands out from the original because no children were harmed in its production..(allegedly)

[ekiumy]

@bantammena NOT RIGHT BUT VERY FUNNY!!!!

[tcftsist]

@bantammenace the allegations were never proved you nonce

[berneyz1]

Ian Brown I love you man. But this shit is awful :(

[SURVIVOR1796]

This Is Terrible

[tunemunger23]

Listen cyco-anna ian brown could sing this underwater an it would still sound better than mickie mouses ok, might go an watch some paint dry, an then BLOW bubbles if peter pan dosn't object :-/

[crob187]

this sucks.. chris cornell version wasn't that great but much better than this.

[TheMJJThriller25]

i hate this version ! It isn´t billie jean !!

[NicolaMc01]

Nothing like a bit of Ian Brown to brighten your day :-D

[tunemunger23]

Sounds fukin a million times better than jacksons ha ha ha ha.....................

[ausria8swan]

@tunemunger23 If "Jackson" didn't perform this song, Ian Brown's version wouldn't have existed. No Offense.

[Cyborganna]

@tunemunger23 You trippin' dude, you trippin'! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[mokisounds]

nice one

[summerswot]

FEAR is alright , still wouldnt blow me away either lads sorry .

[sugarraygras]

@summerswot REIGN BY UNKLE WITH IAN BROWN

[summerswot]

Just Terrible...why would anyone want to cover a Michael Jackson song and I certainly dont think Mr Brown is talented enough to do a good job on this anyway,its not a clever cover ,not inspiring ,not creative, this is just boring to my ears anyway , sorry guys .

[Caveej]

@summerswot he's more talented than your poppy music head can get your head around.

[Caveej]

@summerswot check out F.E.A.R by Ian, then you'll begin to appreciate his work

[campbelllovescock]

@summerswot ur loss mate

[winston2582]

missvindication this was covered years ago, not just to tribute the kings passing!

[MissVindication]

I appreciate the tribute but I don't like this at all.... and by the way... It's BILLIE Jean actually....

[komraid]

@MissVindication Not in manchester it's not kidder...



[busbyboy77]

Nice (:

[HonkyCat90]

Awesome

[shit311]

BOSS!

[TheCyberbedouin]

Lenon Jean

[Degs421]

best ever billie jean cover

[BlondeRocknRoll]

likin this ..brownie soundin smooth as fk.. class..

[kevyk999]

not bad at all :)

[SlimDoggnAztec]

i personally think this is better than the original. xD

[Vestan77]

I think he's overstretched himself a bit here. Sure the Stone Roses were great, but I think Ian Brown slightly overestimates his own abilities.

[stevendelargy]

i like u mate....stop beeing a nob

[TheChewbaka42]

what a musical genius and a legend...typical mr brown sound.awesome.

[3lizza]

Ian Brown is so sexy.

[sambo6221]

fuckin rubbish oni 1 jacko,but a like ian brown jst dnt like this song.

[666blindrider]

I remember Ian finished up the concert in the El Ray theatre in L.A. brilliant!

[klugshiter]

verkackter dreck und klingt scheiße....... armer micheal..RIP

[klugshiter]

verkackter dreck und klingt scheiße....... armer micheal..RIP

[MsChristian07]

Great cover,Ian Brown it´s a tremendous singer.

[peterdcarter1]

BRITAINS GOT TALENT

[ogfunk187]

@peterdcarter1..not at football

[norriebhoy]

WOW! Brownie you're the kiddie!

[stoofighter]

ian brown is a borin fag

[AliceSoundgarden]

I think that Chris Cornell's cover of Billie Jean works better. There's no doubting the genius of Ian Brown though!

[dalegrett]

WTF????!!!! XD

[SkaboudlesIRL]

I'm not knocking Ian Brown, but it's laughable to compare him to Michael Jackson. What the hell are you guys smoking?!?!?

[ThatIsAnAndroid]

Ian Brown is a much better artist than Michael Jackson.

[EddieJames1000]

@ThatIsAnAndroid WHAT!!!!!! r u crazy?!?!

[masterofillusion1]

@ThatIsAnAndroid That's the funniest thing i've heard all day. Quality mate!

[omario8816]

At least its a much better cover than that Chris Cornell version. Ian brown is a top bloke.

[danmcm123]

What a load of shite, destroys an awesome song

[Parklife74]

@danmcm123

Ian Brown >>>>>>>> Michael Jackson

[ChrisDude81]

Now I know where to get some good heroin. :)

[Jdola11577]

not all remakes are created equal, and this one didnt make the mark

[inspiralroses]

Well, mister Honest! Brownbashing might make you get any part of your body any higher, BUT: I saw this man sing and work on stage, and he was very generous to the audience, so then show a little decency when judging Mister Brown. This man CAN play an instrument: he sings, and there is no deeper way to open your soul to the world than with a voice, so if you dont like him, then go and listen to Limahl fucking Kajagoogoo, Caught in the Act or Boney Fucking M!!!

