And she’s still supporting him today with her celebrations world tour with a phenomenal MJ tribute ❤

I have not always liked Madonna but I really appreciated her publicly supporting Michael. She was one of the few. After Michael passed she did a great tribute to him!

What gives Madonna genuine gritt, He dissed her once in a recorded conversation, really just told the truth how he felt, and how she made him feel, and still she stands with him, because she knows and she’s real.

I’m not a huge fan of her but she’s very perceptive. She could see right through him. Pain, repression, and all.

8:04 - 8:06 She said “Shut up”. I said “You shut up” Imagine hearing the King & Queen of Pop saying that to each other 😂😂😂❣️❣️❣️

MJ fans don’t give her enough credit. Even though they probably didn’t get along, she always had his back. Many celebrities turned their backs on him when the trials happened but she never did

Madonna is so gorgeous. I’ll never understand why people say she’s not. This woman is absolutely stunning.

The both of them walking together at the awards show was iconic n legendary

Madonna is the last of the legends.She really stood up for Michael. And he never knew in his life she was his ally.

Their relationship summed up: Michael: i wanna go to Disneyland Madonna: I wanna go to a strip club ...

Whatever went on or didn't go on during their lifetimes together, Madonna has redeemed herself in my eyes at the O2, October 2023 - with the latest Billie Jean tribute to Michael. She has done more than she could ever know to help heal the damage done to him - having a reunion with him on the stage where he was due to perform 14 years ago. Bravo! Love Lives Forever 💖💖💖

I think they’re both just so unique, strong willed, used to being the one in charge, and that’s why they didn’t click as a romantic couple, neither one willing to relent

I love Madonna. I grew up on her music. The Immaculate Collection was the soundtrack of my childhood. She may have her flaws but she's always stood by MJ and supported him, despite their differences. I respect her for always keeping it real.

Madonna: « I’m not going to Disneyland. Ok? That’s out. » Michael Jackson: « I didn't ask you to go to Disneyland » I love MJ’s response. 😂😂

I think they were both right about eachother. Madonna got to where she is by being assertive and powerful which being abrasive and cruel at times is expected given the massive barriers she had to tackle. A lot of celebrities have said she’s not kind and honestly I can totally see it but u don’t blame her, it’s definitely a defense mechanism. I mean look what happened to Michael. The kindest celebrity of all time and he was brutalized up until his murder. The only thing that was wrong with her is she should have learned to be kind but cruel when necessary. She never found that balance.

"women don't scream for other women, and men are 'too cool' to scream for women" very interesting and insightful! both of them come off as very well-spoken and do a great job of articulating their thoughts. i think madonna and mj both go deeper and deeper than any of us realize

MJ is an example of how being simple and nice is a tragedy in this world

I'm so glad that I got to experience both Micheal and Madonna at their highest peak. If you wanted to dance, you knew they would both get you out of your seat. If you wanted to cry and feel deeply, you knew that both would make that song to bring you to that place. There are so many artist out there that want the fame that MJ and Madonna have and still have, but unfortunately, they didn't have the artistic talent to write their own hits like MJ and Madonna have. MJ and Madonna run their show while artist today have others run it for them.

I will always respect Madonna for never trash talking mike esp after their falling out. Solid move considering how bad he dissed her, even Lisa Marie couldn’t help but give him a few jabs at some points, God rest her soul tho. She admitted she made a mistake.

Back when I had ‘some’ respect for these people. We lost a great person and entertainer with Michael. He was the first one that fought the system of that industry! I respected him, that’s more than I can say with the lot of them out there now. Still miss you, MJ!

Both Madonna and Michael are true music icons,without a doubt

I love how Madonna still speaks of him in the present tense.

Totally respect her reaction at live aid . She was true to her self … as always !

People should get their priorities straight and stop focusing on the little. I am very grateful that Madonna defended Michael against SERIOUS allegations. So many jealous haters never seem to care about that. The way she behaved was in the past, today she just defended him. But they dont care, lol.

