Cornell--we'll never get anyone else like him. When I saw him with Soundgarden in Trenton back in '90 or '91, the entire crowd was mesmerized by his every move. At one point he jumped up, took hold of a ceiling girder, and climbed out over the crowd like some Rock aerialist. And he could sing! RIP.

Its simply genius! Let's take that genius a step further...you need to react to Chris singing the lyrics of Metallica's song "One" to the music of U2's song "One". I suggest you listen to both those originals first, which are incidentally, great songs as well, and then you can appreciate Chris' brilliance in combining the two songs but lets not kid ourselves, Chris could sing a book of recipes and we would all be spellbound so the real brilliance is simply that voice and the way he uses it.

I love MJ's version of this song, and growing up in the 80's I would probably call the original my #1 80's song as far as reminding me of my childhood. But I didn't even know what this song was about until much later in life, because the pop and fun upbeat sound of the song just doesn't match with how dark and sinister the song really is. That being said, I really think Chris Cornell's arrangement of it is a much better representation of the song's message and story. That's not to take anything away from the legend of MJ. The video of him dancing and walking down that sidewalk as the blocks light up is still just about the coolest thing ever. There is an audio only version of Chris doing this sound in a small lounge type venue in (I believe?) Sweden. And it's got this same pace and feel, but it's much more intense and emotional. This is more refined and arranged. But you should definitely check out the other one, if just for your own experience. It's intense AF. I'll link it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJaliqlemJ2ocYE.html

Finding amazing covers is a great passion of mine. It always makes my day that much brighter when I come across a cover like one of Chris Cornell's. He always takes the songs, and makes them his, beautifully so, while making sure you know can still hear the original in there. That's the sign of a great cover. Another amazing cover of a Michael Jackson song you should check out is "Dirty Diana" by Shaman's Harvest. With their sound, the song hits just right.

The shame of the original is that the dancing and the imagery is so infectious that the lyrics lose its impact. Chris Cornell strips all of that away and exposes the bare lyrics for everyone to hear and feel.

When people, most anyway heard the original of this song I think it’s safe to say they automatically assumed the original singer wasn’t the father if the pregnancy involved sexual relations other than artificial insemination. Point being it was hard to find the emotions of the song being true. And I loved loved loved MJ but this was one of those songs where you know the song writer didn’t know the baby wasn’t his. The act of sex was for pregnancy with him, there was no busted contraception or a pull out game error. 😉