[abbielovesoasis]

@inspiralroses verry true he is verry generous to his audience wich is reely nice tht for once an artist apreciates the fans tht pay to come and see them

[DIRTBIKER250F]

Didn't know a pre requisite to being a good artist was you had to be Handsome/Pretty. Go watch Lady Ga Ga and leave the music to the adults you goons

[Mr28PIE]

Bunnypunker: MUTO

[VikingBerserker1987]

ok lets be honest... the guys a nonce. hes ugly as a turd on the street floor. he has no charisma. he cant sing for shit. he cant play any instrement at all.... and hes a complete dick to his fans... how again is he a genius? oh forgot to mention most of his songs are not actually written by him either.... what a complete cock.

[dazzz99]

the guys got more funk than you in his fookin cock.....

[VikingBerserker1987]

nonce

[gigerincal]

this isnt very good but his thriller is really bad. i love some other stuff he's done

[campbelllovescock]

its alright

[Katie1988xx]

crap

[Mr28PIE]

Chi cazz'é Ian Brown?

[Bunnypunker]

@Mr28PIE Do you know who the stone roses are???If you don't then,perche' cazzo sei rompipalle?

[VikingBerserker1987]

fuckin pedofile

[charbyteU]

vindicated innocent of alleged allegations.. we weren't there so be fair

[fabinoful]

sssss!!! que shingon esta el cover... es un master este k!

[isrina]

Que buen cover saludos desde México City Ian rule´s

[jizlober1]

i like this actually,ian brown is awesome..saw him at the o2 arena in birmingham just b4 xmas...just the best

[MrSly87]

ian brown is the fuckin man seen him in berlin and hamburg what a feller

[SmoothCriminal0401]

No one... But I think he should sing the real text! He sounds like a little bit strange...

[lordblighty]

I'm a massive Brown fan, but this is f*cking criminally crap!

[balesy1974]

Totally agree, what on earth was he thinking when he done this?

[charbyteU]

disagree Brownie's diverse and expanding his reportoire as all great performing artists should but MJ's version is classic

[balesy1974]

@charbyteU

Sorry, our opinions on Ian Browns' genuis differ here, but I think this cover is awful, and there's no, ifs, whats and buts about it.

If everyone agreed on everything the world would be such a boring place.

[jonnytheoasisfan]

@balesy1974 It could be better when Im not that familiar to original song. Ian made it totally his own.

[SmoothCriminal0401]

It´s partly the wrong text!

[djolivierastro]

who said that when covering a song you have to stick to the lyrics of the original?

[johnnycheck99]

This is possibly the worst cover version i have ever heard. Brown's voice has never been his strongest point and in this instance it is effing dreadful- jesus, it sounds like it was recorded in his garage.

[Stabesy]

Ian Brown needs to stop smoking cannabis..

[curlymolly70]

lol terrible

[jonnytheoasisfan]

I kind of like these rapes are better ones than original versions..

And I think king monkey is more like king of popmusic than Jackson was. And MJ is out of this world these days. so what's left? IAN BROWN

[stefscommando]

aye exactly, the tracks he puts out are emence but he just can't re-create them live, a wouldnae hold it against him, a bet thers no1 in the world that can recreate those tracks like he done in the studio

[exteriorzulu09]

bollox mate i seen him in dublins pheonix park(the biggest park in europe)...in a fuckin huge carnival tent and his vocals were amazing(08).and reverand and the makers were cool too

[vila4480]

@Sanguru100

his songs are different, great tunes: unlikely tunes original instruments great voice perfect lyrics.

you dont like it dont complain and dont insult - click mute instead... its easy... trust me!

[jonnytheoasisfan]

YOU JUST BEING MEAN ;;((

[coullette]

white ppl have no rythm.

and i'm saying this as a white person.

[arsecandle1]

did you steal that right from eddie murphy raw? haha thats a fuckin ridiculous statement

[Badhead90]

great version and Ian's voice as always is amazing on record!

also keyboards remind me "Riders on the storm" by The Doors, very beautiful sound

[TALIBANBOYOreturns]

Yeah, but he often shit live... vocally.

[gtc123killie]

How can anyone NOT like this, its fuckin rockin, Brownie is the geezer

[111danwatts]

i love this version

[supreme76]

Original better

[trancekid22]

its not about one being better than the other. 2 completely different songs

[SCRIBESCREEN]

Ian's da man I got all his albums still like unfinished monkey business best though!!! got to give it to the guy hes done great since leaving stone roses

[spinkwotzer]

Not sure this works

[stockysflyindutchman]

ste257 your a cock

[ste257]

ur a fuckin wanker lad uve killed a fuckin good song u TIT

[webed6]

yeah, go on... call Ian Brown a tit.. you obviously have no musical knowledge.. you're the wanker.. judging by your use of the word 'lad', seems to me as though you are into that MC and rap shit...