Their interaction was always very interesting and complicated. I think that Madonna always had a genuine care for MJ but I believe they had conflicts because not only are they polar opposites but I think she had completely different expectations of him, had a lot of notions and desires in her head and was met with what she probably saw as a frustrating walking contradiction. As time went on I think she let her notions and desires go and got to see him as he was and that's why I think she always stood up for him in later years. I think he would appreciate that, she's also more complex and deeper than he got to see. It's always better to have someone reveal themselves to you for better or for worse but has your back when push comes to shove, than to have someone smile in your face, say everything they think you want to hear but stab you in the back.

Their relationship must be the most interesting one in history. They are called as King and Queen. One was worshipped and later people all desperately wanted to drag him down. The other was always mocked as bi..h, but she never let others to undermine her dignity anyway. One had dream of childhood fantasy_seeking otherworldly visuals like of space, the other had penchant for human's desire and instinct, some of things of the lowest ground. It seemed they are totally different, but they had something in common. They were the one of the kind, the most creative people, the era changing figures in culture. And they could share the loneliness of the height. I think Madonna tried to change him, exposed him to her aesthetics. But in my pure assumption, she changed her opinion after she watched HIStory tour, then she understood the visuals Michael had, and respected his vision and artistry, and took him as who he is. Madonna always knew what vulnerability was since her mother's death, but she just didn't let others use her own. As much as she was tough person to be around, manipulative and controlling to her surroundings, she had heart and sympathy for weak people who didn't know the way to defend themselves. People who have been forced to shut their mouth by others, she rooted for those people and wanted to represent them. She understood how the masses can be violent to others just to feel secure of their own faith. And she was never afraid of peer pressure. Even though it makes her alone, she's the kind of person who will choose her own faith, tell the truth that she knows, and most of time the truth she saw was right, it was ahead of its time.

Her defending Michael in that British Vogue article sums up her love of context. Hence, she was shocked the song In The Closet had no lyrics whatsoever regarding sexuality.

Michael Jackson and Madonna are LEGENDS in their own right. Many of these pop performers are influenced by them one way are another. I give Madonna props for speaking kindly of MJ after his death.

"Women don't scream for other women. And men are to cool to scream for women." Realest thing I ever heard Michael say!👍

The idea of Michael Jackson and Madonna telling each other to shut up is something beyond my wildest dreams

Well Done! Thank you for your seamless editing and collection of some uncirculated quotes. Much appreciated!

Madonna talked positive about Michael . She loved him

I've been a Madonna lover for 40 years and a Michael Jackson fan for the same number of years. How can you be so blind and talk about rivalry. Open your eyes to this day, Madonna still has Michael deep in her heart. For me both are wonderful singers, people, and an unfinished couple!

Madonna não foi convidada para We are The world e ironicamente é uma das mais bem sucedidas cantoras ainda na ativa daquela época, não teve vício algum e continua em alta. É isso, nascer para reinar soberanamente ❤

Uma pena eles não terem cantado juntos 😱sem dúvidas foram os grandes nomes de 1980 em diante ✨🌟✨Duas lendas 🌟🌟

I can still put on an MJ or Madonna song to this day and it instantly transports me back in time to being a kid when everything was fun and simple. Always a fan because it’s the music of my childhood ❤️

As far as music is concerned, the King and Queen of Pop will never die.

Madonna giving artistic advice to the King of Pop is laughable.

Love this channel and it’s content!! You guys are awesome!!♥️

M.J. and Madonna are definitely in my top 5 favorite artist of all time for sure! 👌🏾💯🔥🔥🔥 I remember when Madonna first released her debut album back in 1983 during the pre Like A Virgin era and I also remember back in 1982 when M.J. released his masterpiece Thriller. All I can say is... that was definitely a wonderful time to be alive and witness! You just had to be there to truly understand what I am saying. I will always be a huge fan of M.J. and Madonna forever!🤗

Madonna was extremely popular in India and as a kid I sang all of her songs. MJ was equally popular however I could not match my moves with him though I am a trained Indian classical dancer. I loved Madonna more but now as an adult feel the genius of Michael Jackson and how he cannot be replaced.

