M.J. fans hate Coldplays "Billie Jean" version! - Page 4

bohemiandaisy · 05-10-2009, 05:36 AM

I'm a big MJ fan. Since I was 4, Ive been dancing to his songs on cassettes. My friends listened to Britney Spears. I adored the dance and music of MJ. When he died, I was stunned. I didn't cry. I just refused to believe it.

It was at the Carson show, when CP did Billie Jean that I finally cried. I found their cover beautiful. Chris' voice was emotional and beautiful as always and meshed well with the song. If it made ME cry(I barely cry), then it was a great cover.

When people cover CP, I always get pissed so I guess I understand MJ fans..but whatever. It 's a great cover

Yeah, they actually put effort on that cover.... unlike the Jonas Brothers cover of "Fix You"

Let's face it: Coldplay have never done a good cover song yet.

Don't say that !
No they didn't do the best covers, but I think that their version of 2000 miles is beautiful, and I love their Billie Jean cover as well

My father is no MJ fan but he also does not like the CP-version of Billie Jean because Chris' singing would be not good enough, however he does not like Coldplay

.

I don't think that their version of Billie Jean is too bad, ok some notes are really too high for Chris - that's the problem, he should sing it a few notes lower....
