6. "Dirty Diana" by Michael Jackson, covered by The Weeknd
The Weeknd is often described as having a Michael Jackson-like sound, and whether you hate or love the Canadian R&B singer, you can’t deny the resemblance. As “Dirty Diana” is my favorite Michael Jackson song, I wouldn’t trust any other artist besides The Weeknd to cover the classic. The cover brings the song to life and gives it a modern spin that most covers are often too afraid to do, especially to a Michael Jackson song.
