This is, by far the BEST speech ANYONE has EVER said about Michael in history. Not even his own FAMILY spoke about him in this way. I'm not a Madonna fan, but I respect her for the way she spoke about Michael. God bless them both.
well it was easy for her to give such a coherent speech thanks to the distance between them. the family was completely crushed (like Janet at the BET awards)
It makes sense Michael would have reached out to Madonna. There were only few people who lived similar lives as him and would treat him like a human being. Janet told him he would have to either be with someone equally famous as him or find someone that doesnt know who the heck he is.
"I abandoned him." You don't hear those words at Michael's memorial. Instead we got a whole bunch of hifalutin celebrities patting themselves on the pack for supposedly knowing Michael the "person."
I am not a huge fan of Madonna (I don't know her enough), but she made one of the most relatable and honest speeches about Michael Jackson ever. A contrary to some so-called friends who are with you for the good times only, Madonna admitted that many people abandoned Michael Jackson when he needed them, including her ! Even though Madonna and Michael weren't always the best friends ever (nor the sworn enemy of each other), there's a kind of respect between them. I think Madonna truly misses Michael Jackson, as a rival and a human being.
louloutre , and note that some haters tried to turn it around by saying she made the speech all about her...but not a single one could refute what she said.
Probably because she was honest. You dont hear any other celebrities admitting to the fact that they abandoned Michael. Everyone is so caught up in the tributes celebrities are paying to him no one stops to think that where where they (his contemporaries and the younger artist he inspired) when he was being crucified by the tabloids and media. She called them out on their and HER own hypocrisy.
because she forgot to add in the part where she tried to force Michael to go to a strip bar, and totally made claims and called him all sorts of names. and the fact that Michael didn't like her. he has said so himself
We all killed Michael Jackson. The media has the greatest blame. Then all of Michael's "friends" who were not there for him during his darkest days. Then the rest of the world who never knew him but believed all the media bullshit and crucified him. Meanwhile Michael Jackson continued to love all people and maintained his humanity and his humility up until the end.
We? I didn't do shit. I hate when people say "we killed Michael" maybe you're one of those phony fans who used to believe the media lies and feel guilty.
She means, society killed Michael Jackson. Every person who started a rumor, everyone who perpetuated the lies, every childhood moment he never experienced. When we don't speak out we aid in the destruction of good people. That's the point.
That is why the fans should have been the ones speaking at the Memorial. Not those phoney baloney celebrities. You never knew Michael and yet you know better than to believe the tabloid bullshit and the child abuse allegations. They supposedly knew the man and yet couldn't speak up for him. They have no fucking excuse. Then again, it is well known that most Hollywood types have no conscience whatsoever.
No matter what you think of Madonna at least she had the courage to admit she had abandoned him. What a brave speech. I wish she has stood up for him, 1 powerful celebrity like Madonna might have made a difference. MJ was so broken and hurt by the witch hunt....emotional pain lasts much longer than any physical pain. MJ is dead but long live the king!
+Coordinator UBBi have a question back when michael and madonna went out for the oscars michael said madonna was a witch was it because he didnt understand her? or they stopped contacting each other?
Hi Stanley, sorry but I don't know anything about that story. Is there any video where Michael can be heard directly calling Madonna a 'witch'...I always say unless you hear directly you have to be weary of what the media report...they demonised Michael for so many years.
+Lasse Thank God Michael had his own camera man taping the truth because Bashir is now paying the cost as Sneddon did Bashir has brain cancer strange the karma you pay for the sins you commit Even if it's too late. At least the fans from all over the world came to support him in his darkest hours.
From what I have read Madonna had a crush on Michael but Michael did not have a crush on Madonna. I wish Michael could have heard this speech. He would have been very touched.
Laurie Solomon Yeah that's the info I have too... I also wish he had heard it. You can hate Madonna for many reasons, but to me, she comes off as a genuine and honest person. Not a "stab you in the back" kind of person... and out of all the MJ tributes and speeches, she gave him the truest and the best one.
