Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" cover by Amanda Palmer (without her introduction)

Thursday June 25, 2009 at The Troubadour club in West Hollywood, CA

Michael Jackson, aged 50, had died of an apparent heart attack earlier that day. Amanda rearranged the song Billie Jean as a form of remembrance for Michael and added it to her set list for the night.

I have also posted a longer video that includes Amanda's description of how it was this song arrived in the set that night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTaI7pu-6ps

Wonderful cover. But seriously, what is UP with people singing along here? It kind of ruins it. It's a general thing People just chat away, even during quiet songs. "People" Why care if you ruin it for other people, your right to free expression is what matters....

The Dresden Dolls check it out for more of her.

she has a unique sound, the recording leaves something to be desired, but she rocked the house in chicago when they were here.
