The Roots & Erykah Badu – “I Wanna Be Where You Are” & “Billie Jean” (Michael Jackson Tribute)
Posted on June 28th, 2009 by HighVoltage in Erykah Badu, Questlove, The Roots
Erykah Badu joined The Roots on Jimmy Fallon this past Friday to join The Legendary during their on-air tribute to the late Michael Jackson. While most of the treats happened between commercial breaks, Questlove was generous enough to pass along these covers of “I Wanna Be Where You Are” and “Billie Jean”, which they recorded live in the 30 Rock studio just before the taping began. Fanstastic stuff here.

Michael jackson was an phenominal artist and the Best dancer in the world , no one will be able to come even close to what he had achieved in his Life . Michael had a gift from God to entertain us and make us feel good. I can’t remember one song that I didn’t at least pop a finger to. His contributions to the world are too great to mention. Every Song of MJ is My Favourite Song .I will Love You forever” He was the best . His music is so pure that i feels like i am in complete different world , infact i am listening to his music right now while writing this . Now (you are not alone ) Song is going on , i wish just for once in a life time i would have met him , He is immortal but stil his death is a big loss of energy in our lives. Michael jakson has been the most popular and loved celebrity across all the countries of world and across all genrations Since this earth is formed no entertainer so far has been able to match 1/4 of his global populairty He is an ANGEL who will reperesent MUSIC in this genesis of earth , He truly deserves his title, “King of Pop”, and I am very sorry to realize that he will never know how much he is loved and appreciated by so many. I just can’t stop loving you Rest in Peace MJ.
