四月的《Sister 2 Sister》杂志上透露了MJ为什么不去的原因。
说MJ去年7月就被邀请参加BET HONORS晚会,但到典礼开始前的那个星期二,都没有确认谁给他颁奖谁给他做致敬表演
制作公司这才去找人来表演,最后找到了NEYO。但在MJ获奖前,需要播放一点采访片段和事业生涯回顾,这个工作又是空白。没人写台词,也没人制作。 于是MJ就退出了。 当制作公司把东西凑齐了的时候,MJ已经没有时间作出行程安排了。(要移动MJ需要许多准备和保安,不是那种穿上衣服就出门的人)
这位杂志作者说MJ很失望。他本来一直计划出席BET,BET也愿意给他荣誉。当年这个黑人电视台刚创台的时候,就是MJ要求他的唱片公司要把他的MV也要给BET,而不只给MTV。

The news is about why Michael did not show up at the BET Honors Show.
Exactly from the magazine:
Why was Michael Jackson absent from the BET Honors?
BY Jamie Foster Brown
Cedric the Entertainer told the same funny jokes during rehearsals for the BET Honors as he did when the cameras rolled. He made fun of Michael Jackson, who was a last minute no-show, citing possible reasons for Michael's absence. "The monkey couldn't get his tuxedo in time," Ced cracked.
I'm told that Michael was asked to be at the January show back in July, but the Tuesday before the ceremony no one had been confirmed to present his award and no one was prepared to perform the tribute to him. Pierre Cossette Productions went back to the drawing board to find a performer (Ne-Yo came through for the taping) but the interviews and career retrospective that would air before Micahel accepted his award had not been written or produced so the superstar bowed out. Once the production company had gotten things together, there wasn't enough time for Michael to make travel arrangements. (Moving Michael takes a lot of preparation and security; he doesn't just put on his coat and walk out the door.)
We hear Michael was very disappointed and had been looking forward to attending the BET Honors. It's great that BET wanted to honor him. He has been a strong supporter of the network since day one when he demanded that Sony, his record label, put his videos on BET and not just MTV. |
