Beyonce Honors Michael Jackson

Published: Wednesday 25th Jun 2014 by Sam
We remember the life of Michael Jackson.

As the world remembers the greatness of Michael Jackson on the fifth anniversary of his death, so too does blossoming icon Beyonce.

The star, who many deem this generation’s biggest talent, took to her official website to honor the man, myth, and legend that she maintains has had a profound effect on her career.

MJ, in the words of Beyonce, after the jump…

Via Beyonce:

When I was just starting out, my first producer used to make me listen to Michael Jackson’s live performance of “Who’s Loving You.”  He would have me watch that for hours back to back to back.

What he wanted me to learn was his soul.  You could hear his soul.  And he was this little kid who hadn’t experienced love but he was a vessel.  For whatever reason he could evoke more emotion than an adult.  It was so raw and so pure.  It was these little things that he did that were just swag.   It’s something that’s God given.

Michael taught me that sometimes you have to forget technique, forget what you have on.  If you feel silly, you have to go from the gut just let it go.

Michael Jackson changed me, and helped me to become the artist I am thank you Michael.

Love always,
B

Touching tribute. Kudos to Bey for celebrating a talent that gifted so much to the world.

      And you will never come close to her level, The queen is still selling millions of copies of her music her album just went double platinum, her tour just sold out and is the highest paid tour this year, she is going to be starring in a movie with WILL SMITH, she was named America’s most powerful woman #17 her net worth is over 300 million I could go on but you will never reach any of these goals so maybe you might want to rethink what you say when you want to try and downplay someones career. Yes come for me cause I will be right her ready to drag your ass on this site.

  7. truthtea June 25, 2014

    One of the many reasons I don’t like Beyawnce- always has to make it all about her and feels the need to remind people how “great” she is. A tribute to Michael should be left solely to his achievements and praising him for his contributions…not squeezing in your narcissism.

    • No. Nah. Nope. June 25, 2014

      Beyonce is a megalomaniac. No joke.

    • musiclover June 25, 2014

      if im not mistaking this was an open letter about how mj influenced there was nothing wrong in this open letter please sit down

    • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

      Bye stupid Biitch. She paid tribute to him by saying, he inspired her so many ways. Worry about your Irrelevant Ass Fav.

  8. TSwizzle June 25, 2014

    Nobody cares

    • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

      Are u talking about your life kii kii. #POOR CHILD

  9. truth June 25, 2014

    Yesss ! Drag that illiterate music thief !

    • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

      Your Mother is the Illiterate Thief. She stole your Daddy’s cuum and that how your ass here kii

  10. No. Nah. Nope. June 25, 2014

    Another day another unnecessary Beyonce post. This site needs to be renamed The Official Beyonce Fan Club. #truth

  11. vadiva30 June 25, 2014

    Ain’t this the same statement she releases every year about MJ. Oh goodness.

  12. Tea for thee June 25, 2014

    You know Blue NappyHead had to write that letter for her illiterate, stupid a$$.

    • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

      These TROLLING Hoees Kii

    • llawrence June 26, 2014

      And yet she is only 2 and is more educated than you. Speaking about a child’s hair really says a lot about you. This little girl has done nothing to you but you want to call her names. You don’t know her so you don’t know what her hair looks like everyday. The fact of the matter is Bey is suppose to do her babies hair just cause your ass say so? Who the f*** are you? Your a nobody to them your not even a factor. What does your hair look like or should I say that lacefront you wear. If you want to talk about grown people do that but try and be mature and not speak ill about kids cause that make your ass a bully. Will be waiting for you reply.

  13. There once was a pimp and his h**…. June 25, 2014

    I’m gonna have to agree with the above. The tribute would have been nice had she NOT brought herself into the statement.

  14. Lamb4lyfe June 25, 2014

    POINTLESS

  15. Riri stan June 25, 2014

  16. Arianator June 25, 2014

    • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

      Biitch bye. Who is your fav again????

    • There once was a pimp and his h**…. June 25, 2014

      Are Burrito Grande stans really trying to read anyone? No ma’am, not when Ariana’s album is still not certified platinum to this day. Bouncy is light years ahead of that girl.

