It`s no wonder he did not last long on the earth as it is today. He was to pure and to close to real love and compassion. These are things that truly give us inner peace and the only things we need to all get along beautifully and blissfully. The government and the corporate big shots are scared by this type of being because it completely relinquishes the need for consumerism We love you MJ
God picked a difficult road for you to travel here on earth Michael but you are a strong person and you traveled that road not only with respect and kindness for all but you left this world with so much love in your heart. And you shared that love with the whole world. I too struggle the same issues and it is easy to feel pain, anger, and resentment. But you never did. I want to thank your mother, Michael, for having such a wonderful and talented son and sharing that son with the world. I feel such privilege to have had Michael here in my lifetime. What a wonderful gift to all who knew him. There has never been anyone on this earth like him. Thank you Michael for everything. We all love you.
Fully agree with your comment. Beautiful words !! Unforgettable touching speech of Michael Jackson. He opened his heart with that speech. The world must honour him .
Michael Jackson is such a strong man. I want to thank him because he did so much in order to change the world. Thank you for leading us to the right way, we will follow you after, so that we together change the world and heal the world. Love you Michael!
I just think that he could have done a little more to change himself than the world. It is easy to say awesome words in speeches. Real life is something else. Michael never really let go of his past on the contrary. He was stuck and never accepted imperfection and that is why he never accepted himself.
I agree, i think he had difficulty forgiving and its totally understandable @@sol2937 he sacrificed himself for the Michael Jackson and that is not easy
Each time I isten to this speech it maes me feel so proud of having followed him in life... such a wise man... Today I'm pregnant, I just learnt it last week, I'm so happy, it's like a dream! and I can tell you that my baby will know about this wise man, my baby will learn the importance of love...and I'll do my best so he/she'll have a beautiful childhood with mum and dad... I want to thank Michael Jackson for these wonderful words that one day my baby will listen to too... thank you so much
I found God and Jesus through Michael's music and I've already forgiven my family and friends from the past because holding grudges isn't healthy for anybody. Me and my mother still have some issues, but I've learned how to get along with her better and everyday I learn how to love them better. It's just when it comes to trying to hug them or tell them I love them face to face that's the hardest thing to do because I wasn't used to that kind of stuff in my childhood.
Michael Jackson is the most outstanding keynote speaker I have had the privilege to hear. I truly admire and learned a great deal from his well written speech. The message was remarkable and certainly unforgettable. Thank you, Michael!
Why did I never hear this speech, until I read part of it today in Schmuley's book about Michael and heard the whole lecture here on youtube? Why has this never been broadcasted on every single tv channel, or at least on the main channels, and radio stations around the World? So that most of us can hear this message and do something with it.
Eva Cremers Agreed. Why wasn't this speech in the media everyday! I just finished listening to American Family Radio. And Focus On The Family featured Pastor Josh McDowell and he mentioned this in his sermon. I am so thankful to have heard this thru Pastor McDowell and now MJ. God bless MJ and I hope he's smiling :)
t ladd - I know, a positive message, and Michael gave the speech. You know how the press is, they don't like to say good things! I said this to to Eva.
this honest intelligent heart felt speech should be broadcasted everywhere. everyone should be given the possibility to listen to it. not just the fans, but everybody. If only people would follow his words. His teaching. Such a great human being. Immense. Michael what can I say, other than Thank You.
Thank you a 1000 times for this...that's what the world must remember of Michael Jackson. He was a wise man, a very good good man who tried his best and I really think he is a modern Hero and we must remember why we are here! To LOVE. It's all about LOVE. Thank You Michael for touching my life and I'm honoured to have lived in the presence of you're lifetime, to see you on stage 2 times! You wake me up every day a little bit more and I'm learning from you're words and actions!
He is such an extraordinary human being who continuously give love in spite of all the pain he got from media and press who ridicule him again and again he never give up loving and forgiving because he knew that is his God given mission to be the instrument of love but we should also realised that he is a human being and as a human he is not exempted not feel his in-despair soul he has suffered a lot and God grant him the peace and love he ever deserve. RIP Mike I know your happy now at last!
... I forgave my mom and understood "she didn´t know better", I forgave my father for not being an emotional dad, I forgave my siblings for their hurtful words and mostly, I forgave myself, for being an "affair baby". I did not chose my life and now, I wouldn´t change it, because it´s part of who I am. My dad died 5 years ago. The night before he died, at 3 in the morning, he told me how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. Love does heal. Now, my mom, my siblings and ...
i cried...i simply cried.. beaufiful.. from the bottom of his heart..he forgave his father despite it was his father who took Mike's childhood away.. all of us sould take an example from him.. Michael is a sensitive person..never forget about him...pls.. God bless you!..
I love michael so much,this entire speech really makes me see the world in a different way, honestly I wish I could've met him before he died but I was born in 1999 so I had a little amount of chance of that even happening anyways, but I really miss michael so much
most beautiful speech i have ever heard! michael is my idol and the man i'm trying to be like. he has encouraged me to be a better person, and i feel i have changed the way i look at the world and treat others.. it makes me and the people around me happier - and it has so much more worth to me than money, cars and material things. this speech will leave me thinkin and reflecting for a while... important words!
Michael, if only you knew how many lives you have touched with this speech. Even though I'm crying right now, I can see how hard you tried to have people consider this. People will see this and so many lives will change because of you. I love you Michael!
