I love Michael's passion and compassion.I can feel it so strongly.He more than anyone knew the basic human importance and significance of LOVE.Total,unconditional love.Not money,power,fame or any of that.This is why he was never just an entertainer.No one else speaks like this.Unconditional love is the most significant thing for human survival and meaning,for the will to go on living.Without it NOTHING makes any sense and we could not even be called "humans" but robots
It's very sad to me how this is the part that's voted UP less and it is the MOST significant. Michael says some very important hard truths here...Modern parents neglect their children more and more and the results are obvious.Young people have become cold,unemotional and disconnected from feeling,abusing towards themselves or others.Why don't people care about that? All they care about is some superficial, stupid crap on tv. Turn off the tv and listen to what Michael says here.This is important!
Awww!!! Thanks for putting this up again!! I really appreciate it:-))) It's a real beautiful speech by Christ Michael indeed!! I just wanted to say that name 'cause it has a nice ring to it:-)))
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!
@htw4mj I see how you can say that!! I believe he's the embodiment of the Archangel Michael!!! He's that and ChristMichael!!! I'll alternate between calling him King Michael and ChristMichael. I'm a believer in him!!! I totally believe he's the Archangel Michael and he should be called ChristMichael after reading "An Angel Among Us: We called him Michael Jackson" by Ms. Elizabeth. I don't recall her last name. There's so much proof about Michael's sainthood in the book!!!!!! I was in awe!!!!!!!!
@htw4mj Also, I'd call him Saint Michael too!!! I'm taking notes from his speech now about the Children's Universal Bill of Rights so I could apply it to my own home!!!
@milkinmychocolate First, sorry for the late reply. Just wanted to tell you I think that's an AMAZING idea .. to apply the Childrens' Universal Bill of Rights to your own home. Good luck with it, and you know what ...I think I will do the same! Michael was doing an amazing job raising his children.
(Al-E-Imran) Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. (31)
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...

