Madonna and Michael Jackson had a brief romantic relationship and it was all part of a collaboration. This song gave rise to the media moment.
On the night of the 1991 Academy Awards, the red carpet shined with two of the most popular personalities in the 1980s and 1990s: Madonna and Michael Jackson.
Pop royalty had attended the awards – as a couple!
She in a Bob Mackie look inspired by Marilyn Monroe and he in an extravagant black and white suit.
They immediately became the center of attention of the ceremony, leaving questions unanswered and deploying endless theories to explain it.
What seemed to be a fairy tale would later become a horror story.
The kings intended to collaborate for the song “In The Closet”, however, as they were not compatible in ideas and rhythms, they abandoned the mission.
In an interview with James Corden during his popular Carpool Karaoke segment, Madonna confessed to having kissed Michael during their short relationship.
In addition, she explained that she was the one who took the first step, because the owner of Neverland was a bit “shameful.”
The romance was so fleeting that it lasted only a few weeks. After the Oscars ceremony, the couple was spotted once again during an outing in Los Angeles.
Eventually, the King debuted his album “Dangerous” with the discord song as part of the chart and it became a smash hit. Madonna was replaced by Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, who contributed anonymously.