Madonna is so underrated. It took real guts to tell to a whole room full of celebrities what she said up there. Especially since it was true. This might be his best eulogy ever, and it didn't seem for a moment she was doing it to get attention for herself. Bravo.
FINALLY!!!! It took a celebrity to call out other celebrities on their BS. Yes they all cry now but where were they when MJ was being crucified by the tabloids? Madonna not only called out Hollywood on their hypocrisy but her own as well, it takes alot to admit that you were wrong in passing unfair judgment. We normal humans cant even do that in our daily mundane lives so imagine what it takes for someone like Madonna to do that on live television in front of the Jackson family nonetheless. It is the silence of our friends that sting and hurt us more than the words of our enemies.
1. MJ didn't even like this bitch..lol 2. Madonna stole some of Jackson's bass lines in her earl career. 3. Michael said she was a jealous bitch..and she had a problem with being a woman. 4. Where was all the support for MJ when the media constantly called him a moster, wacko jacko, or a pedophile. MJ IS THE ALIVE AND WELL... FUCK THEM FAKE DEMON BITCHES!
Abel Alvarez Madonna isn't the equal to MJ by any means...she is close, perhaps the closest...but still far off. That's like saying a peanut and a grape are the closest to a peanut butter sandwich when you have a peanut, a grape, a rock, a spoon, a hippo, and a grasshopper. The peanut and grape aren't on the same level as the pb and j sammich, but it's closer than squishing a grasshopper onto the sweaty back of a hippo and licking it. Gotta stop mixing beer and benadryl. But you get my point.
Well i just saw your comment. i respected MJ very much..and all the time i thought that he was the greates, but MJ fall asleep, he did not do anything bigger than THRILLER and then he got into so many troubles that afected his carreir and his talent, because his brain was not working well at the end, just look his face at the end. fame absorb him and he has not control of anything, he did not even knew how to handle his legal problems. Madonna is about to break all the records in the history of music. not as talented as MJ but look with talent or not in this moment she is stll here and no other woman has done what she did. that`s for me the equal of king,, this time the queen will be bigger man. even you like it or not,, and forget about PB&J.
what i love about madonna's words is that she flat out said "i abandoned him" everyone else who commented on michael's death would say "they abandoned him" like they were innicent when in reality she was right: we ALL abandoned michael. madonna was being real and honest. like always she has no fear in speaking her mind.

I had always been a fan of Madonna's music but when I watched this live that night of the award show I gained an entirely new respect for her. I wish more people, (other celebrities and the media) had the courage and character to acknowledge they too had turned their backs on him. This speech was so needed! I remember the spin some in the media tried to place on this speech by saying it was all about "her" and she was so "self-absorbed". That was their way of negating the truth she spoke. What she was doing was showing the parallels between she and Michael, which doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out. I hope the majority of the viewing audience understood her message and hopefully learned from it.
I agree! It wasn't about her at all! She just spoke about herself as a reference to Michael Jackson. People shouldn't be BSing all the time... And she's right, we did turn our backs on him...
Exactly! 🙏 She was the one talking about him, so she obviously was talking from her own perspective. It's not like she was some divine power who could see everything. The media tried to twist her speech so they wouldn't have to admit their guilt. And probably that's why so many artists don't say these things. They are protecting their careers. Selfishness and kissing the devil's ass
yes, and she was saying that while they shared similarities and hardships, he had it even worse than she did. I think the comparisons were to make a point that not even she could fully relate to the tremendously difficult life he had.
+Sims Is my life Um sooofuckn what!!!!!... THE Whole world called him a pedofile pervert... Is it/ was it true? He was a sad gay closet case, that Madonna recognized and didn't think for a minute to expose him... Which she could have. Madonna knew what and who he was the minute she met him... She chose to respect his talent as an artist. And rise above the stupidity. That's why she is the undisputed QUEEN OF POP.
