not as fantastic as Michael's version but he did his thing. I applaud him for trying to put his own twist on such a classic song. Once you pick it, you gotta make your utmost effort not to strictly follow the original or previous version. You gotta do anything to make it your own song somehow. Otherwise, you'll be called "a good imitator" at best. It ain't an easy thing to do. So, he deserves praise for that as well as the performance itself.
