Hey guys thanks for all the support, I'm finally doing a 20 style video for the first time since October. Will be out in August. Ok, enjoy your day. -Ant
People talk crap about Breaking Benjamin but there sound is so distinct. I could only dream as a musician to have a “sound” as they have developed. Love them or hate them. Breaking Benjamin has firmly planted their sound in the halls of music. Love the emotion!
Breaking Benjamin ROCKS! They are my favorite rock band. Benjamin Burnley's vocals are out of this world. His thrash vocals are hard to compare. The drummer, Shaun Foist, and the original drummer, Chad Szeliga (the best ever), are definitely top 10 drummers. They perform some unbelievable double bass and beat displacement that I just can not keep up with. Unbelievable band.
Not only does this sound eerily similar to Breaking Benjamin, but Jonathan Young's voice here totally could pass as Scooter Ward of Cold. Very good cover.
He's supposed to be sounding like scooter ward because this is supposed to be like far away (one example of most modern BB style) while bad guy in the style of BB is supposed to sound like diary of Jane era
I remember that video, it was a 10 style song - the Billie Jean Korn style wasn't bad, but the most outstanding one was Prince When Doves Cry in Korn Style... seriously, I want that full song. It's fucking good
I saw the title, I was like “this is gonna suck probably.” Boy was I wrong. This is GOLD. It could be one of the most well thought invested songs you’ve done. Keep going in this direction!!
I love this song. It wasn't until I heard Chris Cornell's cover that I understood the lyrics. Very interesting story for what I thought was a generic (yet catchy) love song.
I can’t stop listening to this. Can’t tell what is more unbelievable, that this song wasn’t written by Breaking Benjamin, it wasn’t sung by them, or the spot on impression. Brilliant
Bad Guy in style of breaking Benjamin is where i discovered you because they’re my favorite band.. you making another cover just blows my mind how good you are with imitating BB. We need more covers of BB ASAP!
This is the best cover of this song I've heard in a while. The song just fits in this style so well. You both nailed the way Ben sings too. if I didn't know better, I'd think this actually WAS Breaking Benjamin. Awesome job.🤘
My favorite Michael Jackson song, sang in the style of one of my favorite rock bands, AND Jonathon Young is here? This was absolutely incredible. Those vocals were INSANE.
Loving these Breaking Benjamin style covers, really capturing their style. With the "She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son" its totally giving me Bullet for my Valentine vibes too. This is outstanding work!
Hearing the lyrical writing style of the time over the modern musical style is very telling of how lyrics are written nowadays. There is something very genuine about lyrics from decades ago. They don't sound rehashed or reused. Great cover my dudes.
Please just do a whole cover album in the style of Breaking Benjamin. You're a musical genius. You somewhat remind me of Chris Cornell, and he's the artist who changed my love of rock into something more. Because of him, no matter what musical phases I've gone through in my life, I've always come back to rock. There are only 3 singers whose voices touch me as much as Chris's did, and you are one of those singers. Mike Protich, Adam Gontier and you.
Im totally hooked on this version with vincent and young. Both of u have powerful voices which does this song justice. Just imagine if jackson was still here and he did this song with u guys, i bet hes looking down with pride.
I had my RUclips's "My Mix" on auto play...I absolutely thought a Breaking Benjamin song started playing and I hadn't listened to them in *years*, so I was confused, checked, and then it made sense - I am subscribed after all lol
I love how you guys have been able to nail the sound of Breaking Benjamin twice now! The bad guy cover was definitely Phobia inspired and this one seems more Ember inspired I love it!
By far my favorite version of this song, the way breaking benjamins style compliments this song is just unreal, honestly wouldn't mind alot of songs getting a remake this way. This was epic thank you guys for making this one :)
Word! I could actually picture this being sung by Breaking Benjamin, given their earlier records like Polyamorous or even Shallow Bay. However, this cover seems to be in the newer BB Style, which is entirely fine.
