i love fall out boy's beat it!  

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, so I do not think I can be a fair judge as to which song is better. I think they both are unique and possess great qualities in their own right. For instance, I think Fall Out Boy's version of the song is much more fitting to the lyrics and the song itself, because it is so daring and for lack of a better word, more "hardcore." The guitars in the song make it seem like a fight is taking place, or will take place. You can sense the tension through the instruments. In Michael Jackson's version, the emotions are not felt through the song itself. The video, maybe. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for M. Jackson, because I grew up listening to him and enjoy his music. I think he is highly talented, but I do enjoy the version by Fall Out Boy. I honestly think there is no band out there that could have pulled it off as well as they did!

Whilst I love fall out boy...(I JUST THEN GOT BACK FROM THEIR CONCERT! woo!)..I can't decide on one version, I think they are both good in their own ways. I love Micheal Jackson and think he is a genius for so much that he has created!

I love both of the versions. I don't think it's better than the original. But I really liked fallout boy's version too.
