On a side note, one of my best mates in High School in Wagga Wagga was Gavin Jones...Miss the bloke! Damn, but Chris managed to drive deep and enmesh phenomenal emotion and musicianship in everything that he did!!!!!
He is greatly appreciated n be honoured for all his life lessons he is still sharing w the world we know today n Forever my friend he will always be apart of my journey through everyday much love always
One of my best friends was a black guy whose mom owned a record store, back when that was still a thing. He knew more about music than most people could ever discern. I played this song for him and he was impressed by not just the vocal range but by the emotion that went into the song. RIP Chris and you too Louis. Miss you both.
I'm embarrassed to admit this🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ this is the first time I've heard his version and I'm missing his voice more than ever..... Chris will always be my Rock God!!
Fuck I miss him so much...Soundgarden brought me & my older brother together in the early 90s. That plus Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains & even collaborations like Temple of the Dog, what an amazing era to be alive & really experience this art when it was new & exciting.
This arraignment definitely puts more feeling into this song, and Chris's performance is totally aamazing, but if you break down MJs Billie Jean, and isolate his vocals and really listen to what MJ did throughout the entire song I believe he is unmatched. The subtleties and layers of his voice are implemented into every second of the original song including beung used as an accompanying instrument to the synth. There's a great vid on yt that shows this, the name escapes me...take a listen and you may have a new respect for what Michael did as well. Rip Chris. 🙏
This has been my favorite cover song for quite some time. He took a pop song from an artist I never really cared to listen to, slowed it down and completely changed the whole feeling of the song. Sheer brilliance. So much talent. RIP Chris.
My God!! Chris is proof that something created this world that we inhabit. There is no way something as beautiful and talented as Chris happens by accident.
Damn it. Just damn it! Another tragedy. Another legend gone. I'm hurt, but I can't imagine what his kids and wife are feeling right now. He left us so much to remember him by though.
man i cant handle this Chris had so much soul to sing and makes you feel everything goosebummps im in tears over him and i just really discovered Chris though pandoara radio and i fell hard for his voice now i have everything he sang
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
Just discovered this gem. Kind of seems autobiographical now, if you think about his personal life and how he met/married wife #2. Eerie and on-point. ❤
One of the true tests that I use to separate true talent from the rest of the people with a microphone are the ones that can cover a song, have it sound amazing, and put their own unique spin on it. Between this and his Nothing Compares to You I am simply blown away. I didn't realize Chris was so immensely talented. He is right up there with Paul Rodgers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the lesser known but equally talented Danny Bows.
This is the way this story was meant to be told. For the listener you’re meant to sit back, sway, and feel every smoldering emotion. Not dance to it while smiling and groovin’ the way MJ did it. But that was his style.
This is how you cover a song and really make it YOUR own version of how you interpret, hear, feel, and relate to the song…I’m so tired of hearing songs being covered that are just being played like the original. Nothing special about it when it’s done like that
I'm serious I was in the rock rap country everything I love music I know about the old schools in the new schools is there anybody that has ever did it better than Chris Cornell? R.I.P
It never really affected me when a musical artist or celebrity died but Chris's death was something else. It hit me bad. He was my absolute favourite singer from my favorite band and it hurt alot 😔
Actually quite a few people do this. You are just looking in the wrong spot,. Putting in the wrong search parameters. There is a guy who dresses up like a clown ( no disrespect intended) and does covers with his own take on them. He has an amazing voice as well.

Whether a cover or an original song he is surely one of the greatest vocalists of all time
On a side note, one of my best mates in High School in Wagga Wagga was Gavin Jones...Miss the bloke!
Damn, but Chris managed to drive deep and enmesh phenomenal emotion and musicianship in everything that he did!!!!!
He IS the GREATEST...aside from that amazing vocals he could play every instrument in his bands
I miss Chris Cornell and his gorgeous voice and beautiful face so much! Rock in peace sweet heart!
Everything Chris touched turned to gold, RIP
I'm never going to think of this song in the same way.
I love how Cornell has taken a classic and added another vocal dimension to it!
Omg, how on earth have I missed this!! , absolutely stunning acoustic version
Just like Johnny cash did with Hurt, Chris took this song and made it his own. R.I.P gone but never EVER forgotten.
Amazing comparison!
He is greatly appreciated n be honoured for all his life lessons he is still sharing w the world we know today n Forever my friend he will always be apart of my journey through everyday much love always
I couldn't have said it any better then that
Agreed! 🎯
i feel this carries the same mood. Cash's hurt was a little more depressing compared to Trent. Cornell covers are the best!
One of my best friends was a black guy whose mom owned a record store, back when that was still a thing. He knew more about music than most people could ever discern. I played this song for him and he was impressed by not just the vocal range but by the emotion that went into the song. RIP Chris and you too Louis. Miss you both.
Gone way too soon. Rest in peace Chris.
PURE JUNK.
A musical talent, gone way too soon
I'm embarrassed to admit this🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ this is the first time I've heard his version and I'm missing his voice more than ever..... Chris will always be my Rock God!!
Damn goosebumps and tears all at the same time. Such a talent. You left us way to soon. RIP
He pulled this off so freaking good it's amazing to me I can't get enough of it!!!
Oh I never heard this one. :) What a freaking legend.
May 18 Such a Sad Day... We Lost the BEST voice in Rock & Roll. Always Remembered and NEVER Forgotten...
RIP, Chris, you leave us with your music but you leave too soon. God bless you and yours.
The goat. Nothing more needs to be said
Fuck I miss him so much...Soundgarden brought me & my older brother together in the early 90s. That plus Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains & even collaborations like Temple of the Dog, what an amazing era to be alive & really experience this art when it was new & exciting.
Most amazing voice ever! His covers put the originals to shame. Unbelievable talent this man had, really sad his time was cut short.