I would love to interview some of the students there at that occasion.. I want to know what effect they gained from this wonderful encounter ... Thank you Michael Jackson and all who helped to bring this to us, the wider world... I have never seen my father... don't know of that side of my family... It is not the best way to grow.. but for some knowing their real parents, could be the death of them... We have to find LOVE in our own hearts and LIVE
I love you most Michael... May the gap in our hearts left by you trascending our physical realm be filled w a continuous search to find and re-discover your work left 2 humanity & this planet in so many disciplines, so that it may be an on going legacy, It is time for you to take a step back & be an angel in the ethereal realm, and for us to push forward your efforts in this world that never really deserved you. Sleep sweetly in the light dear beautiful boy God called his angel home
That was the most beautiful speech I've ever heard. I couldn't stop crying. I actually understand him as a person now. It's a shame they don't show this on tv, all the media ever spoke about was his skin color and what hes done to his face god forbid they should ever show anything with him being normal. R.I.P.
Michael Jackson is a gentle giant that truly gets what is really important. Unconditional parental love having an impact on what kind of adult that child will become. Without this unconditional parental love our world is destined to have pyschopathic individuals creating an environment of violence where there isn't peace, joy, nor security.
I wish there was SOME way to get this speech broadcasted around the world. I just feel in my heart that if EVERYBODY listened to it then they will see things in a different light, if only a little bit. Michael was truly a God-send, whom not alot of people took notice of. I ABSOLUTLY have no doubt in my mind that Michael desirves the Nobel Prize, but I also think, even though he wasn't of Catholic origin, that the Vatican should SERIOUSLY consider cannonizing him as well.
this is just out of this world. What a speech!!! How brilliant are you Micheal? I'm mesmerised by the depth of this love, respect and generosity towards humanity. What beautiful soul. May you have all the peace and paradise you deserve!!! Amen. LOVE YOU ALWAYS, TRULY, MADLY AND DEEPLY.
I love this speech and can listen to it over and over again. It rings so true to me, despite having been blessed with a happy childhood. I wish a lot more people who also hear this beautiful, poignant and touching speech. I will e-mail every influential talk show host I know to plead with them to broadcast this speech somehow somewhere. The world needs to hear this speech, which is so eloquent, funny and sad at the same time.
We lost such an incredible, sensitive, caring human being when MJ passed on but think about what the world has gained from having him here. His music, his heart and words have given the world not only happiness and peace but love.
such a motivational speech... michael was very much a genius himself. in my heart, he in the same level as God. "In a world filled with distrust, we must still learn to believe..."
..I have a great relationship. It´s not perfect, we still fight, but I know they love me, I love my mom, care for her and show her everyday how greatful I am. After all, she´s the only mother I´ve known. I have my own kids right now and not a single day passes by without me telling them "I love you with crazyness and passion" @ most random hours. I´m all serious talking about chores and duties and then "Oh, and I love you with crazyness and passion" They make faces but deep down, they love it!!!
Many say Michael will live forever because his music will live forever, but that is selling him short. Michael's spirit and soul will live forever because he WAS love. To be a person of his stature and to still retain innocence, kindness and forgiveness in his heart, is unheard of. Forgive, see the good in people, love, and "everything in between can be dealt with." If we want to do something for Michael, it's to change ourselves for the better. The rest will follow.
I just can`t stop cry...I will allways keep this speech in my mind and my heart, and I`ll try to raise my children knowing this...is like I will try to continue his work here on this world. If everyone of us will do that, then his mission will be complete, he created a better world. And I just can`t stop being mad at the press,,,why in the world no one show this?!?they promote all the BS but this no?!someone dind`t like this kind of messages,...people should know and hear this message!
I cried listening to this beautiful speech. I just can't believe the beauty of this man's soul. I am in awe. Michael, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you gave to this world. You have enriched my life with so much joy, strength & wisdom. I will be forever hertbroken that you left us too early, but I will continue to smile even though my heart is breaking. You made the world a better place & you've inspired me like no one else. THANK YOU, I love you and I miss you. R.I.P.
I think that his children have been given a wonderful present with this speach as is exposes the very essence of his love for them- not that I suspect they ever doubted for a second his love for them- God bless you and happy birthday Michael- I wish I had paid more attention to this side of you- by far even more awesome than your vast works of mesmerising performances.
wow, if only the media would focus on things like this. Once again I am marveled at the depth of this man with his simple love for children. I am touched all over again. thanks for sharing this precious video
And thank you, thank you for posting this speech in full!!! It made me cry and warmed my heart. Michael gave us his all, in every, every thing he did. He was (still is, I should say) a treasure of this world. I feel so blessed to have been given his amazing, beautiful and fun music & dancing, and witness his generous heart. Though I never met him in life, we all will one day. "In that land where there is no more separation... and where we will never lose you again."
Michael's speech leaves me... speechless. Words can barely express the love I have for this gentle and caring man, willing to 'go public' with his desire to forgive his father. What an awesome message for parents and children. Indeed fungina72, this speech gives me the shivers, chills, butterflies.
this brings tears to my eyes.. i actually cried at the first part.. he's such an amazing person.. he's so strong and i would like to say thank you michael for sharing this with us.. for always trying to make the world a better place, no matter what happens you keep going! i love you to the bottom of my heart may you rest in peace with that knowing that the world REALLY did love you, we really did i would like to say well said elisodrakulia he was so much more than just songs and scandals!
His speech takes my breath away, what a beautiful, caring, sensitive soul, I cant express how much I love him, I cant cope with this loss, it feels so personel to me. How come this speech was never broadcast,people need to hear the real Michael, the press and media prefer to concentrate on the lies and money spinning stories, they perecuted him.. How much love did this man have to give, such a warm, funny, intelligent, forgivng, son, brother, father and friend with a heart as big as the world x
If Michael wasn't a singer or dancer, he would make the most lovely and brilliant teacher. He would be famous for being the most loved teacher in the world (you know every school has a favorite teacher), and he would never have a teacher's pet.
