Erykah Badu x The Roots I Wanna Be Where You Are (Michael Jackson Cover) covers
If one were to look at one positive thing that has come of Michael Jackson’s death, I know it’s terrible to say, but the most obvious would have to be the way the entire music community has come together to show their gratitude to the late King of Pop.

Some good tributes, others… not so good. Regardless, I can’t recall when the last time was I saw such an outpouring of love, admiration, and mourning.

The dearly departed King of Pop would definitely not be disappointed with this tribute. Eryka Badhu is fiery and phenomenal, and kinda sounds like MJ in some parts too. The Roots per usual are breaking it down, and per usual they sound like some bad mamma jammas.

This version of “I Wanna Be Where You Are” is full of soul. One of my favorite tributes I’ve heard thus far.

Verdict: This cover comes second only to the legend himself. Listen to it here
