MICHAEL JACKSON for Artist Of The Millennium

Target:

VAN TOFFLER -President of MTV or JASON RZEPKA - V.P. of P ublic A ffairs.

Sponsored by:

During an MTV Video Music Award ceremony on August 29, 2002, which also happened to be Michael's birthday, Brittany Spears introduced Michael as the artist of the millennium, to present him with a birthday cake. Michael was under the impression that he was receiving an Artist of the Millennium award from MTV. It is unclear to fans around the world when MTV decided that this award, that was earlier mentioned on their own website ceased to exist. I believe its time for MTV to do what is right and produce such an award for Michael's contribution to the music industry. An award that should have been given to him in 2000, not only for his inspirational lyrics and amazing video productions, but also for making MTV what it is today. For those who are not aware of Michael's lifelong humanitarian efforts, below is a list of charities and links to some of those charities he supported. R.I.P. Till We Meet, Michael. We love you more!

I believe Michael Jackson desirves to be the artist of the millennium, because now, after more than a decade, his record still stands and might never be surpassed. His Thriller is the best selling album of all times. My mother was born the year he was, I was born the year of Thriller and I am so sorry that my future children did not get the chance to see him live. But I'm gonna make sure they appreciate him at least half as much as I do.

Il n'y a rien a dire Michael Jackson à révolutionné la musique et tous ce qui va avec (clip, concert, etc...). Il a toujours donné pour les défavorisés. Il mérite qu'enfin on reconnaisse son génie, afin de faire taire enfin tous les tabloids.

I am absolutely proud of supporting this petition, cause not matter if you like Michael or not, he has been globally recognized as the artist with the major impact in pop culture through his innovative dancing and music that reached millions people of all ages and races througout the world, and none should forget that he also is in the REecord Guiness book as the #1 charity supporter artist. HE always gave the example with love and compassion for everyone in need, specially the children. There will be no such a great human being like MJ, for me and surely for all those who love him, HE REALLY DESERVES THIS AWARD thank you!
