Smooth Criminal
Thanks for this proposal, Tom. I have to admit, when I first read the name of the song, I didn't know which song it is. But then I started listening to it and I recognized it of course. But that the version by Alien Ant Farm is only a cover version and that Michael Jackson wrote the original, I haven't known so far. But you live and learn.
However, I like this song. But I'm not a big fan of Michael Jackson. So my vote goes to Alien Ant Farm.

Comments about Smooth Criminal:
This whole website is retarded. You guys are fighting over which song is better? Why must there be conflict in music. All the people below me trying to derive negative comments towards any of these songs are just fools. A cover is just supposed to be an artist's take on a song, not to make an exact duplicate of it. If that's what people want then why don't they just listen to the song twice?
Here's a thought, maybe the people that don't like the AAF version are jealous that it got more attention than the original song. If that is the truth, then that says something about the original song. Theres something to think about

"I honestly prefer AAFs because of the singing not because of the electric guitar"
What a damn joke lol. It'd be better if you liked it better just because it was rock, because at least then you'd be liking it for something MJ didn't do. Better singing from AAF. Lmfao. That's a riot. Bunch of mediocrity lovers, all of you who voted for AAF. I bet some of you even like AAF's "we're playing at a party and everyone is having fun" Smooth Criminal music video better than Michael Jackson's. Maybe AAF represents a level of talent that you can actually comprehend.

Wow, we sure do have a lot of fucking morons voting in this poll. AAF seems to be winning. Probably biased pricks who've fallen under the belief of MJ's bad image, or rockers who masturbate to the sight of an electric guitar. Bottom line: anyone who has seen the full 10 minute Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal video and doesn't think that MJ fuckin' owns it is a stupid piece of shit.
And no, AAF doesn't "take the cake" just because they won a poll. If we're basing this on a popularity contest, more people bought into MJ's Smooth Criminal back when it was released, which is what counts.

Even if Michael Jackson has done anything wrong you should be voting on the song and not how you feel about him. Personally I like both but prefer the MJ version, and how can anyone say that the video is s%$t its ace! Shamon!

How the #¤%&"# can anyone think that Alien Ant Farm's version even comes near the original? I agree with Zappafan that some covers should never have been made. OK: Alien Ant Farm brought some of the punk-teenagers over to maybe appreciating Jacksons material, but I doubt they had any artistic approach in making the cover, other than bringing the fuzz to the party, and making money doing it.
I am currently working on a scientific study on the matter of covers, and I am shocked by many of the results on this site.

As a person, I can't stand Micheal Jackson or like most of his music. But personal feelings aside (and setting aside for a moment his pedophilic tendencies) I've based my vote on artistic merit, presentation, raw talent, and production. Alien Ant Farm did a good cover: B+. But Michael Jackson's still is better, more credible: A+
