World Music Awards and what really happened!

On Wednesday, October 15, there was a long line in front of the World Music Awards venue. Michael’s fans had gathered there since 12 noon with roses and hearts they had brought for Michael. 90% of the crowd was there for Michael and kept calling his name in the line. The doors to the hall opened at 6 p.m. Unfortunately, this program was one of the most disorganized in the history of the World Music Awards. When people entered, Rihanna was still rehearsing on stage, and all the disorder of the ceremony started right there. The show began at 8 instead of 7, while there was about half an hour between each song. Michael’s fans—who made up almost the entire hall—were impatiently waiting for him. Whenever they got the chance, they slammed their feet on the ground and shouted: “We want Michael! We want Michael!” They kept shouting his name with a chant, and yelling “King of Pop music…” These shouts were so loud that, during the program, the award presenters several times said into the microphone: “So you want Michael, right? He’ll be here soon.” Another host said: “I don’t know you, but I’m really excited about the King of Pop being with us tonight.” The commotion continued until Chris Brown came on stage to perform Thriller. As soon as the crowd heard this song, everyone stood up on their feet and many people ran toward the stage. Nobody sat in their place. Everyone knew they would see Michael soon. Everyone thought that at last Michael would come on stage somewhere in this song—but he didn’t. After the song ended, the fans shouted his name even louder than before. After a few minutes, Beyoncé came on stage. Before calling Michael, she said: “Tonight we’re gathered here to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Thriller. If it weren’t for Michael Jackson, I and many other artists wouldn’t be performing on this program. ” Then she mentioned the sales of the Thriller album, and after that she said that Michael is one of the few artists who has made millions of dollars in humanitarian contributions—and that’s why we call him the King of Pop music. Michael Jackson, I love you. We all love you. I want all of you—if you love Michael—to shout Michael… Michael… Michael.” Beyoncé, with her hands clenched, shouted Michael’s name behind the microphone, and all the fans behind her. After a few seconds, Michael entered the stage and all the fans went wild. As before, everyone cried or stretched their hands toward him. He smiled a little, and then with a strange sparkle in his eyes he said: “I’m really honored to be here tonight at this ceremony. It has always been my wish for Thriller to become the best-selling album of all time. (At this moment, the fans shouted. Michael paused a little, smiled, and continued.) And God answered my prayers. 25 years later, Thriller became the best-selling album of all time with 104 million copies sold. I thank God for this, and you (to his fans) for this success. There were so many people who loved me and stood by me in all these 42 years. Among them, I want to thank my wonderful children for their endless love and support—Paris, Prince, and Blanket. I thank my mother, Katherine (while looking at a point in the crowd), and my father, Joseph Jackson, and all my brothers and sisters. I also love all my fans (everyone started making noise) from the bottom of my heart.” Then the fans started shouting again, and Michael blew kisses to them or put his hand on his heart. After that, Guinness Records presented his award to Michael, and Michael left the stage together with Beyoncé. The fans continued shouting and waiting for him to come back on stage to perform his song—but contrary to their expectations, Rihanna came on stage. And all the fans who wanted to hear Michael’s voice booed her. Unfortunately, later the press portrayed this incident differently and to Michael’s disadvantage, which was truly unfair. Everyone in the crowd that night was there for one person only—the King of Pop music. Everyone appreciated him, and nobody booed him. Finally, after Rihanna left, Lindsay Lohan came on stage as the host and said she was very happy to have the chance, after years, to call the King of Pop to the stage. She then called Michael for the next performance. We Are The World began, and a number of teenagers entered the stage. The crowd couldn’t contain their excitement. In the middle of the song, Michael came on stage and started singing. Unfortunately, toward the end of the song, Michael’s voice was no longer heard. He kept mouthing the lyrics, and fans close to the stage could still hear him singing, but his microphone was off. That’s when he shouted loudly, “I LOVE YOU” and “How are you doing?” Those lines took the fans into the atmosphere of Michael’s concerts—because he always used to shout those lines. When Michael left the hall, everyone immediately rushed toward the exit doors. Fans who realized that the after-party after the ceremony had been canceled due to the police not cooperating with Michael to protect him, went to his hotel. Michael didn’t attend the party prepared by the World Music Awards for the artists after the ceremony because of his children. Fans started shouting his name and congratulating him for the award. In response, he came back behind the window many times, waved at them, and then stuck a pillow with the words “I love you” written on it to the window glass so everyone could see. In the middle of the night, he wrote “I love you” on the hotel curtain and surprised all the fans. That curtain remained there until the last day before Michael left London. Michael also gave pizza to all the fans who had slept in front of the hotel that night. Hotel officials said they had never seen Michael’s love for his fans in anyone else, and that he truly loves everyone. And on Thursday, he showed this love even more… Source: Aida — London