Madonna has matured, has her own children now, Michael Jackson saw the good in her, he wouldn't want haters passing judgement like what was done to him, nice tribute Madonna, he was the King and you are the Queen
Why? This is just Madonna talking about herself and me long a tribute to MJ into a tribute about her. Same thing happened to Prince and Aretha Franklin.
Jimmy Fallon looked teary eyed; Madonna was a really genuine person in this dedication; appreciate that since I always saw Michael as a guy with no childhood too; thanks, Madonna; God bless you Michael
@@nicolajanehunt5242 however Jimmy Fallon didn t say.a.word when MJ died, though Questlove (the leader of the band) is a huge MJ fan. He didn't even mention MJ. Though he had a show on the day MJ died.
This is the best tribute ever because she wasn't a hypocrite. She said "I had abandoned him." Her words sounded gentle, yet realistic. And of course, since she is the queen, it makes sense her speaking about the king's death.
Madonna kept it real in her speech, new found respect for her after watching this. When she said everyone abandoned MJ in his dark time including herself..wow.
It's 2020 and I still get choked up with this... that's how profound MJ was in the lives of fans. So grateful that I caught his concert in 1996. The greatest I've ever experienced.
She hit the nail on the head with 'when you don't have something you become obsessed by it' he became obsessed with having a childhood... psychiatrists even said that he was stuck in the mind of a 10 year old she also was on point about the witch hunt that plagued his life for 20 years.
Wow! Never heard a more beautiful, sincere and honest speech about Michael. At least she didn‘t pretend to have been his friend unlike many others who claim that. Thank you, Madonna
man...surprisingly...i was....MOVED. think this is the best speech for MJ after his death that i've heard. too bad we never had the pleasure of enjoying the both of em in a duet way back when....after Whitney...there's only Madonna and Prince.. pop idols of my coming-of-age years... [BIG HEAVY SIGH]
+Ephraim Nana Antwi I care about Prince and he is a part of the renewal and reawakening of music and the industry in the 80's. Prince was trying to bring awareness and espousing slavery and the lack of ownership of a artist master tapes from Warner Brothers Records almost a decade before MJ began to expose Sony on the very same grievance. It's only because Prince changed his style of music that you don't see the scope of his popularity anymore. I'm pretty sure that he prefers a smaller fan base with freedom of creativity to being made a slave to the rhythm. Prince in many respects a musical genius in his own right.
+Pash ThaDance I know that they each respected each other's talent. They seemed to have good clean rivalry. Probably Mikes only real gripe was Prince trying to date Latoya. Hee - hee!
+Destiny Sulfridge She is really an incredible human being. She gives so much money to charities all under the table. She is very honest and very intelligent. If you ever get a chance, go see her in concert or watch some of her tours. She is one of the last ones left from that pop era.
It shouldn't really take a speech to make you like Madonna, I'm seeing a lot of these ' I like madonna after this ' and I'm sat here thinking Why? She's always been so unique and one step ahead of everyone else, Her music was great and she always stood up for what she believed in that alone makes her a great person, Just saying
Jordan 87 it's not that she's bad, she's just not my cup of tea. I don't like her politics or her music that much. You shouldn't care really, obliviously somebody loves her since she has the title of queen of pop.
I got here after Billboard speech. Madonna speaks up and speaks out. It seems that, besides being the Queen of Pop, the great muse of music, she is also a Queen of Speeches. Queen and King.
I've been dancing to his music since i was 11 and I'm still doing it now at 17. I love michael and will try to carry on his magnificent legacy till the day i die. I love you michael, i miss you.
