Watching Michael dance- you understand why I sit on my stool. -- Marvin Gaye

^ Haha

I love it when someone like Stevie says something like that - I mean you can't get much higher praise in the industry than Stevie Wonder can you.

Darn, I saw a great quote from Lionel Ritchie but can't find it now.

"Michael Jackson is the most gifted entertainer to come down the pike since, I guess, James Dean. He's a brilliant actor and dancer, probably one of the rarest entertainers I have ever worked with. His talent is awesome." ~ Sidney Lumet

^ Wonderful quote. "Brilliant actor" Wow!

Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life. He made me believe in magic. - Puffy

From the memorial program:

My brother Michael was always pushing it to the sky, as far as it could go. Michael put his heart and soul into his music, his family, and into his work of always helping others.

You’ve done your work here, Michael; you’ve entertained us for decades and there’s nothing else that you can prove or accomplish here on earth. You taught us how to laugh, how to love, and how to believe. God has now called for you to come home, collect your wings, and to fulfill your demands in Heaven and continue your magic amongst the angels. – La Toya

The man I came to know was a kind, gentle soul who wanted to heal the world through music, art, love, and decency. He succeeded. – Thomas Mesereau, Jr.

Tito's boys / 3T:

Uncle Michael, I can’t even begin to express how important you have been in my life. You will ALWAYS be a huge part of who I am now and what I will become in the future. I love you, Applehead. – Taj

You have filled my life with knowledge, laughter, happiness, and love. To the world, ‘Michael Jackson’ is the greatest. To me, Uncle Michael is even better. I love you beyond life. – Taryll

You taught me how to smile. You taught me how to dream. You taught me how to live. Uncle Michael, I will always cherish all of our special moments and blissful time together. I love you so much. – TJ

MJ himself:

On changing history: I’m very proud that we opened doors, that it helped tear down a lot. Going around the world, doing tours, in stadiums, you see the influence of the music. When you look out over the stage, as far as the naked eye could see, you see people. And it’s a wonderful feeling, but it came with a lot of pain, a lot of pain.

On the creative process: The key to being a wonderful writer is not to write. Leave room for God to walk in the room. You just get out of the way.

All the quotes from the Memorial program are amazing, but always make me incredibly sad.

I started crying at La Toya's and can't stop doing it

The way he talks about himself

This will never be ok

him gone will never ever be ok in my heart

For some reason, I liked Tito's boys' words more than the others kids'.

Then again, I suppose Tito's kids are older than most of the others.

Toya surprisingly had some beautiful words for MJ. I admit I didn't expect anything that beautiful to come from her.

I love the quotes

Exactly. That was what got me. I wasn't expecting anything not even close to that from her and while I was reading I was actually crying. She really did have some nice and beautiful things to say about her brother. Which makes me feel bad for talking about her so much. She has done a lot of bad things, but he was her brother and him being the caring and loving person he was. I can only imagine how hard it's been for her too.

Toya's words were beautiful

I was surprised too.

Leave room for God to walk in the room. You just get out of the way.
I.love.this. So much

I love the way he spoke. He was brilliant with words.

shamone · 08-26-2009, 03:02 PM

love that

he really was brilliant

"Why do you wear 500 belts at a time?"
"Girl, you think this is too much? Wait til you see my other pants," Michael reasoned.

shamone · 08-26-2009, 09:27 PM

Did he really say that??

When did he say that?

Blinkybill · 08-26-2009, 09:43 PM

I love all the quotes but those from his 3 nephews =

built to spill · 08-28-2009, 12:02 AM

Omg, I love him so freaking much

Quote:

Moving your body is an art. Dancing is really showing your emotions through bodily movement. It’s a wonderful thing to get on the floor and just to feel free and do what you want to and just let it come out… It’s escapism, getting away from everything and just moving the body and letting all the tension and pain out.
