I was so amazed at the creativity of David Cook last night on american idol with his version of Billie Jean (michael jackson).
I was amazed, that is, until i found out it’s not his version. A guy named Chris Cornell has been doing it for a while now. I’m still a fan of David’s and think he’s a great talent…but you’ve got to give credit where it’s due my friend.
Chris’s version, while it may not have the production backing that Idol has…it’s the creative original. And that says a lot.
Watch Chris’s version here…

I thought he did a great job as well, but I’m not so sure we have anyone on idol who is going to work arrangements on their own. I always wonder how much room they have to make a song their own. If they can do anything, why aren’t they? It would all be so much better.
chris’ cover was amazing. i didn’t watch david’s version. i don’t believe in someone doing a cover of a cover. that is just ridiculous.
