" If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same,then everything that happens in-between can be dealt with" That's my fav quote from Michael cos its so true and just touches my heart Lol its funny whe he says #7 ......The right to be thought of as adorable (even if you have a face that only a mother could love).
Michael Jackson really gave a vivid picture of exactly what is happening with the family bonding moments being replaced with electronic technology being the companion of our children today. I must admit that this is very true because children are on facebook with accounts as early as 5 years old and computer games have done away with board game family nights.
that quote "If you go into the world knowing you are loved and leave this world knowing the same etc" will live on forever. Seriously, that quote of his will be well known for generations to come. That is what life is about.
His speech is so touching and warm that tears just fell out from my eyes. Not only his music but his heart, mind and soul are truly beautiful and loving.
I'm so proud of you Michael - how can we go on without you? But, we must.... and we must carry your message to the rest of the world for future generations!!!
Awww number 7 is soo cutee "The right to be though of as adorable (even if you have a face that only a mother could love)" I am going to show this entire speech to my children Mike is just wonderful beyond words ♥
i'm happy i had my bedtime stories reading by mom, my grandfather, even my uncle. i'm so grateful our family is very close to each other. every time we talk to each other we say i love and really mean it. also my mom,brother and me, always eat together at least one meal, to us is normal is a must do. my brother and i decided not to leave our home after high school. we can't be away from our mom. i don't get why teenagers like me wants to leave home?. i feel loved at home why'd leave?
''Every single hour, three teenagers in the UK inflict harm upons themselfs, often by cutting or burning themselves'' That part was just.. I don't know but it touched me, because I have those problems..
Michael had over 10,000 books in his library. He was an avid reader and seeker of knowledge. Why wouldn't he be able to write his own speech?? One of his favorite essays is by Ralph Waldo Emerson called "Self-Reliance". When I read this complex, intellectual piece of literature, I knew MJ was a rare human being. MJ has changed my life!! I too am a seeker of knowledge now. I too want to heal the world through love and sacrifice.
why the media doesn't show this. only us a few thousand of people have listened to this. everyone in the world should listen to this speech. this speech is like the martin luther king speech if not better. as far as me . i'll do what he's saying. although i don't have any kids i'll more time with my lil cousin, since she has no cousins only me. and when i have my kids hell yeah i'lll spend time with them,play and love them very much.
Thank you begodsglow for posting "Michael Jackson - Oxford Speech 2001 (part 2/4) w/ full text". "That is why I want to forgive my father and to stop judging him. I want to forgive my father, because I want a father, and this is the only one that I've got. I want the weight of my past lifted from my shoulders and I want to be free to step into a new relationship with my father, for the rest of my life, unhindered by the goblins of the past". Michael is an incredible and inspiring teacher!
His speech is very moving. Not only was he gifted in singing and songwriting but gifted with writing period. His poems, speeches, songs are ALL amazing!
I just paused, got a pen and a pad, and wrote down all his 7 children's universal bill of rights For my 3 children. I will always read it and keep in mind
He is so profund. I just think Michael was greater than life. He had this sensibility that few understand and he made sure he made his fans guarded this precious love.
OMg his bill of rights made me cry. If I had those rights as a child my life would be much different. I wouldn't have gone thruogh some of the shit that I did. Michael you weren;t just a singer, a beat boxer, a dancer, an entertainer, a magician or an inventor, you were a philosopher. And people say we are crazy to think he is jesus like? I say it's NOT crazy.
Michael Jackson is so learned and polished. What a sweet speech. God.... Michael is really a genius. All he said is true. He has inspired me and many people. I so love him. Thank you Michael and God bless your soul forever for this good speech. We will never forget you.
