Michael Jackson gave his first public performance Wednesday since his
acquittal on child molestation
charges a year-and-a-half ago - a fleeting rendition of "We are the World"
surrounded by youthful singers.
Jackson sang at the World Music Awards in London, which was honoring
him with an award commemorating the 25th anniversary of his hugely popular
album, "Thriller."
But the reclusive pop icon, who has been traveling in Europe since his
June 2005 acquittal in California, did not perform the album title song as
some expected. Instead he appeared on stage and sang among a group of
swaying, clapping kids.
"There have been so many people who have loved me and stood by me. I
love all the fans from the bottom of my heart," Jackson said before
flinging his black jacket into the crowd and exiting the stage.
Earlier, Jackson's appearance outside the Earl's Court Arena in west
London inspired glee and bedlam among hundreds of fans, who scrambled for
photos and reached out to touch his gloved hand.
Jackson, clad in black and wearing his trademark shades, also spoke
briefly to journalists. But the roar of the crowd combined with the
singer's own low-decibel delivery ensured few could hear anything he said.
Asked where he has been living, Jackson replied: "All over the place."
Jackson has spent time in Bahrain and Ireland since he was acquitted,
making few public appearances.
Jackson's "Thriller" album won eight Grammy Awards and sold more than
50 million copies.

邁克爾·杰克遜自去年六月被宣判“猥褻兒童案”無罪以來，于本周三首次在公開場合露面并表演，他在一群年輕歌手的簇擁下演唱了一小段《天下一家》（We
are the World）。
為了紀念杰克遜轟動一時的專輯《顫栗》（Thriller）面世25周年，本周三在倫敦舉行的世界音樂獎頒獎典禮授予了他一項鉆石大獎，杰克遜出席了典禮并登臺演唱。
這位流行巨星自去年6月在加利福尼亞被宣判無罪以來，一直在歐洲旅行，很久沒有露面。但在周三的頒獎典禮上，杰克遜并沒有演唱專輯《顫栗》中的同名單曲，而是在一群年輕歌迷的簇擁下登臺演唱了另一首歌。
杰克遜說：“一直以來，我受到很多歌迷的關愛和支持，我發自內心的愛你們。”接著，他把自己的黑色夾克扔向歌迷，然后退下舞臺。
當他出現在頒獎典禮舉辦地倫敦西部的伯爵宮外時，在場的幾百個歌迷陷入一陣“混亂”，他們搶著給杰克遜拍照，還伸出手來爭著和他"握"手。
杰克遜穿著一身黑色衣服，戴著他的“招牌”墨鏡，對于記者的提問也是簡而答之。但歌迷的歡呼聲都把杰克遜的聲音蓋住了，幾乎沒人能聽見他在說什么。
記者問他這一年多都呆在什么地方，他說：“到處走。”
杰克遜自去年被宣判無罪以來一直居住在巴林和愛爾蘭，很少公開露面。
杰克遜的經典專輯《顫栗》曾獲得八項格萊美大獎，銷量超過5000萬張。