Ever so lucid, it is humbling... He didnt need to waste time w academics. His msg came from God, his entertainment talents, a mere excuse God gave him so that us, petty humans, would pay attention to his humanitarianism. After so much physical metamorphosis I always Michael's sweetness and mesmerizing allure as a halo, not as a face, eventhough I always loved his many styles. That, it is God shining through him...
This brought me to tears. You are so wise Michael. You had so many reasons to be biter and yet you were filled with so much love. And you gave it to so many. I love you Michael.
Michael Jackson is absolutely blessed. God bless and keep his soul close to his side in heaven forever. I and we love you forever Michael. You have touched many life with your teachings and healing. Thank you world king, rest on perfectly in peace forever.
THEY WILL NEVER EVER BRING HIM DOWN! THEY WILL NEVER EVER TAKE AWAY HIS SMILE, HIS PRIDE AND HIS INTEGRITY! The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe. And I kneel before this Man's Magnificence! MICHAEL YOU ARE FOREVER!
Thank you so much for uploading!! a beautiful speech... myself can relate to this speech too. thank you Michael, i love you. God bless Michael and all the people who love him.
Shortly after I was born my bio mother died and my father and his wife brought me home. i was beaten by my step mom every day and my father was an absent dad. I grew up feeling unworthy and unloved. When I reached 17, after few attempts of suicide and many strugles, I realized that I wasn´t in my hands to change people around me, but I chose to change myself. I was a reclusive, difficult teen. And I FORGAVE us all. I forgave my bio mom for "diying when I needed her", ...
U are loved and i bet you are a great human being. Start to give your self the unconditional love that u needed from your parents. U can do it... hoping u can have someone who is by ur side for some support.
Oh my God, What an incredible speech... this man, was a wise man... a genious, I can't belive that maybe one of the reall last remarcable people of our time has gone... and all we know about him is only the man who was a pop icon when he was so much more than just songs or scandals
That was so amazing. So beautiful, so personal and so, so inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to type out his inspirational words and putting it up here for us all to read and to learn from. Michael Jackson, I love you too.
This speech should be taught to the juniors and seniors at schools, really. And at the parenting classes for those who are planning a child as well. So profound and thoughtful, sincere and heart moving it is.. true wisdom of life in the words of a fragile, but strong man. This makes my heart happy, that I've discovered not only the genius of him as a perforner, but also the genius of a thinker and a spectacular orator. The man that really did care.
I can so relate to this speech. When he started crying, it made me cry. Because I went through the same thing. My parents had childhoods they didn't like either. My father always complained about his father not showing him love. My mother grew up in a dysfunctional family. My father was always a very quiet person and stayed in his room a lot. My parent's didn't know how to say I love you or hug me and my siblings. I'm 29 years old now and don't even know how to hug them or say those 3 words.
what an incredible, loving, articulate, and passionate man. this is the side of MJ that the world scarcely recognizes. he was never a monster and such a gentle human being. rip mj. i love you!
Thank you begodsglow for posting our beloved Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson's 2001 Oxford Speech. It was such an honor and joy for me to hear beloved Michael's words. "“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Mahatma Gandhi - I am so proud of Michael. He knew that unforgiveness is like posion and chose to move forward in forgiving his father. Michael was overflowing with wisdom that others can learn from. Beloved Michael truly is a genuine masterpiece of God!
Michael, thank you for your message! I also had trouble with my parents and have resented them into my middle age. I was thinking about them today while walking and felt it was unfair to me that I didn't have understanding parents. I asked God to show me the way to deal with the pain. When I came home, I recalled someone mentioned MJ's Oxford speech and I tuned it in.. I think the video was the answer for me. I'm going to forgive my parents. They did what they could do for me.
wow that was SO incredibly touching! Wow. In part three when he started cry while speaking of his father, i broke down. It's amazing to me that after all he had gone through in his life he was still able to look at life and the world with so much love in his heart for everyone, even his father. Musical talent aside, THAT is what makes him amazing. This speech is something ill never forget. And when i have children ill always remember his words. Its a shame we lost such an incredible person. RIP
Thank you for posting this speech from Michael. I wish the Media would report this message of Michael for the benifit of our society instead of reporting all the misleading message about him. Michael, you are truly a great man and I really wish you were still here to spread the message of hope, love and forgive in our cruel world. Happy 51 Birthday RIP
*Lectures like MJs show us the path we must take to make the World a better place.So instead of getting more depressed and more immune to all the negative news that haunts us everyday,we must look for inspiring people and lectures in order to fight our inner pain and all the misery and injustice in this World.But some people have to be woken up,because they just seem to be indifferent to all of this.So tv and radio people, why dont you stop brainwashing us and start deliberating us by *
speechless--what a amazing speech! He´s not only talking about healing the world he´s still intended in doing everything he could.This bow is for you, michael.Thank you!
...this is exactly what i wanted to hear from MJ... i've always knew he had these words in his heart... and i know now, why i've always been more than a fan... we shared histories, ideals, dreams and tears... like these ones, streaming down my face... thank you for posting this... thank you Michael for your life, your love and your humanity... thank you for your simple words that coming from you, become a tender truth... thank you for enlight my childhood in dark times with your music and dance.
