Beat It is a Van Halen song with MJ singing. Can't go wrong. The story


goes something like Van Halen was off tour (David Lee Roth probably in rehab or something) and Eddie Van Halen was asked to come to the studio and work with this young kid from the Jackson 5. Eddie Van Halen came up with the riff for Billie Jean and gave it to him for free so that the band would never find out. After all, it's not like anyone would ever hear this young kid's album or so he thought

edited because I identified the incorrect song. Beat It had the Van Halen riff not Billie Jean.
