HIS WORK ETHIC WAS LEGENDARY

 
"He was a great guy. He was funny. He had a great sense of humor and his work ethic was legendary. He wasn't a person to sit back and let somebody else determine, you know. He liked input, but he would have the final say and he had a great instinct and he knew what was best for him. He knew what worked for him." ~ Regissören Spike Lee om inspelningen av musikvideon "They don't care about us"

HE HAD THAT INNER LIGHT

 

"We had many talks about that (his looks). He had that inner light and he always considered himself to be extremely ugly. He said he's not a handsome man. 'That's why I don't do interviews and I don't go on talk shows.' He said 'First of all, I don't lead an interesting life. I work all of the time' and that's what he did, he worked all of the time. He never did really understand that he had that inner light." ~ David Nordahl

KINESTHETIC BEAUTY


"Michael is so graceful he can transmute a ghetto handslap into a gesture of kinesthetic beauty. He's so fast, he makes your eyes blur. His charge is so electro-ecstatic that he flickers with a weird vibratory aura." ~ People Magazine (1984)

HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO BE ECCENTRIC AND DIFFERENT

 
Michael was the world’s greatest genius in the entertainment arena. He was a singer and a dancer and a choreographer beyond comparison. Fred Astaire said that he was the greatest dancer he ever saw - and Michael never took a dance lesson! His choreography; you can’t compare it with anyone. The risks he took, the things he imagined, the things he put into practice … Everything he did in the creative arts was just magnificent and beyond comparison. And for people to take a genius who sees things that we don’t see, and hears things we don’t hear, and does things that we can’t do, and criticize that genius for being eccentric or different, I don’t find acceptable. He was one of the greatest geniuses in history, and he had every right to be eccentric and different as far as I’m concerned. ~ Thomas Mesereau

THAT BOY'S GOT THE BLUES

 
Michael will never lose the quality that separates the merely sentimental from the truly heartfelt. It’s rooted in the blues, and no matter what genre Michael is singing, that boy’s got the blues. ~ Marvin Gaye

CHRIS TUCKER

 
"He was the nicest guy ever, man."

REFLECT

 
I am more critical about how Michael was treated, more than anything else. I think that he was an angel sent to us, and I think that we might have to reflect on how well we took care of him. People like to say, “Oh, people around him were bad and they didn’t do right by him.” But I think this is collective too. Because I don’t know the last time, and I can’t remember any other artist that attracted that much energy and projected that much power. That was that creative, and affected so many people, and was such a diplomat for America, and a champion for American culture, and African-American people worldwide. People wanted to move to America because of Michael Jackson. Industry changed, the music industry changed, because of Michael Jackson. That’s a gift to us, and, you know, I am concerned that the Good Lord may not send another one because we did not take good care of him ~ Wesley Snipes

A THOUSAND YEARS FROM NOW


"A thousand years from now when the history of popular music is examined no single performer will be as remembered and as celebrated as Michael Jackson." ~ Prins Albert av Monaco

WILL.I.AM IMPRESSION

 
Haha!

JOHNNY DEPP

"HI. I AM MICHAEL"

 
"I greeted Michael and shook his hand. He returned my handshake gently but firmly. At that moment, something astonishing happened. My whole nervousness and fear disappeared in the very instant that he touched me. After I had introduced myself, Michael replied quietly, ‘Hi. I am Michael.’ This almost distracted me, as I found this gesture unbelievably cute. In order to not lose my head, I explained to Michael who I was and why I was here: to present the Golden Otto Award, as the Bravo readers clearly thought that he deserved it the most. Michael very carefully took the award and admired it at length. (It was a little Indian). ‘Oh, he is so cute!’ he called out and offered his heartfelt thank you. I got the impression that it really meant a lot to him. ‘I know,’ I replied and grinned. ‘I wanted to keep it for myself you know,’ I teased. Michael giggled and bit his lips. I didn’t know what to do, so it seemed to me that honesty would be the best solution. So I admitted that I was quite shy and very, very nervous because of all the people around and the cameras. I didn’t want to tell him that he was the primary cause for my nervousness, that would have been too embarrassing. Michael opened his mouth, clearly surprised and abruptly, I was pulled into his arms. ‘You don’t need to be nervous. We’ll get through it together", he whispered and patted my shoulder. While we posed for the photos, he told me in a whisper that he still wasn’t used to all of this and that he was so very nervous and shy himself. ‘They always think that somebody wants to kill me’, he added quietly and rolled his eyes, his gaze now fixed on his bodyguards nearby." ~ Silke Milpauer

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE OM MICHAEL

THE ARMBAND

     
     
     
 
"Michael says he's going to wear the armband as long as there is even one hungry child left in the world."

WE HAD HIM

  
  
  
 
"He thrived with passion and compassion, humor and style. We had him whether we know who he was or did not know, he was ours and we were his." ~ Maya Angelou
