1993年格莱美奖迈克尔杰克逊的发言英文版 他妹给他颁奖年一届

February 24 1993Los Angeles CaliforniaBefore he won 12 Grammy awards, before he dazzled billions of fans around the world with his amazing talent as a performer, before he impacted on millions of lives with his ongoing humanitarian efforts, before all of that, he was one another thing.

He was my brother.

Hi .I’m Janet Jackson , and I’m pleased to be here tonight to honor the man I love and admire as an artist and a person—my brother , Michael Jackson .

The Grammy Legend Awards is given for ongoing contributions and influence in the recording field but nowhere does it tell you what to do to become a legend.

If I were to write a book of instructions using my brother as a guide it would read something like this:“How to Become a Legend”Let’s start with the present and work our way backwards.

Chapter 1: Take a big chance with a live 90-minute prime-time interview with Oprah Winfrey.

“Join me for the worldwide television event of the year.

”Chapter 2: Put on a spectacular Super Bowl halftime show before the largest audience in TV history.Chapter 3: Use your extraordinary popularity, influence, time, energy, money and heart to help children heal the world.

Chapter 4: Create a two-a-half-hour standing-room-only concert event from Bucharest, Romania that gives HBO the highest audience rating in cable history.

Chapter 5: Release “Dangerous” and watch in enter the charts at number one and become the world’s biggest selling album of 1992.

Chapter 6: Record “BAD” and watch it become the second largest selling album ever.

Chapter 7: Stun the Motown 25th anniversary audience with a legendary performance that leaves everyone moonstruck.

..Chapter 8: Record “Thriller” and watch it become the number-one largest selling album of all time.

Chapter 9: Bring your enormous talent to the creation of new-style videos that are really mini-movies with imaginative stories and mind-blowing effects.

Chapter 10: Capture an armful of eight Grammies the most ever won in a single year.Chapter 11: Tour the world over, making new friends everywhere you go.

Break all exciting attendance records while visiting over 30 countries, many of them more than once, and bring the best in contemporary concert entertainment to over 10 million loving fans.

Chapter 12: Create an international anthem with a superstar cast that becomes the top-selling single of all time.

Chapter 13: Make a serious effort to have four consecutive number one hits before graduating from grade-school.

Chapter 14: It helps to have brothers who are very musical. And it doesn’t hurt to have a little sister who loves you very much.

Chapter 15: But first and foremost if you’re going to be a true legend try to be born with a lot of talent and the willingness to take the plunge.

So, to sum it up…Now I’m very happy to present the Grammy Legend Awards for 1993 to my big brother,Michael Jackson.

Congratulations, Michael Jackson. (Michael!) No, but I just wanted to say one thing seriously.

I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you, and how much you’ve inspired me, and how proud I am to be your sister and how much I love you, I do.

应该是从这儿开始——Well, (I love you, too!) Thank you. I hope this puts to rest. I hope this finally puts to rest another rumor that has been in the press for too many years.

Me and Janet really are two different people.

In the past month, I’ve gone from “where is he?”to“here he’s again.” But I must confess, it feels good to be thought of as a person, not as a personality, because I don’t read all the things written about me.

I wasn’t aware that the world thought I was so weird and bizarre, but when you grew up, as I did in front of 100 million people since the age of five, you’re automatically different.

The last few weeks, I have been cleansing myself and it’s been a rebirth for myself. It’s like a cleansing spirit.

(I love you, Michael!) I love you, too.My childhood was completely taken away from me.

There was no Christmas, there were no birthdays. It was not a normal childhood. No normal pleasures of childhood.

Those were exchanged for hard work, struggle and pain and eventual material and professional success.

But as an awful price, I cannot recreate that part of my life, nor would I change any part of my life.

However, today when I create my music, I feel like an instrument of nature. I wonder what delight nature music feel when we open our hearts and express our God-given talents.

The sound of approval rose across the universe and the whole world abounds in magic.

Wonder fills our hearts, for we have glimpsed, for an instant the playfulness of life, and that’s why I love children and learn so much from being around them.

I realize that many of our world’s problems today from the inner-city crime to large-scale wars and terrorism and our overcrowded prisons are a result of the fact that children have had their childhood stolen from them.

The magic, the wonder, the mystery and the innocence of a child’s heart are the seeds of creativity that will heal the world.

I really believe that!What we… (We love you!) I love you, too. What we need to learn from children isn’t childish.

Being with them connects us to the deeper wisdom of life which is ever-present and only asks to be lived.

