This was a tribute. These guys loved Michael, and it was mutual. He gave permission.

It is good. It is REALLY good, but that title is held by Johnny Cash's Hurt, followed closely by Distrurbed's The Sound of Silence

Musicians are legally required and almost every time get permission to cover another artist’s song. It happens all the time. You should check out Dolly Parton “I will always love you”. I love the shocked look on peoples faces when they realize that Whitney Houston didn’t write that song.

The same with Celine Dion hits..a good number are covers from other artists.

Michael Jackson heard their demo of this and he said hell yes this is golden, do whatever you want with it!

Pretty cool tributes in there .... seen it about four times now and just noticed the bassist is doing the falsetto backing ...nice.

Love your hair like that Empress, absolutely gorgeous, oh yeah great reaction too

Michael LOVED it!

The pictianition of "BEAUTIFUL ". Love your reactions to these songs! You never disappoint as your beautiful smile takes it over the top every single time.

Hey Empress my dear. I love this cover by them . I hope you enjoy them too.

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

Love this song when it first came out. The rest of the album was a grower.

Wow!!!! What a lot of fun!!! Love your reactions Empress👍🏻👍🏻❤️! Thank you

This is actually Alien Ant Farms paying homage to Michael Jackso😁👍🏻👍🏻! Bubbles the chimp, the white glove , and other things!!!!! I loved this energy!!!!

That is the Jackson house the kid is dancing in front of with the mask. The end is an image of Elizabeth Taylor in tattoo on the back of the bass player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

my 10 month old baby and I watch this video all the time! I have a playlist of songs he likes. I like Michael's original of this song, but this 1 is really good. it has many tributes in it to Michael--the drummer wearing 1 glove, the sidewalk lighting up, the baby chimp=Michael's chimp, Bubbles, his trademark scream, the guy at the end having a tat of Elizabeth Taylor, 1 of Michael's closest friends, and probably many more that I failed to catch

Amazing girl, my Dreams

Love this song, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Btw you have a pretty smile🙂

Esto si que es bueno, reaccionar sin enterarse de nada!!!! 😂😂

Nino Rota - What is a youth. why nobody don't watch it? magical music

Just like rappers.

Love this Empress. I truly believe Michael gave this a thumbs up.Still loving your smile of approval

Of course he did he liked their version and approved it and gave them pointers on the video, there's a video of the singer talking about Michael's reaction

Wow, Empress Hun! Thanks for uploading this video. Kinda hard to focus on it though, if you know what I mean... realdeal

alien ant farm had to pay a bunch of money to cover michaels original and mike had to give it an ok to be put on MTV. I remember when it took them a year with lawyers. if you notice in the video also the boxing ring was mike tyson

Their song "Movies" is pretty badass. Would you mind having a listen to Blues Traveler "Carolina Blues" or "The Mountain Wins Again"? Even if you don't review them, still amazing pieces of music. Very soulful.

This was cool! Glad you enjoyed it!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I feel this is a cover done as a cover should try and be done. Own it in your own way. Thanks for the smiles Empress. Peace/JT

The entire video references Michael Jackson’s style, events that happened in his life, dance moves, he went to the Grammys with his pet monkey bubbles. Asian people often passed out in crowds when he performed in Japan, . A total tribute to mj.

Hi, I loved this song as well. And you look great today. Stay safe from Covid-19 to you and your loved ones.

❤️❤️❤️

I love this! So good!! Thanks.

Did you happen to notice all of the references to other Michael Jackson videos? There were several little nuggets throughout the video.

For those who don't know this song and video were made before Michael died and he loved their version and gave them pointers for the video

It's actually rumored that MJ called Alien Ant Farm and said he was absolutely floored by there cover and even went as far to say it's better than his original

Pretty good cover song this one, I'm sure they must have had Michael's permission for this, I was a bit confused when I first heard this on the radio Lol

There was a song? I can't take my eyes off of Empress.

This is Alien Ant Fars version of Smooth Criminal Michael Jackson had a Pet Chimpanzee Tribute to Michael Jackson

This has to be one of the most embraced-by-the-original-artist cover versions of all time, as I understand it. I know I read somewhere that AAF were included in MJ's memorial...........how much huger could you BE?

No doubt MJ is the Master of this song. But AAF knocked it out of the park with their Rendition of it!

I liked most of the song, but there were parts that fell flat ! Just tried to hard to impress i think , so i give it just an OK . I still enjoy seeing new groups and songs and realize not all Can be a hit with all of us . I thank the kind lady for your time and reaction ! Gods Blessings be with you !

Unfortunately this is a “1 hit band”but a very good song. Empress you once again take my breath away with you beauty 🔥