This is such a beautiful speech, i couldnt help crying, it touched my heart. I just can't believe this beautiful man is no longer with us :'( This is the kind of the thing that needs to be aired on TV. This is the Michael the world should have seen. I was completely unaware of this speech until recently. This is the MJ that i love and his legacy will not just be his music, it will also be his LOVE. thats what he was about and this message is one that the world should hear. Michael I love you
Beautiful Michael, you wanted to make the world better for all of us, especially the children. This speech made me reflect on my own heart and childhood. I have a parent I am struggling to forgive. If you can do this, I can do it. In the end, you understood your father and forgave him. What strength you had. I know your children will remember you for the love you gave them. You even protected them from fame by not having their faces shown. They could go out with other adults and be anonymous.
thank you so much for uploading and sharing it...it was a beautiful speech mj was so important to this world and we need to listen to him and change ourselves...i miss him sooo much and i'll love him forever
Congratulations amparoj! So glad you are going to share Michael's music and wisdom with your child. I think it was what Michael wanted more than anything - to share the gift of his music and to be sure all children are loved.
To forgive is the strongest LOVE-tool there is. When you forgive you basically say:"I know that you did what you thought was best. If I was in your shoes I probably have done the same. What you did hurt me but since I've discoverd that love can heal anything I stop blaming you and look at myself instead." To forgive is freeing oneself and the other. Lord knows I had to forgive some many people that it seemed like an impossible task. But I did and still do. Love is ALWAYS the answer.
MJ put into words what this world truly needs...amazing that despite his childhood (of which many other people have experienced) MJ was able to get some perspective and to forgive his Dad - this has inspired me in my own struggles with my childhood and my parents...a beautiful speech - the world can learn a thing or 2 from MJ and his beautiful words...may he be at peace knowing that his music and his words here - will heal the world...
Thank you so much for posting.Every human being of our planet should hear this speech.Can be then we will learn to forgive and love each other irrespective of a place of residing, appearance, a prosperity, colour of a skin. Can be then our world it becomes valid better. And Michael has really deserved the world Nobel Prize.
Michael is such an inspiration. not only he is beyond talented and spread the word of loveee by helping others in need, but he stayed strong through out all the heartaches and despair. i can only imagine what this wonderful man had to go through, being doubted by many others when all you have given is love and affection. Michael gives me hope in life :) when i go through anguish i just remember to 'keep the faith' :D (great song! check it out) KING OF POP
u kinda made me cry with this... (sigh) i love m.j so much... we can never really forget him nor get used to his passing,,, but he left us with amazing music, impeccable performances and this beautiful speech to remember him by. he never failed us all. he is always perfect and i'll pray that he's in a much better place now... because that, more than anything is what he deserves. hugs to the Gloved One... you will never ever be forgotten... NEVER FORGET!
My dear Michael you make me happy when I saw your show's I love you for that. the And make me cry by your words and your pain I love you more & l love you most I love you forever Michael Jackson
omg...this speech moved me so much! he is an incredible speaker and a true humanitarian. is there video footage of this speech anywhere?? absolutely beautiful. the haters just dont know what they're missing. i feel sorry for them. "it's all for love, L.O.V.E!" :o)
I swear,every new thing I learn about this man,I love him more and I didn't even think that to be possible....I knew he was gifted,intelligent,smart and one of the most loving people ever but it is true,noone wants to hear about the good things,that doesn't sell...he said that himself and it is a shame because this world should have been exposed to this speech...it should have been news all over this country. If I had known this man on a personal level,I would have been hopelessly in love.
i love him even before as a person and will remember him as a person rather than a personality-as he said"i wanted to be remembered as a person not as a personality." and his speech was all about LOVE,loving life,everything must start with the family,of how will us become someday.
Great Speach!! Thank you so much for sharing. He is a great man with pure heart and he cares all the other people. All the people who think he is a freak and disgrace him for so long should listen to this. He is the man who want to heal the world with his music. I do believe he did change the world through his touching music. R.I.P. Michael!! We love you.
Michael you taught me many things with this. you made me realize what i have to do when it comes to my own father and i couldnt have done it without you. Thank you Michael!
I m sure he would have been proud of you forgiving your dad too. Thats what he always wanted, now we must continue in what he started - making this world better place by bettering ourselves first. He truly became my guru, whenever I get angry or upset I just stop and think: Michael wouldnt want me to be upset, and I always try to understand the other person and then forgive. Michael will always, always have a special place in my heart.

This isn't a speech, it's a masterpiece..... :,)
So true
This heartful speech should be transmitted worldwide as a tribute to Michael Jackson
" THE LAST INNOCENT"
God bless you Michael forever in our heart.
Absolutely I feel humbled listening to this a great reflection to each of our lives while we share the precious planet earth together.
It`s no wonder he did not last long on the earth as it is today. He was to pure and to close to real love and compassion. These are things that truly give us inner peace and the only things we need to all get along beautifully and blissfully.
The government and the corporate big shots are scared by this type of being because it completely relinquishes the need for consumerism
We love you MJ
Legend live on even in his death
God picked a difficult road for you to travel here on earth Michael but you are a strong person and you traveled that road not only with respect and kindness for all but you left this world with so much love in your heart. And you shared that love with the whole world. I too struggle the same issues and it is easy to feel pain, anger, and resentment. But you never did. I want to thank your mother, Michael, for having such a wonderful and talented son and sharing that son with the world. I feel such privilege to have had Michael here in my lifetime. What a wonderful gift to all who knew him. There has never been anyone on this earth like him. Thank you Michael for everything. We all love you.
He had hardships but I still think of him as a person with a lot of privilege.
Fully agree with your comment. Beautiful words !!
Unforgettable touching speech of Michael Jackson. He opened his heart with that speech. The world must honour him
.
Michael Jackson is such a strong man. I want to thank him because he did so much in order to change the world. Thank you for leading us to the right way, we will follow you after, so that we together change the world and heal the world. Love you Michael!
Thank you Michael from the bottom of my / our heart as you often said to your loving fans.
I just think that he could have done a little more to change himself than the world. It is easy to say awesome words in speeches. Real life is something else. Michael never really let go of his past on the contrary. He was stuck and never accepted imperfection and that is why he never accepted himself.
