Michael Jackson Honored With Lifetime Achievement Award

Posted by Joelle Tomlinson on December 12th, 2009

Michael JacksonAs Christmas rolls around, and people around the world tune into the Jackson 5′s version of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Clause,” featuring a young Michael, it quickly becomes obvious how long the King of Pop was in the business.

Perhaps the perfect way to honor that is a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy. This is what Jackson will receive the day prior to the Grammy Awards on January 30, according to mtvnews.com. There are only six other musicians that have been honored with this award, including Bobby Darin, Leonard Cohen, David “Honeyboy” Edwards, Loretta Lynn, Andre Previn and Clark Terry.

Though the deceased Jackson is not eligible for any Grammy nominations this year, his Achievement award will be granted to his memory at the invite-only Special Merit Awards. It hasn’t been announced whether there will be a Michael Jackson tribute at the Grammys this year, though if it does happen, the Jackson brothers have made it media-public that they would be thrilled to assist in any way possible. Jermaine Jackson, brother of the legend, said that if they are involved in a tribute at the prestigious awards ceremony, they just “want it to be real.”

    Why the hell didn’t people do any of this stuff while he was alive? It would have meant so much to him. Frick. Now that it’s popular to like MJ again, everyone’s on the bandwagon. Where were the lifetime achievement awards when he was here to apprciate them? They weren’t given to him cause he wasn’t popular. Frick. Silly.

    Love it! How many posthumous awards has Michael received since his passing? Long live the King of Pop!

  • shell517nj

    Oh! viewership should be up.. Say Michael Jackson everybody’s watching.

  • veronica

    I am so happy for the award. I only wish people would have shown him this much appreciation when he was still here. Whatever he used to do, the media only focused on spreading lies about him and people chose to believe them. Why? Well, Michael Jackson was/is one of a kind. Who can perform like him, who cares for real about the world and is honest in his efforts to make it a better place, especially for the children.
    Compared to Michael we are just selfish materialistic people – of course people chose to believe all the lies about him – it’s easier to put your own faults on somebody else. Not many admit what they see when they look at the man in the mirror. He was almost too good to be true, but he was true and finally people start to understand that.