      #Sorry not sorry

      • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

        And light years ahead of Whoreeianna also Kii Kii

      • There once was a pimp and his h**…. June 25, 2014

        Talent(vocals) and success wise, I can agree.

      • DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

        You forgot face and ass and just about everything else

  17. #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) June 25, 2014

    Samantha’s attempt at trying to say Beyonce is right beside Michael Jackson as an Icon. Beyonce maybe an Icon now but let’s just never try to allude or whatever and act like Michael Jackson wasn’t the greatest thing in music. PERIOD! Michael Jackson is on his throne watching each and everyone below him (Even my fave Tinashe) because he inspired this movement within each and every single artist that you see out here.

    Michael is MUSIC!

    Michael Jackson, we love you and you left so many stuff for us to remember your greatness. Truly one of….. SCRATCH THAT! The Greatest Entertainer In Music Of ALL Time. R.I.P Phenom!

    • TAMARTIAN#1 June 25, 2014

      Who tf is tinashe? Sounds like a disease

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) June 25, 2014

        Billboard Proof:

        Muppet (Your Fave) – “Love and War” #57

        TINASHE – “2 On” #44

        Now try reading that with a smile, just like this 😀

        Have a great night!

      • Rosie June 25, 2014

        She is better than Tamar.

      • TAMARTIAN#1 June 25, 2014

        Love and war (single) – PLATINUM
        love and war (album) – nearing Gold
        Love and war (tour) – SOLD OUT
        YOUR FAVE IS STILL UNKNOWN BOO 😀

      • #TeamTinashe Stan (BUY “2 On”) June 25, 2014

        Nope my fave just started and is doing tours soon. How about your fave? How about your old a**, tired a**, broke a**, looking a** fave? Didn’t that muppet try it back in the 1990’s and nothing is STILL not happening.

        And her album isn’t even gold, when did it come out? Last year. Not even a BET & a reality show can get her over.

        WHO DO YOU STAN FOR AGAIN? BYE! 😀

  18. DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

    WTF! ^^^^^^ Who are these No Fawkin Bodies above me name dropping THE QUEEN’S name?? Tamar??? Tinashe??? I don’t know any of those hoees lmfao. TGJ please ban these biitches who’s favs don’t exist.

  19. DIGGER BEY June 25, 2014

    Anyway, OMG!!!!! SO MUCH GREATNESS ON ONE STAGE!!!!!!!! Even though she was just THE PRINCESS then. That was still just ROYALTY on the stage! We Miss you KING!!!! THE ONE AND ONLY! Now THE QUEEN is the HEIR TO THE THRONE! BOW DOWN BIICHES! #R.I.P KING OF POP

  20. AMMIE LEANN June 25, 2014

    No way, she learned NOTHING from MJ, he really touched people with his music and performances, and it reflected in sales. This chick you call beyonce never really made it big, not even at her prime, with all the promo, grammys, radio overplaying her songs shamelessly even when the songs were not selling at all, hype. Her best selling album only 4x plat. when others reached diamond sales. Obviously people never saw that “talent” in her, nor they were impressed or touched, that’s why her numbers are ridiculous.

  21. The Truth Emeritus June 25, 2014

    You little kids that scavenge this site every minute of your waking day wouldn’t know talent if you lived with it your whole lives. 1) TGJ probably posted this because MJ died five years ago today. 2) Youre so quick to call Beyoncé a thief when absolutely nothing in this industry is new. It’s all borrowed. Just like you borrow all your friends clothes to hit the club every night. 3) You obviously know nothing about the music industry, sales, marketing, or PR. If you did, you’d keep your mouths shut. 4) Your favorite couldn’t see Beyoncé in the daytime with a flashlight. None if the newer artist sale the way artists did in the past because you broke bootlegging media pirates beg,barrow,steal their music and wonder why artist like Macklemore and Ryan Lewis come out on top in hip hop over real artists like Kendrick Lamar. Hate is an ugly cancer. You need to stop being so negative. You’ll never make it in the world thinking the way some of you lost souls think.