I agree, i think he had difficulty forgiving and its totally understandable @@sol2937 he sacrificed himself for the Michael Jackson and that is not easy
Michael is bigger than life. He lived and learned with love.
Michael and love walks side by side. He is the true representation of what Love is.
Each time I isten to this speech it maes me feel so proud of having followed him in life... such a wise man... Today I'm pregnant, I just learnt it last week, I'm so happy, it's like a dream! and I can tell you that my baby will know about this wise man, my baby will learn the importance of love...and I'll do my best so he/she'll have a beautiful childhood with mum and dad...
I want to thank Michael Jackson for these wonderful words that one day my baby will listen to too...
thank you so much
You probably don’t remember making this comment but how’s your child? I assume he or she must be around 13 years old now.
Hi darling, how are you doing today
I found God and Jesus through Michael's music and I've already forgiven my family and friends from the past because holding grudges isn't healthy for anybody. Me and my mother still have some issues, but I've learned how to get along with her better and everyday I learn how to love them better. It's just when it comes to trying to hug them or tell them I love them face to face that's the hardest thing to do because I wasn't used to that kind of stuff in my childhood.
Michael Jackson is the most outstanding keynote speaker I have had the privilege to hear. I truly admire and learned a great deal from his well written speech. The message was remarkable and certainly unforgettable. Thank you, Michael!
How could this world be so cruel to such a beautiful human being like Michael Jackson ?
I love you forever
We got it gifts are for those who know how to value true gifts. God bless.
Why did I never hear this speech, until I read part of it today in Schmuley's book about Michael and heard the whole lecture here on youtube? Why has this never been broadcasted on every single tv channel, or at least on the main channels, and radio stations around the World? So that most of us can hear this message and do something with it.
Eva Cremers - yes, but remember that Rabbi Schmuley claimed that he wrote this speech. Michael was smart, he could have written it also.
Eva Cremers Agreed. Why wasn't this speech in the media everyday! I just finished listening to American Family Radio. And Focus On The Family featured Pastor Josh McDowell and he mentioned this in his sermon. I am so thankful to have heard this thru Pastor McDowell and now MJ. God bless MJ and I hope he's smiling :)
t ladd - I know, a positive message, and Michael gave the speech. You know how the press is, they don't like to say good things! I said this to to Eva.
:)
'cause the good news, the positive things for them doesn't sell.
this honest intelligent heart felt speech should be broadcasted everywhere.
everyone should be given the possibility to listen to it. not just the fans, but everybody.
If only people would follow his words. His teaching. Such a great human being. Immense.
Michael what can I say, other than Thank You.
Thank you a 1000 times for this...that's what the world must remember of Michael Jackson. He was a wise man, a very good good man who tried his best and I really think he is a modern Hero and we must remember why we are here! To LOVE. It's all about LOVE. Thank You Michael for touching my life and I'm honoured to have lived in the presence of you're lifetime, to see you on stage 2 times! You wake me up every day a little bit more and I'm learning from you're words and actions!
❤
He is such an extraordinary human being who continuously give love in spite of all the pain he got from media and press who ridicule him again and again he never give up loving and forgiving because he knew that is his God given mission to be the instrument of love but we should also realised that he is a human being and as a human he is not exempted not feel his in-despair soul he has suffered a lot and God grant him the peace and love he ever deserve. RIP Mike I know your happy now at last!
... I forgave my mom and understood "she didn´t know better", I forgave my father for not being an emotional dad, I forgave my siblings for their hurtful words and mostly, I forgave myself, for being an "affair baby". I did not chose my life and now, I wouldn´t change it, because it´s part of who I am. My dad died 5 years ago. The night before he died, at 3 in the morning, he told me how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. Love does heal. Now, my mom, my siblings and ...
i cried...i simply cried..
beaufiful.. from the bottom of his heart..he forgave his father despite it was his father who took Mike's childhood away..
all of us sould take an example from him.. Michael is a sensitive person..never forget about him...pls..
God bless you!..
What a great speech and what great human being misjudged and misunderstood by many people. He was too good to be in this cruel world..
This is gold !
I love michael so much,this entire speech really makes me see the world in a different way, honestly I wish I could've met him before he died but I was born in 1999 so I had a little amount of chance of that even happening anyways, but I really miss michael so much
When I die, I would like to meet two people, Jesus Christ and Michael Jackson.
Me too
I have often said this as well....much love and respect for Michael
Same.
I am speechless. All I can say is this man was the purest and strongest soul ever that had and will walk this earth. And I love him so much.
most beautiful speech i have ever heard!
michael is my idol and the man i'm trying to be like. he has encouraged me to be a better person, and i feel i have changed the way i look at the world and treat others.. it makes me and the people around me happier - and it has so much more worth to me than money, cars and material things.
this speech will leave me thinkin and reflecting for a while... important words!
MJ gives the most beautiful speeches ever.
Beautifull man. Just amazing. The whole balance in the world changed when this man died. He was too good for the industry.
Michael, if only you knew how many lives you have touched with this speech. Even though I'm crying right now, I can see how hard you tried to have people consider this. People will see this and so many lives will change because of you. I love you Michael!
I would love to interview some of the students there at that occasion.. I want to know what effect they gained from this wonderful encounter ... Thank you Michael Jackson and all who helped to bring this to us, the wider world... I have never seen my father... don't know of that side of my family... It is not the best way to grow.. but for some knowing their real parents, could be the death of them... We have to find LOVE in our own hearts and LIVE
Extraordinary! Thank goodness there are moments, such as these, that instill his Truth in a landscape of dishonoring disgust.
