As a devoted MJ fan of 33 years who believes Billie Jean is the greatest song EVER (period), I love what she did with this version. And it only shows just how brilliant the song actually is on so many levels. It is a drama set to music and comes with the greatest single performance piece ever, as well. I'll put MJ performaing this live in concert up against any other artist in history.

Why does everyone who covers the song sing it slower?It is an energic song and it sounds much better if you guys sing it so..

I was there at the show and everyone had this look on their faces that said "We've lost someone great, but we are still in this together". It was amazing to be there for that. Not one person didn't have tears in their eyes. Thanks for posting this.

though i'm not that of a devoted mj fanboy i really do appreciate the artistic value of his songs and his influence and impact he did have on today's popular culture. still this very special by afp is just so absolutely thrilling i can hardly describe it. don't know why every little thing she does is just so bloody awesome. brilliant piece here and great tribute to mj.

It was very courageous to do this song at the time that she did, when everyone was SO sensitive to MJ covers, because apparently MJ was the only artist licensed to make music T__T
I think she did great, and I'm not a particular fan of either of them.

@SimohammeD007 I posted two versions. This is the long one, for Amanda Palmer completists and it captures how she felt about MJ, and why she even put this cover together, which is of interest to AFP devotees, but I'll admit probably not to anyone else. Also the description contains a link that takes you almost to the start of the song. The other version I posted is just the song.

@Johnny123456789x It's "Shores of California" - there's a cool official video for that song that you can probably find online
