Madonna's tribute to Michael



Michael Jackson was not one of my favourite artists but I'm still kind of obsessed with his premature, untimely death. I don't like Madonna's music either, but she paid a honest, heartfelt, and moving tribute to the late King of Pop the other day at the MTV awards.

She speaks clearly and beautifully, and uses this 'so do I', 'neither do I' you'll be doing just next week . There are a lot more things in her speech you'll probably be doing anytime soon, so why don't you take your time and listen to her? And if you have any problems, here's the script (you can actually watch the video from this page too -MTV- probably with better sound).

Mariona, I have enjoyed very much the words of Madonna, i'm not a fan from her but I used to like very mauch Michael Jackson, but I forgett it lately, because of his supposed affair with the children, there are things so enourmous to forgive or forget, anyway, whem Madonna talked about the big voice of medias and our little voice that we are sure we are not going to be heard it impressed me, perhaps it was a lie all about. Anyway he was a human beeing, and someone without chilhood who get obsed looking for it. It was really nice, beautiful and compasive words!!

Hi Anna, glad to read you here! I also think Madonna is right on target with the image of a tiny person whose voice cannot be heard amid the roar of the media.To tell you the truth, I never actually believed the accusations on child molestation he had to face.

I'm also glad you could finally send you comment despite the many problems you had. Maybe "that satff** of internet shit" doesn't recognise your password because you are typing a bit too fast ;-)?

To tell you the truth I don't really know how to do it. I guess you have to sign up if you want to use your name, and then give the system some time to digest the information. Can anyone help here?

the death's Michael Jackson like his life, since he was a child and sang with his brothers, has been a videoclip that now it will be followed by Madonna, another pop singer who likes sending her image. In spite of this some jakson brothers' songs have a especial soul for me, yet.

the real name of the Jakson brothers was THE JAKSON FIVE

OK, so you mean that MICHAEL JACKSON'S DEATH was like his life,which was like a video clip, and Madonna will be following in his footsteps because she also likes SELLING (is tht what you meant?) her image.

Yes, sure, it must be difficult to lead a "normal" life when you are such a big star, don't you think so?

But, as you said, in spite of all this, he was a brilliant composer, singer and dancer, wasn't he? And we all probably keep one of his songs deep down in our heart.

Thanks for your contribution, anonymous user, whoever you are!