I love you most Michael...
May the gap in our hearts left by you trascending our physical realm be filled w a continuous search to find and re-discover your work left 2 humanity & this planet in so many disciplines, so that it may be an on going legacy,
It is time for you to take a step back & be an angel in the ethereal realm, and for us to push forward your efforts in this world that never really deserved you.
Sleep sweetly in the light dear beautiful boy
God called his angel home
That was the most beautiful speech I've ever heard. I couldn't stop crying. I actually understand him as a person now. It's a shame they don't show this on tv, all the media ever spoke about was his skin color and what hes done to his face god forbid they should ever show anything with him being normal. R.I.P.
❤
only a purest holy beautiful hearted person can think and tell that deep.. 💖💖💖👑👑👑👑
I'm crying now so inspiring why did he leave us so soon I love you michael :'( !!!
Michael Jackson is a gentle giant that truly gets what is really important. Unconditional parental love having an impact on what kind of adult that child will become. Without this unconditional parental love our world is destined to have pyschopathic individuals creating an environment of violence where there isn't peace, joy, nor security.
that was fantastic, I love his philosophy, This has given me much to think about, thank you for uploading. keep spreading the love. RIP MJ.
It's so sad how so many people ended up treating this good-hearted, misunderstood soul. R.I.P. Michael!
I wish there was SOME way to get this speech broadcasted around the world. I just feel in my heart that if EVERYBODY listened to it then they will see things in a different light, if only a little bit.
Michael was truly a God-send, whom not alot of people took notice of. I ABSOLUTLY have no doubt in my mind that Michael desirves the Nobel Prize, but I also think, even though he wasn't of Catholic origin, that the Vatican should SERIOUSLY consider cannonizing him as well.
this is just out of this world. What a speech!!! How brilliant are you Micheal? I'm mesmerised by the depth of this love, respect and generosity towards humanity. What beautiful soul. May you have all the peace and paradise you deserve!!! Amen.
LOVE YOU ALWAYS, TRULY, MADLY AND DEEPLY.
I love this speech and can listen to it over and over again. It rings so true to me, despite having been blessed with a happy childhood. I wish a lot more people who also hear this beautiful, poignant and touching speech. I will e-mail every influential talk show host I know to plead with them to broadcast this speech somehow somewhere.
The world needs to hear this speech, which is so eloquent, funny and sad at the same time.
God bless you
Whenever he smiled, I smiled; whenever he cried, I cried. I wish I could see this speech. Is it possible?
We lost such an incredible, sensitive, caring human being when MJ passed on but think about what the world has gained from having him here. His music, his heart and words have given the world not only happiness and peace but love.
such a motivational speech... michael was very much a genius himself. in my heart, he in the same level as God. "In a world filled with distrust, we must still learn to believe..."
We love you so strong, Michael ! 🥺❤️ all my love be with you !
..I have a great relationship. It´s not perfect, we still fight, but I know they love me, I love my mom, care for her and show her everyday how greatful I am. After all, she´s the only mother I´ve known. I have my own kids right now and not a single day passes by without me telling them "I love you with crazyness and passion" @ most random hours. I´m all serious talking about chores and duties and then "Oh, and I love you with crazyness and passion" They make faces but deep down, they love it!!!
Your comment is so beautiful. I totally agree with every word you wrote.
We deeply love you too, Michael. Always.
Many say Michael will live forever because his music will live forever, but that is selling him short.
Michael's spirit and soul will live forever because he WAS love. To be a person of his stature and to still retain innocence, kindness and forgiveness in his heart, is unheard of. Forgive, see the good in people, love, and "everything in between can be dealt with."
If we want to do something for Michael, it's to change ourselves for the better. The rest will follow.
❤
I just can`t stop cry...I will allways keep this speech in my mind and my heart, and I`ll try to raise my children knowing this...is like I will try to continue his work here on this world. If everyone of us will do that, then his mission will be complete, he created a better world.
And I just can`t stop being mad at the press,,,why in the world no one show this?!?they promote all the BS but this no?!someone dind`t like this kind of messages,...people should know and hear this message!
I cried listening to this beautiful speech. I just can't believe the beauty of this man's soul. I am in awe. Michael, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you gave to this world. You have enriched my life with so much joy, strength & wisdom. I will be forever hertbroken that you left us too early, but I will continue to smile even though my heart is breaking. You made the world a better place & you've inspired me like no one else. THANK YOU, I love you and I miss you. R.I.P.
I think that his children have been given a wonderful present with this speach as is exposes the very essence of his love for them- not that I suspect they ever doubted for a second his love for them- God bless you and happy birthday Michael- I wish I had paid more attention to this side of you- by far even more awesome than your vast works of mesmerising performances.
wow, if only the media would focus on things like this. Once again I am marveled at the depth of this man with his simple love for children. I am touched all over again. thanks for sharing this precious video
And thank you, thank you for posting this speech in full!!! It made me cry and warmed my heart.
Michael gave us his all, in every, every thing he did. He was (still is, I should say) a treasure of this world. I feel so blessed to have been given his amazing, beautiful and fun music & dancing, and witness his generous heart. Though I never met him in life, we all will one day. "In that land where there is no more separation...
and where we will never lose you again."
Michael's speech leaves me... speechless. Words can barely express the love I have for this gentle and caring man, willing to 'go public' with his desire to forgive his father. What an awesome message for parents and children. Indeed fungina72, this speech gives me the shivers, chills, butterflies.
just....astounding...this is what michael jackson was put on the earth for...just amazing...i will always carry this message with me
this brings tears to my eyes.. i actually cried at the first part.. he's such an amazing person.. he's so strong and i would like to say thank you michael for sharing this with us.. for always trying to make the world a better place, no matter what happens you keep going!
i love you to the bottom of my heart
may you rest in peace with that knowing that the world REALLY did love you, we really did
i would like to say well said elisodrakulia he was so much more than just songs and scandals!