I have been dancing to his music since I was 4 with Thriller. 34 years ago that was, and I still dance to his music (though age is sneeking into my knees a bit) But when I am working at work, or on my game at home....when I need some inspiration, I bring out the Jackson. (Love Janet more though lol) It amazes me some that Michael still pulls in new fans every single year. I am grateful I was able to grow up in the right generation, and see it all. I think on the bad speaking in the early 90's when they dated, that was almost 25 years ago. People change. I think she has grief for Michael, and that is why she came to these pointed statements. I think also she brought to everyones face that they HAD abandoned him. That she HAD abandoned him. It can be a very devistating feeling that you feel you turned away from someone, and now they are gone. Did you have something to do with that by turning my back on him. At least that is how I feel this was meant.
While she called out other celebrities and herself, it has to be pointed out that Madonna always defended him when everyone hated on him. She told him to change styles once, but aside from that, always has stood up for him when very few other people did.
Say what you will, she has not turned against MJ, even if he didn't think much of her and they didn't have a long lasting friendship... Thank you, Madonna!
It’s a shame because I actually think he did respect her and liked her a great deal in the beginning. He probably felt that she had betrayed his trust by ridiculing him in the media when things didn’t go the way she wanted it to. In the rabbi tapes, he sounded more disappointed than anything to be honest. Maybe a bit bitter too.
MJ's version of their date was a lot different, but I think it had a lot to do with his own awkward insecurity about dating. Nevertheless, wouldn't it have been something special if those two would've gotten together either professionally or romantically? Who knows, they might have even had a baby. I'm sure it would've been a beautiful child. Lourdes is gorgeous and the boys are handsome.
Wow. “But sometimes we have to lose things to learn to appreciate them.” In connection with what she said earlier that you get obsessed with what you lacked. Wise. What a storyteller
what a lovely speeech from Madonna, her words made me cry, and she was right that everyone has abondened him when he needed them the most in his life. I miss you Michael. Not a day passes by without me thinking about you and your music. I love you forever. Long live the King!!!!
Phoenix Down me to, i remember Beyonce, Usher and more celebrities saying : My friend Micheal Jackson this and that, but no one say, i had abandooned him
I have always believed that Michael Jackson was too talented for his own good. And too nice and decent of a person. Such people are always targets of the jealous and envious and there will always be those who try to bring them down. So sad but true.
Love that fact that Madonna spoke from the heart. I loved this speech i remember seeing this years ago and actually came looking for it again. It was honest and down to earth.
For this speech I will always respect you Madonna no matter what your past was or what people say I respect those who respect Michael jackson and you are one of them. I don't care about your and MJ's rivalry but from here I understood you always have a soft corner for him and you understood him and respect him. I salute you for this Madonna. God bless you.
Nobody could have done a better speech about "The King of Pop" than "The Queen of Pop". This speech is still legendary so many years after Madonna made her speech and that says a lot (in my opinion) not only about Madonna but more importantly about the legendary Michael Jackson. :)
I was so touch with her speech and deep inside me said she tells d truth about michael,i love madonna but i never xpect that shes brave enough to tell this in d intire world..for the king it should be the queen who will honor him..
This is, by far the BEST speech ANYONE has EVER said about Michael in history. Not even his own FAMILY spoke about him in this way. I'm not a Madonna fan, but I respect her for the way she spoke about Michael. God bless them both.
I cried so hard. Her words just damn. I miss Michael so much it hurts. :'(
I know how you feel, believe me. I'm in the same boat.
well it was easy for her to give such a coherent speech thanks to the distance between them. the family was completely crushed (like Janet at the BET awards)
It makes sense Michael would have reached out to Madonna. There were only few people who lived similar lives as him and would treat him like a human being. Janet told him he would have to either be with someone equally famous as him or find someone that doesnt know who the heck he is.
I have to disagree. I think the best comments made were by Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross. While Michael was STILL alive.
Madonna should definitely get an award for her speeches!
Yep she is one megastar who can move you when she speaks!
So true.... 🙌🙌🙌♥️♥️♥️😍🌹🌹
"I abandoned him." You don't hear those words at Michael's memorial. Instead we got a whole bunch of hifalutin celebrities patting themselves on the pack for supposedly knowing Michael the "person."

