If it would have to be a MJ cover I'd choose....."Give Into Me" Man that would Funking Crazy!!

But if I had to pick a cover from another band/artist... I'd say.. "Parachutes" By coldplay, the whole album would have to be just man and piano, I think it would be awesomes!!

Ray of Light (Madonna)

That's The Way Love Goes (Janet)

Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) (Maxwell)

I think "A Long Walk" with Jill Scott would be a great duet.

I think he could probably mash up "Planet Earth" with "Earth Song" (MJ) and do it proud. Messages and moods are definitely the same.

Hope 2 hear this one day..that'd b

This would be pretty crazy. Wonder how he'd translate that

ernestsewell said:

all of the above.

It's really a rock song w/ an electronic beat. He should just stick to doing it straight forward as a rock song. The live drums and band would had a whole new dimension to it.

Tori Amos' "Crucify"
The Hooters "Where do the Children Go?"
Macy Gray "[S]he Ain't Right For You"
Riicky Fante "Why"

for starters . . . .

Us and Them - Pink Floyd
Fire, Water, Burn - Bloodhound gang
Invisble Touch - Genesis
Its so easy - Guns and Roses

Prince is quite good at covering white stuff

Who's in the Strawbwerry Patch with Sally.~Tony Orlando & Dawn.

Prince would be so good at doing some of Tony's songs. Who better to keep some of those songs going besides Tony himself...I adore these songs...Life is sweet in them.

Knock Three Times
Candida
Summer Sand
Gypsy Rose
Ukelele Man.

Heroes by Bowie
Roam by B-52's
Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status Quo
Elusive by Scott Matthews
Seer Believer by The White Birch
Merrymaking At My Place by Calvin Harris
U.R.A Fever by The Kills
Blue Skies by Noah and The Whale

All a bit random I know but.....

Oh no. You did not invoke the Tony! LlUuVvZz HhIiMm!!!! I love "Strawberry Patch", and most all the ones you listed. Man, "Candida" would be great! It's a song about a girl, and is super catchy, and has that Latin or Island flavor to it.

The stars won't come out if they know that you're about
Cause they couldn't match the glow of your eyes
And, oh, who am I ? Just an ordinary guy
Tryin hard to win me first prize

Oh my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

The future looks bright, the gypsy told me so last night
Said she saw our children playing in the sunshine
And there were you and I in a house, baby, no lie
And all these things were yours, and they were mine

Oh my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter
'Cause it said so in my dreams

Oh my Candida
We could make it together
The further from here girl the better
Where the air is fresh and clean
Oh my Candida
Just take my hand and I'll lead ya
I promise that life will be sweeter

Dirty Diana With his own riff

Winter In America by Gil Scott Heron

Well I'm so happy we meet eye 2 eye for a change...

pacey68 said:

gil scott heron is one of my favs
almost lost detroit would be a good one for prince to cover

Who's in the Strawberry Patch with Sally?
Now that she's not pickin' them with me?
Oh No I don't care, what their doin' there
Neath' the shade of the old apple tree...

Hey, I bet their laughin' and talikin' love talk...
Just like the way we used to do...
Oh who's in the Strawberry Patch with Sally
Whisperin' I Love U?

maybe a lil bit of maxwell (old or new)

Yes, something from Gil Scott Heron would be cool ( he sang something close in The war...) or some Curtis Mayfield (People get ready, Here but I'm gone...)

Nothing from Madonna, thank you !!

Lay Down Sally ~ Eric Clapton
I'd like to hear his interpretation of that classic.

andykeen said:

yep ! give into me would be awesome !

the road runner theme song seriously.

He should offically cover his own covers:

1) With this tear could be awesome with drenched keyboards & sound affect. It could be a very, very, very melodramtic song.

2) Love They Will be Done

3) Studio Version of Nothing Compares 2 You

4) Manic Monday 2010

Hendrix's "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)"

Led Zeppelin's "What Is and What Should Never Be"

rcereate Miles Davis's Bitches Brew using electric guitar instead of trumpet

tollyc said:

To be fair, 3 of 4 of those have been leaked. The Family's version IS the studio version. Same with Manic Monday for A6. There are two or three versions of "Love, Thy Will B Done", with his voice, as well as Sonny's.
