Michael Jackson Tributes: James Morrison, Kid Cudi & Cookin Soul stream remixes music mp3
It’s impossible to keep up with the countless tributes made to honor the late King of Pop, but here are a two that really caught my ear. I first spotted James Morrison’s cover of MJ’s classic (and one of my favorite songs altogether) “Man In The Mirror” on Perez Hilton, natch. James Morrison’s voice is a blessing, but not even his sweet vocals do “Man In The Mirror” justice. Honestly, this is the kind of song that just can’t be done any other way but Michael Jackson’s way.

Listen to James Morrison’s rendition of “Man In The Mirror” here.

if you made even a very low estimate of the number of people that have had MJ on their mind this weekend, say 3,000,000 people, and you then estimated that they each spent an average of two minutes thinking/writing about his death, and you put all that time together, what could you do with that time? 6 man-years is what it would amount to, and the truth is that’s probably a huge underestimation.

What great thing could 3 million people accomplish, individually, given two minutes each?

Besides, if someone who made an impact in your life died, be it a close friend, a celebrity, a hero or a political figure, you wouldn’t spend two minutes of your time thinking or grieving?

Listen to the Z-Trip remix they did of I Want You Back a few years ago, it’s sooooooooo awesome. As far as the Cookin’ Soul, I like Lil Wayne on I Want You Back the best.

I think James Morrison does a really great job with the cover, adapting to his own style. Of course nobody can do this song like Michael did because it’s his. And it applies to other artists as well. Each artist has his style and his songs. That doesn’t mean that you have to nail to the wall all the artists singing his songs, they’re just paying their respects! They’re not trying to ruin anything! Go easy on them!
