#facebookparapensar Speech given by Michael Jackson in 2002. Anyway, I first wanted to say, I really dont like to talk that much. I really dont. I prefer performing than talking. I really want you to know what I say. The tradition of great performers: from Sammy Davis Junior, James Brown, to Jackie Wilson, to Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly. The story is usually the same though. These guys worked really hard, and theyre crabbed, for the story ends the same. They are usually broken, torn and usually just sad, because the companies take advantage of them, they really do. And being the artist that I am, at Sony Ive generated several billion dollars for Sony, several billon. They really thought that my mind is always on music and dancing. It usually is, but they never thought that this performer - myself - would out think them. So, we cant let them get away with what theyre trying to do, because now Im a free agent. I just owe Sony one more album. Its just a box set, really, with two new songs which Ive written ages ago. Because for every album that I record, I write - literally, Im telling you the truth - I write at least 120 songs every album I do. So I can do the box set, just giving them any two songs. So Im leaving Sony, a free agent, owning half of Sony. I own half of Sonys Publishing. Im leaving them, and theyre very angry at me, because I just did good business, you know. So the way they get revenge is to try and destroy my album. But Ive always said, you know, art - good art - never dies. Thank you. And Tommy Mottola is a devil! Im not supposed to say what Im going to say right now, but I have let you know this. [Points to crowd.] Please dont videotape what I am going to say, ok? Turn it off, please. Do it, do it, I dont mind! Tape it! Mariah Carey, after divorcing Tommy, came to me crying. Crying. She was crying so badly I had to hold her. She said to me, This is an evil man, and Michael, this man follows me. He taps her phones, and hes very, very evil. She doesnt trust him. We have to continue our drive until he is terminated. We cant allow him to do this to great artists, we just cant. I just wanted to let you know, I appreciate everything youve done, youve been amazing. Youre so loyal! [Scanning the audience]. Diana, everybody, Waldo, all the people here! I love you all. Youve been amazing, I love you! But still, but still, I promise you, the best is yet to come!
