Michael Jackson Accepts Nonexistent Award At MTV Ceremony.

For those fortunately enough to skip this
year’s musical version of the prom, the winners were predictable but a
few surprises did occur during the broadcast. Most notably, Michael Jackson
giving an acceptance speech for the “Artist of the Millennium” award. The
only problem is MTV does not have that award.
The confusion occurred when Britney Spears
brought Michael Jackson out on stage to give him a trophy and cake to celebrate
his birthday. When Spears introduced the self-proclaimed “King of Pop”,
she mentioned that he was her “artist of the millennium”. Jackson misunderstood,
believing he was receiving the “Artist of the Millennium Award” and give
an acceptance speech where he said in part, "When I was a little boy in
Indiana, if someone had told me that one day I would be, as a musician,
getting the Artist of the Millennium Award, I wouldn't believe it."
Looks like you don't have to worry about that Michael as you didn't get
the award!
Jackson had recently been the focus of
headlines when he gave a speech where he accused the music industry of
being racists. Apparently, Jackson felt the failure of his latest studio
album to be a major hit was due to the racist conspiring against him at
his record company.
