some of those suprised me

[Trauma-san]

What's REALLY rare is, How many Michael Jackson songs have been covered? Hardly NONE, because nobody can imitate his style very successfully.  I can only think of 2 off the top of my head. 

[white Boy]

^ alient ant farm

[davida.b.]

Yeah, only artists I can think of that covered Michael Jackson was Alian Ant Farm. Who was the second guy?

[Trauma-san]

It's kind of cheating, but Mariah Carey did a version of the Jackson 5's "I'll be There".  Other than that, there hasn't been any popular artists I'm aware of besides Alien Ant Farm that did one of his songs.  That's crazy.  He sings crazy, though, he has songs that have strange keys because his voice is so wild, and another thing; the music in his songs many times he created himself with drums and bells and whistles and dropping books on tables and shit, so it's kind of hard to recreate the music as well.