Well, I am a metalcorehead, but BB has been my 2nd favorite band for like 15yrs, and Michael is my favorite solo artist of all-time...WHY IS THIS SOOOOOOOO GODDAMN GOOD?! 🤯
One of the best short descriptions I've heard of BB is that they're one of the most melodic hard rock bands. They keep the passion and tone of hard rock/metal/whatever-genre-you-call-it, but it's far more than guitar thrashing and thumping bass. Ben just seems to use hidden melodies and harmonics better than most. Similar to Evanescence, Halestorm, and Skillet.
Never imagined this style for Billie Jean, but it works! Enjoyed this! Have you ever done a styles cover mashup, where you start with one artist in the style of another artist, and then that style artist becomes the artist in the style of the first artist (so MJ in Breaking Benjamin morphs into Breaking Benjamin in style of MJ as an example)?
This is an amazing cover. It does enough differently to make it your own, changes the tone enough to be worth listening to as a separate piece, but is instantly recognizable. Perfect blend of elements, and difficult to pull off well.
One of the best Collavs/covers I've EVER heard. Do an entire album of hits in this style. I'll buy the CD AND download the entire album to a playlist and listen to it everyday for YEARS!!
Omg this is fucking awesome!! Huge MJ here and it takes something pretty special for me to like a cover of any MJ song, especially Billie Jean. This has that something!!
I'm so glad you're consistently uploading these "in the style of" videos again. They keep me coming back and they're always spot-on and super entertaining :D
I’ve been hoping for a new in-the-style-of-BB ever since I heard Breaking Bad Guy in 2019. This goes just as hard, if not harder, than that🔥🔥🔥 Amazing job, Ant!
I know! 1st cover of BB is where I discovered Anthony. Was blown away by it. I even have that song on my Spotify playlist… guess I have another song to add and play on repeat
Coming back to this, those screams by Anthony in 3:39 used to sound like Ben to me but for some reason now I think I had a realization that it actually sounds more like Devin Townsend which is also awesome
awesome. I would watch the shit out of rock/metal covers like these. reminds me of disturbed's cover of sound of silence, and Dan Vasc's cover for Toss a Coin to Your Witcher . can't get enough of these.
Hey guys thanks for all the support, I'm finally doing a 20 style video for the first time since October. Will be out in August. Ok, enjoy your day. -Ant
Niiice! My birthday is in August. The 2nd.
Hooolyyy shit, fucking flawless, 10 out of 10
Great it's been a bit can't wait and great video love it 😍 💖💖💖
Glad you are back. This collaborations with Jonathan are always wonderful and intense!
Awesome! Glad to see you back.

The crap talkers are the same ones who love nickback and WAP. I ignore them for the sheep they are
@@joehooper89 WAP is a good song, im a totally different genre lol I love BB but I’ve always found these kind of comparisons really stupid
Breaking Benjamin ROCKS! They are my favorite rock band. Benjamin Burnley's vocals are out of this world. His thrash vocals are hard to compare.

@@swstryker8685 I’m sorry but you and op have the exact same type of picture and it’s sending me
@@juand1rection WTF?
You make every song sound epic in the style of Breaking Benjamin, they deserve a whole album in their style
Yes they do!
YES!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
how about killswitch engage style ? worth of second album lol
@@MickThompson7515 Slipknot?
Billie Jean as a sequel to Polyamorous is a pretty funny idea
Not only does this sound eerily similar to Breaking Benjamin, but Jonathan Young's voice here totally could pass as Scooter Ward of Cold. Very good cover.
Thought it was him for a second lol!
Now that you mention it Jonathan does sound like Scooter Ward
Yes! That was my first thought while listening to this. It made me want to listen to Cold.
He's supposed to be sounding like scooter ward because this is supposed to be like far away (one example of most modern BB style) while bad guy in the style of BB is supposed to sound like diary of Jane era
I've been a fan of Breaking Benjamin since 2011, it's very similar to the way Benjamin sings.
We need a Breaking Benjamin style album! Their styles are the best, this and Breaking Bad Guy.
Breaking Bad Guy MIGHT be my favorite cover Ant has done. Right up there with the Unholy Ghost cover.
The chorus goes so hard in this style
I love that Johnathan was channeling Ben Burley is his performance with the exaggerated enunciation. Always loved how distinctive Ben's voice is.
