Last year’s American Idol winner, David Cook, sang a version of “Billie Jean” while he was competing on the show and it was a huge hit. I loved what he did with the classic song and I’m sure the fans on his tour were hoping he would perform it as a tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
I saw this video on MJs Big Blog and it brought tears to my eyes. David mentioned “Billie Jean” and the crowd went nuts with excitement but it was short lived – David said that he didn’t want to “half-ass it” since he hadn’t practiced the song in a while but, instead, he asked his audience to participate in a moment of silence as he dimmed the lights in honor of the King of Pop. Very classy.

David’s such a sweetheart. I really admire how thoughtful he is. He could have easily just given the crowd what they wanted, even if that meant half-assing Billie Jean, but in respect for Michael, he dimmed the lights and had a moment of silence. That man makes me proud to be a fan.
