any artist that collects a worldwide fan base as big as Michaels,not to mention sell the number of albums as he did really that alone is proof Michael Jackson is the artist of the millenium my god his memorial service had to do tickets because the staples center couldnt seat enough people MTV I think its ironic that you joke at the artist of the millenium,whether you give that ugly piece of junk you call an award to him or not it dont change the truth. MICHAEL JACKSON ARTIST OF THE MILLENIUM

According to MTV, it was supposedly just a birthday gift. But as I mentioned before, why would Britney call him the Artist of the Millenium before giving him the "birthday gift", and then Michael had a written speech accepting an Artist of the Millenium award seconds after? And why the heck would Michael be presented a bejeweled musical note as a birthday gift, anyway? And onstage at the VMAs? He'd be like, "Ummm thanks?"

Sheila (9/6/2009 4:23:34 AM)

Buggy, you're so right... Why would he have come with a prepared, written speech (as you can see in the picture!) if he wasn't told before hand that he was being presented with the Artist of the Millenium award?? MTV wants to claim that Britney just made a "random" remark that in her opinion, he was the Artist of the Millenium, and Michael just assumed that that meant he was being given that award.... Well, MTV, that seems to be a VERY short amount of time to write a thank you speech, doesn't it? Your own photo reveals your lies.

i'm confused. What was the award for? If it wasn't an award what was the music note for?

SHAME ON YOU !! This is so typical from a low channel like yours, don't forget how Michael contributed to Music and already is a legend. You should be ashamed of what you have done. LOSERS

peoplemakemesick (9/5/2009 3:23:37 PM)

OH HELLS NO. not this ish again. WTF is up with you MTV people (clowns). YOU tricked the KIng of Pop, you tried to make a laughing stock of him after telling him you were giving him the award. You already owned up to it now you are going back to this false headline. STOP using the King of Pop for your own gains. You already would not be MTV without his genius works. Iif you can 't give him the respect he deserves please delete anything pertaining to him and **** off. Keep sucking up to the Jonas bros, lady gaga, and all those other fly by night artiste you big up all the time and leave the KIng of Pop alone.

What hypocrites you are, MTV. ON YOUR VERY OWN WEB SITE, YOU HAVE A PHOTO OF MICHAEL AT THE VMAS WITH THE FOLLOWING CAPTION: "Britney Spears presents Michael Jackson with the Artist of the Millennium Award at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards"!!! Click the link and see for yourselves! http://www.mtv.com/photos/michael-jacksons-greatest-mtv-moments/1614797/4005945/photo.jhtml Oh, I thought it was just supposed to be a birthday present, right MTV? That silly Jacko and his weirdness, thinking he was getting an Artist of the Millennium Award, even though it LOOKS like an award, and was being PRESENTED LIKE AN AWARD, how hilarious. But you would never do that, trick him, just so that people would have something to gossip about the next day. Right? You should be ashamed of yourselves, but obviously, YOU HAVE NO SHAME.