I remember years ago when you did Billie Jean in the Style of Korn, I thought that was awesome...
And yet, I still love this more, Well Done guys!
I remember that video, it was a 10 style song - the Billie Jean Korn style wasn't bad, but the most outstanding one was Prince When Doves Cry in Korn Style... seriously, I want that full song. It's fucking good
I really want a full cover of the Korn version. It was sooo goood
This actually sounds like a Breaking Benjamin 100%
Dude, this is a freaking banger on its own! This should be on the radio!
I love that he nails the song styles so well, that you can sing along on the first time listening to it.
This was sooo good!
I’m sure I’m not alone in saying this, but it’d be badass if you released a compilation of covers.
As long as they're not brokeback benjamin covers
Seconded!
@@danh3075 lets cool it on the homophobia
Take my money
@@danh3075 hating on something a majority likes does not make you interesting
I saw the title, I was like “this is gonna suck probably.” Boy was I wrong. This is GOLD. It could be one of the most well thought invested songs you’ve done. Keep going in this direction!!
agree.... I thought it was gonna suck as well. Played it to hate but ended up liking it.
@@lucianmoon58 Come on, if you knew Anthony and his band, they don't mess around with Breaking Ben.
@@zaynes5094 I didn't know. It just popped up on my feed. And decided to give it a try.
This cover deserves a new title...
The Diary of Billie Jean
Another awesome masterpiece man! Keep up the good work 🤘🤘🤘
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Now that's a sick song title 👏👏👏✊🏾✊🏾
I was thinking "Breaking Billie Jean", but I like your idea better.
Johnathan looks like he's having a lot of fun rocking out.
I love this song. It wasn't until I heard Chris Cornell's cover that I understood the lyrics. Very interesting story for what I thought was a generic (yet catchy) love song.
Lol, same. Chris Chornell's version is a beautifully emotional masterpiece, I love how pissed he sounds like it was really happening to him!
That version was so beautiful it was the first song I ever learned on my guitar
It's about a stalker trying to get the singer's attention by telling him she had his baby (originally)
You must be a Gen Z, lol
@@arisboba millennial here

Blows me away... Missed the pun
@@sagiren Halo there... how are you?
Okay, Breaking Benjamin NEEDS to do a Billie Jean cover now!! Yall killed this
you basically just got one
The Diary of Jean - another amazing and unique cover, 10/10. Thank you, Anthony and Jonathan!
This is the best cover of this song I've heard in a while. The song just fits in this style so well. You both nailed the way Ben sings too. if I didn't know better, I'd think this actually WAS Breaking Benjamin. Awesome job.🤘
My favorite Michael Jackson song, sang in the style of one of my favorite rock bands, AND Jonathon Young is here? This was absolutely incredible. Those vocals were INSANE.
All of the above.
Jane is jealous.
You win!
Billie jane
Best comment by far 🎉😂😂😂 please like even if you don't understand
She can write in her diary… and stay mad!
@@swampzombietm9918seems like Jane, Jenny, and Billie Jean are all the same woman that broke up with 3 different musicians at different times 😂
Loving these Breaking Benjamin style covers, really capturing their style. With the "She says I am the one, but the kid is not my son" its totally giving me Bullet for my Valentine vibes too. This is outstanding work!
I'm hearing that too.
This is the collaboration/cover that I didn't know that I needed, until NOW.
Breaking Benjamin NEEDS to hear this! 🔥🔥🔥 BRAVO, Gentlemen!!!
Love Breaking Benjamin and Michael Jackson. This is perfect. You’re wildly talented!
Breaking Benjamin's cover of Dirty Diana is pure bliss
Hearing the lyrical writing style of the time over the modern musical style is very telling of how lyrics are written nowadays. There is something very genuine about lyrics from decades ago. They don't sound rehashed or reused. Great cover my dudes.

Awesome. Just awesome.
Anthony makes another awesome banger! Your Breaking Benjamin style songs are the best!
I would argue his Linkin Park covers are better
@@vitalino1981 You would be arguing incorrectly.
Only because no one linkin parks like linkin park.