She chose to respect his talent as an artist. And rise above the stupidity. That's why she is the undisputed QUEEN OF POP.
Sims Is my life Why would I fight you
Sims Is my life No, it sounds like I have a irrelevant TROLLING FOOL on my thread... That can/ will be deleted at my will...
Sims Is my life Laugh at your deletion TROLL...
OH MY GOD! She took my words RIGHT out of my mouth.
Madonna has matured, has her own children now, Michael Jackson saw the good in her, he wouldn't want haters passing judgement like what was done to him, nice tribute Madonna, he was the King and you are the Queen
This speech make me cry
me too
Why? This is just Madonna talking about herself and me long a tribute to MJ into a tribute about her. Same thing happened to Prince and Aretha Franklin.
Joan Mbabazi
Me too...
me too! was crying while watching this
Same feeling, I love her speech, I love Micharl Jackson! 2019 and he is still loved.
Jimmy Fallon looked teary eyed; Madonna was a really genuine person in this dedication; appreciate that since I always saw Michael as a guy with no childhood too; thanks, Madonna; God bless you Michael
Jimmy Fallon made a joke about Michael Jackson touching boys and called Michael Jackson a weardo when Wade Robson was on his show.
@@nicolajanehunt5242 that was Jimmy Kimmel not Fallon, Kimmel is a 🐍
@@wioletwoes thanks I always get them too mixed up
@@nicolajanehunt5242 however Jimmy Fallon didn t say.a.word when MJ died, though Questlove (the leader of the band) is a huge MJ fan. He didn't even mention MJ. Though he had a show on the day MJ died.
This is the best tribute ever because she wasn't a hypocrite. She said "I had abandoned him." Her words sounded gentle, yet realistic.
And of course, since she is the queen, it makes sense her speaking about the king's death.
Only the queen could've given a tribute to the king
''And sometimes we have to lose things before we can truly appreciate them''
That was true in all aspect of our life; it is true.
Madonna kept it real in her speech, new found respect for her after watching this. When she said everyone abandoned MJ in his dark time including herself..wow.
THE QUEEN HONORING THE KING....NOTHING MORE FITTING THAN THIS.
She was 100% on the money with that tribute! Thank you, Madonna...
Ive watched this before and each time she says "I abandoned him, we abandoned him" I completely fell apart 😢
She is an absolutely great speaker...touching words about Michael......
It's 2020 and I still get choked up with this... that's how profound MJ was in the lives of fans. So grateful that I caught his concert in 1996. The greatest I've ever experienced.
She hit the nail on the head with 'when you don't have something you become obsessed by it' he became obsessed with having a childhood... psychiatrists even said that he was stuck in the mind of a 10 year old
she also was on point about the witch hunt that plagued his life for 20 years.
This is really a powerful speech from Madonna. God bless her, We love you Michael.
A beautiful, no-nonsense speech from Madonna. I like how genuine she is, you can never pull the wool over her eyes, and I feel that in her words here.
So true. She spoke from the heart.
Wow! Never heard a more beautiful, sincere and honest speech about Michael. At least she didn‘t pretend to have been his friend unlike many others who claim that. Thank you, Madonna
man...surprisingly...i was....MOVED.
think this is the best speech for MJ after his death that i've heard.
too bad we never had the pleasure of enjoying the both of em in a duet way back when....after Whitney...there's only Madonna and Prince.. pop idols of my coming-of-age years... [BIG HEAVY SIGH]
+Rahmat Suriadireja Now there's only Madonna left.
Sadly there is only Madonna left :(
Savannah Spencer :'(
Yep... she's the last remaining great of #TheTrioBornInTheSummerOf1958.
+holamoco Janet n Stevie wonder, n mariah r left
Of course the Queen of Pop had to make a speech about the King of Pop. Long live both of their legacies.
she makes me cry :(( her speech's so touch
This is a perfect speech. Take a note people.
