  • wow..........very sexy on every level

  • Great take on a R&B classic..this idea of "classical" musicians not playing "classic" pop is so strange. The great thing about being American is our ability to live and thrive in our diversity. Linda Rondstat made many a Motown tune in C&W style, and Whitney's greatest hit is a Dolly Parton song! Ain't it great livin' in the USA!

  • It's very...very cute.!!

  • Lindo, lindo, se Michael pudesse ver sua música Billie Jean cantada dessa maneira com certeza ele iria gostar!

  • east meets west in a lovely configuration

  • There's a lot I like in what's done here, but I think the de-emphasis of the original compelling beat leaves a bit of it slightly ungrounded. With four hands, I'd expect both a complex bassline and the interesting melodic treatment in the tenor and treble. The bass rhythm was nearly inescapbly danceable in the original and is all but nonexistent in this arrangement.

  • Original, striking....EXCELLENT!

  • pretty neat. couldn't keep it in the original key though?

  • A lot of parts i can't tell it's Billie Jean :P

  • @Sisiyingying Because some of it isn't....

  • Reminds me of the movie, "Four Minutes."

  • I have the weirdest boner right now.

  • 8 people can't play piano

  • The playing is truly magnificent, but certain genres of music should be left alone. This is like singing Michael Jackson opera style. Great playing, however.

  • @bp0407 I didn't mean to down-play the technique on this, which is, indeed, top notch. (and that is an understatement...) :)

  • @bp0407: The life of Michael Jackson would make a great and interesting opera.

  • @RockyBalboa211 Perhaps you are right. I just didn't dig this, and my background is in music. BTW, I am not one of the thumbs down, because this definitely is NOT a thumbs down performance. It's a fantastic performance and worth in its own right. The arrangement just didn't didn't strike me.

  • Superb soundscape.

  • i'm digging B)

  • What a great find. I was listening to my classical station and they mentioned it, and I got up and went right to you-tube. I hope they will bring Motown over to the classics.

  • You guys are really really talented! Bravo !

  • great cinematography! wonder if they can see the piano keys in those sunglasses

  • I can't help thinking that if MJ were still around, he'd have this for an opening act. What do you think? He had an amazing appreciation for culture and all music. This would be perfect.

  • Wild and beautiful>>

  • Amazing! WOW!...MJ would love this!

  • I just met these two yesterday while running sound for them at a theatre. Fabulous players who are as nice as they are talented! It was such a joy to work for them.

  • if all boys and girls played the piano this would replace sex

  • This is just outrageously brilliant, as are they!

  • Deep and brillant!

  • This is absolutely brilliant and phenomenal in every way!

  • Wow! This has everything - style, wit, energy, passion, imagination, dexterity, complicity - and then some. Admirable!

  • This is just so great! I think we could enjoy a complete album of just Michael Jackson arrangements! The complexity and production are just top notch!

  • Wonderful!! Do you guys record and edit the video too? Because the quality is amazing!

  • Hey you guys were great:) how can I purchase the sheet music for this? I'm considering learning this with a friend for my music major year end recital.

  • Tree-men-doose! Loved it. Love all your videos. Is it just me, or does anyone else think the cameras are too busy. I could do with about 75% less jumping from camera to camera. (Old fogey, I guess!) Still loved it.

  • Happy New Year 2010, it
