The follow songs are all 'classics' we suppose, but there has never been a rule to say that classics cannot be annoying and shit. 'Twist And Shout' for instance: a classic, but if ever there was a 'fuck this, lets get our coats and go home' song for a DJ to play, it's would be this. So, to improve moments of tedium and pop dirge ('Smells Like Teen Spirit', 'Ace Of Spades' etc), a man called Doug Naugler (not pictured) has taken a collection of rock classics and turned them into ridiculous and VERY [...]

The Civil Wars - Billie Jean (Live at LUNA) Check out this clip of The Civil Wars playing their only in-store performance of the mostly sold-out tour at LUNA Music in Broad Ripple, Indiana. They take simplicity to a whole 'nother level, using just one guitar and their beautiful voices to gain national attention with perfect harmonizations and modest style. Seriously, don't sleep on The Civil Wars. They give me hope for this ever crumbling music industry, and have found themselves on notable magazines for having one of the top albums of 2011 - [...]
Earlier this week, soul punker Patrick Stump performed in Austin, Texas at Mix 94.7 for an acoustic show, and busted out a cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". We've heard him briefly tackle the MJ song before as part of his viral Michael Jackson medley , and now there's even more of a good thing. Stump certainly has the falsetto to pull off the King of Pop's classic song, and his minimalist, acoustic interpretation of the tune gives it a whole new sound. Watch below. What else [...]

"Woah" was the first word out of my mouth after hearing this unbelievable string-quintet reinvention of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." Originally featured on MADE, the cover pulls together the creative efforts of singer & songwriter Aloe Blacc, violinist & composer Mihalj "Miki" Kekenj, and painter Jaybo to bring together this audible and visual masterpiece.
Aloe Blacc live string cover of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean // [video]
Even if you aren't a Michael Jackson fan, it's hard to resist singing along to Billie Jean, isn't it? Especially the chorus. That is definitely some catchy stuff. So many musicians have covered the song, from Chris Cornell to Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump, and I recently found a cover by the extremely talented Aloe [...]

There's not many people who could pull off doing new renditions of Michael Jackson classics. But Aloe Blacc is definitely is talented enough to actually pull it off and still adding his very on style into the mix. He recently did a special live performance of the track "Billie Jean" for MADE . Not only does he perform; he has a live strings section to back him up. You can't get any more intimate of a setting than the one presented for this performance. Now, this video has definitely made the rounds but hopefully this [...]
Aloe Blacc enlists a string quartet to help him cover Michael Jackson's beloved classic.
Aloe Blacc, the Stones Throw crooner, was recently apart of a recorded performance called "Moments with Aloe Blacc, Miki and Jaybo" where he sang with the backing of Miki String Quartet and the Artistic work of Jaybo. Recorded at Made Space, the performance is split up into six separate videos featuring Aloe Blacc taking on songs such as "Billie Jean" as well as his hit songs "I Need a Dollar" and "Loving You is Killing Me". Every video is outstanding, Aloe has such an effortless voice and the backing of Miki String Quartet only makes the performance even more enjoyable. [...]
Absolutely breathtaking. It is hard to pull off a creative rendition of a classic but Aloe Blacc, the man responsible for asking the world for a dollar, shows off his range as a gifted vocalist covering Michael Jackson famous 'Billie Jean'. From the instrumentation playing in the background, to the the dramatic lighting, to his suave pose of singing while having his drink on his lap, this video is just amazing from all angles.

"Billie Jean" is one of MJ's signature songs. There is no doubting that. But the iconic 1983 track may have found a new guardian on earth now that the King of Pop has passed. Aloe's cover here of "Billie Jean" with a live string accompaniment is nothing short of stunning. Props to MADE for putting this performance together.

I am completely impressed with Aloe Blacc. The latest thing he's taken on, covering one of Michael Jackson's biggest hits in "Billie Jean". He doesn't do a straight cover, but instead adds his own twist to things and just makes it sound simply beautiful. And he does it with, what, is that a SCOTCH in [...]
This is probably one of the greatest renditions to Michael Jackson "Billie Jean," with a beautiful string section. This just made our night. Love it! Filed under: Beats , Clip , Yankee Panky Tagged: album , albumn , aloe , blacc , download , jackson , michael , new
Guess what people, Aloe Blacc has talent, and it is evident beyond his leading hit train, "I Need A Dollar". As part of his live performance with MADE , which we have seen bits and pieces of over the past few months, we now get the visuals for Aloe's cover of the Michael Jackson classic, "Billie Jean". I don't really know where to begin with this, it is just so, well, perfect. With the crew of string strummers behind Blacc, the final product is absolutely epic. Hit the skip to peep the live performance.

Where would Indian indie be without covers? Back playing 'Mustang Sally' every August? Oh, wait. Indiecision scours the interweb to find you great (and sucky) covers performed by Indian indie artists during live performances, studio sessions and whenever the urge to bust out 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' hits them. Presenting, Cover Story. Song: Billie Jean Original Artist: Michael Jackson Cover Artist: Sonu Nigam We've often had mainstream musicians paying tribute to popular international artists (remember Bappi Da ?) and this one is no exception. We [...]
Er wordt veel te makkelijk gedacht over covers door artiesten. Vaak klinkt het nummer precies hetzelfde als de al reeds bekende versie. Ik snap daardoor vaak de toegevoegde waarde niet meer, behalve dat het misschien geld oplevert? Voor mij geldt dan ook dat iemand een liedje echt eigen moet maken, bijna een andere 'feel'. In dit licht heb ik besloten twee-wekelijks een goede cover uit te lichten! En in deze eerste aflevering gaat het over 'Billie Jean' van Michael Jackson. Dit is een iconisch popnummer met dito danspasjes. De stem van Michael glijdt over de uptempo beat heen [...]
