The Weeknd - D.D.

[goniae]

this guy is gonna be the king of R&B

Any time an artist tries to remake a great MJ song, they know very well they have BIG shoes to fill. Abel met every single expectation and killed it.

[hahaownedlolz]

As a huge MJ fan.. this cover is f*cking amazing. If there's such a thing as the next MJ, then this dude is it. Insanely talented and an amazing voice.

[hayo]

He is seriously the only person on EARTH, that can do a cover on a MJ song in his own style and get away with it. He actually nailed it.
People don't realize how special that is....

I know how yall saying he's a MJ wannabe but he's not . This is how he actually sings go check all his songs . He just happened to made a dope ass cover . Why hate this is the best cover I've heard of any song . He made this cover for his album why all the hate ? 

[rorygilmore]

fun fact; MJ once took ‘Dirty Diana’ out of his set list in England for respect for Princess Diana, but Diana insisted he sing it because it was one of her personal faves?

Michael Jackson: The King of Pop.

The Weeknd: The King of R&B.

I like how every chorus is sang differently and he put his own style on each one: listen to 1:03 then 2:10 and then 3:30
each time doing it unique with that dark-ish vibe. amazing cover.

[pabloromo]

As a MJ fan and a Weeknd fan, I would definitely agree this is the best cover in the music industry!

[SobrietyandSolace]

I love how he satisfies our curiosity by letting us hear his soundalike voice but he still injects his own style and take on it. Covers always annoy people by being too similar or too different, but he manages to please both crowds.

[SimpExterminator]

I just get chills every single time I listen to this track

[benfoulds]

I think MJ possessed him in this track. Fucking awesome.

[wedgins]

god damn, this is abel at his best.
The vocals are the best he ever put out, the production, the ability to make it look like it's his song, "weekndized" a MJ song, he really went FULL POWER ON THIS MASTERPIECE in honor of MJ

[AirKevin]

People fail to realize the purpose of a cover. A cover is a different take on a song, a different perspective, a rendition. Making a cover sound exactly like the original defeats the whole purpose of it being a cover.

[theguerraandvallejofamily]

He was not trying to compare himself with MJ. All he did was do a cover and he nailed it his way. Yall need to stop hating... XO baby!!!

[Mrill]

imagine if him & Michael could freaking collab omg rip

[Bino-_Hendrixx]

Here’s a story; this is how I discovered The Weeknd back when I was around 12, 13 years old. Growing up I was always a fan of Michael Jackson, I looked up Dirty Diana on Youtube and Michael’s version popped up, then I see The Weeknd right under it, but it wasn’t called Dirty Diana, it was called D.D, I was curious so I clicked it and listened to it, let’s just say I’m a huge Weeknd fan now, The King would be so proud of you, keep making music, keep doing what you’re doing, Michael’s blessing you from above. XO for life 🙏🏼

[randomyoutubenerd]

if Michael was still around, i guarantee you he would've ADORED this cover

[TheTampaClown]

Best Cover to Any Song By Anyone Ever.

He did MJ justice, and he put his own style to it, there's never going to be another MJ but The Weeknd is a great examply of his legacy to music.
