Justin Bieber Clarifies Michael Jackson Comment At American Music Awards 2010
Last night...
Justin Bieber has clarified comments he made about Michael Jackson at the American Music Awards (AMAs) last night (November 21).
The 16-year-old star, who dominated the event in Los Angeles, referred to the late King Of Pop during his acceptance speech.
"Without Michael Jackson, none of us would be here,” he said, drawing a confused response from the crowd.
When asked afterwards by MTV News what he meant by the statement, Bieber replied: "You know, I said, 'Without Michael we wouldn't have been here’, but we would be here, but music wouldn't be the same.”
He added: "I want to clarify that you'd still be born. Michael's not your dad or anything. You'd still be here. He's not your father."
Bieber won four awards at last night’s ceremony in Los Angeles, including the prize for Artist Of The Year.

As for the clarification, he may have just been caught off guard when asked that, so he just explained that Michael isn't everyone's father. I guess he could have gone into more details in his clarification, but he is only 16, and maybe he was a little nervous. Or maybe he was confused about the need to clarify what he meant since it is obvious that these artists wouldn't be where they are today without Michael revolutionizing pop music.
I don't follow Justin's music, but he seems like a talented young man with a good head on his shoulders. I am happy for him.
I LOVED the comment he made. I agree!!! I think it is very right to say that alot of the singers today wouldnt be here (as in in-music/the industry) if it wasnt for Michael. God people are stupid to not understand he meant that. What is wrong with them?
So funny - at least you tried! I just don't try because I'd have the same problem. I applaud you <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
As for Justin - I understood exactly what he meant last night. I can't believe people were confused. They should have known and agreed - because what he said is true. Blessings.
Just realized there's a double thread.

I know right?!...Michael is EVERYBODY'S daddy!!! LOL
I know right?
Ohh Ohh Ohh .. and I pray
I just cant sleep tonight.
Knowing that things aint right.
Its in the papers, its on the tv, its everywhere that I go.
Children are crying.
Soldiers are dying
Some people don't have a home
But I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Can you tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I lose my appetite, knowing kids starve tonight.
And when I sit up, cause my dinner is still on my plate.
Ooo I got a vision, to make a difference.
And its starting today.
Cause I know there's sunshine behind that rain
I know there's good times behind that pain, hey
Haven`t tell me how I can make a change
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
For the broken-hearted.
I pray for the life not started
I pray for all the ones not breathing.
I pray for all the souls in need.
I pray. Can you give em one today.
I just cant sleep tonight
Can someone tell how to make a change?
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and pray
I close my eyes and I can see a better day
I close my eyes and I pray
I pray ..
I close my eyes and pray ..
Also notice when he thanked Michael he did not look heavenward, but more to a corner of the auditorium.
This song is quintessential Michael. The lyrics, the music, the choir...I wouldn't be surprised if whomever wrote it had a little 'help' or 'inspiration'.
I was also struck by Diddy's (interesting) choice of song in that the lyrics speak about coming home, his kingdom awaiting, being forgiven for past mistakes, etc...
All in all, it was one of the better awards shows of late, IMO.
What was that remark????
