&Just saw michael doing this song at bad tour..dancing all over the stage..sounding magnificent. No usher blame...his compositions are gigantic..and his unique singing..makes it impossible for others to cover them.
I think Usher did a fantastic job. He honored the King, but didn't imitate him. Everything from the smoke and green lasers, to MJ's former backing vocalists, to the orchestra and band were phenomenal. Job well done by all involved with the production of this performance.
Never! That Magic, that kind of Talent and Inspiration only comes once in a Lifetime! If there was no Michael Jackson there wouldn’t have been the music as we know it today! MJ was and will be the one and only King of Music, Videos and Live concerts! The epiphany of the word Entertainer! Give MJ the credit he is long due and let him RIP! Peace ✌🏽
I think this was a solid vocal effort and performance by Usher. He did him justice. Great tribute to the King of Pop!!!! People should also check out Jon B. cover to this song.....I think he also did MJ justice vocally.
All i can say is that: before you think you're the biggest MJ fan... you're wrong! This guy up here is. Usher has become one of the best male-artist all because MJ inspired him! He dances like MJ, concert setup like MJ etc. Now which fan has done this before, and have been successful? Now I know no one can come close to the KING, but if somebody is Usher sure is doin a damn good job!
+NoahUploads True people say CB but his vocals and dancing aren't to MJ or even Usher. He dances really well, but it seems to be more awe inspiring and creative rather than smooth
JdLima6684 Every SINGLE male RnB singer of the last 40 years is just doing his own version of Michael Jackson. Every single one of them. They're all just trying their best to be Michael Jackson. They're ALL Michael Jackson imoressionists. Think of any RnB singer nowadays, and you'll see what I mean: Bisbee, Usher, Ormarion, Bruno, The Weeknd, Marques Houston, Sammy, YOU NAME IT. Every singoe one of them, no matter their age, they're just kids imitating Michael. Michael's legacy was THAT powerful.
+juan def You obviously are a big fan of Michael. I did not say Usher sings like Michael, I was expressing how much I liked his interpretation of this song. Whether I have poor quality hearing, not ears, is really none of your business. You actually have a poor sense of respect for people's opinion. But my apologies if I offended your allegiance to Michael with my comment. By the way, if you are such a fan of Michael, you should know that you are not alone, I am here with you and better start by looking at the man in the mirror. Peace.
i watched this video, and then watched micheal's old live performance of this song. the difference was huge. i watched usher calmly on my chair, but i ended up groovin like a boss while watching micheal. so NO. Not AS good
When I watched his performance, it gave me chills. He does a great cover of this song and he's such a great entertainer. He did such an awesome performance.
Usher know he be jammin, wow he reminds me so much of MJ, both entertainers always puts on an amazing show for their audience, luv them both, go Usher, RIP MJ!!
Usher is no joke when it comes to covering other people's songs. I first heard him do Marvin Gaye's "Can I Get A Witness" when he played him on the sitcom "American Dreams" based on American Bandstand, and his versions of Luther Vandross' "Superstar", Stevie Wonder's "That Girl" and Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On"/"Mercy Mercy Me" as well as him out singing "Save The Children"/"Mercy Mercy Me" with Trombone Shorty for then-President Obama at the White House.
Michael used to bring a fresh innocence to his songs even if they were about "rocking all night". You truly believed he was singing about dancing. That's what made his appeal so universal.. He was never sleazy.
Hahahah until this comment i believed it was about dancing with her! That's how amazing, thoughtful, ckever, and subliminal writers were back then. I miss that
Usher is great.. and his doing great covers of other established artists songs is setting the stage for an even higher level of stardom.. Not a lot of younger artists can do great covers of others material. He's really paid his dues too, starting at a very young age.. He's come far and he's gonna go further..
I just checked out some covers by other artists. and michael's vocals is off the charts. you can the artists really stretching their vocals whereas michael made it seemed effortless
Yes ..like the 3:04 part .. Michael do it effortlessly in bad tours Michael is very special ..no one will ever be like michael forever but usher's performance is very great He's a true mj fan

Usher ... man, you're real good! You are the only one that can articulate that song as if you are Michael. More power to you. Per chance, you will come across this message, good job!
My first song I adore for me from King of pop.. rip King of pop Michael Jackson 😔🙏. Great perform from Usher without no excess just great simple tribute. Congratulations to him and his music band. 😉👍😎🕺
