That little incident made it to the gossip columns first, but undoubtedly the entire show was dedicated to Michael Jackson. Celebrities paid tribute to the King of Pop, led by his sister Janet Jackson and Madonna who gave a touching speech referring to Jackson as  ”one of the greatest talents the world has ever known”. She spoke of the time when she invited him out to dinner.
She also spoke about darker times, when he was hounded by child abuse allegations:
“I had abandoned him,” she said. “We had abandoned him, that we allowed this magnificent creature who lit the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks.”
