Yesterday at the rehearsals we discussed about covering Billie Jean. OK, not an easy task, if you want to do it right…
So we started to “shop around” to see a few versions, YouTube makes it quite easy and gives you a lot of ideas, Billie Jean is a popular song, so you pretty much have where to pick at least a few goods ideas.
I have found a version of this song by Cris Cornell (ex Soundgarden), cool live version, a few others that I enjoyed, but I think that I have found what could be like the coolest cover so far of this song, David Cook’s version, the guy on TV with that show, I guess you know him.
I must admit I wasn’t expecting much but I was really impressed.
So, without any more words, I give you the best possible cover of Billie Jean.
Enjoy and comment!
