This is fantastic news. A wonderful birthday present for MJ.
One of the DJ's that has a daily set on a local radio station in Vancouver devoted his hour to MJ today, in honour of his birthday. He announced that MJ was his favourite recording artist of all time and went on about his contribution, the consistent quality of his music, his longevity in the industry, and other accolades.
Here's to keeping his legacy alive! I love you all more and more.

Dawn, I was right there with you crying when I heard them announce the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award! But I think I screamed first And I loved when Gaga repeated it, yelling it out so everyone got it... I know she's so proud too. Yes it's a wonderful victory, and well deserved. Quite a few of us got on Twitter and sent a tweet directly to MTV to thank them... I think because of our winning the recent MJ polls for MJ, among other things, now they understand that there are SO MANY MJ fans out there, and we are hard to ignore. Plus the fact there are a few MJ groups who have been campaigning to get the Vanguard Award re-instated for about a year and a half now. I was on Twitter all morning and these were trending: Happy Birthday MJ, and KING OF POP! I bet they were trending for most of the day too! Although this isn't a happy day for me (lots of tears today)... I sure am missing Michael, but still it's an important day and I'm so glad so many, including in the media, are acknowledging it. By the way, the Cirque de Soleil crew posted this video sending special Birthday messages to Michael... enjoy! www.vimeo.com/28185755Happy Birthday Michael! We wish you were here with us to celebrate it!

I found the video footage of Britney's tribute, and Gaga presenting her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award... I love saying that Hurry to watch it because these clips keep disappearing due to copyright infringement.

This is the first I am hearing about this and I think it is FANTASTIC!! ;D I didn't realize they were no longer using that name, so I also didn't realize that they had reinstated it. I didn't watch the awards show and unfortunately, they have already removed the video with Britney and Lady Gaga. Oh, well. But this just shows the power of MJ's fans!! Way to go!!!!