I never liked Madonna very much but this speech is soooooo beautiful. I so wish Michael and she had a chance to do a duet.
She did get to one with Prince that I like. It's called "Love Song".
+Pash ThaDance Yes but no one cares about Prince
+Ephraim Nana Antwi I care about Prince and he is a part of the renewal and reawakening of music and the industry in the 80's. Prince was trying to bring awareness and espousing slavery and the lack of ownership of a artist master tapes from Warner Brothers Records almost a decade before MJ began to expose Sony on the very same grievance. It's only because Prince changed his style of music that you don't see the scope of his popularity anymore. I'm pretty sure that he prefers a smaller fan base with freedom of creativity to being made a slave to the rhythm. Prince in many respects a musical genius in his own right.
+Pash ThaDance Prince is a genius but look how much controversy thus guy caused always singing about Sex , Vulgar, Masturbation etc.
+Pash ThaDance I know that they each respected each other's talent. They seemed to have good clean rivalry. Probably Mikes only real gripe was Prince trying to date Latoya. Hee - hee!
No one else could have done it better than Madonna
Because she is the queen
yass!!!
Mj gone, prince gone. Madonna left. Remember guys in the 80's they were selling millions and millions. Legends
that gave me chills. It was amazing. I actually like madonna now
+Destiny Sulfridge She is really an incredible human being. She gives so much money to charities all under the table. She is very honest and very intelligent. If you ever get a chance, go see her in concert or watch some of her tours. She is one of the last ones left from that pop era.
It shouldn't really take a speech to make you like Madonna, I'm seeing a lot of these ' I like madonna after this ' and I'm sat here thinking Why? She's always been so unique and one step ahead of everyone else, Her music was great and she always stood up for what she believed in that alone makes her a great person, Just saying
Jordan 87 it's not that she's bad, she's just not my cup of tea. I don't like her politics or her music that much. You shouldn't care really, obliviously somebody loves her since she has the title of queen of pop.
PERFECT... She said it all... POWERFUL, POWERFUL, POWERFUL speech.
I got here after Billboard speech. Madonna speaks up and speaks out. It seems that, besides being the Queen of Pop, the great muse of music, she is also a Queen of Speeches. Queen and King.
Magnificent speech, Madonna!! 👍🏼👍🏼😼
This speech literally gave me goosebumps
I've been dancing to his music since i was 11 and I'm still doing it now at 17. I love michael and will try to carry on his magnificent legacy till the day i die. I love you michael, i miss you.
I have been dancing to his music since I was 4 with Thriller. 34 years ago that was, and I still dance to his music (though age is sneeking into my knees a bit) But when I am working at work, or on my game at home....when I need some inspiration, I bring out the Jackson. (Love Janet more though lol)
It amazes me some that Michael still pulls in new fans every single year. I am grateful I was able to grow up in the right generation, and see it all.
I think on the bad speaking in the early 90's when they dated, that was almost 25 years ago. People change. I think she has grief for Michael, and that is why she came to these pointed statements. I think also she brought to everyones face that they HAD abandoned him. That she HAD abandoned him. It can be a very devistating feeling that you feel you turned away from someone, and now they are gone. Did you have something to do with that by turning my back on him. At least that is how I feel this was meant.
What a tribute! LONG LIVE THE KING!!
While she called out other celebrities and herself, it has to be pointed out that Madonna always defended him when everyone hated on him. She told him to change styles once, but aside from that, always has stood up for him when very few other people did.
i cried so bad :'( i swear, this woman is so intelligent! LONG LIVE THE KING AND LONG LIVE THE QUEEN ♥ ♥
This was beautiful thank you Madonna
Still one of the best speeches I've ever heard in my life. Bucket of tears, I mean bucket! Thank you Queen of Pop, long live the king!
Say what you will, she has not turned against MJ, even if he didn't think much of her and they didn't have a long lasting friendship... Thank you, Madonna!
