The whole world will miss you MJ...
I know everyone is doing a tribute, but I find that I can't help myself. If you love music, it's hard to avoid and even kind of cathartic to put together. He made such an impact to the world through his music, dance and even his crazy shennanegans. This is a huge blow to the heart of music. I can't fully express just how much he will be missed...
A compilation of my faves with covers, originals and remixes:
Jason Mraz & Nikki Spelen - Billy Jean
Michael Jackson - PYT Marquis remix
Ben Gibbard - Thriller
Jackson 5 - I Want You Back
Michael Jackson ft. Will.I.Am - The Girl Is Mine
The Jacksons - Blame It On the Boogie
Michael Jackson - Rock With You
Billy Jean
Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough
Black or White
Thriller
Bad -
Copacabana Club
They actually remind me a lot of Cansei de Ser Sexy with the same kind of tropical, fun, dance-y vibe (kinda makes sense since they're both from Brazil). Good stuffs. This is my fave song thus far, remix is equally good if not better for shaking your groove thang.
Copacabana Club - Just Do It
Copacabana Club - Just Do It (Boss In Drama remix) -
The Cliks
These guys are fairly new and fairly awesome! I came across them walking past a concert on Dundas Square (couldn't stay since I was heading out to see Year One) and the vocals just hooked me in. Bands usually lose me with poor vocal chops, but Lucas has a pretty sweet voice.
Dirty King (Dirty King)
Oh Yeah (Snake House)
Cry Me a River (Justin Timberlake cover) (Snake House) -
Cover me babyyy
I always find it oh-so-cute when indie rock bands cover 90s hits.
Charlie ASH - I wanna sex you up (Colour Me Badd)
The Gossips - Are you that somebody (Aliyaah)
Casiotone For the Painfully Alone - Hot Boyz (Missy Elliot)
A more traditional cover (but daaaamn good) is Jean Grae's B.I.G cover Hypnotize

BENJI (the singer not dancer)
BENJI HUGHES. Hate his facial hair. LOVE his voice. He has such a sweet laidback voice, mellow and a little blues-y. I'm in love with: You Stood Me Up => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgqOeAPChwo
Girl in A Tower showcases his voice more though...
