The musical legacy of Michael Jackson is, without question, sublime. From his early days with the Jackson 5 to his last released recordings teaming him with the likes of Akon and Kanye West to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the best-selling 'Thriller' album. Over the years, his music has influenced and inspired countless artists. But only a few have dared to cover his music (before his death).
Britain's very own Charlotte Church and Amy Winehouse took a crack at the rock-infused megahit 'Beat It' a few years ago.
It's one for the ages. Check it out below.

What's wrong with that girl, Winehouse? At least, Church was trying to make it happen. AW probably couldn't wait to finish the song so she could run out and get another eight-ball. She sounded terrible. Why does her record company let her go out and perform like that? I know it feeds the tabloids and keeps her in the limelight but her label should have more pride than to let her run around butchering classic music on public tv. I hope she's not gonna end up being the next one to die. She's already on that path.

Charlotte Church's part of the performance was fine. Amy Winehouse on the other hand......she really.....REALLY needs some prayer and help. I couldn't believe my ears when she opened her mouth. I can't believe someone let her go on stage like that....unless that was the intended purpose was to embarass her.
Amy, please get some help now.

Charlotte was incredible but Amy...........Amy has a beautiful voice, but her voice has been ruined over the years by her drug addiction. It is such a shame too. MJ must have been rolling in his grave to see her do such an injustice to his song! Amy needs help and she needs to run to rehab!