I love his acoustic covers, shows the true talent and power of his voice. Such a shame he’s gone
This has been my favorite cover song for quite some time. He took a pop song from an artist I never really cared to listen to, slowed it down and completely changed the whole feeling of the song. Sheer brilliance. So much talent. RIP Chris.
THAT ARTIST IS MICHAEL FUCKING JACKSON!!
Good god this took my breath away.....
been listening to this on a loop. so shattered. so beautiful. rest in peace comrade
God Damn! I love this! His voice cuts through, but his choice in delivering lyric.... just awesome.
WOW. RIP That brought tears to my eyes.
I got goosebumps.........
gave me chills, the passion...
R.I.P.
I miss this boy so much. Rest in peace Chris.
Take my strong advice, and remember to always think twice. Do think twice!
RIP Chris, you were a God among insects. I pray that you have found peace in the next world.
Don't you think that is just getting out of hand. Maybe you consider yourself an insect... Please don't speak for the rest.of us.
love this man, rest in peace, Chris.
I had such a long time to shiver so much from a song. Amazing, I am paralyzed.
that's how you cover a song!
Christina Synodinou oops wrong buddy im mean wrong button
! Later () do you ? lol
Makes me sad to listen to his beautiful voice... the world lost a great one.
Isn't it just.
Christina Synodinou ....Absoultly
Now he deserves a cover done. But who?
My God!! Chris is proof that something created this world that we inhabit. There is no way something as beautiful and talented as Chris happens by accident.
Hauntingly Beautiful! Chris Cornell was such a beautiful Soul! Hope you found your peace! Thank you for all you gave us!!
The very best cover... ever... rest in peace Chris...
This gives my hair goosebumps
He just owned that song
One guitar one voice.
Sooo blessed to be apart of the Seattle scene...
Damn it. Just damn it! Another tragedy. Another legend gone. I'm hurt, but I can't imagine what his kids and wife are feeling right now. He left us so much to remember him by though.
man i cant handle this Chris had so much soul to sing and makes you feel everything goosebummps im in tears over him and i just really discovered Chris though pandoara radio and i fell hard for his voice now i have everything he sang
Unbelievable, wonderful, his voice touches you so deep!!! love it!!!

Love this to death.
What an angelic voice ....I need a drink... RIP
so much depth
in his voice
Supreme vocal & spirit. Amazing emotionality 💔🌹🌌
Sensacional como sempre! Amo tudo que vem de Chris Cornell♡
I usually HATE MJ covers because MJ is my favorite singer, but this is absolutely incredible. Very very good.
This is beyond wonderful I love it Michael would be proud
RIP. 2017 ...not another Great One Gone from Us .:(((( xoxo
rip Chris. you will be greatly missed
A voice like no other Brotha, I miss U
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
not the correct lyric, if you pay attention , he changed a lot of word
example .. scene became SCRENE

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER!!!

Tremenda voz! Genio!
WOW...2019 and I am still in awe!
Amazing version!
So good, Thank you Chris!
It's very sad that some people have to die before their greatness is recognized by the younger generation.
The best version! Stay in our memories...
He made it his own
RIP Chris 😥
Here's a thought... Chris Cornell deserves an amazing cover now. Who would be good to do it and what should they cover of his?! Tough question
czcams.com/video/h9I7gsUrS2c/video.html Check this out
Love his voice...
Holy hell this is an amazing cover version!
It doesn't get any better than this!
Brilliant Cornell. RIP homie
this is the only version ill listen to.
This is the way this story was meant to be told. For the listener you’re meant to sit back, sway, and feel every smoldering emotion. Not dance to it while smiling and groovin’ the way MJ did it. But that was his style.
this is the most legendary cover ever made, and i know i said it too late!!!
Amazing!!!! It's An awesome cover!!!
This is how you cover a song and really make it YOUR own version of how you interpret, hear, feel, and relate to the song…I’m so tired of hearing songs being covered that are just being played like the original. Nothing special about it when it’s done like that
R.I.P. forever in my heart
wow ... so damn good cover
Smooth soulful perfection.. RIP
Rest to Chris and Michael!
Just that voice makes me cry RIP CC Bro xoxoxoxoxo
I'm serious I was in the rock rap country everything I love music I know about the old schools in the new schools is there anybody that has ever did it better than Chris Cornell? R.I.P
OMG this is amazing! ,!!!
How can there be a just God when we've been robbed of Chris Cornell?
It never really affected me when a musical artist or celebrity died but Chris's death was something else. It hit me bad. He was my absolute favourite singer from my favorite band and it hurt alot 😔
WHO can do this?
WHO can think it up?
WHO can make it sound like it does?
WHO, WHO and WHO?
Michael jackson?
Actually quite a few people do this. You are just looking in the wrong spot,. Putting in the wrong search parameters. There is a guy who dresses up like a clown ( no disrespect intended) and does covers with his own take on them. He has an amazing voice as well.