@@vitalino1981 I will admit his version of Lose Yourself is out of this world. Honestly all his stuff is amazing so it's hard to pick a definite best
@@darkdudironaji lol let the dude have his opinion ffs
Im totally hooked on this version with vincent and young. Both of u have powerful voices which does this song justice. Just imagine if jackson was still here and he did this song with u guys, i bet hes looking down with pride.
Expected no less from you nephew ~ Outstanding well done!
I had my RUclips's "My Mix" on auto play...I absolutely thought a Breaking Benjamin song started playing and I hadn't listened to them in *years*, so I was confused, checked, and then it made sense - I am subscribed after all lol
I love how you guys have been able to nail the sound of Breaking Benjamin twice now! The bad guy cover was definitely Phobia inspired and this one seems more Ember inspired I love it!
the tune is more like one of their song in Dear Agony Album
@@williamskyseraspili4779 the song you’re thinking of is most likely either Crawl or Hopeless
I was thinking Aurora album because he sounded like scooter ward
This is absolutely one of your best covers...you killed it 🤟
Never thought I'd hear Billie Jean(which is a banger on its own) in this style, but DAMN it slapped harder than I expected it to!
You're truly one of the only groups of people that can actually deliver on making a song in the style and have it be convincing!
Breaking Benjamin is my favorite band, and this song goes so hard I love it! You guys did an amazing job!
Same
More of this! More of Jonathan Young!
That was great!
You hit all the Breaking Benjamin marks. The rhythm, the beats, how he harmonizes his screaming and everything
Killed it. Awesome
Pretty amazing, I find it hard to just imagine a song like Billie Jean in such a different style and yet it works
Take a look at this cover then: ruclips.net/video/R0uWF-37DAM/видео.html
In terms of sheer musical talent, I'd put Anthony Vincent up against anyone. He's absolutely amazing.
As someone whose favorite band is Breaking Benjamin and loves Michael Jackson, this is just beautiful!🤟
This sounds like a whole new Song! omfg so good and fresh!
11/10 best MJ cover Ive ever heard, you guys knocked it out of the park.
By far my favorite version of this song, the way breaking benjamins style compliments this song is just unreal, honestly wouldn't mind alot of songs getting a remake this way. This was epic thank you guys for making this one :)
This style actually fits the lyrics amazingly well. This cover rocks!
Word!
I could actually picture this being sung by Breaking Benjamin, given their earlier records like Polyamorous or even Shallow Bay.
However, this cover seems to be in the newer BB Style, which is entirely fine.
I bet you'd say this for literally anything he does lol
I keep replaying 02:24. Fucking LOVE that low growl underneath!
Well, I am a metalcorehead, but BB has been my 2nd favorite band for like 15yrs, and Michael is my favorite solo artist of all-time...WHY IS THIS SOOOOOOOO GODDAMN GOOD?! 🤯
One of the best short descriptions I've heard of BB is that they're one of the most melodic hard rock bands.

Ben just seems to use hidden melodies and harmonics better than most. Similar to Evanescence, Halestorm, and Skillet.
I think ya answered your own question. Lol. Because that thang be thangin'. The break be breaking. And the Ben be Ben-jamming.
❤❤❤
How is that you make covers that sound so accurate to the original musicians? You’re uber talented man.
I've been listening to breaking benjamin since 2006 and this is such a good style cover!!!
Holy hell… I don’t know what I was expecting, but y’all knocked this out of the fucking park!!
Never imagined this style for Billie Jean, but it works! Enjoyed this! Have you ever done a styles cover mashup, where you start with one artist in the style of another artist, and then that style artist becomes the artist in the style of the first artist (so MJ in Breaking Benjamin morphs into Breaking Benjamin in style of MJ as an example)?
I'm guessing that's how plays out
Now that would be cool!
this is going on my permanent playlist. both you guys nailed this so hard. this is what a cover should be.
This is just too freaking awesome! Anthony and Jon are a dynamic duo, and their voices just make the song so intense, and pleasant to the ears.
