- Heal the Kids, Part 1 of 4. Beautiful and important speech by #MichaelJackson to Oxford Union (Oxford University, UK) in 2001. Full text included in video. Michael was a kind and gentle person, intelligent and funny, warm and loving. And a true humanitarian. Here he pleads for us all to reconnect with our families, to forgive, to end the violence in schools and heal the hearts of the children, including our own inner child. He talks about his own childhood and the difficulties he faced in the relationship with his father. I wish everyone would listen to this. We miss you, Michael. I love you forever.
P.S. This was originally uploaded under my old account. Too bad all your beautiful comments were also erased when my entire account got shut down right after Michael's passing (due to other short clips, not this one), ahem. Please comment again =:-(
I wish everyone who doubts Michael can hear this speech.
Michael Jackson was more than just a "song and dance man" His intelligence, sensitivity, and caring spirit makes him a great man. His wealth and influence gave him power that was not fully used not to any real fault of hisown.
I will always love Michael Jackson.
An angel walked amongst us... and the darkness in this world doesn’t tolerate angels too well... god bless his soul and I pray his message sinks into those shielded hearts..
oh my god I love this man I wanna cry
Michael jackson i love you

Will definitely love him forever. Not only for his music but first of all for his spirit.
Grown up with a mother with a combination af ADHD/BPD with suicidal and violent behavior, my father escaped when I was 6 and never came back - so I know what he is talking about.
Did not know we had so much things in common. Unfortunately I discovered him into the depths first in 2009. Honestly guys, I would marry him right now if I could :)
God bless you, Andrea.
his normal speaking voice is as beautiful as his singing voice
So amazing.
Tears in my eyes again...this speech has touched my life...in so many ways...MJ sounds lovely...I miss his voice and his wisdom and his kind words...he really knew what he was talking about and so gentle and kind...so well-spoken, too.
I believe in you Michael forever always with all my heart love you Michael
There was footage of the speech on youtube, I saw it some months ago - where did it go? Michael had considerable brains, that's why he is loved so much by a lot of people, its not just because of his outstanding musical abilities. He was a deep thinker too.
Wow, why have I not come across this speech until now!? I'm looking forward to viewing the other parts.
I just want to say, even though he died young, he'd had more enriching experiences in his life than most people who reach 80 would. He gave so much to us in such a short period of time and for that I'm grateful.
That speech was inspirational...it as inspired me to have more humanity towards my fellow men..love you Michael xxxx
He's absolutely so good at expressing feeling/thought into words :). Because comparing to composing a song, it is easier :)! You can also find his speech at Grammy 93 to know how great he was :)!
THEY WILL NEVER EVER BRING HIM DOWN!
THEY WILL NEVER EVER TAKE AWAY HIS SMILE, HIS PRIDE AND HIS INDEGRITY!
The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
And I kneel before this Man's Magnificence!
MICHAEL YOU ARE FOREVER!
So wonderful. I love what your wrote here "Michael Jackson changed MY LIFE, not just my Ipod" Oh, that's so true for soooooooooo many of us.
Love you. Michael forever. I believe in you Michael with all my heart Michael
Michael Jackson is just so naturally talented and gifted in everything he does. He is naturally pure in his kindness, his singing, his dancing and even his speeches. When he addresses an audience he captivates everyone in the room. To me, Michael is perfection. It was only the media who looked for all the gaps and silences in his pure heart that created such vile stories that persuaded most people to believe the lies.
He is not only a good singer dancer and great entertainer but a genious .his message so deep so meaningful..He is different from other artist in the business.love MJ forever
we will love you forever michael jackson. God holds you safe now. We love you most.
his best speech ever..

ILOVEUMJPAN
this guy has done everything, has been on every stage-this is one of the best as he shares important lessons we should all learn
Very interesting beginning of Michael Jackson's speech revealing his inner most thoughts pertaining to his not having a childhood and telling us about Generation O.
I´m speechless....
He was ahead of our time.... No wonder the world didn´t understood him.
Love you now and always dearest and sweetest MR. Michael Jackson...:)
He is really an intelligent person with great heart. He is a great speak giving a wonderful talk. I hope more people could see this speach and know how good person he is.
R.I.P. Michael! I admire you and you will always live in my heart.
I read it (without Boeach's friggin commentary in his other book unauthorized by Michael to be published). Beautiful book. He would never, ever harm a child
"It's not easy being green." man SOOOO true SOOO true. I loved Hermit and I loved Michael.
Michael is intelligent jus listen to him speak,so pure,honest ,sincere and heartfelt and if u hate this guy u have serious issues in your life which must be resolved!
My beloved Michael u r amazing fly high baby I’ll see u in heaven ❤️
Michael, you touched my soul.... and I feel so happy to say that I know who you were and your beautiful work you left us your fans. We love you forever
His soft spoken decent voice is a cure for lots of people. He speaks with such beautiful phrases......he was a very very intelligent, sensitive man. Serious but funny sometimes too! He was relaxed here, you can hear but most of all FEEL it, when you open yourself for this Man.
