"Yes, yes Michael Jackson was a human being, but dammit, he was a King. Long live the king."
Madonna's speech made me cry so wonderful... everytime I watch it ... i think i've watched it 3x now. Her speech was moving, touching and a tearjerker!!! so true...that's what you call a tribute! I praise and proud of her giving such great speech honoring MJ not just being great but his humane side w/c is vulnerable and naive. A big hand of applause.
i like this part...."In a desperate attempt to hold onto his memory, I went on the Internet to watch old clips of him dancing and singing on TV and onstage and I thought, 'My God, he was so Unique, so Original, so rare. And there will never be anyone like him again.' He was a king. But he was also a human being and alas, we are all human beings and sometimes we have to Lose things Before we can Truly Appreciate them. I want to end this on a positive note and say that my sons, age 9 and 4, are obsessed with Michael Jackson. There's a whole lot of crotch-grabbing and moonwalking going on in my house, and it seems like a whole new generation of kids has discovered his genius and are bringing him to life again. I hope that wherever Michael is now, he is smiling about this.
They are both true artist. I believe a true artist who is not only genius but also has a big heart!!! wonder they have similarities {as she quoted) yet different in the unique way both are M's MJ and Madonna..tnx for u"re speech!