I was just at the Madonna Celebration tour concert last night. She opened up with Michael Jacksons Wanna Be Starting Something. And sencond to last song was dedicated to a mix of her and Michael Jacksons songs and her seeing him off to heaven. Plus she showed a lot of pictures of them together. She loved him. It ended with a huge sign saying "Never Can Say Goodbye"

Michael Jackson was a superstar all across the 1970s, when Madonna & Prince were still at school. Watching, admiring & listening to Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5. Despite all three being the same age. By the time Prince & Madonna blew up. Mike was already a veteran of the music scene by a good 13 to 14 years! Just incredible.

Michael was too Good to everyone...He invited everyone to his life & believed in them... That's the biggest mistake of his Life...I wish Someone was in his side and guided him....if you're too Good to this World , this is how they would treat you....Be good to those who understand you & not to everyone...This is a Cruel wold...Michael was a Messenger....But the Society Just teared him down for Being God like...And the Biggest Comedy is that still many people are believing on those False claims made on Michael...I Pity for them for they couldn't see that Michael Was a True Angel / Messenger of Jesus Christ...Michael Jackson is more than an Entertainer ✝️Good Bless🔥Rest in Peace King of Humanity 💐

Back in the day I always seen MJ as the king of pop and Madonna as the queen of pop they were my favourite pop stars out of everyone.. 2 greatest of all time.. they still are right up to this day 👑👑 ❤️❤️⭐⭐💎💎🌹🌹💞

Grazie per questo Servizio giornalistico. È bellissimo ❤

In a parallel universe they met. They got romantic. They fell in love. They have beautiful children and they're both doing great. Two of the greatest icons of pop music merged as one.

When most people were against Michael, Madonna supported him. And Madonna's support was doubly important, because Michael was and remains the King, while Madonna was and remains the Queen and supported him. Thank you, Madonna, you are a true Legend, like Michael Jackson.

Madonna's fans who attended her concerts know that when Wanna Be Startin Something is played, it means her show is about to begin. She did this in remembrance of Michael. No matter what her relationship with him was in the past But now she definitely loves him.

I’m surprised Madonna wasn’t invited to sing on We Are The World since she was one of the biggest artists at the time!

She wasn’t a good person with him! He said so himself! So yeah , i’m glad he didn’t want to work with her or anything to do with her!!

So glad he didn't cut his hair. I'm all in for his curls in bad era 😍

She can rival him as she has height. It was a healthy rivalry. Madonna was one of the only living artists of the Michael Jackson era who defended him after his death. She is the Queen!

Short story about MJ and Madonna from Matt Fiddes, MJ's bodyguard. He was driving MJ though London and MJ say's "I heard Madonna is in town" Matt's like "yeah she's performing in a west end show" Mike replies "that good, am please for her.... she needs all the help she can get" 🤣

I am not a Madonna fan but I love that she hit the nail on the head with innocent until proven guilty and what was their agenda. Good for her.

Madonna is a tough woman but in this business, you have to be if you want to do it for decades. And at the same time, she is also righteous and honest which is more than rare. Ans she never seemed to have lost her humanity in the 4 decades she has been performing. Thats quite a feat.

Madonna is a living Legend. Almost all of us know that she is a legend. But her real price will become known to people after her death. People don't appreciate irreplaceable people in life, only after death. She is the whole story. An Icon, Legend and Emblem of American pop music.

Obviously 2 of the biggest iconic music giants of the 80s and early 90s 💚

Their music is powerful! Intrigues just added interest! Love them both!

