MJ actually gave his blessing for this one. And throughout the video you’ll see Easter egg after Easter egg of MJ videos

@andrewcurtis8739 9 ай бұрын

Yep, probably one of the best covers, ever

@AlbertRod34 10 ай бұрын

MJ said they could do the cover. And when it came out he liked it.

A lot of people mentioning that MJ gave his blessing for them to cover this song, but what's even more than that is that AAF sent him the finished Video before releasing it to make sure he was okay with everything in that too. He said he loved it but wasn't sure about the kid wearing the mask while dancing, so they reshot that kids entire part, extras and all, and sent him the edited version and he said after some though he actually preferred the mask version lol. So not only did he give the okay for them to cover the song, but at their request he also gave his blessing for the video itself :)

I really enjoy covers! There's an old 80's song that was really popular Gary Newman Cars and Fear Factory covered it well and gotta mention Astronomy and Turn the Page by Metallica! I'm stuck in the hospital again and I'm going to go through some of your older stuff that I haven't seen yet , I wonder if leaving likes on older videos help? But thank you for keeping me busy while I'm stuck in here and please give a shout out to cancer awareness, and I really wish I could get you to do WASP The Big Welcome inside the electric circus, the big welcome is the lead into the song inside the electric circus I know it's not popular but there surprisingly good I'm not sure how it works but one of these days I'm going to pay you to react to this one

If you closely throughout the video there are easter eggs paying homage to MJ. I have counted 23 easter eggs how many can you find? Also, Alien Ant Farm were huge fans of Mj and contacted him and asked if they could do a cover and then later came back and asked if they could do a video. They asked how personal they could get and MJ just said let them do whatever. Now, when Mj first saw the video he liked everything except the kid wearing the mask. He thought it made fun of his illness and asked for it to be taken out. So there is actually a video floating around without the kid in it but then MJ saw it again and told them to go ahead and keep him in.

Absolutely one of the top covers. However, I have to say that Disturbed covering Sound of Silence and Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt are slightly better in my opinion. And I generally do not like covers. But those 3 are the exception to my rule.