Thank you!
do anybody have this speech copy (full version of part1~4) as i wanted to holding / reading it anywhere i go, (its really hard for me to handcopy by the video. big thank you.
To all who buy Shmuley's claim that he wrote this (of course he only claims this after MJ's death - how predictable): how could he have written this, with full of references to stories from MJ's life when he seemed to know hardly anything about Michael (if you read his book you'll know what I mean)? Michael was very well-read and intelligent (contrary to what the media wants you to believe). He was totally capable of writing this.
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?
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.
this speech is one of the greatest speeches I've heard,better than any president or prime minister have ever done.and lol when MJ said"every child should have the right to be called adorable even if they have a face that only a mother could love" funny and inspirational..good combo and this is coming from me,a 12 yr old:)
This speech makes me really question Michael's "death." he obviously cared greatly for kids, especially his own. Why would he hurt them by taking drugs and overdosing on them? His kids loved him and needed him and he knew that. It's just not something he would do. And I know that his doctor is getting all the blame but I'm sure mj had some control or knowledge over the drugs he was taking. This kind of stuff really makes me wonder...
@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
@dazv555 Did Michael outsmart Sony? Well, he's not here anymore. I love Michael, but not to the point of being naive. This speech is nothing to write. To me it is no where near better than Dr. Martin Luther King's speech. Michael quoted statistics and did'nt cite them, which you are supposed to do when giving an informative speech. I think he was hypocritical and not sincere. I don't like the way he discussed the U.S.(which is where he and I are from) to. an U.K. audience.
@dazv555 Hi, I just wanted to also say that Sony will never make the amount of money without Michael, that they could have made with him. And that eventhough I said earlier that Michael's speech was not sincere, I do think that it was.
Wow! I loved his music and his modesty, but now I love MJ for his speech. He speaks the truth. I always thought I was a spoiled brat because I had all this stuff though my parents and I can't communicate well. I cry but then I feel stupid because there's way worse out there. My parents cry too. We never talk it out. There's a boundary that can never be broken. My generation has always felt different too. Just look at the music. From MJ to Bieber! Style, depth, fun to SEX, mediocracy, SEX.
No, it's written by Michael Jackson. Only he could write those beautiful words. Schmuley just tried to find his 5 min. of fame. Those stories of MJ's feeling, dreams, desire, those rights of children could be only from Michael.
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 :)
@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
Everything he is saying is so true, he was on target and very profound. Heal the kids should take off like wildfire all over the world and it would truly make a difference, He just wanted so badly to give back!
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.
<3 <3 <3 I believe in unconditional love. And no 7 :-) cute !
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?
@begodsglow There is a video of this, I saw him giving this whole speech a while ago on youtube. I saved it in my favorites, but I forgot what I named it. But it is out there.
@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 ♥
@begodsglow Maybe you're right. Maybe it was a news clip I saw of this. The only parts I remember clearly is him talking about apologizing to his father and about the donuts and when his father picked him up and put him on a Merry-Go-Round ride. If it was a news clip that I saw, it was an awful long one. He had on a black blazer. Did he give this same speech at other places? Alot of my saved videos have been deleted by Sony.
it was just well said...how amazing..Michael was a true genius...with a beautiful soul, gifted human being...the best in all aspects...Thank you Michael, I hope you are happy wherever you are now...I will never forget..Love your more
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.
Brett Ratner Said "Michael isnt immpossible to heal the Whole World" MJs response would be if we All put 1 hand in we can Make a Change and a Difference in his Sobbing Tears! MJ is by far the MOST BEST person that has walked this Planet!
This Speech is SO Sad & Very Beautiful! MJ cared SO Much about the World & trying to Cure children with All his Love! i Love how he gave the Thriller Jacket to the boy who died cause its shows MJ wasnt Selfish at All! MJ could of Kept it for memories Instead he chose to do the right thing! MJ is My Hero!
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.
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!
for anyone who knows about how dedicated mike is to his work,they ll for sure know that mike is e perfectionist n wouldnt jus go out n read something that anyone gives him.giving speech is an art,n mike might have taken help from a few ppl to help him make a speech that could convey what he truely felt..whts wrong in that??wont we take our friend's opinion n help if ever we got a chance to speak in oxford??jealousy just seems to kill ppl to give any credit ti mike!!
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
Michael was an old soul and lived before... he will come back to us. You can tell by what he is saying... even if he didn't write the speech, he feels and believes what he is saying.
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...
I was already in tears. This made it a "..waterfall". Michael is gone and I can only hope for him and the world, ..that we continue with "his endeavor". That is what MJ would want. That is what truly needs to be done. Don't forget. Please. :)
It takes a lot of courage to speak about someone`s experience..all my doubts about him are now gone after listening to him.I felt and saw the SINCERITY and all the concern and love he poured out in this speech. May he rest in Peace.
The part that he said "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" made me cry. Michael, you were and are still loved very very much...
I thought I loved him enough but after listening to this, I love him even more now. Why did the media never publicise stuff like this huh? RIP Michael xx
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.
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.
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!
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!!!
It made me cry. Michael was absolutely right . If you knowing you are loved, you could deal with any difficulty...but Michael's gone, I just can't take it!
Michael was sincere when he said he loved children and he wants to heal the world by helping the children. That\s why he\s so much loved all over the world because he does not hesitate to say i love you or i love you more; he never hesitate to hug a fan and to wave and blow kisses and stop to sign autographs. He made his world tour concerts because he wanted to initiate his Heal the World Foundation in those countries he visited.
The thing he did with the jacket is such a great tactic BECAUSE sometimes its your choice on if you want to fight for your life or just give up. Telling this kid that he needed to fight for 3 months to see Michael Jackson could have saved his life but unfortunately it didnt. He had no choice.
The fact that MJ giving this speech had such a low profile in the press (I imagine few of us knew about this before stumbling upon it just now), is a really clear lesson in how the press have absolutely no interest in what a celebrity like MJ has to SAY, on his own terms (ie: any interest in who he actually is). That would be a boring story! How weird, that news networks can be so obsessed with someone, and so profoundly disinterested in him at the same time.
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.
You are soooooooooooooo right! They spent so much time making this man a monster. I want to cry just hearig this. This man was so much more; and for all the love he gave via his music and philanthropy, he deserves so much more.
Well, artists always had been initiators for creative processes and new ideas. Companies still copy ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, even for the technical market segment.
Read about the life of Schiller: he almost died of starvation.
At the moment the artist realizes his own effectiveness ...
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 :(
" 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).
I have never heard this before! Thanks for posting. I agree with everything Michael said. I do not have children but I am constantly amazed how un-childlike and cynical some kids are today (in the UK) compared to when I grew up. They are exposed to so many harmful and adult things at a young age but everyone seems so relaxed about it. At least Michael took notice and encouraged others to do the same. Why didn't people focus on this rather than the plastic surgery, finances etc.
Thank you for posting this video with the speech written out for us. I feel Michael. Kids in America are just not kids anymore. They are more like little adults or wanna-be adults. Does anyone know what happend with the Heal the Kids Initiative?
it died a natural birth.i read somewhere, that this rabbi bilked mj out of the money. huge amounts unaccounted for. he actually was included in mj's "hate list" coz i don't know what word to use..maybe blacklisted. and he came out with a book and tapes out of confidential conversations w/ mj done during his therapy sessions. money really is the root of all evil. and because mj has the money, he's magnet to all these opportunists.
Michael Jackson was so intelligent and intellectual...And this was suppose to be some one who was a child molester?? I THINK NOT!! The media and the press and the government made those lies up! They have been after Michael Jackson for the longest! they wanted to get all up in Never Land because they could not believe a black man could create something so beautiful so they tried to turn it into something bad!! Although we miss Michael He is in a better place and at least he does not have to hurt
Michael could make anyone shedtears. Hes so amazing. I cried throughout many parts. I wish I could have met with him once and talked to him. All of my family have tried to have an intervention with me because of past things, I can't seem to talk to them at all. But I know now, if MJ were to talk to me, I would be as open as a book.
The american media wont put it out cos the are jealous of Michael Jackson. Jealous that a black man owned the Beatles catologue, and even more mad cos he wouldnt join the masonary that all entertainers in this country join, to be accepted into their club or else they will tear you down come what may. The Masonary where they worship the DEVIL. Though am sad he is dead, am glad he is in a better place
It sounds like he really wanted a bedtime story to me! I appreciate everything he did, and realize MJ did help a lot of people. Some of it was a little silly, no?
I can tell from this part of the speech that, even though Michael had plenty of fans, friends, and family members who loved him dearly, he still longed for some more love, which the stupid media never really wanted to give to him (how cruel!) .
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?
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!

