- 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.) - Hudba
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.
This tribute proves that lots of great entertainers adore Michael Jackson. People all over the world love MJ, truly the King of Music. Very touching!
"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.
More and more people begin to realize now what a beautiful soul Michael Jackson was. To me he was pure love and bliss...
Andre Rieu is a modern day genius who brings out the best in the music and in people. Great man wonderful Orchestra.
This is the legacy of Michael Jackson.....and forever it will be
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,
Marga from Holland
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
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.
What a great and moving tribute -- But the Beautiful and radiant CARMEN MONARCHA stole the show!!! She has real star power... Let's see & hear more of this wonderful performer.
Carmem Monarcha deu um show nesta interpretação da músicas do Michael Jackson. Parabéns ! . KALLESSA DF BRASIL
Ben was one of the most beautiful songs written in my lifetime.
I'm not really an emotional man, but this stirs me to tears every time. Incredible performance
Wow! That was just powerful. She sang that right to the heavens and MJ is smiling from cheek to cheek :)
Love you Michael!
Michael - a man of peace, with a good heart and pure soul. Listening to the songs of Michael purified soul. Michael, you're in my heart forever.
Michael,do you see that you were really loved from every corner of the world? You were our everything.You opened our eyes to the suffering,destruction and devastation in this world by witnessing first hand the children being hungry,abused and killed. Through your eyes and music you opened the world's eyes.You will forever be in us.I love you my friend.
I didn't use to listen to Andre Rieu..but his tribute was wonderful and full of emotions...thanks to him...and thanks to you,Michael...you will always live..
How can i express how i feeling right now.
Michael i so glad you touched my heart.
You have saved me in so many ways.
Thank you.
not a day that don't go by I don't think about Michael Jackson, gone too soon that was a great tribute thank you, the greatest entertainer of all time we love you Michael Jackson.
Carmen layed her soul in that song !
I was there, live ! very emotionaly
Carmen Monarcha put her heart and soul into this heart-touching and soul stirring tribute. Fantastic!
Grammy nomination in 1997. No wins. Michael wrote it and the melody, to me, is a classic.
I just came back from the André Rieu show in France tonight, and they played this, I had a hard time trying not to cry
Me too! You can't take your eyes off her when she performs. Totally amazing singer and performer.
That was great, I cried a lot especially the violin start with Ben and the picture of Michael Jackson. It's heart-warming to see MJ was so properly embraced in the rest of the world - I guess north america will come around soon...
Peace, from Canada
Long Live The King
Miss you man,you can't imagine how hard i missed you!
after all these years i miss you like the first time..cry like the first time when i heard that i lost you....
So wonderful, so touching, so sad...
Thank you André!
I'm lost without you Mike...RIP my angel
omg. *cries again*. Ben was so beautifully executed.
Now This Is How We Pay A Tribute To The King!!!
Thq u Andre The King Is Be Honored By U!!
I love this version of the earth song. She´s got such a great voice!!
Its definately one of my favorites, its stunning what can I say. Absolutely amazing. :) He sang this song when he was only a teenager.
Ca me touche tellement! Ca m'a mis la chaire de poule! Non seulement le "Ben" au violon, mais meme cette cantatrice sur earth song, c'est à vous herisser les poils! on a eu tendance longtemps a dire qu'andrée Rieu fait de la musique classique de la soupe!!! Mais là quel bel hommage il rend à Michael Jackson! Bravo Monsieur Rieu! Michael, ou que tu te trouves en ce moment j'espere que tu vois a quel point le monde t'aime!!!!!!!
We love you MICHAEL J.JACKSON forever our the heart!!!!! We miss you MICHAELLLLLL!!!!!! from Italy!!!!!!!!
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 .

Miss him so much, this world will never be the same without his unconditional love.

Mr. Andre Rieu is a genius! His fans in Brazil are looking forward to attend his concerts. We hope that the two Brazilian singers will come with his orchestra for our joy and delight! Mr. Rieu, please come to Rio de Janeiro and present a concert in the Maracana Stadium. Thanks, Maria Vilani, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

i cant help crying! one of the greatest tributes ever!
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.
Marvelous Carmem,great maestro André!It's simply wonderful!
Simply wonderful.
