"i'VE GOT IT - MICHAEL"

“My experience with Marlon and Brandon didn’t dissuade me from getting pregnant again. The following year August 29, I gave birth to another boy. I remember that day well… my neighbor Mildred White and I were driving over to see the new grammar school under construction, Garnett Elementary. At my request Mildred drove me home. I called my mother and she and my stepfather drove me to Mercy Hospital. Shortly after I got there, I began having contractions. Later that night, my son was born. ‘I want to name him,’ my mother said. I hated her first suggestion: Ronald. ‘How about Roy, then?’ ‘Oh, my gosh, Mama, no.’ She thought for a little while. ‘I’ve got it — Michael. ‘That’s it!,’ I said. By then I was used to seeing my babies born with funny looking heads, so I wasn’t alarmed by Michael’s. The two other things I remember about him as I held him in my arms for the first time were his big brown eyes and his long hands, which reminded me of my father-in-law’s.”~ Katherine Jackson

NOBLE

"The more I watched him the more I loved him. He was simply magic. He was the most noble person in the world. No man on Earth can compare to his inner and outer beauty. I met so many stars, talked to them, worked with them, but no one was even close to Michael's charisma. ~ Ruska Bergman

ENERGY AND SPIRIT

"I'll always remember how he wasn't a man of many words but he didn't have to, because his energy and spirit would totally light up a room." ~ Patti LaBelle

TARGET

"This was someone who as a person, loved to see a child smile. Loved to see a child from the inner city who was growing up in poverty and violenco come to Neverland and look at a giraffe and smile and look at an an elephant and smile. Get some free ice cream and just be happy. It just meant a lot to Michael because he was a very good person. But unfortunately when you're that much of a genius, and you're that wealthy, all of the sharks are going to come forward, and when you combine with that a certain level of naivety, a person who just didn't want to be wrapped up in money matters all of the time or legal matters. He wanted to do creative things, he wanted to do humanitarian things. That makes him even more of a target for frivolous lawsuits and frivolous claims" ~ Thomas Mesereau (Michaels advokat)

LEAVE THEM ALONE

"Before Michael could walk, he was feeling the beat. Michael told me that his mother, Katherine, recalls him imitating the oscillating movements of the washing machine when he was a small child.

Michael had taught himself to dance in Florsheims, and in his mind he feared that if he tried to dance in anything else, he would lose the magic in his steps.

'These are the shoes that my family could afford and what I learned to dance in,' he went on to tell me. 'I don't care what you do to my clothes, just don't touch my shoes. These are my dance shoes. I love my shoes. Leave them alone'."

THEY HAVE TO BE

"Sometimes the most sensitive people are the toughest. They have to be. Michael's made it far without compromising his integrity, and after all, that's almost an impossibility, considering how the effects of his success have to be a constant assault of his awareness." ~ John Travolta

WE'RE VERY HAPPY FOR YOU

"Your faith in God and adherence to traditional values are in inspiration to all of us. You've gained quite a number of fans along the road since 'I want you back' and Nancy and I are among them. Keep up the good work, Michael. We've very happy for you." ~ President Ronald Reagan

IT'S STUPID

"I'm sick of this whole stupid thing about, 'Do they have sex?' Somebody asked me that and I said, 'No, they just sit there, look at each other and masturbate.' I mean it's STUPID. I wish people would shut the fuck up and leave him alone." ~ Janet Jackson

IT'S ICONIC

"Did he have a favourite item?"

"Obviously, his crystal covered glove because it took on a life on its own. It's iconic. It's a Michael Jackson showpiece. No matter where you see it, you know it's about him."

SOMETHING OF AN ANGEL

"Jackson has unselfishly helped every cause, and individual child, I have sent his way. In one case he hired a circus for the Down's Syndrome children of a special school of the daughter of a friend of mine, and showed up to happily, (and yes in childlike enthusiasm), watch the show with them. This litte girl believed she was Michael's future wife, and he so kindly allowed her to sit next to him, as his future bride.

His feathers may be badly burned, and he may be damaged in other ways too, but he is something of an angel." ~ Pete Townshend

MICHAEL GOT A GIGGLE

"On the second or third day, someone brought a bag in, and out came Michael's pet snake, Muscles. We didn't know what was in the bag, so some people were a little less than comfortable when he came out, and Michael got a giggle from how people responded to Muscles. He liked to hold him in his lap, it made him feel in control. He was totally at ease when Musches was there." ~ Douglas Kirkland

MICHAEL TAUGHT ME

"When I was just starting out, my first producer used to make me listen to Michael Jackson's performance of "Who's lovin' you". He would have me watch that for hours back to back to back.

What he wanted me to learn was his soul. You could hear his soul. And he was this little kid who hadn't experienced love but he was a vessel. For whatever reason he could evoke more emotion than an adult. It was so raw and so pure. It was these little things that he did that were just swag. It's something that's God given.

Michael taught me that sometimes you have to forget technique, forget what you have on. If you feel silly, you have to go from the gut just let it go.

Michael Jackson changed me, and helped me to become the artist I am – thank you Michael."

~ Beyoncé