I have a copy of this speech in a MJ map and sometimes I read the touching lines.
Thank you and Michael...
Michael although never attending college, made up for by being well-read. Michael read everything he could get his hands on! His imagination and thirst for adventure and innovation was limitless. He lived twice the number of years as reflected by his age. Although some portions of his life were "disappointing" for him, I truly believe in the final analysis he found more happiness then pain. Michael was strong, not this tortured soul the media would have us believe. His speech reflects this
You can tell Michael has put a lot of effort into his speech. It's absolutely brilliant!
Everyone be sure to watch all 4 segments - you won't regret it!! A beautiful soul and a true gift to all of us who have been blessed to live in his lifetime.
MICHAEL YOU SAID IT ALL mAY gOD bLESS YOUR child like heart and spirit..thank you fro your boundless lovE!AMAZING MAN! I love your vision and your greatest Heart!
Thank you begodsglow for posting "Michael Jackson - Oxford Speech 2001 (part 1/4) w/ full text". It is an honor hearing this extraordinary speech of beloved Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson. Michael overflowed with musical brilliance, love, compassion and generosity. What a life changing experience it would have been to hear Michael deliver this mesmerizing speech. God blessed this world by sharing Michael with us. Every human being would benefit on studying MJJ's message. God bless our children!
What a great speech. Michael your heart is huge... HUUUGE
i love him so much i could listen to it every day
Thank you for posting this, I have read the transcript but now to hear him delivering it, amazing. Rest in peace beautiful Michael, forever in our hearts.
Michael is reasons that
I live. I had a hart time. Michael helped my Thank you Michael❤️✌️😍😎👍😇🍀🌏🌎🌍
This is definitely the way he deserves to be remembered! Above the great ARTIST he is, he is most of all a great HUMANITARIAN.
What Michael is saying inspires me to be a good father. I mean I see fathers who never do anything for their kids, they dont play with them or even care for them. But, it takes a true father to come home from a hard day of work and play or ask his kids how their day was. I mean I have seen awful fathers personally and have heard of ones like Joe Jackson who used to hurt Michael all the time. Yet, When I see Michael and people like Steve Irwin being good fathers, it gives me so much optimism.
I love listening to Michael talk. His voice never bores me!
This is a very important speech of MJ's. Wish more people would hear it. Truth shall prevail.
A big thanks to you for making these videos
i love this speech so much
Oh thank you. You're welcome. He needs to be heard ♥♥♥
nice to hear. Thanks
I think Michael loves children so much because he never experienced what being a child feels like. Also, children are probably the only ones who don't go after his money.
genius can never be understood at their time.. michael was the one of our generation
Now listening af all 4 parts i'm realy speachless. Michael thank you for these wonderful words this realy wil help people getting a new start in their lives. Thank you Michael Jackson RIP
I loved being a kid, I dont know why people would hate being a kid. I mean I loved it so much that I didnt want to grow up. I had a very difficult time going to college, my freshman year I was only able to take 12 hour classes and I was horribly depressed most of the time. I hated the people around me who cussed and were selfish. Yet, I used faith to make me like a child. I try to see things as innocent as a child, thats why I cried so much when Michael died, since he could have understood me.
Hi Kathy, Yes :) Major Love Prayer has taken place every month on the 25th at the same time around the world since autumn 2009. It continues always, in honor of Michael. Everyone is welcome to join! LOVE!
Thank you!
So well spoken and very well rehearsed!
same here I truly miss him every moment!
So true. I know how he feels about childhood. He so right, and to think people believe he wasn't innocent.
This is so awesome and inspiring. I didn't realize there was audio of this on youtube. Thank you to begodsglow for making such a beautiful video. Your efforts are appreciated. Melissa
such a LONG BEAUTIFUL speech
happy birthday michael, so smart and pure
People should please listen to this speech. Its painful what they did to this innocent and kind man. Love Michael forever ❤️❤️❤️ you left us too soon 😢😢
I agree with you xane1990 Michael forever in our hearts , I love him very much and to all the haters seriously if you really took the time to see what a wonderful person he was you would love him the same way we the fans do. Michael I love you with all my heart and may God bless your soul. I know our Mike is up there in heaven happy he's probably all smiling at the love we give him. All my prayers go to his wonderful children God bless them and to us the fans I love u Mike se ya in heaven sumday
MJ King of Orators!
Thak you for all Michael! I love you so much!!!
Man, yall just don't know, Michael was smarter than you know. He knew more than the naked eye could see. People been sleeping on Michael, he was something special. People underestimated his intelligence. he was so true to himself. I loveeeee him from the bottom of my heart.
7:23 OMG so true so true! sadly I can relate, how can I watch this further I´m even crying now!!! Michael was brave enough to speak about such sensitiv topics. may your beautifull soul now rest in piece!
i read this speech a week ago... the part about the doughnut is heartbreaking... i cried when he was saying that... (sigh)
EVERY SINGLE WORD HURTS SO MUCH!!!