His speech takes my breath away, what a beautiful, caring, sensitive soul, I cant express how much I love him, I cant cope with this loss, it feels so personel to me. How come this speech was never broadcast,people need to hear the real Michael, the press and media prefer to concentrate on the lies and money spinning stories, they perecuted him.. How much love did this man have to give, such a warm, funny, intelligent, forgivng, son, brother, father and friend with a heart as big as the world x
If Michael wasn't a singer or dancer, he would make the most lovely and brilliant teacher. He would be famous for being the most loved teacher in the world (you know every school has a favorite teacher), and he would never have a teacher's pet.
A speech who gives us such a sweet loving carrying most of heart touching 👑🗽🌻
Ever so lucid, it is humbling...
He didnt need to waste time w academics. His msg came from God, his entertainment talents, a mere excuse God gave him so that us, petty humans, would pay attention to his humanitarianism.
After so much physical metamorphosis I always Michael's sweetness and mesmerizing allure as a halo, not as a face, eventhough I always loved his many styles. That, it is God shining through him...
This brought me to tears. You are so wise Michael. You had so many reasons to be biter and yet you were filled with so much love. And you gave it to so many. I love you Michael.
Michael Jackson is absolutely blessed. God bless and keep his soul close to his side in heaven forever. I and we love you forever Michael. You have touched many life with your teachings and healing. Thank you world king, rest on perfectly in peace forever.
he is a BEAUTIFUL SPEAKER!
you feel the emotions behind his words!
God bless you michael!
THEY WILL NEVER EVER BRING HIM DOWN!
THEY WILL NEVER EVER TAKE AWAY HIS SMILE, HIS PRIDE AND HIS INTEGRITY!
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
And I kneel before this Man's Magnificence!
MICHAEL YOU ARE FOREVER!
Beautiful ❤
This are the things that media doesn't show. Such a shame what people did to this man who only wanted to help. What he's saying is very factual.
Thank you so much for uploading!! a beautiful speech... myself can relate to this speech too. thank you Michael, i love you. God bless Michael and all the people who love him.
I am completely full of tears and speechless as well.
What a beautiful man.
I love him so much.
May he rest in peace.
Shortly after I was born my bio mother died and my father and his wife brought me home. i was beaten by my step mom every day and my father was an absent dad. I grew up feeling unworthy and unloved. When I reached 17, after few attempts of suicide and many strugles, I realized that I wasn´t in my hands to change people around me, but I chose to change myself. I was a reclusive, difficult teen. And I FORGAVE us all. I forgave my bio mom for "diying when I needed her", ...
U are loved and i bet you are a great human being. Start to give your self the unconditional love that u needed from your parents. U can do it... hoping u can have someone who is by ur side for some support.
Oh my God, What an incredible speech... this man, was a wise man... a genious, I can't belive that maybe one of the reall last remarcable people of our time has gone... and all we know about him is only the man who was a pop icon when he was so much more than just songs or scandals
That was so amazing. So beautiful, so personal and so, so inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to type out his inspirational words and putting it up here for us all to read and to learn from. Michael Jackson, I love you too.
we should be grateful we experienced such a big spark
I hope his children can hear this, what a great human being! Totally respect him ! I hope his dreams will come true!
This speech should be taught to the juniors and seniors at schools, really. And at the parenting classes for those who are planning a child as well. So profound and thoughtful, sincere and heart moving it is.. true wisdom of life in the words of a fragile, but strong man. This makes my heart happy, that I've discovered not only the genius of him as a perforner, but also the genius of a thinker and a spectacular orator. The man that really did care.
I can so relate to this speech. When he started crying, it made me cry. Because I went through the same thing. My parents had childhoods they didn't like either. My father always complained about his father not showing him love. My mother grew up in a dysfunctional family. My father was always a very quiet person and stayed in his room a lot. My parent's didn't know how to say I love you or hug me and my siblings. I'm 29 years old now and don't even know how to hug them or say those 3 words.
what an incredible, loving, articulate, and passionate man. this is the side of MJ that the world scarcely recognizes. he was never a monster and such a gentle human being. rip mj. i love you!
W O W
I certainly heard every word you said, and took them inside my heart. Thank you.
Thank you begodsglow for posting our beloved Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson's 2001 Oxford Speech. It was such an honor and joy for me to hear beloved Michael's words. "“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Mahatma Gandhi - I am so proud of Michael. He knew that unforgiveness is like posion and chose to move forward in forgiving his father. Michael was overflowing with wisdom that others can learn from. Beloved Michael truly is a genuine masterpiece of God!
I want to marry his heart. I'm so sad he's gone:(
grande michael!!!♡
Michael, thank you for your message! I also had trouble with my parents and have resented them into my middle age. I was thinking about them today while walking and felt it was unfair to me that I didn't have understanding parents. I asked God to show me the way to deal with the pain. When I came home, I recalled someone mentioned MJ's Oxford speech and I tuned it in.. I think the video was the answer for me.
I'm going to forgive my parents. They did what they could do for me.
wow that was SO incredibly touching! Wow. In part three when he started cry while speaking of his father, i broke down. It's amazing to me that after all he had gone through in his life he was still able to look at life and the world with so much love in his heart for everyone, even his father. Musical talent aside, THAT is what makes him amazing. This speech is something ill never forget. And when i have children ill always remember his words. Its a shame we lost such an incredible person. RIP
Thank you for posting this speech from Michael. I wish the Media would report this message of Michael for the benifit of our society instead of reporting all the misleading message about him. Michael, you are truly a great man and I really wish you were still here to spread the message of hope, love and forgive in our cruel world. Happy 51 Birthday RIP
Thank you for uploaded this speech. Michael Jackson, you are a wonderful man. I love you so much.
