I am so ready to hear it! If I miss it, I'm sure it will all over youtube tomorrow.

 

[StitchfansJr]

I don't know why a lot of the teeny bopper artists are covering Michael Jackson but whatever.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Justin Bieber was the first person to sing during it Dx

I was really glad that they kept Michael Jackson's part in the remake, considering he WROTE it.

[McQuack]

It made me sad to see where we've arrived in the pop music landscape after 25 years... Stevie Wonder to Kid Cudi.

 

[SBubba18]

I have had this song stcuk in my head all day. I like the older version better though.

I really loved that they made a re-make of the song, it turned out really good.

In the beginning, I was a little hesitant about the remake (I still am about certain teen stars) but it did turn out good.

 

[MuskratSusie]

^I feel the same way, I kinda wish they left out a few of the teen stars, too. It's still good, though.
