jackson cover

I know nobody should ever cover a beatles track,but i have to say Michaels version of come together in Moonwalker was a fantastic cover.Just a thought!!I bet mccartney wishes he never talked to micheal about song rights,talk about a stab in the back.That buissness move has maybe kept michael living his lavish lifestlye all this time.

MJs track was a weak version of an attempt at an exact copy. Don't insult Lennon and McCartney with his dribble version.

I have every MJ album, most 12" versions, box set and singles.

It doesn't detract from a weak cover version clearly aimed to boost profit righht after he bought the Beatle rights.

DAMN! I knew I should have ripped out a bit of his hair when I had the chance! Then you would have accepted me! Repeat after me...."we are here to change the world! My Brother!"

Yes the one on the left isn't an actual person, but a computerized representation of what Michael wanted to look like post-surgery. Unfortunately we ended up with the mess on the right.

I don't loathe him. I am in fact a fan (own all the albums except Invincible barf plus most singles). I just have loads of fun on these threads. lol

Don't you? wink

But arriving back at the original post in this thread, I'm with Dewrede - never much liked that Beatles song, and the MJ version doesn't really do it for me, either. Overall - "meh".

TRUE OR FALSE?

Much to your own disgust you play the Moonwalker video quietly in your room as you settle in for some umm... late night viewing pleasure. And when MJ does his 'lean' move in the Smooth Criminal sequence you swiftly reach for the kleenex. lol

Don't you?

You betya!

Who you callin' "child"?

You, kiddo.

Come Together isn't my favorite Beatles tune, but the original is better. MJ's version is good enough, but he minces the lyrics in a few parts and it takes me outta the song. He waited far too long to put it on an album. I'd grown tired of it by the time it found its way onto History.

The Soundgarden (Chris Cornell) cover is the best. Michael should have covered another song. I guess he was going for a popular one.

yeah it was annoying to see it on there. I already owned it as of the "remember the time" b side. Plus it was longer then the "HIStory" version. Just like the "moonwalker" version.

Obviously an outtake from "bad".
