Chris Cornell
So I'm listening to my XM and up pops "Chris Cornell Billie Jean". To my surprise, it was lyrically faithful to Jackson, but in Cornell's style. I've never heard it before, but it was cool.

I liked Soundgarden, but was never a fan per se. I like Audioslave more and I've realized I think Cornell's tortured, longing style is awesome.

Anyway, does anyone know when/why he covered "Billie Jean"?

I wouldn't think to cover an MJ song either... but I liked it.

...I'm just trying to imagine the guy who wrote 'Outshined' contemplating covering MJ.

Yeah, hence why I asked the original question.

I have no answers - I just LOVE Chris Cornell.. Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave and Solo.

Did I mention that I LOVE Chris Cornell?

Even if he were sweaty onstage in a tank top?

I agree... that rendition of that song was pretty cool.
