“Billie Jean.” Topping the king of pop, Michael Jackson, is a very tough feat — but Cornell might have done it with his cover of “Billie Jean.” You can hear the terrifying heartbreak in Cornell’s live version that was missing in the original pop tune. By slowing the rhythm and giving more backing to each lyric, Cornell created something great here. Once you hear it in this performance for MSN, you may never want to hear Jackson sing it again.
