I understand the need to make a tribute to MJ; I was the greatest. I think it's nice to see the band united for the cause. Well done.

Sawyer425 says – reply to this

I thought they did awesome. This was Coldplay putting their spin on it…not Coldplay trying to sound exactly like Michael Jackson. Nobody will EVER sound like Michael.

people are so harsh, it wasn't that bad. It was moderately good compared to other covers and tributes.

I'm not a fan of coldplay at all, but I was surprised by this. It's a good cover, with a unique twist. Finally someone's not trying to sound exactly like Michael Jackson.

Lame. I stopped it after 15 seconds. Should have tried to cover something else like dirty diana or something more in their wheelhouse…

. You are so right. Chris Cornell's cover is awesome .. what a voice!!
Sorael says – reply to this

haha and whats funny is that I don't believe many of you like MJ as much as you claim. If he hadn't died, I'm sure the butt-hurt intensity would be much less. Not everyone sounds like him, get over it.

Here in Rio de Janeiro, we used to say TOSCO when something is not good.
I love coldplay but this version to Billie Jean is terrible. Sorry folks!!
RIP Michael. Brazil loves you more.
Perez you're my idol!!
Cheers from Rio.

I'm a Coldplay fan. But this was so bad that I had to turn it off after a couple of minutes.

Y'all know if love MJ and Coldplay, but hey - that was great way to BUTCHER THE song that has been voted and claimed as the best pop song ever. That was not good at all.
riceball says – reply to this

39

Oh dear gawd, please don't encourage them, people. That was so awful it hurt me. I even went to this Coldplay show, and it was a really good show, and they are great live, but no, just no. Now I can understand why John Mayer didn't sing at the memorial. Bravo.

Damn… and Chris Martin had told me that he had written the song all by himself this time.

That wasn't bad…..but it wasn't very good either, and I love Coldplay
If you really want a unique and great version, you should check out Amanda Palmer's on youtube that was done the night of his death
Lalaloo says – reply to this

Fucking terrible. Just because they are Coldplay they think they can cover anyone and sound great…sorry boys, this one does not fly.
It was a piece of shit.
RIP MJ…

again… caught doing another artists song…
LadyPaul56 says – reply to this

63

Using just acoustic guitars…BRILLIANT! Christ Martin should have retained his own style of singing instead of trying to sing like MJ. Gotta appreciate the effort.
molengat1 says – reply to this

64

Love Coldplay but they pretty much f'd up this one. People need to stop trying riding the MJ bandwagon and move on. + Coldplay have so much better material and reputation than to play a cover like this.
kinkyblinky555 says – reply to this

65

Ew. Dear Chris Martin, please don't cover the King of Pop anymore. You don't sound like him. And, try the right key next time! Love me.

Coldplay are now paying tributes to pedophiles. Chris Martin is a fucking loser.
3dogsright says – reply to this

67

I like Coldplay, but that was absolutely putrid singing. The falsetto just didn't have a chance of working. Nice try as a tribute, but the singing ruined it. John Mayer had the right idea.

It was mediocre. I wish they would have put more effort in the singing. Kinda half assed it.

mj is rolling over in his grave with this rendition. bands want to jump on the mj bandwagon and recognize the guy but leave well enough alone will ya?

Re: volleyballerr – Rock bands do not suck, some of the most influential music artists were rock bands… like The Beatles, Kiss, The Rolling Stones.

You don't have to be an immature bitch just cause you don't like it,

Leave it to Coldplay to butcher the song. I'd like to see someone like Slayer do a MJ song.

Coldplay is sooooo over rated… ugh I just don't get their appeal. People only like them cuz all the hollywood douches decided that they were "cool".

Wonders why Perez keeps kicking her comments off this page… no links, no bashing Perez, just talking about others versions… getting paid by Coldplay?

that was crappy and bad. that guitarists needs to loose some weight. I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson, but that is an insult to him and his music, shouldn't be allowed!!

Re: imceecee – I'm sure they know they'll never do it like Michael. It's just their tribute to him which I think is nice.

Eh. I could only listen to 33 seconds. They would have been better off just shouting Michael out.
Flowerchildpr says – reply to this

92

this cover came from SHITsville in coldplay land! they totally ruined the song, the guitar sounds like he just learned to play it, they fkd up the song completely! Michael deserves a better effort, besides not everyone has to try to do a cover of MJs music, especially when they SUCK!
SamanthaB says – reply to this

93

Un-painfully-fucking-believably lame. Can you imagine Michael Jackson covering any of their crap?
Megan Fox Before Nose and Lip Surgery says – reply to this

94

It is good, given it's impromptu. I love the chorus. The chorus is the best. It's just Billie Jean for a person who has mellow tastes in music. I love hearing everyway a good song can sound and this was just Coldplay's spin on it. what's important is that they who are totally different artists from mj, like and respect him that much to play his song. RIP Michael.

I like Chris Martin but he's not one of the world's best singers is he? Nothing can top MJ.

Farout1977 says – reply to this

97

LOVE IT! They put their own spin on it, which is cool. Too many losers trying to sound just like MJ when they pay tribute with a cover.
hardcandyshell says – reply to this

98

I don't think their point was to be better than MJ. They know it wasn't as good or even close. They were paying tribute to him and obviously encouraged the audience to sing too - and they were. I don't think they were trying to win a talent contest. Don't be so judgmental, people.
