Here are the <strong>YouTube</strong> clips of all three versions... you be the judge! <strong><u><em>Who sung it best???</em></u></strong></p> <p><strong><u><em></em></u></strong>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700e398e9f2ff0004" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a7.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398e9f2ff0004-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">David Cook - Billie Jean</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p></p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700f48d0714b40001" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a4.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700f48d0714b40001-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">Chris Cornell - Billie Jean</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p>&#160;</p> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00d41449676f6a4700e398e9f3290004" at:format="auto" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-auto embed-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="width: 425px;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item embed-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-embed"> <iframe class="enclosure-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://a1.vox-data.com/6a00d41449676f6a4700e398e9f3290004-html" style="width: 425px; height: 355px;"></iframe> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name">Michael Jackson - Billie Jean</div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> <p></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://mcfreed.vox.com/library/post/david-cook-saved-my-ears-tonight-with-a-song.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d41449676f6a4700f48d07153f0001?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> american idol 80s music michael jackson chris cornell billie jean