Thankyou so much for posting this, especially with it all written out. x I watch a lot of interviews of his but it's often hard to make out what he's saying due to bad sound quality. I think they all should have subtitles Such a caring,genuine speech..speeches usually put me to sleep but this was amazing, just listen to him for 5 minutes and you know this guy is totaly innocent. We'v lost such an amazing man,he truly cared about us all.. and a lot of people just through it back in his face :(
Thks this speech was well written n said .in public..its realy bring out a strong mesages to e world..tht an yone with strong capability n status in wealth or fames, etc can remind e world tht ones must be generous , helpful, undrstanding, caring, etc towards anyone regardless of races, cultures,natonalitys,status all walks of life is to shows some kindness, n some humanity towards anyone . Espe this era.......ppl can be so cruel n selfish dues to influences of e wotld changing rapidly
great words from a great man, thank you Michael. and thank you Jermain Jackson, if it wasn't for your book, i would have never found this speech. thank you, i love you all
Real Truth is so powerful. The Human Being & spirit is so complex and beautiful. We have the power to empower ourselves with the choices we make. I had no Father but I had one Mother and the love my Mother gave was like having ten Mothers. Love that has seen me through as an adult when Society snubs and ridicules me. It's so true that you go back to your childhood haven to reload, energise and tool up! Makes you wish that LOVE was the most powerful emotion on the planet. Maybe one day...
Oh god, I am crying so much. I can relate to what he's saying.. He was so right. THIS is why he cared for kids so much, not because of some attraction to them, but because he sympathized with them. Can't everyone see that?
I guess that Michael and all of us need to learn to give love to ourselves even if we are not perfect. He never gave love to himself. He never accepted himself as he was. The change had to start with the man in the mirror. Being stuck in the past and in his childhood would never heal him and give him a more balanced life. It is a shame that he didn't understand that he couldn't feel the love from his loved ones if he didn't think of himself as someone worthy of love.
@begodsglow "If you don't have that memory of being loved, you are condemned to search the world for something to fill you up. But no matter how much money you make or how famous you become, you will still feel empty." ---MJ
This video was uploaded under my old account. My account got deleted (wow, thanks), so I'm having to start all over. Hope I can find all my friends here again... or you find me. And please leave your wonderful comments again!
I realize I'm the first person in my family to have a childhood. My mother father grandparents all talked about working in the fields. Jim Crow living in fear. My mother started babysitting and changing diapers at 6years old she has knots in her hands from washing and wringing out clothes these are her first memories I'm also the first to graduate high-school because they didn't get a chance to go to school they had to work. My mother can read my father a little and my grandparents were illiterate. I'm 40 years old😢
I read the speech in the book that Rabbi Schmuley wrote about Michael...(The Michael Jackson Tapes) I believe the Rabbi assisted Michael in some sections of the speech...but it was largely MJ's ideas and thoughts..The press were so intent on portraying him in negative terms, that they never picked up on this remarkable event. I also wish there were a video of him ..giving the speech...It was so moving and insightful. His own childhood (or lack of it) prompted so much of MJ's work...
Now that you are gone its up to us the living to take on the fight you began because these are facts and Its true the world needs healing in many aspects!
As far as I know, no video exists. I read before that no recording devices are (or were?) allowed in Oxford Union. (Obviously, though, someone at least got a tape recorder in ;) Wouldn't it be amazing to have a video?
I hope ABS-CBN mangier here in the Philippines is watch and listen to this speech. Just listen what he said to Michael Jackson including his speech and do not think about Thalia
To see just a bit of video footage of MJ at Oxford (not the speech, though), just look for "Michael Jackson hält Rede in der Oxford". It's clips from German news back in 2001, but you can see just enough to get an idea of what it looked like :)
I have one thing that fills that space. my dog loves me unconditonally. even if I fall in poop I come in the door and its like woah man you smell great! In my own way, however god shall plan it I will continue this message! If not only with my own children
@rocknroll773 Are you sure you're not mistaking it for Exeter, Carnegie or otherwise? Hmmm. I've never seen any footage of Oxford except for short news clips. I'd think if a vid existed it would be all over because we'd all want to see that for certain. (Oh the times I've wished for a video of this.) Well, keeping fingers crossed that something will turn up someday ♥
I know what you mean. That's why I have lost all faith in the news media and cringe whenever I see a tablod at the super market. They just don't understand that stuff like this actually sells more than lies; cuz stuff like this is not only interesting but powerful at the same time.
