- He always wanted to just bring people together… And the concept came about holding hands, like uniting, making this long chain, people getting together…that connection as one. … "This life don’t last forever" (verse from song) ... Ты gotta make the best of it and leave something behind that people can really cherish.
Akon, on the unreleased song "Hold My Hand"
- You're an angry dancer. There's rage in your feet.
Фред Astaire, after watching Jackson's performance at Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever (25 March 1983)
-We're close, he's a good friend of mine, we definitely have a connection that most people don't have...
Macaulay Culkin, "Young Adult Fiction" (March 5, 2006)
- In some ways Michael reminds me of the walking wounded. He's an extremely fragile person. I think that just getting on with life, making contact with people, is hard enough, much less to be worried about whither goest the world.
Jane Fonda in "Michael Jackson - Life in the magical kingdom",Rolling Stone (17 February 1983)
- He was so energetic that at five years old, he was like a leader. We saw that. So we said, 'Hey, Michael, Ты be the lead guy.' The audience ate it up. He was into those James Brown things at the time, Ты know. The speed was the thing. He would see somebody do something, and he could do it right away.
Jackie Jackson in "Michael Jackson - Life in the magical kingdom",Rolling Stone (17 February 1983)
- It was sort of frightening. He was so young. He didn't go out and play much. So if Ты want me to tell Ты the truth, I don't know where he got it. He just knew.
Katherine Jackson in "Michael Jackson - Life in the magical kingdom",Rolling Stone (17 February 1983)
- He is a very smart cookie, Michael. He knows what he wants, he knows what he is doing. I have nothing but admiration. Also, he is a very kind person.
Elton John, interviewed on 100 Greatest Artists of Rock & Roll (1 May 1998)
- I'm upset at the way he's being treated in the media. I think they're really trying to slander his name, and I really think that's unfair for the way that he's contributed to the American culture since the день he was born. I think he deserves much еще than that.
Alicia Keys, "Alicia Keys, LL Cool J, Ludacris Denounce Treatment Of Jackson" (November 21, 2003)
- What I'm asking is whether this is still a country where a peculiar person such as Michael Jackson can get a fair shake and be considered innocent until proven guilty ... или is this just a 21st-century American скотный двор, коровник where we all feel free to turn on the moonwalking rooster ... and peck it to death?
Stephen King, in "You Don't Know Jackson" (13 February 2004)
- This came down to a prosecutor either so sure Jackson was bad или so offended by Jackson's combination of celebrity and wackiness that he rushed into a case that looked shaky from hello. It looked worse as Tom Sneddon went along, and had become nearly ludicrous by the time Jackson's ex-wife left the stand. No matter how pure Sneddon's motives may have been (and I'm not saying they were, believe me), he began to look like a man pursuing a vendetta, one whose chief hope of securing a conviction lay in the obvious fact that the trial was a sideshow and the accused was ... well, a freak.
The media first turned the trial into a freak-show by emphasizing Jackson's peculiarities rather than his humanity, and stoked the ratings with constant, trivializing coverage while other, far еще important stories went under-reported или completely ignored in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, and Washington, D.C. The press might respond by saying, We gave the people what they wanted. My response would be, My job is to give them what they want.
When he steps into a recording studio, it's Michael Jackson's job to give them what they want. Your job is to give the people what they need.
Stephen King, in "The Sideshow Has Left Town" (14 June 2005)
- I always looked up to him--and my dad--since I was a little boy.
Lil' Romeo, "Re-Beat It" (August 24, 2001)
- He dances with the breathtaking verve of his predecessor James Brown, the beguiling wispiness of Diana Ross, the ungainly pathos of Charlie Chaplin, the edgy joy of a man startled to be alive
Jim Miller, as quoted in Newsweek (16 July 1984)
- He is not Peter Pan. He is a full-grown freak. And he must pay.
Andrea Peyser, "Guilty: Don't Let the Freak Fool You". New York Post (March 2005), after two days of trial testimony in People v. Jackson
- We stand up and the judge leaves, and Michael turns to me and says, "Bob, the jury system is much older than 200 years, isn't it?" I said, 'Well, yeah, it goes back to the Greeks." He says, "Oh yeah, Socrates had a jury trial, didn't he?" I said, "Yeah, well, Ты know how it turned out for him." Michael says, "Yeah, he had to drink the hemlock." That's just one little tidbit. We talked about psychology, Freud and Jung, Hawthorne, sociology, black history and sociology dealing with race issues. But he was very well read in the classics of psychology and history and literature.
Bob Sanger, one of Michael Jackson's lawyers during his 2005 trial, in "Michael Jackson's Lawyer, Bob Sanger, Talks to West Coast Sound About the Pop Star, His Life -- and His Чтение Habits" (25 June 2005)
- He's sort of a желтовато-коричневый, палевый in a burning forest. It's a nice place where Michael comes from. I wish we could all spend some time in his world.
Steven Spielberg, "Why He's a Thriller" (March 19, 1984)
- Everyone's thinking they're the new W. Axl Rose, just running their mouths and living in this world where nothing is real. Like, it's really easy to write a couple of songs, but that doesn't mean Ты get to run your mouth. The only guy who can do that is Michael Jackson. He wrote Thriller, so he can say whatever the fuck he wants.
Pete Wentz, "Fall Out Boy/ Killers Beef Gives Birth To A Song" (October 7, 2005)
- I could never decide whether I wanted to be Michael Jackson или marry him. I don't care what people say about him now because he's a fucking genius. That's it - the end!
Amy Winehouse, "Frank opinions" (27 February 2004)

August 29 came the birth of a boy
He would later fill the world with joy
The год was 1958
This boy was going to be something great
the years went by he learnt to sing and dance
Anyone who saw him was put in a trance
"He is fantastic" they would say real keen
Never such talent had been seen
As he grew older he became еще beautiful
And everything he did was simply delightful
The man I speak of
The man I love
Was sent to us from up above
Michael Jackson is his name
Never will anyone have such fame
Ты are my Энджел I will Любовь Ты FOREVER
My сердце will leave Ты Michael NEVER×××××

We must give a helping hand
Whatever happen to our heroes
They must get another chance
(We can do it again)
We drove close, closer and closer
And even though we’re almost there
Ты are all I need in my life
Ты are all I dream here at night
Close your eyes imagine I’m taking Ты away
Tonight
Come together all the people (we can do it now)
Here’s your chance to make it right (go, take a chance)
And even though we’re gettin’ close
We’re not there just yet
And even though we’re almost there
Ты are all I need in my life
Ты are all I dream here at night
Close your eyes imagine I’m taking Ты away
Then one еще time close your eyes
I’m always here to stay
(oh)
Tonight
(I’m always here)
(Oh I)
(I’m always here)
We can do it again
(I’m always here)
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon
