Everybody and their pet llama is getting on Michael Jackson's death by doing covers of his songs – Kid Cudi, Alicia Keys, even that Akon character – but we thought that the most impressive and organic-sounding covers were by the genius that is Erykah Badu with the (almost equally) amazing The Roots.
?uestlove posted their sweet and faithful version of 'I Wanna Be Where You Are' as well as a kind of jazzy-bossa-nova-esque cover of 'Billie Jean'. The former being a much bigger success than the latter. Shamon!
