- Michael Jackson was extraordinary. When we worked together on Bad, I was in awe of his absolute mastery of movement on the one hand, and of the संगीत on the other. Every step he took was absolutely precise and fluid at the same time. It was like watching quicksilver in motion. He was wonderful to work with, an absolute professional at all times, and - it really goes without saying - a true artist. It will be a while before I can get used to the idea that he's no longer with us.
Martin Scorsese, in "Music World Mourns Michael Jackson's Death: Madonna, Britney, Justin & Many और Paid Tribute" (26 June 2009)
- We maintained our relationship for so long because it was never not real. People expect anything in entertainment या Hollywood to be transient, and it's not as interesting a story for us to have been lifelong friends. People want sordid details या they want big blowups, and the truth of the matter is, from the time we met when I was 13, we understood each other and became very good friends, and that was it, we didn't need to make it into anything else. ... I was just out of college, and wanting to fall in प्यार and have a fairy tale, I was holding on to that. He just felt so bad that there were so many little children in Romania in these orphanages, and he wanted to try to give them homes, and I really wanted to be able to do that with him, but it would have divided my life too much.
I hope when आप write this, it doesn't sound freakish. What it was was a young man who kept reaching to try to find happiness. I think he wanted to take his resources and make a difference to other people in their lives, and he knew that I wanted to do that in the world, too, so he would reach out to someone like me and say, "How can we make a difference, it's easier to adopt a child if you're two people." He never said, formally, "Will आप marry me," it was never that for me, he never was that definitive, but I think he was a guy who kept searching for happiness.
The problem is when आप try to bring that out and in this society, it turns into a tabloid sentence, which is, "He wanted Brooke Shields to live with him and adopt babies," and it sounds ridiculous. And it never was that clear-cut. He found people he loved in his life and he didn't want to let go of them and he wanted them all to live together because he didn't want to go out into the outside world, which was so cruel and too much to handle, and it makes sense.
Brooke Shields, "Michael Jackson Remembered : Brooke Shields on King of Pop's "Pure Soul" in Rolling Stone (13 July 2009)
- Michael Jackson was one of the most talented and dynamic performer/singer/songwriters I ever had the pleasure of working with, he was amazing. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding his personal life in हाल का years overshadowed his unparalleled contributions to the संगीत world, which is a tragedy in and of itself. But his संगीत will live on forever no matter what and his memory will be adored and admired for years to come.
स्लैश speaking to "MTV News" on the passing of Michael Jackson (26 June 2009)
- I was so excited to see his दिखाना in London. We were going to be on tour in युरोप at the same time and I was going to fly in to see him. He has been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I'm devastated he's gone!
Britney Spears, in "Justin Timberlake praises Jackson's musical genius" in People (26 June 2009)
- We have लॉस्ट a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop संगीत but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations, and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about संगीत from him and the time we spent together. My दिल goes out to his family and loved ones.
Justin Timberlake, on his website (26 June 2009)
- I saw how kind he was and what a wonderful human being. I saw him with his children and I had never seen a better father. … He always कहा to me, "I want people to really know who I am after I'm gone."… He wanted to be remembered as a great human being and he wanted to create as many happy places for the children of the world as he could.
"Dr." Tohme Tohme, Michael Jackson’s last business manager and spokesperson, in an Associated Press interview (4 July 2009)
- I would not be the artist, performer, and philanthropist I am today without the influence of Michael. I have great admiration and respect for Him and I’m so thankful I had the opportunity to meet and perform with such a great entertainer In so many ways he transcended culture. He broke barriers, he changed radio formats! With music, he made it possible for people like Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama to impact the mainstream world. His legacy is unparalleled Michael Jackson will never be forgotten.
Usher, in "Music World Mourns Michael Jackson's Death: Madonna, Britney, Justin & Many और Paid Tribute" (26 June 2009)
- I have never felt this before in my life. I could measure my childhood 2 now on an mj growth chart. if this is true.The last legend.
Pete Wentz, on his Twitter page (26 June 2009)
- Now the King of Pop must bow his knee to the King of Kings.
Rev. Lucious Smith, Michael Jackson's memorial service (7 July 2009)
- However आप felt about the man, whatever your opinions are, I believe we—as a people—should make a rule that once आप die … whatever derisive nickname that we used for you, it dies with you. So can we stop calling him 'Jacko' now? … After आप die, can a brother get a 'Mr. Jackson'?
Intro - RIP Jacko Nickname. The Daily दिखाना official website. (2009-06-29).
- Years पूर्व Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.
I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.
At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."
I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.
14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an रोगी वाहन, एम्बुलेंस leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.
A predicted ending द्वारा him, द्वारा loved ones and द्वारा me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.
The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.
All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never कहा before because I want the truth out there for once.
Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live या know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could प्यार anyone and I loved him very much.
I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.
His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.
At that time, In trying to save him, I almost लॉस्ट myself.
He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.
When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.
Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a सेकंड enter Michael Jackson's being या actions.
I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful वैंपायर and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.
I was in over my head while trying.
I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.
The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop या reverse it somehow.
After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.
Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.
At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.
As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play द्वारा play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.
Any ill experience या words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.
He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.
I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.
He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place या will be.
I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.
The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some दिन और than anyone else knew, and he was right.
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for आप to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells आप never be afraid
Then somewhere in your दिल आप can feel the glow
A light to keep आप warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My तारा, स्टार secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells आप never be afraid
Then somewhere in your दिल आप can feel the glow
A light to keep आप warm when the night winds blow
Look for the इंद्रधनुष in the sky
I believe आप and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever आप may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever आप may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me

Dr. Conrad Murray won't just face the judge in his manslaughter case on Monday -- we're told an army of MJ प्रशंसकों plans a little surprise of its own ... in the protest department.
A rep for Justice4MJ -- the प्रशंसक group planning the demonstration -- tells TMZ that scores of Jackson प्रशंसकों plan to attend ... and it's all going down on the freeway overpass near the L.A. courthouse.
We're told when the hearing ends ... the protesters plan to march from the courthouse -- then quickly विभाजित करें, विभक्त करें for the overpasses as Murray makes his exit. They will bid Dr. Murray adieu as he drives off -- probably not in the friendliest of ways.
But we're guessing the protest is the least of Dr. Murray's worries.

The family is always targeted द्वारा the publicity and it certainly is not always the best and suffering of these people and of course even और unfortunate mother लॉस्ट a तारा, स्टार in the life ...
Yesterday in court in Los Angeles where he went to the doctor, his mother Katherine was the तारा, स्टार rampage showed pain and anger and inconvenience we almost faint.
We hope soon to illuminate the mysterious but very interesting case and to calm his relatives adikochamenou and famous and beloved singer सील, मुहर an entire season with his presence and with songs and संगीत and will remain unforgettable in the hearts of all world.
You're dancing through the दिन
You're grabbing for the magic on the run
You're a whole new generation
You're lovin' what आप do
Put a Pepsi in the motion
That choice is up to आप

Hey-hey
You're the Pepsi Generation
Guzzle down and
Taste the thrill of the दिन
And feel the Pepsi way
Taste the thrill of the दिन
And feel the Pepsi way
You're a whole new generation [x3]

Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like कैन्डी to a child
Stay here and प्यार me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
आप made my life brand new
लॉस्ट as a little lam was I, till आप came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like कैन्डी to a child
Stay here and प्यार me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I कहा a prayer so silently
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Till now
Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy
happy oh yeah Happy
[fade out]