It's so true... I didn't have childhood either... My parents abused all of us (5) we sleept on the floor in one room, starving, being constanly beaten and humiliated... I grew up and I thought I'm the worst and the ugliest person alive. So did my brother and my three sisters...
BRUISES AND WHIP MARKS HEAL, BUT THE SOUL DOESN'T :'o(
My lovely Michael healed my soul... In so many ways!
I don't know how and why but he saved me. That's a proof he is God sent!
he has just such a great sense of humour :)mike, i love you, no matter what ppl said, ay and will say about u.
I love Oxford, yet I could never imagine leaving my family to go there. I would be so lonely. God bless Michael!
whooahh! where that words came from? i think from above 😍😍😍 thats my dear angel baby ❤ i love you :)
I miss Michael Jackson even though I never knew him.
Wow! I love what he said about generation O because it's so true! He was really an intelligent man and our world has suffered a great loss! I wish he could've spoken at my graduation :)
RIP MJ
I love you .Michael
grazie di avervi conosciuto siete ammirevoli che fate love you
Hermoso discurso ❤️
Truly a beautiful, compelling speech. If you've not already done so, I highly recommend reading Rabbi Schmuley Boteach's second book, Honoring the Child Spirit. It's the book Michael speaks to in this speech. It brings to life his beautiful, childlike nature and why he CHOSE to live a child-like life. If every father would model just a few of his loving qualities, we would heal the world because we'd heal our children! You are f o r e v e r Michael!
I simply love this man.
Back then, i'd say Michael for president. ):
i adore him...
When you're a kid, all you want to do is be a grown-up. When you're an adult, all you want to be is a kid. Man, nine was the best year of my life. I didn't have a clue about anything. At 10, all the magic goes away. This reminds me of the book ''Reviving Ophelia'' which discusses the effects of the media on teen girls.
hope you feel our love MJ
your so beautiful michael i love you so much
Wow I never knew he gave a speech.. RIP Mike Jackson ")
AMEN
I admired how this man, from a hubble home, self-educated himself & puts to shame many academics. He was an old soul & I miss him horribly. The world needs more Michael Jacksons... His msg was not welcomed by some, in many levels, and so they set to ridicule his name. I am so glad Jermaine mentioned he was pro "Save the Planet" way before the Al Gores...
Michael was underestimated. His speech about racism and the work w Mandela is also very powerful.
Sleep in the light, beautiful boy
This speech represents the true Michael!!
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!
people in our society are so busy runing after all sorts of unimportant things and they forget finding themselves and to finding God.We all die some day and we should all bring some joy to those around us and we should try to understand which are the real values..Michael was trying to tell us this all along,in sooo many ocassions without getting tired,without careing that he was actually being blamed for it..he always stood up for this ideas and this means being a real person
Well said Michael Jackson. This alone shows you have been innocent all through. We miss you.
this was the speech where he called his father first and said to him he loves him for d 1st time and he forgives him.accrding to some interviews of his friends,on d way to that venue.
He did not exaggerated what childhood means. Being a kid is one brief part of our lives. But not all kids today don't have a normal childhood; they don't get to play and some are even forced to work. It is sad to know that some kids try to look like grown-ups.
Yes, children are weak at first and are not much in control. They have lots to know as they go on in life. Yes, we have this state of decline before and after we hit the ages of 20-30.
Yes Michael went through a tough life..but he himself said he wouldnt change a thing about his life....Im more than sure if he could, he would come back and go through it all again. All the pain and all the sadness. He loved his life, by being the celebrity figure that he was, enabled him to be the humanitarian that he was. He was so innocent and kind because of his lack of childhood. Im not saying that im Glad he was treated that way, but im saying im glad that he was who he was. God bless MJ
very intelligent iv always liked the way he speaks very articulate
Oh Christ. The last 2 min of this part of the speech...which I've never heard before, displayed succinctly something I've never been able to articulate, but something that I've always...always known. Hot damn.
Thank you very much to you and people like you, for spending so much time from your time to show the world, who Michael Jackson is (not was, for he will live forever). These articles and videos couldn't be so easy to find before his death, only the false garbage about him, were everywhere.
my baby, you are so smart and I love yo.
This was the day i was born
That book of Schmuley's was always supposed to be about children, not about Michael supposedly gaining back the affections of the public. Like so many, Shmuley betrayed Michael's trust and beauty.
We will not forget you Michael.
Ever.
This should have 300 million views on CZcams not Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. The sites bashing MJ have so many hits and while I am not saying he's perfect I just think it's very telling that people love to view those vids rather then do actual digging and listen to vids like this. Why are people so very afraid to give MJ the benefit of the doubt? I think it's because once we realise that he was truly this nice of a person most of us know that we behave like a-holes. God Bless MJ.
I'm there today!
