Hey guys,

Here's my cover of the one and only King of Pop's seminal hit, 'Smooth Criminal'. This is possibly one of my favourite songs ever written, and sung by my favourite artist of all time, Michael Jackson. I can only hope to have done it some justice, since Michael's genus is untouchable, but I truly hope you enjoy it!

Thank you so much for your support - as always. It means the world to me, and fuels me to continue making videos. Please subscribe and share this video with your friends on Facebook / Twitter etc., if you enjoyed it!

Much love, and God bless,

Adam

Michael Jackson - SMOOTH CRIMINAL - Lyrics:

As he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom

Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK, Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK, Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK, Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK,?
Are you OK, Annie?

(Annie, are you OK?)
(will you tell us that you're OK)
(there's a sign in the window)
(that he struck you a crescendo Annie)
(he came into your apartment)
(he left the bloodstains on the carpet)
(then you ran into the bedroom)
(you were struck down)
(it was your doom)

Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by
A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats intimidations

Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?
Annie, are you OK?
So, Annie, are you OK?
Are you OK Annie?

(Annie, are you OK?)
(will you tell us that you're OK)
(there's a sign in the window)
(that he struck you a crescendo Annie)
(he came into your apartment)
(he left the bloodstains on the carpet)
(then you ran into the bedroom)
(you were struck down)
(it was your doom)

(Annie, are you OK?)
(so, Annie, are you OK?)
(are you OK Annie?)
(you've been hit by)
(you've been struck by
A smooth criminal)

OK, I want everybody to clear the area right now!

Aaow!
(Annie, are you OK?)
I don't know!
(will you tell us, that you're OK)
I don't know!
(there's a sign in the window)
I don't know!
(that he struck you a crescendo Annie)
I don't know!
(he came into your apartment)
I don't know!
(left bloodstains on the carpet)
I don't know why baby!
(then you ran into the bedroom)
I don't know!
(you were struck down)
(it was your doom, Annie!)

(Annie, are you OK?)
Dang gone it, baby!
(will you tell us, that you're OK)
Dang gone it, baby!
(there's a sign in the window)
Dang gone it, baby!
(that he struck you a crescendo Annie)
Hoo! hoo!
(he came into your apartment)
Dang gone it!
(left bloodstains on the carpet)
Hoo! hoo! hoo!
(then you ran into the bedroom)
Dang gone it!
(you were struck down)
(it was your doom, Annie!)
Aaow!

[jkd]

This video has inspired to learn the guitar; ordered today and I will be starting to learn tomorrow :D AMAZING

[jonrimert]

Honestly... How do you not have millions of subscribers just based off of this video?! This is my first time hearing your video, 10 years after upload.. I watched DOZENS of covers on YouTube, and none of them even came CLOSE to what you have created here. As if your extraordinary tone, phrasing, and overall ability to capture the essence of MJ's jam wasn't enough, your editing skills and humble demeanor just blew me away. I've got this on repeat now, and can't stop listening. I've been playing guitar on and off for over 15 years and feel like I hit a wall, so I lose motivation to play.. every once in a blue moon I come across a guitar player that lights my fire to play for hours on end.. I can't tell you how happy I am that I found this video 💜 for real, thank you for creating such a masterpiece and being such a humble person as well - truly gives me hope for humanity in this cruel world.

[anthonypny]

Still here after 11 years ! It’s still so incredible

[AdamLeeGuitarist]

What humbling words to read - I am so thankful, Shlomo! That is high praise, and really means the world to me. I'm just a little guy with a guitar, sat at home, putting up the odd video on YouTube, with a big dream. It's reading comments like this one, and those of all the incredible people that take the time to watch, that makes me feel as though it's not a dream worth giving up on. From one musician to another, I thank you sincerely. And yes, hope we meet in the future! Greetings from London!

[mikelarson]

8 years later an still the best cover I’ve experienced! Hats off to you!! 🤙🙏👌

[hsgnr]

Years ago, you inspired me to play the guitar with this video. I haven't watched it since, I don't know, 2015 maybe. Still gave me goosebumps. You rock bro!! I hope you're doing fine these days :)

[zacklokman]

Wow! This is the best cover of a song that I have seen on the internet in my entire life! Love the improvising of the voice of MJ using the guitar! I am a huge fan of MJ and would love if you put a lesson up on how you played this! Thanks for the vid! Keep up the good work!

[jossieftheguitarist]

I'm not joking when I say this is the best guitar cover I have ever seen!!!

[matturo]

I love this cover of this song it's the best I've heard so far and that guitar solo though just wow
