The drummer is like "Ah, a Sunday walk in a park".

[@07Lalli]

So full.. The sound engineering on this is 💯. drums, bass 😲, keys (!!).. I'm going to listen again.

[@prakashxavier]

Drummer is killing it!!! Brilliant arrangement!!

[@LICMovies]

+Prakash Xavier at 1:02 i don't know how he can go so fast on the snare with his left hand... it's in sane

[@prakashxavier]

Well not so much about the speed of his hands. Hes done great justice to the music on the whole and sits just right and tight on the groove and hits!

[@LICMovies]

I didn't know about that name but good to know. Thanks!

[@TheIoaaanes]

+Prakash Xavier POOOOCKEEEET !!! His groove gives me chills !

[@jryan8374]

This piano player is literally a prodigy sent from God.

[@pastaboinch]

[@JohnNugroho]

[@Gauseltown]

That's a great version of this song. Such a fine group of so many talented musicians! Can we hear some more, please ?

[@AndrewSurman85]

after watching all Berklee videos, i'm feeling like shit. I may have to start working as a drug dealer than a musician

[@clintonr.6581]

Let me apply for this college real quick

[@louisgiannamore]

that drummer has got some mad groove

[@TelevisorMusic]

This right here. Those bass licks are sublime.

[@danieldelgado9912]

The drums and the piano, totally amazing. This video made me feel like I don't know how to play drums anymore. Amazing, great musicians.

[@babybosseventssdnbhd1993]

What SNARE was the drummer playing on? Love that tone.

[@GeloGalvez]

Michael would be so proud, this is brilliant! :D

[@tawtam1]

When I saw Berklee College of Music, I knew before I listened how good it was going to be.

[@drh818]

[@liamdempsey9352]

You know its nasty when the drummer and pianist mean mugging at the end portion

[@pnojazz]

Nicely done Berklee! Loved the arrangement. And the pianist and drummer are off the charts!

[@jorgemontes6496]

Mr Mikadze, you are a great musician ¡¡ beautiful harmony, tienes mucha idea de un gran arreglista, como lo fue Ravel en su época... Me agradó el rap... Congratulations, from México city

[@gregd.8139]

Well that's what I call a cover! Brilliant !

[@cheick-tidianeboundi9621]

that is intelligece whith only sevrn notes from a style to another one . Michaej jackson is still alive !!

[@xXSprMgaAwsmFxyHtXx]

I've been playing piano for 11 years and that guy makes me feel like... I can barely even describe it. It's sort of like a musical version of being best friends with an extremely beautiful, smart, and funny girl that you just can never get with no matter how hard you try. You can get some easy hugs, maybe even cuddle or steal a kiss if she's drunk, but never fully be with her romantically. Some guys can randomly hook up with her by using stupid tactics and pickup lines, but they can't stay with her because they aren't real. Special other guys somehow can date her, but you can never grasp how they do it. You think that maybe somewhere down the road she will eventually give you a chance, but it's not within the foreseeable future and you definitely will have to work very hard, physically and mentally, to get yourself to her level. So is it even worth it? Anyway, this guy is amazing. I hope y'all liked my metaphor :)

[@Kraign45]

that's deep bruh. I feel ya

[@GermanCol]

Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot whaaaat?

[@okonh0wp]

+Super Mega Foxy Awesome Hot yeah, well that's what you get for studying at Berklee. It takes lots and lots of concentration.

[@natsusalamander6887]

Is the pianist / arranger a student ? If yes , what major ? :)

[@dariuscottingham1116]

I really hope i get the chance to go to Berklee for college. That would be a dream come true!!!

[@AVeryNormalAesthete]

36 dislikes for this AWESOME, i repeat, AWESOME video? really don't understand this

[@martinpopple3774]

Hi all you people loving the band. Why ask which snare was the drummer using, you only hit a drum, yes (well and with feel and technique). My 2 daughters got grade 8 uk violin and cello and chiefly got wiped out by the loud shit in most of the concerts they played in at school. Loud is not cool! I'm an ex french horn player, now double bass and 5 string fender bass player so I get my revenge back ha with modern amps. Keys play awesome harmony obviously. Please listen carefully. Music is not surface, local web, "who said what too whom". Not for me. It's amazing. Bother to listen, for yourself, and go back to those who composed before. Is Berklee a shining example, no idea, wished I'd had the chance to go in 1972, when hearing fusion in the UK. Is there a get a life app yet, I suspect not. It's mostly about spending your life, refining and bothering to learn.

[@reaychandler8837]

Fabrizio u were 50% and the others 50%.. I feel that u kicked ass with those drums the arrangement has done itself justice

[@joycandelaria8419]

Superb performance , i like this arrangement ! and i miss Michael J.

[@TheNewVocal]

Hi from Singapore! Wishing you'd have a nice evening =)

[@nelly6016]

Berklee gets good drummers like how Alabama college football gets good running backs

[@Bashanvibe]

this arrangemenrt is beautiful!!! MJ would be so pleased if he as alive today!!!!

[@GiorgiMikadze]

+Bashanvibe THANKS

[@Bashanvibe]

Your welcome sir

[@Kata_Rin]

Ahh my childhood friend goes here now! It’s nice to see what goes on there. I play piano but I’m a Biochemistry major at my university, and I like to find out what I’m missing out on for not becoming a professional musician. It’s beautiful.

[@jordanchung8233]

[@JDavidChilders]

Giorgi Mikadze has done Quincy Jones proud. Thank you for your arrangement contribution.

[@JazzizCafeLoveJazz]

Wow! Amazing version! Love it! Thanks for share it! Es fascinante descubrir músicos como Giorgi Mikadze en los vídeos de la Berklee College of Music, ver toda una nueva generación de músicos llamando a la puerta es refrescante. Sus alumnos suman más de 250 premios Recording Academy / GRAMMYs!!! A mi esta versión del "Love Never Felt So Good" de Michael Jackson me parece extraordinaria. Mikadze es un gran pianista de conservatorio que proviene de Tbilisi en Georgia. #SmoothJazz

It's not easy to improve on a modern- day classic, but Berklee somehow has. I enjoyed it immensely, especially the drummer. Soulful rendition.

[@MJFFC]