Well, she tried... Back in a time (prior to his death) when any public support of Michael Jackson would be risky to ones image, at best, and at worst, totally detrimental to ones own career... Madonna still tried. She was still a vocal public supporter of MJ. After his death... when even more allegations had been heaped on MJ, when the world was changing & the Me Too movement was gaining traction & TO NOT believe a "victim" was UNHEARD OF... She still tried. Madonna still supported MJ. Regardless of the consequences, she still tried. Gotta respect her for that. It turns out, she has one great big set of brass balls.

Michael Jackson is unbelievably talented, miss him so much ❤️

Thank you Madonna for standing up for your one some friend MJ. She is so genuine here, probably they would have kept friends but MJ cut people off later in his career. I miss MJ. 😥😥

I miss Michael Jackson so much.

I love Madonna. Super intelligent, daring, brave, the real deal. She would have been GREAT on “In The Closet”. ♥️

I think Madonna liked to shock people with many things that she did, but there was an element of truth in much of what she did. She exposed racism in Religion with her Like a Prayer Video. That is the video that really made me respect Madonna, because images are very powerful and she sent a very powerful message with that video.

Le pese a quien le pese y a las nuevas generaciones Madonna sigue siendo la reina de el pop a nivel mundial y por otra parte nadie ha ocupado el trono que Michel Jackson dejó!!!!

M.J is completely honest when he say she was mean. I seen her filming who’s that girl in my neighborhood. I was a huge fan. I was a young teenager. I asked her for a autograph and she said to me “no I don’t do autographs” in the rudest tone. I backed off quick. And never forgot that experience. Never looked at her the same since. But I still like her. It was her decision whether or not to give me a autograph and she said no. I respected it. No harm done.

Hardly a rivalry, but I love em’ both 💙🧡 Madonna always kept it real & paid homage!

Madonna is beautiful and one of the greatest pop star in history.

She’s a class act for how she honored her friend.

80's and 90's were 2 different awesome dimensions. its impossible to compare it with depressive 21th century after 2007 in cultural/fashion/music/movies/technology/simplicity/everything. who born after 2000 there is no words for to subscribe the Vibe of the MIGHTY 80's & 90's

I used to side-eye Madonna a lot. I tried to dismiss her accomplishments because of her sometimes rude behavior & the willingness of the mainstream to promote her in line with the old Elvis Effect-A White artist getting all the glory despite the work of the Black artist. But I had to get over that. Over time I had to realize that Madonna was legit. You don't stay around for 40 years if you're a fluke. And as much as I still resent the Elvis Effect, her being White is not the total reason why she gets her glory. Old Hollywood actually liked Michael & snubbed Madonna. She looked up to Marlene Dietrich & Marlene called her Trash. So she wasn't as welcome & accepted as it may appear. And being Female has its own obstacles just like being Black does. She always wrote her own music & she LITERALLY changed the game for Female Superstars & Superstars in general. She innovated so many things & broke so many boundaries. Who am I diminish her accomplishments? But ultimately what turned my opinion on Madonna is that she's not a phony or a fairweather. She has character & courage. When she says something, she means what she says & you're not gonna run her off of her stance with peer pressure. She NEVER ran down Michael about anything important. When the witchhunts came, she didn't pile on Michael to get ahead. And she easily could have if she wanted to. But she didn't. Instead she backed up Michael against the tide. MULTIPLE times. When looking back, I wish Michael would have spent more time with Rude Madonna than Sheisty Rabbi Shmuley the turncoat. She would have never stabbed Michael in his back like Shmuley did. She would keep it real with Michael & he needed that. She has regrets on not making a better effort to reach out to him in the 2000s era. She wished for that connection too. In death, she upholds him constantly. No other contemporary is talked about as much on her Instagram than him. Madonna always admired Michael as a person & as an artist. She wanted to become the Female Michael Jackson, his counterpart. And she has done that. If Michael is the King, then Madonna is the Queen. I'm fine with that comparison. The only one to come close to challenging his utter dominance on the charts was her. No one beat him but she came the closest. Janet Jackson is the Queen of Rhythm because she was never seeking the crossover specifically. Madonna is rightfully the Queen of Pop as counterpart to Michael as the King of Pop. And Michael, Madonna, & Prince make up the Holy Trinity. She earned that position & I have to acknowledge that.

