Be sure to check out WatchMojo’s 2-part series on Michael Jackson which might give you a little more insight into the King of Pop. Here’s more on MJ and Madonna from NineMSN:
Michael Jackson and Madonna would have made a sweet couple in the 90s - that is, if Jacko was interested!
Taped coversations with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach are the basis for new book The Michael Jackson Tapes, where details about the late King Of Pop’s life are laid bare - including his diss of the veteran pop diva.
“I think she (Madonna) likes shock value and she knows how to push buttons on people,” Michael said in the 2001 conversation, where he spoke of the time he and Madonna went on several dates a decade earlier.
“I think she was sincerely in love with me and I was not in love with her. She did a lot of crazy things. I knew we had nothing in common.
“She is not sexy at all. I think sexy comes from the heart in the way you present yourself.”
MJ said Madonna was also jealous of his fame at the time. “They admire you and know you are wonderful and great because they are jealous, because they wish they were in your shoes.
“Madonna is one of them. She is jealous. She is a girl, a woman and I think that’s what bothers her… I get the fainting and adulation and she doesn’t.”
So who set MJ’s heart on fire, then? Elizabeth Taylor! He confessed he’d considered dating the Hollywood legend but was scared that the media would make fun of their 27-year age gap.
“I know that if we ever did anything romantically the press would be so mean and nasty and call us the Odd Couple,” he said. “It would turn into a circus and that’s the pain of it all.”
He said the late Princess Diana was his ideal woman: “I thought she was very special - very feminine and classy. She was my type for sure, and I don’t like most girls. There are very few I like who fit the mould. It takes a very special mould to make me happy and she was one of them.”
In the book, Michael is quoted detailing the brutal beatings he received from his father, as well as his fear of aging.
“I don’t want to grow old,” he said. “I never want to look in the mirror and see that.”