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 :)

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?

@begodsglow There is a video of this, I saw him giving this whole speech a while ago on youtube. I saved it in my favorites, but I forgot what I named it. But it is out there.
rocknroll773 10 months ago
@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 ♥
begodsglow 10 months ago
@begodsglow Maybe you're right. Maybe it was a news clip I saw of this. The only parts I remember clearly is him talking about apologizing to his father and about the donuts and when his father picked him up and put him on a Merry-Go-Round ride. If it was a news clip that I saw, it was an awful long one. He had on a black blazer. Did he give this same speech at other places? Alot of my saved videos have been deleted by Sony.

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.

This Speech is SO Sad & Very Beautiful! MJ cared SO Much about the World & trying to Cure children with All his Love! i Love how he gave the Thriller Jacket to the boy who died cause its shows MJ wasnt Selfish at All! MJ could of Kept it for memories Instead he chose to do the right thing! MJ is My Hero!
davidnashley1985 2 years ago 2
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.
lawdmecaantekit 2 years ago 4
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!

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...

Michael was sincere when he said he loved children and he wants to heal the world by helping the children. That\s why he\s so much loved all over the world because he does not hesitate to say i love you or i love you more; he never hesitate to hug a fan and to wave and blow kisses and stop to sign autographs. He made his world tour concerts because he wanted to initiate his Heal the World Foundation in those countries he visited.

The thing he did with the jacket is such a great tactic BECAUSE sometimes its your choice on if you want to fight for your life or just give up. Telling this kid that he needed to fight for 3 months to see Michael Jackson could have saved his life but unfortunately it didnt. He had no choice.
I love Michael Jackson for that.

IF Michael was preaching hate, the news would have broadcasted it.
If Michael was promoting sex and violence, the news would have reported it.
They would have bombarded the airwaves with it.
But because Michael spoke of love and peace, the newsand Michael were at cross purposes.
They needed to silence him, so that their voice could be heard LOUD and CLEAR.
But Michael's message will endure forever -- it is a message that has stood the test of time against its enemies.

The fact that MJ giving this speech had such a low profile in the press (I imagine few of us knew about this before stumbling upon it just now), is a really clear lesson in how the press have absolutely no interest in what a celebrity like MJ has to SAY, on his own terms (ie: any interest in who he actually is). That would be a boring story! How weird, that news networks can be so obsessed with someone, and so profoundly disinterested in him at the same time.

Well, artists always had been initiators for creative processes and new ideas. Companies still copy ideas of Leonardo da Vinci, even for the technical market segment.
Read about the life of Schiller: he almost died of starvation.
At the moment the artist realizes his own effectiveness ...
it ends. Never ending story.

"How could any of them truly prevail in pulling you down? For you know you are an object worthy of love. The rest is just packaging."
I like that quote almost as much as I do the 'enter the world and leave knowing you're loved' one.
Rest peacefully, Michael.

I have never heard this before! Thanks for posting. I agree with everything Michael said. I do not have children but I am constantly amazed how un-childlike and cynical some kids are today (in the UK) compared to when I grew up. They are exposed to so many harmful and adult things at a young age but everyone seems so relaxed about it. At least Michael took notice and encouraged others to do the same. Why didn't people focus on this rather than the plastic surgery, finances etc.

They have been after Michael Jackson for the longest! they wanted to get all up in Never Land because they could not believe a black man could create something so beautiful so they tried to turn it into something bad!! Although we miss Michael He is in a better place and at least he does not have to hurt
