I love that Remember the Time cover by Kina Grannis and You are Not Alone :)
Beautiful!

Aw, yay, I love this one too! So sweet. Looks like they had fun too.

[Ashtanga]

I love the version that the Brazilian singer Fernanda Abreu made "Rock With You". It was wonderful!


Here is the video:

(Sorry, I have not learned how to post videos! :()

[NinaB]

^ The acoustic on that one is nice :)

[littlesparrow]

I really love this version of "Billie Jean" by Caetano Veloso, who's a genius in his own right...

Starts to get really good around :35

[Prince Of Pop]

None. No one does it better than Michael. There should be a law....no one covers MJ songs.

[meena76]

^^^^^^^

As much as I hate to say it, I agree with u. No one, I mean no one can do it like Mike. It really should be....

[DuranDuran]

Since I'm a Chaka Khan fan, I like her version of Got To Be There. It's not on Youtube because Warner Brothers tends to block their music.

[DuranDuran]

I like Jose' Felicianos' version of "Billie Jean". Chris Cornell's cover is nice as well. I like how he changed the arrangement. Maysa did a cover of "I Can't Help It" that is good. I also heard a bossa nova cover of "Remember The Time", but I don't know the singer's name. I think it was in a thread here somewhere. But it's good, and I like bossa nova music anyway.

[Campari]

This one is amazing!!!

My favourite since its release in 1995 is Billie Jean by The Bates. The video is cool too. The singer died an equally tragic death at an even younger age :(

[PrincessMichaela]

Don't compare. This was just a week after her 13th birthday. =P And they were just having fun. Definitely not the best cover and most definitely doesn't showcase her true talent (which is Broadway and Disney =P) but I'm posting anyway 'cause she's a friend and it's sweet. =)

Also, Lea Salonga <3. (Just watch the intro here, the performance in better quality is below) It's really amazing the difference between the way America viewed him and the way some other countries did. They got him, they knew what he was about and what his message was.

[vinnyme]

I really like that "Rock With You" duet! MJ gives me the chills with those harmonies - but I definitely enjoy a good cover, regardless of the artist. It's hard to put a good twist on a MJ track because he totally twisted music himself.

[BunnyHead]

Ummm can I count Pattie Labelle and that other guy's version of "Will You Be There" at the NAACP awards??

...and is it bad that I dislike Charice on "Heal The World"???
I'm sorry, it's just that she has to much of that forced voice, I will always like Judith Hill's version.

[Susannah61]

None. No one does it better than Michael. There should be a law....no one covers MJ songs.

Agree no one does it better Michael's the Best.

Not at all, I'm totally with you there. ...Not a Charice fan :no: I just posted it 'cause I love me some Lea. :wub:

[BunnyHead]

^thx lol
btw Charice is a lucky girl cuz Michael chose her to dance with him for "This Is It" :(

Agree no one does it better Michael's the Best.

This makes me think about how that guy on American Idol butchered "MITM"
Lawd that was awful.

....But (please dont kill me) I loved Adam Lambert's take on "Black or White"
it was cute
