Michael Jackson covers.

It irritates me a lot that people think that Fall Out Boy can sing his songs better than he can and Alien ant farm and whoever else had tryed and failed to do his songs justice. Do you think that anyone who has done any of his songs has done it better or improved it because I can't think of any that have come close!

i like the new version of beat it off thriller 25 if that counts
but that's more of a remix with fergie
but i find that a lot better than the original and i don't even really like her.

lmao at this thread.
FOBs version is epic. Much better.

I dont think Fall Out Boy thought they're version is 'better'. Its like a dedicated song, not a 'we are better than MJ song'. Its based on what people like, some people like the original over FOB, I like FOB over the original as a pop punk / rock fan. Alien Ant Farms song is alright, video > song.

Epic? What an over-exaggeration. People like you make me laugh! Haha let me guess skinny jeans are 'epic' aswell? And so are fringes? Haha you are laughable.

I quite like Akon ft MJ, that is a pretty damn good "cover".

[newWORLDorder]

Actually I cant stand skinny jeans and fringes. I guess your trying to label me with the 'Emo' sterotype. Wow, I pity your parents.


But no, I dont use the word epic as in, Mega amazing, I mean it as, yeah, its cool. Its a good song, nothing spectacular. If you want a spectacular song, anything by RHCP .

Oh, you like the Akon version? I suppose you think guns and drivebys are 'pretty damn good'

[stickwitu]

the FOB cover is crap, it's not epic whatsoever because it's been done before.
i like their music but pleeeeeeease you say that is better than an icon like michael jackson??? pfft.

[ClassicLegend]

FOB cover I dont like, have any of you heard Son Of Dorks version of I want you back (Jackson 5) cover? He kills it. It was a good idea but some bits in the song are godo but others are just like roadkill!

[The Undertaker]

The FOB & AAF covers aren't crap. They're justr not as good as the originals.

I agree. ^^
Personally I love the original songs better although some of those new remixes were pretty good.

[DrLacero]

Fallout Boy and Alien Ant Farm's covers can't hold a candle to Jackson's original. I do however think that Chris Cornell's cover of Billy Jean was better than the original.
