Chris Cornell - Billie Jean

http://mindoverdrive.tumblr.com/

On his "unplugged" live performance, Chris Cornell (ex Audioslave, current Soundgarden) made a great version of a very popular Michael Jackson song called Billie Jean. Clearly, he made one of the best covers in the history.

Y la cultura y la inteligencia no son cualidades que deban de ser demostradas con extenuantes designios de grandeza en cada comentario que se haya de transcribir en internet. No eres más que un troll.

I'm sorry. I don't speak english, my comments are no better for that reason. Pero se me da mucho mejor escribir en español, probablemente mucho mejor de lo que tu lo haces en tu idioma. Si te ofende que una persona intente comunicarse con simpleza para hacerse entender y expresar un vulgar sentimiento es mucho mejor que te escondas en alguna cloaca y permitas a los demás vivir tranquilos. Gracias.

If ever there was proof serious musicians don't discriminate in terms of genre and just like and appreciate whatever they like and appreciate - and are thus a lot more open minded than many of their fans - this is it.

So the meaning is actually the opposite, it's a sad song but it's sad because this woman is so out of her mind and living a fantasy and is trying to manipulate and control this other person who she has idealized. Still a sad song though. What I find so painful about this version is it has none of the soul of the original, it's just some guy whose voice bugs me dragging on and on on his guitar and I find it extremely unpleasant to listen to. I just don't like music of this genre, just my opinion.

[thechu503]

Of course I've heard the lyrics. I love the Michael Jackson version of the song, it's WAY WAY better and I grew up listening to it. Also you have missed the meaning of the song: the song is about a woman who accuses a man of having fathered her child when he knows he has not. Jackson had experiences like this as did other singers around that time. He was actually accosted by a woman who insisted he had fathered ONE of her twins (I dunno how that works) and that they should have been together...

[LUKE Mikulich]

You say the song is painful, have you listened to the lyrics? The song is about a man that doesn't accept responsibility for fathering a child. That is painful.

[Antonio Vazquez]

I prefer this version over the original.

[Emper0rH0rde]

This version, in my opinion, trounces the original.
