Amazingly cool bunch of amateurs collected from Youtube covering various Michael Jackson tracks. I really like the Jazz trio covering "Smile", the drummer doing "Beat It", and a minimalist performance of "She's Out of My Life" on a ukelele. Very, very cool stuff.

Our tribute to Michael Jackson, ironically, consists of a list of the best covers we've found on youtube by average, acoustic artists who decided to cover Michael Jackson as a tribute to his death. In our opinion, most of these renditions are notable not for their synthesizer content, but for the fact that when you lay most of Michael Jacksons' songs bare, down to something as simple as a voice and a guitar, you are left with the original songwriting that really he should be remembered for – pure, simple and brilliant, even at a very young age. Synthesizers simply became a tool to help bring that talent to the forefront, with such well written songs. Without further ado – here's our list of best Michael Jackson Covers on Youtube today.