*Lectures like MJs show us the path we must take to make the World a better place.So instead of getting more depressed and more immune to all the negative news that haunts us everyday,we must look for inspiring people and lectures in order to fight our inner pain and all the misery and injustice in this World.But some people have to be woken up,because they just seem to be indifferent to all of this.So tv and radio people, why dont you stop brainwashing us and start deliberating us by *
speechless--what a amazing speech! He´s not only talking about healing the world he´s still intended in doing everything he could.This bow is for you, michael.Thank you!
...this is exactly what i wanted to hear from MJ... i've always knew he had these words in his heart... and i know now, why i've always been more than a fan... we shared histories, ideals, dreams and tears... like these ones, streaming down my face... thank you for posting this... thank you Michael for your life, your love and your humanity... thank you for your simple words that coming from you, become a tender truth... thank you for enlight my childhood in dark times with your music and dance.
This is such a beautiful speech, i couldnt help crying, it touched my heart. I just can't believe this beautiful man is no longer with us :'(
This is the kind of the thing that needs to be aired on TV. This is the Michael the world should have seen. I was completely unaware of this speech until recently. This is the MJ that i love and his legacy will not just be his music, it will also be his LOVE. thats what he was about and this message is one that the world should hear.
Michael I love you
Beautiful Michael, you wanted to make the world better for all of us, especially the children. This speech made me reflect on my own heart and childhood. I have a parent I am struggling to forgive. If you can do this, I can do it. In the end, you understood your father and forgave him. What strength you had. I know your children will remember you for the love you gave them. You even protected them from fame by not having their faces shown. They could go out with other adults and be anonymous.
thank you so much for uploading and sharing it...it was a beautiful speech mj was so important to this world and we need to listen to him and change ourselves...i miss him sooo much and i'll love him forever
Congratulations amparoj! So glad you are going to share Michael's music and wisdom with your child. I think it was what Michael wanted more than anything - to share the gift of his music and to be sure all children are loved.
To forgive is the strongest LOVE-tool there is. When you forgive you basically say:"I know that you did what you thought was best. If I was in your shoes I probably have done the same. What you did hurt me but since I've discoverd that love can heal anything I stop blaming you and look at myself instead."
To forgive is freeing oneself and the other. Lord knows I had to forgive some many people that it seemed like an impossible task. But I did and still do.
Love is ALWAYS the answer.
MJ put into words what this world truly needs...amazing that despite his childhood (of which many other people have experienced) MJ was able to get some perspective and to forgive his Dad - this has inspired me in my own struggles with my childhood and my parents...a beautiful speech - the world can learn a thing or 2 from MJ and his beautiful words...may he be at peace knowing that his music and his words here - will heal the world...
Thank you so much for posting.Every human being of our planet should hear this speech.Can be then we will learn to forgive and love each other irrespective of a place of residing, appearance, a prosperity, colour of a skin. Can be then our world it becomes valid better. And Michael has really deserved the world Nobel Prize.
Michael is such an inspiration. not only he is beyond talented and spread the word of loveee by helping others in need, but he stayed strong through out all the heartaches and despair. i can only imagine what this wonderful man had to go through, being doubted by many others when all you have given is love and affection. Michael gives me hope in life :) when i go through anguish i just remember to 'keep the faith' :D (great song! check it out) KING OF POP
u kinda made me cry with this... (sigh) i love m.j so much... we can never really forget him nor get used to his passing,,, but he left us with amazing music, impeccable performances and this beautiful speech to remember him by. he never failed us all. he is always perfect and i'll pray that he's in a much better place now... because that, more than anything is what he deserves. hugs to the Gloved One... you will never ever be forgotten... NEVER FORGET!
My dear Michael you make me happy when I saw your show's I love you for that. the
And make me cry by your words and your pain
I love you more & l love you most
I love you forever Michael Jackson
omg...this speech moved me so much! he is an incredible speaker and a true humanitarian. is there video footage of this speech anywhere?? absolutely beautiful. the haters just dont know what they're missing. i feel sorry for them.
"it's all for love, L.O.V.E!" :o)
I swear,every new thing I learn about this man,I love him more and I didn't even think that to be possible....I knew he was gifted,intelligent,smart and one of the most loving people ever but it is true,noone wants to hear about the good things,that doesn't sell...he said that himself and it is a shame because this world should have been exposed to this speech...it should have been news all over this country. If I had known this man on a personal level,I would have been hopelessly in love.
i love him even before as a person and will remember him as a person rather than a personality-as he said"i wanted to be remembered as a person not as a personality." and his speech was all about LOVE,loving life,everything must start with the family,of how will us become someday.
wonderful thank you for posting this. MJ will always have a place in our hearts x
Great Speach!! Thank you so much for sharing. He is a great man with pure heart and he cares all the other people. All the people who think he is a freak and disgrace him for so long should listen to this. He is the man who want to heal the world with his music. I do believe he did change the world through his touching music.
R.I.P. Michael!! We love you.
Michael you taught me many things with this. you made me realize what i have to do when it comes to my own father and i couldnt have done it without you. Thank you Michael!
I m sure he would have been proud of you forgiving your dad too. Thats what he always wanted, now we must continue in what he started - making this world better place by bettering ourselves first. He truly became my guru, whenever I get angry or upset I just stop and think: Michael wouldnt want me to be upset, and I always try to understand the other person and then forgive. Michael will always, always have a special place in my heart.
