Tell me about it.
It's Britney, bitch.
She's listening to Michael Jackson.
Britney Spears ladies and gentlemen
We love you. I love you too
You have recently performed with Michael Jackson.
What was it like working with him?
Yeah, I did a show with him in New York
and we sang 'The Way You Make Me Feel' together.
It was very cool.
It was until afterwards that I realized what had just happened.
I just performed with Michael Jackson, like it was weird, you know, but it was very cool.
It's something that I'll be able to tell my kids, you know?
I didn't really realize what had happened
until I got off the stage and I was like, I just performed with Michael Jackson man.
It was just really an amazing experience
for me, because 'The Way You Make Me Feel', that's the song that I performed with him,
it's one of my all time favorite songs.
So it was it was awesome.
It was really, really amazing.
I was very honored that he wanted to do this song with me.
When I was younger
and I'd watch Madonna and Michael.
They're just like performing and putting their heart out there.
I just think he's a genius.
He's not only an incredible songwriter, but he's an incredible performer, everything,
You know?
And I just really respect his music, he's amazing.
Oh my lordy.
Billie Jean, I remember playing that song over and over again in my room.
I would look at myself in the mirror and pretend I was the girl.
And I was just like, oh my God, I love that song.
Hell yeah baby.
As long as I have music and I'm sitting
there dancing and I'm can be in my own little world and he can capture that, you know.
So it was fun.
Michael Jackson,
what I read about the fact that you're going to do a duet with Michael Jackson
was it was going to be a duet with Michael Jackson and that it'll be out next year.
It's not really a duet. I'm not really supposed to say,
but the part I can say is that he did phone me and we did talk on the telephone man.
I was it like your phone?
You did your own personal phone ring and you said hello.
Yes, yes it did
I was like, I was like, hello?
And I was like. Hi can I speak to Britney?
and I was like, this is her. Hi, this is Michael.
I was like, Michael who? Michael Jackson.
I was like who is this? Who is this?
I was such a dork, but it was him.
Come on tell me the whole conversation.
Well, I can't tell you that.
But he said, hi it's Michael.
He called me Applehead.
I don't know why he called me Applehead. I'll tell you that much
He called me.
He was like, hello? Can I speak to Britney please?
And I was like, who is this?
And he goes this is Michael Jackson.
And I was like, no this is not. Who is this?
I mean, like Michael Jackson calling
your phone just in the middle of the day, OK?
I was like, who is this?
And he's like, its Michael, its Michael Jackson.
And I was like is this him? Is this really him? I don't know, I don't know
and I was like, Oh ok, how are you?
And he started talking to me more
and I realized it was him, but it was
I'll never forget that moment ever.
I'm going to be giving Michael Jackson a birthday cake, it's his birthday. So I get to be on stage and do that.
So, he's my idol, the best guy in the whole world.
So I'm really excited about that. I'm really nervous.
It's Michael Jackson.
I am thrilled to be here with you in New York on such a special night,
and it's even more special because it just so happens to be someone special's birthday.
This is someone who has inspired me
and just about everybody in this room and the world.
I consider him the artist of the millennium.
So happy birthday, my friend, the King of Pop.
Erm, God bless you.
Erm, I love you, too.
Erm.
Thank you very much, erm,
Britney Spears, you look wonderful.
If someone had told me that one day I would be getting as a musician
the artist of the Millennium Award, I wouldn't have believed it.
This is really amazing. I can't believe it.
All the fans around the world, I love you. God bless you.
Thank you.
Ok, let's take a look at this year's nominees for best pop video.
You know what? I really like that outfit.
Oh my God. and I got to go out with Michael Jackson. That was cool.
He's still an idol of yours.
Yea, definitely I mean, I think that he's done.
I mean, I really think of a genius that he is and he's brilliant.
And Billie Jean, of all the old stuff he used to do.
I think he's great. Doesn't he worry you though?
The baby over the balcony kinda of Michael Jackson?
Well, I think.
I think maybe growing up like such a young
age, and it's probably affected him somewhat and maybe it's kind of. But I
think he's a great person at heart and I just think maybe he needs me a call,
you know, he probably needs some friends around him, to be honest, or,
you know. You think all the stuff written about him is untrue?
Little kids?
I want to think that's untrue.
I choose to believe that's untrue.
Yeah,
How's it going Britney? I like that shirt.
(inaudible)
Thank you, Britney. Thank you.
Bye bye
Brit sad news about Michael Jackson. Do you have anything to say? He just died.
Farrah Fawcett also died today in the morning.
But Michael Jackson, I used to see you using his shirt.
So you must have been his fan, eh?
Britney please say a word for Michael Jackson.
Just a quick word,
to show the love.
So she is almost like the story
of Michael Jackson, her childhood was not normal.
And so now that she's an adult woman, she wants to have a normal life and God
bless her, she should absolutely have that.
And she deserves that.
She's worked for it at the very least.
So let her reap the rewards of all
of the labor that she's done over the many years she's been doing it.