Somebody probably did write his speech but Michael also obviously had a hand in it too. I don't think anyone told Michael Jackson what he could and couldn't say. Politicians get their speeches written for them all the time and nobody says anything about it!

@MJJKingofPop4ever me too. sometimes i wonder was killed over his shared with sony. did he outsmart them? there's so unanswered questions. i know someday the truth will prevail
oh come on, if he was equipped with the gift of writing music, stories, poetry, why then wouldn't be able to contruct this speech. If you listen to this speech, he is relating to the audience about aspect of his very life, aspirations, desires and being "the victim of a selfish kind of love". No one could express this but himself.
@Kostyasch- yes, I have heard that, too, The Rabbi claims he wrote the speech for Michael in his book. They mentioned in it the MJ vibe magazine I have - issue 17. Michael called his father and told him he loved him. Also told him about the speech he was about to make.
Ps.as e world of this millennium is changing rapidly From bad to worses..with wealth status,.advanced technologys in medical , sciences., arms, efc, n ppl getting more educated in this era - tend to forgets what is sharings caring....etc n one's Loves must begin st Homes n in one childhood
Michael's speech is like poetry, its so beautiful, every word he speaks.
Gosh. His love for others, even strangers, is so genuine-you can hear it in his voice. You could see it in his eyes and his actions.
MJ is so well-spoken - so true...so honest...I could listen to him forever...
" If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same,then everything that happens in-between can be dealt with"
That's my fav quote from Michael cos its so true and just touches my heart
Lol its funny whe he says #7 ......The right to be thought of as adorable (even if you have a face that only a mother could love).
Anyone else crying..... :,(
I always cry when I see him after we lost him.. But this made me weep oceans
Who’s cutting onions?? 😭
Michael Jackson really gave a vivid picture of exactly what is happening with the family bonding moments being replaced with electronic technology being the companion of our children today. I must admit that this is very true because children are on facebook with accounts as early as 5 years old and computer games have done away with board game family nights.
that quote "If you go into the world knowing you are loved and leave this world knowing the same etc" will live on forever. Seriously, that quote of his will be well known for generations to come. That is what life is about.
I love this speech. I could listen to it all day long...He is so right.
mike, if you was here with me now, i would give you a long hug and tell you just how much i do love you.
His speech is so touching and warm that tears just fell out from my eyes. Not only his music but his heart, mind and soul are truly beautiful and loving.
Poor Michael, he deserved a good childhood. Everyone deserves a good childhood. God bless his spirit!
I'm so proud of you Michael - how can we go on without you? But, we must.... and we must carry your message to the rest of the world for future generations!!!
Awww number 7 is soo cutee "The right to be though of as adorable (even if you have a face that only a mother could love)"
I am going to show this entire speech to my children Mike is just wonderful beyond words ♥

I just paused, got a pen and a pad, and wrote down all his 7 children's universal bill of rights
For my 3 children. I will always read it and keep in mind
Heal the Kids ended after one year as Michael returned to his life in music.
he is an intelligent man an angel a messenger of God! I love him more
He is so profund. I just think Michael was greater than life. He had this sensibility that few understand and he made sure he made his fans guarded this precious love.
OMg his bill of rights made me cry. If I had those rights as a child my life would be much different. I wouldn't have gone thruogh some of the shit that I did.

Thankyou so much for posting this, especially with it all written out. x
I watch a lot of interviews of his but it's often hard to make out what he's saying due to bad sound quality. I think they all should have subtitles
Such a caring,genuine speech..speeches usually put me to sleep but this was amazing, just listen to him for 5 minutes and you know this guy is totaly innocent.
