What a terrible cover. Well, at least they played the solo right.

not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but still not as good as the original. not even close. and the video for the original one was way f*cking better. pete wentz couldn't dance like that if his makeup depended on it.

Well the song is a mess, it comes in with a metal-esque guitar, trying to make it a hardcore type cover, but then Patrick starts to sing like Mick Jagger. Just a mess and nothing good. They have no business covering Michael Jackson and I don't know why they bothered.

Is this a f*cking joke? If it is i'm laughing...but I doubt that was their intention.

Raintime's cover wasn't any better, it was equally lame.

^^ oh, my that is great! that has so much to do with what everyone is talking about!

anyway...of course everyone will write off Fall Out Boy...if they came out with a revolutionary song idea or sound, everyone would hate them because it's the "cool" thing to do.....if someone else were to do a cover of the song many people would be like "yeah! this is better than the original!"
oh, but no! it's FALL OUT BOY!!! oh, yeah...don't i hate them? yes...yes, i think I do! whatever...joys of pop culture, eh?

fall out boy isnt just hated because the music is liked by mtv audiences its just cause the music isnt good and the singers voice is flat out annoying. Jacksons was 10x better.

on a side note how is the bassist wentz so known and popular? i never got that, its not like he sings....

I herd Michael Jackson's version of this was pretty good. Why don't we just stick to that if FOB's version licks so much dicks.

That's because John Mayer took that.
But really, I don't think this is that bad at all. Not great, but not awful.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Turk. I was afraid I was being stupid.

Raintimes cover was even worse. The solo killed it for me in Fob's cover.
