You won't believe your eyes or your ears, your jaw will drop...James Hill's brilliant cover of Billie Jean is amazing - as he plays the percussion, the chords and the melody, making his ukulele sound like 3 different instruments, all played at once!
You'll gasp in astonishment, you'll love every second of it :D

Why isn't this amazing? He's playing the bass line, the riff, lead, and the drumbeat at the same time!

Those who dislike this apparently have "ZERO" knowledge playing an musical instrument. This is quite a display of how good this really is.

nah feng e's cover is better. This percussion is not that hard
I am so impressed. This guy makes it look so easy. I can not believe that he can add lib while playing all that. He's got that song memorized to his sub conscious.
Why no one is giving him an award for this , he does that so effortlessly , what would take 100 yrs otherwise
To everyone saying it's not that great... Do you realize he's playing the bass line, guitar riff, and drum beat at the same time? That's phenomenal!

Pure talent! Just because the recording doesn't do this justice, doesn't mean it's not good! This guy is a true musician
"oh yeah, I forgot! This is a sing-a-long." This guy kills me. Great stuff
Been playing guitar 30 years and wish I had his imagination , this guy is awesome
I can barely eat soup without making a mess. Amazing musician.
one of the best. guess I can't stop watching this :D
He was amazing, really nice guy too - he spent an hour teaching us Ukulele Jazz before the concert, and made it really easy to understand. If you have a Uke and get a chance to go to a James Hill Workshop, go.

Very clever! You are quite a talented man - I can only imagine how long it took you to create that. Much respect, sir!!
WOW just brilliant 💫
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, and continue to do so! Thanks for making it Rob! :) He gets a great sound out of that ukulele doesn't he? :)
And yes He is that good. Thanks for the video
It would be lovely for us to see you and others with your talent go around schools and show skills that you have earned that you have achieved I believe music is great for the mind and spirit the way you played that uklayle you owned it xxx 💜

Loved it! Humor and music,the perfect storm. 🎵
so cool great job biggest michael jackson fan ever......... i usually cringe at any cover/attempt to emulate- but good job dude spot on..... congrats keep doing your thing
his ukulele playing sure is godlike
great job!!😎😎loved it.. props to the both of them.. he just played like four different parts at the same time! And she backed him up perfectly on cello and vocal!! rock on hipster!!😎😎😎😎😎😎
Just amazingly talented!!!!
Apparently 1500 people have no idea how hard this is....this is not the best cover ever, but it is probably one of the best adaptations of a song and great display of overall talent...I am guessing more than 1400 of them can't even play the chord progression in time.

This was absolutely incredible AND FUN.!! Kinda bummed the very end cut off BUT WOW WAS THAT AWESOME.
This is the first time i ever thought of a ukelele as cool.
What!!!???!! Mad skills!!
TOTALLY lives up to the title! Not only musically incredible - but funny, charming, and plain fun to watch! Awesome!
It's brilliant. A Uke doing justice to Billy Jean. Fantastic. Mr. James Hill, please keep this up.
Swoon rocks Billie Jean 🕺

@ThadofOhio

I think the microphone recording this is too close to the speakers, and, yes, the recording audio "gain" is up too high. Better audio could be recorded by tapping into his mic, his Uke pickup, but that would require more wires, a mixer, and cooperation with the people that own the PA equipment.

that was so damn good...i dont know about the thumbs down folks...but clearly they are not as talented as this guy...I mean I could care less for the singing...but the way he arranged that on the ukelele is fantastic...cheers from Canada :)
That is some fine tunes comin out of the uke - best instrumental ever. But the Civil Wars own it on the vocals. And of course, neither could achieve any of that were it not for the phenomenal composer. Much love to them all.
You've made my day, man!
Amazing
was just writing out my troubles in an email to a friend, but after watching this I can't remember what they were.
Made me smile for a long long time
totally awesome!! blew me away!
Wow! Amazing sound from the humble little uke! Jaw dropped!
Please do that with better audio equipment! Thank You
hard to tell what it really sounded like with all that distortion
why the heck did 4 thousand people dislike this, don't they know how cool this is? And HIS FINGERS MUST BE NUMB
