OMG SHITTTTTTTTTTTEOUS.. CANT BELIEVE U WOULD INSULT THE KING LIKE THAT MARIO… BUT THEN AGAIN U DID ACCUSE HIM OF FAKING HIS OWN DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A$$HOLE
THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER. BUT I DONT THINK THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO MAKE THERE VERSION BETTER ..I THINK THEY WERE JUST PLAYING THAT SONG FOR MICHAEL…WHICH WAS SOO LOVELY.R.I.P THE KING OF MUSIC!
they had to of known that they sucked singing this song, so why did they? There's much better ways to pay tribute to MJ than butchering his song. Use your head coldplay my gosh!
Re: imceecee – Amen… I hear Hanson is considering pulling out their cover of the Jackson 5's 'The Love You Save' They did it on one of there first independant albums, before being signed to Mercury
People have some respect! Coldplay and MJJ are totally different genres, of course its going to sound different! Nothing will ever top the original and only Michael Jackson!
its very nice and i respect them for covering the great michael's classic, but it wasnt very good…..john mayer's guitar for 'Human Nature' was amazing! idk why coldplay's guitar was very weak….and almost unrecognizable as 'Billie Jean'.
Ugh, I tried listening to it almost all the way through because I didn't want to hate on Gwenie's hubby and all without giving it a fair chance, but man it was WORSE!! than I expected. They sound like me and my girlfriends doing drunken Karaoke when we Sang "Bad" literally and I grabbed my friend's Cooch at the end just so we would have something redeemable about our Performance! I felt really bad about butchering our tribute to The King and I bet Coldplay did too. Now I want to look up Chris Cornell's version I never heard it before.
My dear Lord. I like that Coldplay are giving a shout out to MJ but you think they would learn the words properly. Damn I hate it when people get the words wrong.
The original is WAAAAAY better. I'm not saying tht I thnk MJ is da only 1 tht can sing this really good but I wish it was w/ some1 tht has a really good voice, like…..Ne-Yo or somethn. Nd most of all they must up the lyrics instead of sayn "who could stand when she's in demand w/ her schemes nd plans" startn on 1:34. coldplay said sumthn. I cnt say cuz i dnt kno wht the hell their sayn, he knida mumbles @ tht point. Nd srry if u thnk ima bitch bout sayn this but they need 2 stick 2 their own songs. except when mariah carey covered i'll be there @ MJ's memorial. Nd they only sang this cuz MJ waz supose 2 perform their. Also if any of u ppl tht say they miss MJ when thy made fun of him of how he's a peodifile (which he's not). ur only doin tht cuz he's gone. So dnt call urself a TRUE fan. Cuz I ACTUALLY listened 2 his music nd appriciated him as a person in general.
I was at the Gorge on saturday and was literally 5 ft away from Coldplay as they sang this and it was way better in person then this video shows and everyone was singing along. It was a phenomenal cover and the concert was honestly the best I have every been to. Even if you don't like Coldplay it is a fantastic concert and the Gorge is so beautiful. Viva!
Oh my gosh@!!! My best friend was at that concert! The entire concert he kept saying how the Pacific Northwest is the most beautiful place he had ever been in his life!! SEATTLE REPRESENT!
oh, all you "hardcore" michael jackson fans just need to stfu and get off your high horse. obviously, the cover isn't going to sound exactly like the song, as covers aren't meant to. the point is, it's a tribute to michael jackson. whether the cover was to your standards or not is beside the point. it's meant to be respectful, they're celebrating his music. they weren't half assing this performance at all. you want the real thing, then bust out your mj cds/mp3s, whatever it is you have. and no, you thinking this is a horrible tribute doesn't mean the cover is an insult/disrespectful/disgrace. grow up, please.
eeehhhh nice tribute the ideas in the right but ummmm no
