  • Tribute to Michael Jackson by André Rieu, performed at Maastricht Vrijthof in July 2009, featuring "Ben" (instrumental) and "Earth Song" (Carmen Monarcha). André Rieu speaks in German, despite the concert being in the Dutch city of Maastricht. This is because the German TV station ZDF commissioned this concert. The concert also exists with André Rieu speaking in Limburgs. This version of the concert was broadcast on Dutch TV (with Dutch subtitles!) in early September 2009, a month after the ZDF broadcast on German TV, and 7 weeks after the actual live performance.
    At 0:33, there's a woman with her child (which seems quite content, but not overly enthusiastic), and at 8:03, the same child is enthusiastically waving her arms in reaction to the Maastricht children's choir waving theirs!
    And doesn't the moving image at 1:42 prove that Michael is right when he says: It don't matter if you're black or white? We all are one human race and share the same emotions.
    A translation of the German text is provided by way of annotations of the video (accessible via the arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the video if they don't show up.)

    Instantly, audience starts to cry. That tells you everything...and at the end, Carmen looks up to the sky and she sends a kiss... she is a true godess.

    "Ben" brought tears to my eyes... I saw him during MJ and Friends concert in Munich in 1999. André Rieu is a great man. Thank you.
    Miss u Mikey :(

    Carmen absolutely owns this song, and she knows it, look at her face at the end, just before she looks up as if to look for Michael's approval.

    Goes to show what a truly amazing artist Michael was to have a tribute like this. He will be remembered forever. He touched people's hearts and spoke to them no mater what nationality, religion, social status.

    Andre shows once again what a class act he is, by hastily arranging this tribute in just a few short days, and what can you say about Carmen. She's simply amazing. BRAVO!!

    I saw this concert on saturday on ZDF - and as he started to play Ben out of nothing - I was crying!
    Love MJ - thanks André!

    I am sooo proud of André Rieu from Holland (my country!!) who is such a lovely, sensitive man. He looks at the end of the song BEN to the sky to say: Thank you Michael...
    I only hope the whole Jackson Family have seen tHIS!!!!!
    ThanXX for adding tHIS video,

    The love continues. I live in TX and even hardcore Tejano music lovers be bumpin MJ full blast. Now I see that even the classical industry was affected by the loss. Michael WAS a visionary as he often said. In a society where even more people are recently jumping on the green bandwagon, Michael sang about it (Earth Song) 12 years ago. He set so many precedents; he was amazing! An artist whose talent will NEVER be matched. RIP MJ. Many have said it, this proves it: your music will live forever.

    She is little, but such power. As the song ended and the applause started, she was exhausted.

    Perfect tribute!!
    OMG, we can not hear Michael's voice, singing "Ben" or the "Earth song", but each note lives in our soul, and we repeat each word with tears....this is his legacy!!
    We can't hear Michael with our terrenal eyes cause he is in the heaven.....in the heart of God, where he belongs, singing for him...One day we will be together again...For we were never have been separated
    We really love you endlessly Michael, you are still close to our hearts !!!♥♥♥ ♪♪♪

    Brought tears to my eyes. Michael's music always had the power to move people. I'm glad that it still has this power even after he's gone. I miss you Michael... every day

    @PoetGerri Před 14 lety

    Oh my God this is simply beautiful. Just found more tears for Michael. He was so right when he said great music is immortal. So sad how America is so focused on his personal life and missing out on what the rest of the world knows: Michael Jackson has forever changed this planet by doing what he loved the most: making timeless music. And to see all those people in tears, to have classically trained musicians honoring Michael... It makes my heart glad.

    This was a breath taking tribute to MICHAEL JACKSON and i personally keep his memory and goodness alive every day and since his death there is not a day that i dont think about him and his innocent soul . What have we done to his soul? What have done to this really good guy ? Why did we hurt him and why couldn't we understand him better while he was alive ? This world was a beter place while he was in it . FLY FLY LITTLE WING . FLY BEYOND IMMAGANING . MAY REST IN PEACE MICHAEL .

    A beautiful tribute, a beautiful interpretation, but her beauty is known Grandos the voice of Michael, of his greatness, its extent, its poetry, its sweetness.
    A nice interpretation but Michael is inimitable, unattainable.
    E 'for what he lacks so much, there will be no one like him.
    He was perfection.