2:07 caught off guard when a metal Goofy hit.❤😂
Heh heh
This is an amazing cover. It does enough differently to make it your own, changes the tone enough to be worth listening to as a separate piece, but is instantly recognizable. Perfect blend of elements, and difficult to pull off well.
This and the running up that hill cover I could listen to about 50x a day
That's some seriously impressive work. Both the singing and arrangement are top notch.
One of the best Collavs/covers I've EVER heard. Do an entire album of hits in this style. I'll buy the CD AND download the entire album to a playlist and listen to it everyday for YEARS!!
Man! Your breaking Benjamin covers are unbelievable!!
Absolutely love this!
This is absolutely dope, thank you to everyone involved!
Your channel pretty much proves that I'll listen to any song if it's covered in a style I like.
This is simply one of the best things I’ve ever watched. Legit got goosebumps during the chorus
So beyond amazing!!! I don't think I have ever been this impressed in my life to be honest 💯
Omg this is fucking awesome!! Huge MJ here and it takes something pretty special for me to like a cover of any MJ song, especially Billie Jean. This has that something!!
One of the best „in style of/Cover/tribute songs I‘ve ever heard…
Fantastic work…
Greetings from germany…
I love this cover. Need this released everywhere
I'm speechless. the only thing I can say is that I've never instantly subscribed to someone from just one video. Phenomenal!
I'm so glad you're consistently uploading these "in the style of" videos again. They keep me coming back and they're always spot-on and super entertaining :D
the echoes of the voice are so spot on the breaking benjamin. best thing ive heard in a long time
I’ve been hoping for a new in-the-style-of-BB ever since I heard Breaking Bad Guy in 2019. This goes just as hard, if not harder, than that🔥🔥🔥 Amazing job, Ant!
Loved it, was waiting for the original melody/high note as a resolution though for the "I" on "I am the one"
This deserves way more views! So good!
I heard this song so many times already. Still not tired of heard it, Jonathan Young vocals are sooo deep.
This was FU***** EPIC!!!
Absolutely amazing! "The diary of Jane" vibes all over it!
Straight BANGER 🤘🏾🤘🏾🔥🔥🔥! The cover I never knew I needed is on the playlist 🖤.
Ooh, I like the two vocal style interpretations …both spot on
I'm a huge Breaking Benjamin fan so when I got the notification I instantly clicked... Amazing cover and take on Breaking Benjamin's style!!! ❤
I know! 1st cover of BB is where I discovered Anthony. Was blown away by it. I even have that song on my Spotify playlist… guess I have another song to add and play on repeat
Same
Same. A great song in the style of my favorite band for the last 20 years? I'm there.
This is by far one of the best covers yet! i really love this version of Billie Jean! thank you guys! wish i can like this vid more than once!
Holy shit, Jonathan's Ben impression is on point. Fantastic job, both of you guys!
The transition @2:00 is so accurate to breaking benjamin so fire love this
The dual vocals in this is absolutely outstanding. This might be my favorite version. (I am a huge fan of the Chris Cornell version too)
This is friggen awesome.
Damm that chorus coming in, that baby was perfect. This is your best one yet! amazing as always
Damn! I would buy this! It’s gonna blow up!
Johnathan singing was like a BB and Volbeat mashup
sooo this and mac glocky w/ his disturbed/disturbia... my jams, solid af guys this is legendary. thank you for your work.
At 1:07 my mind went like ”SO SACRIFICE YOURSEEEEEEEELF”
Right? I got serious “Breath” vibes from that (probably cause of the key it’s in)
Scream at 3:24 was exactly what I was waiting for. Awesome.
Thank you for Michael Jackson - the greatest artist ever. The cover is impressive.
Coming back to this, those screams by Anthony in 3:39 used to sound like Ben to me but for some reason now I think I had a realization that it actually sounds more like Devin Townsend which is also awesome
Killer vocals as always 🤙
Dude! What you do is awesome!
awesome. I would watch the shit out of rock/metal covers like these. reminds me of disturbed's cover of sound of silence, and Dan Vasc's cover for Toss a Coin to Your Witcher . can't get enough of these.
Dude this is killer!!❤️🖤🔥🔥