[ste257]

wt the fuck r on about ya daft cunt i dnt listen 2 rap or MC its fuckin shit u daft twat. u fuckin mug

[webed6]

ooohhh dont insult me by calling me a mug... its really hurtful that... you are still musically illiterate if you think he is a wanker and no he hasn't wrecked it...

[ste257]

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr get ova it u idiot

[SushiShinoda]

yeah i don't like this :S

[GavMcD1]

This man... Shear Quality!!!!!

[543kerry543267]

IAN BROWN IS A PURE LEGEND

[xxredxdrewxbullxx]

this guy is the god of music in the 90's you twat

[Quarterblood]

jesus - ban this slug from making music please!!! how much shyte can this twat churn out before folk wake up to the fact he is utter pish?!?!

[RobHeath1983]

I like this take on the song.

Easy listening :)

[murfia1972]

Wife beating little prick,threatens an air hostess......what a twat ian brown is.

[JesusLover982]

that's not even how you spell "Billie Jean" Hahaha!

[andymac9870]

pure class I met ian brown at Camden jazz cafe cool as f*~k man new album awsome

[brewlio]

poisionarrowclean you're just a foul mouhted little gimp. so you're saying that everyone should have the same taste in music and regard pedo's version as better (rolls eyes). Get a grip you cockbiscuit

[brewlio]

Only Ian Brown could turn this Jackson shite into a classic.

[poisionarrowclean]

shove it u fucking cunt, u just dont appreciate legendary talent

[brewlio]

Jacko was a filthy kiddie fiddler, and your a fecking cock. Kiss it boy arms.

[poisionarrowclean]

reality check: u can kiss MY ass when was the latest time ian brown or u sold most records in fucking history? hmm waiting for a reply on that one. cunt

[guybrush69]

[guybrush69]

[poisionarrowclean]

[BerSerKer2k8]

looks like youre just traumatized cuz ur bumfuck dad raped you in your childhood.. but its okay.. let all your anger out.. ;)

[poisionarrowclean]

"Only Ian Brown could turn this Jackson shite into a classic"

whoa sounds like u know music there u fucking stupid ass faggot.... lolol as if billie jean wasnt a classic already... ya only single on the most sold out album ever. go fiddle with a kid u no more about that than music

[CuntsFuck]

LOL, pie... I heard that too!? Surely not? Singer? Never!

Sick, dirty, twisted, bastard, paedophile, with genius lawyers, and parents of abused kids more interested in the pay cheque than their childs welfare... in fact, co-accused, by sending their babies to a perverted, kiddy-fiddlers home, and bed... DEFINITELY!

Must be some mistake! A filthy, detested, prick like that would have been sent to prison.....

......... wouldn't he?

[DUBSHARK]

Worst attempt to troll evar. So bad infact, I think you are actually serious lol.

[Otherside122]

he's a brit, from manchester!

[kgeorgog]

to Angeliki, afieromeno glykia mou :)

[gantini1975]

ian brown rocks it

[donlerz]

best version

[thenerd99]

OMggg this is awsome

[Stoby1973]

johny678 - this song is on cd single, released on the dolphins were monkeys single, get that and this will be on there.

[MoonwalkerWorshiper]

Ian Brownie moonwalking a little

[johny678]

where can someone find this song? I've been trying for quite some time (years) to find it on cd or on mp3 but without any luck!!!

[Anderley93]

shud av sang "shes just a girl who knows that THIS IS THE ONE!"

seriously though, love it!

[RobotNinjaShark09]

Good cover. Even someone like me who isn't Ian Brown's biggest fan can see he's really stamped his mark on the song.

[Kookoooo1]

no one will sing a better cover

[x24lop]

i think its not so brilliant like this from the king!

[lechameleon]

brilliant, you gotta understand Ian Browns style before commenting

[Mullers3D]

A beautiful cover

[jacobwaley]

cheap and fucking gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[analbeard1976]

I'm busting for a shit right now!

[Partoftheratpack]

I think this is ok

[dessiefish]

Ian's a great musician but some of the side stuff like this is quite frankly woeful.

[AnEclecticMusicFan]

Ian could have done so much more with this. disappointing

[Portis1Luv]

This is a good cover to listen to whilst coming home from a all nighter in the middle of the the woods......pass me the hemp papers.

[thekinster1867]

Ian Brown - God like genius.

[paulmca2001]

one word for Ian Brown - LEGEND

Although I don't like these Jacko covers too much...

[sparkymac]

THIS GUYS A BLOODY TIT!

ruined this song.

not that his other bullcrap is any better!

[Garner2092]

I'm sorry but you need to be re-educated in music sunshine

Ian Brown does a very good cover and I believe what you're referring to as bullcrap is called music where I come from...blimey you have shit vocab skills