Madonna can’t be compared to Michael Jackson there is no comparison.... Madonna ain’t on the talent level of mj ... but it’s good she always stuck up for Michael and had good things to say about him

When I was a kid I never appreciated just how pretty she was!

M & M, both legends that will never be forgotten.

Those days when Legends was fully presence. a real time for celebrate the stars, the music, the atmosphere of real music moments ! Those days will never EVER come back. period

Madonna and Michael Jackson in a duet!!! YES! And she would be PERFECT in "In The Closet"

I forgot she wasn’t part of We Are the World, which was ironic as she was already skyrocketing with the fame above the others. And I agree I wanted Michael to cut his hair really short as well.

She was beautiful in the 80s and 90s. Too bad we all have to get old😥😥😥😥

People gotta remember, back in the 80s and 90s Madonna was young. She said and did some stupid stuff as to be expected. Now she's Alot older and more mature. Some of u can hate on her if you want, but she defended MJ when he was in trouble....don't forget that. From Bashir to LN....she didn't follow the MJ hate train. MJs so called friends turned on him...she didn't.

This channel . I wish it existed when I was 8 years old it would have saved me thousands of hours looking for rare videos or watching interviews and a lot of different videos about MJ.

I adore Madonna so much, I had always had a massive crush on Madonna since when I was 9 years old, and I got into Michael Jackson since when I was 5 years old, and I grew up loving both, but despite allegations that were against him , he is amazing and always always be my Idol No matter what, I worked on, and studied his dance moves and dance walk, people wouldn't believe it and worked on his voice singing chords, I have done Karaoke in different places, and people have loved it, someone commented that I am the Michael Jackson taken over

En mi opinion Michael es un gran artista,unico e irrepetible,verdaderamente el rey del pop,mientras que Madonna es tambien muy talentosa e inteligente para mantenerse en la industria,ademas siempre supo reinventarse algo que le aconsejo al propio Michael,la reina y el rey del pop 🤩

There was no rivalry. MJ was in his own league...

"I tried to have an influence on him." Sounds like she was trying to control him & change who he was. Glad he didn't let her do that nonsense. In the same breath, glad they mended their differences & that she defended him.

The missed collaboration is like two champion boxers that never fought… what could have been.

What rivalry mj is the king

This incredible woman has been doing it for over 40 years, not many can say that. Truly phenomenal!

Smart woman!!,serious allegations deserve serious scrutiny.

Good times back then...I loved each and everyone of them.,it was all about keeping it real!

"im not going to a place whereb they crossdress" "women dont scream for other women" god he was so closeminded

Kurt Loader is the Peter Jennings of mtv. He’s just so untouchable, I’d love for him to narrate my life.

Gen X 1980s. These two were the soundtrack of our lives!

He STILL is one of the most talented people

Sie will nur immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit !!

I LOVE Michael's response to the glasses in the car. ❤I can picture him doing that and winning the moment. :) Who's bad!? 😁

I always liked it King of pop and queen of pop........... Huge Respect to Madonna who respects my king 👑❤️......I think there is no rivalry between them as the paparazzi published... it's just misunderstanding which Madonna tried to drive away....... Thankyou so much for this video 💕...All the best 💐 for coming videos .... keep rocking

I used to like Madonna as a kid of the 90s and early 00s, but she seems insane now.

You done Madonna dirty with that thumbnail.

Considering that she has never held back and says her truth unapologetically she has always spoke about Michael very respectfully. I agree with her that Michael should have updated his look as he got older. In saying that his look is iconic.
