The best voice in rock and roll ever!

Michael Jackson did an amazing work hiding this darkness behind such a joyful song. Chris Cornell and Layne Staley will forever be my favorite voices!

I still cannot handle the fact that you're gone from us way too soon!!❤❤

MJ would have dug.

15 years ago... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGHYiHljaJx3d68 Chris Cornell was the best

🤫🌹🇮🇱

This version is way better than Jackson's

Wow ❤️

Odkryłem go niedawno , niesamowity głos , talent , mimo to że będzie zapamiętany na wieki żałuję , że go już nie ma i nie będzie więcej nowej twórczości …

I just found this. I’ve always loved the David Cook version on American Idol. Does anyone know who did it first?

2024 and literally just now hearing about this song! Holy hell this man gave this song a soul with his voice!

I have never approved of an MJ cover...... until now.... Just wow.... Chris❤ They always mess up classics and destroy them. If your going to do an MJ cover, you better dam* well be Chris Cornell! ❤️ Just amazing.... I only just found this. 💔

Beautiful typical chris cornell

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Holy 💩

Proably the veryyyy best COVER of all ttimesssss OMFG Chris ROCKED it

Absolutely brilliant!

He could sing anything! I mean ANYTHING!!!

one of the greatest covers of all time, such passion

Mike turns in his grave every time he hears this song.

Se te extraña tanto Chris😢

Love this. It pulled the visceral pain out of Billie Jean that the 80's couldn't handle and laid it out there like a Saw movie for everyone to see. This needed to be done.

Wow. Incredible

As great as a singer as this man is. And he is great. There is NFW this is better than new original.. . Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen no way this is better than those two. Hi and I am not a Michael Jackson fan.

Pembawaan lagu yang sangat buruk,bagaimanpun tetap MJ yang terbaik dalam membawakan lagu ini

This is nothing else matters from Metallica with verbiage from Billie Jean

Beautiful voice could sing anything and sounds beautiful. ❤

I like this better than MJs version. I’m sorry I know I’ll be hated for this comment but I must tell the truth.

Seen him in soundgarden back in 93. Oh he could sing alright.. R. I. P Mr Cornell

Lyrics : She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean, I am the one Who will dance on the floor in the round? She said I am the one, who will dance on the floor in the round She told me her name was Billie Jean, as she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the one Who will dance on the floor in the round People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts And mother always told me be careful of who you love And be careful of what you do 'cause the lie becomes the truth Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son For forty days and forty nights The law was on her side But who can stand when she's in demand Her schemes and plans 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round So take my strong advice, just remember to always think twice (Do think twice, do think twice) She told my baby we'd danced 'til three, then she looked at me Then showed a photo my baby cried his eyes were like mine (oh, no) 'Cause we danced on the floor in the round, baby People always told me be careful of what you do And don't go around breaking young girls' hearts She came and stood right by me Just the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon She called me to her room Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son Billie Jean is not my lover She's just a girl who claims that I am the one But the kid is not my son She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son She says I am the one You know what you did, (she says he is my son) breaking my heart babe She says I am the one Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover (don't Billie Jean) Billie Jean is not my lover Billie Jean is not my lover

2024

Still one thing of the best

❤😂🎉

❤❤❤

😮😮😮😮

Absolutely nailed it. I got chills...

Chris vocals and that guitar! Man, whomever got to see this live count yourself so blessed! This is a masterpiece and how should one tackles remaking a song and make it your own. Make it original and a complete sultry and beautiful and perfect song just simply breathtaking

❤

A true master of revised versions of songs. I don't know how I missed this man's work over the years.

He. Is. One. Of A. Kind!

Wow? Thats all I can say. Chris Cornell what a sad loss. RIP Chris

Great cover raw talent and such a voice 2024

❤ MM

This version strongly suggests the child IS his (the narrator, that is, one of Michael Jackson’s brothers). Remember DNA testing did not exist for the public until the 90s, so there definitely was this uncertainty and questioning at the time.

Michael IS so damn brilliant...

This was uploaded only a few months before Michael Jackson death

2024 and still here

Amazing cover!

..... to attempt this song in this way, was brave. He pulled it off because his voice shook the core of the lyric. I don't think many would pull it off. Bravo🌟👏👏