It’s a shame because I actually think he did respect her and liked her a great deal in the beginning. He probably felt that she had betrayed his trust by ridiculing him in the media when things didn’t go the way she wanted it to. In the rabbi tapes, he sounded more disappointed than anything to be honest. Maybe a bit bitter too.
Her voice when she speak is better than some peoples when they sing thinking that they are vocalists
Amazing speech, I loved the story about their 'date!! long live the king!
MJ's version of their date was a lot different, but I think it had a lot to do with his own awkward insecurity about dating. Nevertheless, wouldn't it have been something special if those two would've gotten together either professionally or romantically? Who knows, they might have even had a baby. I'm sure it would've been a beautiful child. Lourdes is gorgeous and the boys are handsome.
Wow. “But sometimes we have to lose things to learn to appreciate them.” In connection with what she said earlier that you get obsessed with what you lacked.
Wise. What a storyteller
what a lovely speeech from Madonna, her words made me cry, and she was right that everyone has abondened him when he needed them the most in his life. I miss you Michael. Not a day passes by without me thinking about you and your music. I love you forever. Long live the King!!!!
Madonna always does the right thing. God Save The Queen 👑 Long Live The King ♔!!!! 👍👏👌😘😍😉🙌
Haven’t listened to much of Madonna’s music but I have so much newfound respect for her. Such an honest and genuine speech.
Phoenix Down me to, i remember Beyonce, Usher and more celebrities saying : My friend Micheal Jackson this and that, but no one say, i had abandooned him
I actually liked her speech. ..despite their dislike for each other and comments they threw at some point.
This speech is as good as her legendary songs, albums, music videos, live performances. I watch this again and again.
....... this made me cry so much, but this, was, perfect. The perfect tribute ever.
Long live the king.
Speech from your heart Madonna so much respect.
I have always believed that Michael Jackson was too talented for his own good. And too nice and decent of a person. Such people are always targets of the jealous and envious and there will always be those who try to bring them down. So sad but true.
LONG LIVE THE KING!
ATHINAMJJ yes michael jackson is long live king
BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE by the only legitimate superstar
Don't compliment her by dismissing others.
I didn't know I was going to cry!!! But Madonna you are so damn real! Long live the king!❤️🌷
She is a GOOD speaker !!! and also you can see that what she said was from her heart..
Only a QUEEN could talk about a KING this way...So touching, from buttom of her heart
The Queen paying tribute to the King.
She made the most beautiful tribute to Mickael,i was exited to tears! I love u Mike i've always believed in you.❤
ONLY the QUEEN could give this tribute to the KING ! PERIOD. ❤️🙏💪🙌
Love that fact that Madonna spoke from the heart. I loved this speech i remember seeing this years ago and actually came looking for it again. It was honest and down to earth.
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING SPEECH I HAVE EVER HEARD
For this speech I will always respect you Madonna no matter what your past was or what people say I respect those who respect Michael jackson and you are one of them. I don't care about your and MJ's rivalry but from here I understood you always have a soft corner for him and you understood him and respect him. I salute you for this Madonna. God bless you.
You've been deceived.
Madonna is eloquently spoken and always delivers a winning speech.
No one could've said it better. 😫😫😫
What a truly amazing speech.
I remember She said She had been crazy in love with him. MJ Is the king .
He got so much love by people around the world in his prime .
I'm crying. I miss him so much. My little Michael, he light up my life
I love Madonna, MJ, and Prince!
Madonna and Michael, two legends.
Nobody could have done a better speech about "The King of Pop" than "The Queen of Pop". This speech is still legendary so many years after Madonna made her speech and that says a lot (in my opinion) not only about Madonna but more importantly about the legendary Michael Jackson. :)
I was so touch with her speech and deep inside me said she tells d truth about michael,i love madonna but i never xpect that shes brave enough to tell this in d intire world..for the king it should be the queen who will honor him..
The best speech I’ve ever heard about him
MJ and Madonna are the legends in the world
The best speech about michael ever....😘
