At the Troubadour Club, West Hollywood, CA - June 25, 2009. For those in a hurry slide the start point to 1:54, as this version has the full spoken intro, (and untidily, the first few seconds of the next song ...).
Michael Jackson had died, aged 50, of an apparent heart attack earlier the same day. Amanda rearranged Billie Jean, added it to the set and performed it as a form of remembrance.
Michael Jackson was never a big part of my life growing up and Billie Jean was not a song that I particulary loved but this take on it by Amanda made my hair stand on end and moved me like the original never could.
[Tech note: If you let Windy's run for 49 seconds then start mine and faff around with the pause/play to get them in sync you get the high end sound of Windy's combined with the low end sound of mine with the two views of Amanda and that is ... err ... interesting? Maybe. End tech note]
[Tech note: The video is dark because ... it was dark. End of tech note]
[Random note: Al Yankovic was in the audience, as was her beau Neil Gaiman]

I agree. I don't like her voice much, but her piano playing is good. But anyway MJ did a much better job. OBVIOUSLY. Her boyfriend Neil Gaiman is here in town though, I'm so excited to see him! :D
