Michael Jackson Versus Jarvis Cocker
Question! Remember when Michael Jackson performed Earth Song at the Brit Awards back in 1996 and Jarvis Cocker leapt onto the stage as a protest against what he believed to be Michael’s slightly Messianic and completely ridiculous behaviour?
Second question! Is it too soon to relive the magic via YouTube? Perhaps it is. I’m sorry, Michael Jackson fans. But I had completely forgotten about this until today and I need to share it with my beloved “peeps”.
I bloody love Jarvis Cocker. Good award show times, folks.

My absolute favourite awards moment ever. And the irony is they put the Jarv in jail for supposedly ‘hurting kids’. Know which one I’d pick to babysit.
In NO WAY is this too soon! I thought this was one of the best things ever when I was younger (the fact that I was just getting into pulp at the time probably helped)
Obv not suitable for parenthood
what a nasty thing to write, shame on you an you for posting in the first place
jarvis did right in 1996
he acted on the courage of his convictions against a known pedophile surrounding himself with children
it was ridiculous for him to have been detained!
jarvis has never been charged with child molestation or dangled an infant out a window
go jarvis!
(wish he HAD mooned him!)
Jarvis acted like a pure coward, he wanted a bit of publicity. I prefer MJ or James Brown kitschy ways to Jarvis cocker indie snob ways! We dont need a self righteous Jarvis Cocker!how boring! how classless! and Im even not a MJ fans, but Jarvis dissappointed me there!
It wasn’t about the molestation case and Michael Jackson is not a pedophile.
“He was pretending to be Jesus – I’m not religious but I think, as a performer myself, the idea of someone pretending to have the power of healing is just not right,” Cocker said.
That’s disrespectful,FUCK JARVIS COCK AND THE WHITE RACE,you are jealous of Michael Jackson.
@rebecca & lolla – You are two very misinformed people. MJ was not a paedophile and was never hurting kids. You would do yourself a favour to read some trial-reporting on these allegations. The only reason the media could write about child-molestation allegations was due to the greedy, lowlife parents of the youngsters. Teenagers, the parent(s) thought nothing better of, than use for false statements. Do some fact-finding instead of leaning on sensationalism as a source, there are plenty of well-written articles to dispute your repetition on tabloid trash..