They know the way to solutions that lie waiting to be recognized within our own hearts. Today I would like to thank all the children of the world, including the sick and deprived.

I am so sensitive to your pain.

I also want to thank all those who have helped me to change my talent here on earth. From the beginning, my parents, all my brothers and sisters, especially Janet, I am so proud of her.

It’s incredible, I mean, I remember when we were little, I used to ask her to be Ginger Rogers while I was Fred Astaire.

The Motown family—my teacher Berry Gordy, Diana Rose—I love you; Susan de Pass the wonderful, great Quency Jones, Teddy Riley; my new godson Michael Gibb.

My Sony family—Akio Morita, Mickey Schulhof, Tommy Mottola, Dave Glew, Polly Anthony.

Thanks for making one of my most creative efforts—the album “Dangerous”—such an incredible success.

I love you so much. Sandy Gallin, Jim Morey, all the fantastic fans around the world. I love you very much.

珍妮:现在,我很荣幸的把1993年度葛莱美当代传奇奖颁发给我的哥哥,迈克尔·杰克逊。(场内出席典礼的明星及观众全体起立用热烈的掌声欢迎迈克尔。他走到台上,和妹妹拥抱,观众依旧站立鼓掌。)珍妮:恭喜你,迈克尔·杰克逊……我想在这说两句,非常认真的。我只想告诉你我是多么地以你为荣,你给了我巨大的激励,能作为你的妹妹,我感到太骄傲了。

我非常爱你,真的。迈克尔:我也很爱你,谢谢……我希望这次真的可以消除几年以来被媒体渲染得沸沸扬扬的谣言:我和珍妮真的是两个不同的人。(观众大笑)
在过去的几个月中,有人问“他到哪里去了?”现在人们说“哦,他又回来了。

”但我得承认,当我被看作一个普通人而非一个名人的时候,我感觉更加快乐。因为我没有阅读过所有关于我的文章,我也不清楚这个世界原来一直都把我看得如此古怪离奇。但如果你有和我一样的成长经历的话,如果你从5岁起就一直在亿万人的关注下成长的话,你自然就会与众不同。在过去几周里,我净化自己,浴火重生。就像又拥有了一个纯净的灵魂。

(对尖叫的观众致意:我爱你们!)我根本都没有童年。没有圣诞节,没有生日。那不是一个正常的童年,也没有童年可以享受到的任何快乐--取而代之的是辛勤工作、奋斗和痛苦,最终换取了物质和事业上的成功。但是我付出了沉重的代价,因为我再也不能重塑这段人生。

然而今天,当我创作我的音乐时,我觉得自己就是上帝的乐器。我在想当我们敞开心扉,尽情挥洒我们的天赋时,那便是怎样的一种喜悦啊!那经上帝审核过的乐曲,在空中飘荡,让整个世界都充溢着神奇。

我们也在一瞬之中瞥见了生活乐趣,心中满是奇迹。这就是我爱孩子的原因,从他们身上我也学到了很多。我也意识到了当今世界上存在的很多问题 :从都市犯罪到大规模的战争和恐怖袭击,以及我们过度拥挤的监狱,都是因为那些人有着一个不快乐的童年。

孩子心中的魔法、奇迹、神秘和天真是创造力的源泉,这可以拯救世界。我真的这么认为。我们需要学习的,我们需要从孩子身上学习的不是那份孩子气。在和他们的交往中,我们学到的是生活的大智和真谛。他们知道解决问题的方法正在自己的心中酝酿。

今天,我要感谢世界上所有的儿童,包括那些残疾的和缺乏教育的孩子们,我对你们的痛苦真的感同身受。在此,我要感谢所有帮助我发挥出天赋的人们。首先感谢我的父母,所有的兄弟姐妹,尤其是珍妮。我很为她骄傲,真的太棒了。我的意思是,我还记得我们小的时候,我经常叫她扮作Ginger Rogers,而我扮Fred Astaire……。

还要感谢Motown大家庭,我的老师Berry Gordy。Diana Ross,我爱你。Suzanne De Pazze,伟大的Quincy Jones。Teddy Riley。我的教子Michael Gibb。

还有我新的Sony公司大家庭--盛田昭夫、Mickey Schulhoff、Tommy Mottola、Dave Glew、Polly Anthony ……谢谢你们与我合作了最富创造性的作品《Dangerous》,真的是太成功了。我非常爱你们!Sandy Gallin、Jim Morey。还有世界上所有伟大的歌迷们,我爱你们!(观众掌声更加热烈,Michael和Janet走下台)
