Michael Jackson is engrained in people’s memories whether it is for his singing, dancing, or character. We wanted to know what were some of the most beautiful memories people have of Michael Jackson.

Mario: “There are so many moments of micheal’s career that made me a fan! The most memorable moment would have to be his “Ben” TV performance. I felt his soul at a young age. I was very young when I saw so in a way I grew up with him.”

Britney Spears: “I was so excited to see his show in London. We were going to be on tour in Europe 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!”

Chris Brown: “Michael Jackson is the reason why I do music and why I am an entertainer.  I am devastated by this great loss, and I will continue to be humbled and inspired by his legacy. My prayers are with his family.  Michael will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.  He’s the greatest… the best ever.  No one will ever be better.”

R. Kelly (wrote “You Are Not Alone”): “I am truly saddened that my Mentor, Brother and Friend will no longer be with us physically. At the same time, I feel so blessed to have been touched by his Music, his Dance, his Lyrics, and his Pure Genius. It is because of Michael’s yesterday that I am who I am today! “

“My condolences to his family and friends around the world. Michael Jackson Rest in Peace and may your music and legacy forever reign on earth!”

Usher: “This loss has deeply saddened me! It is with a heavy heart I composed this statement. May God cover you Michael. We all lift your name up in prayer. I pray for the entire JACKSON family particularly Michael’s mother, children and all his fans that loved him so much. 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, who in so many ways, transcended the 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.”

Brian White: “The world has lost a true icon.   Michael’s music was a staple in the soundtrack of my youth and I have been a fan of “The King of Pop” since as early back as I can recall.   It made me smile to reflect on the memory of how my sisters and I would wear out my mom’s floors back in the day trying to perfect the Moonwalk!  May Michael’s inspiration and message live on forever through his music.  My wishes of strength, peace and blessings to his family and loved ones.”

LEZ: “I had the pleasure of dancing side-by-side one of the most incredible entertainers we will ever see in our lifetime. He was every bit of a kind, “normal” & humorous man that people didn’t want you to see.

All of the people who had their hands in his pockets while he was alive, are not going to let this man rest in peace. The drama has really just begun & it’s sad that in life & in death Michael Jackson may never be at peace.

Michael is finally free; free from speculation, free from judgment, free from being pulled in more directions than any human being should stand. He’s free to be the boy, the man, the talent that he was meant to be.

I pray that the predators will not take this time to degrade the universe’s most important & influential icon of our time! I am glad to have been able to experience, witness & perform next to the greatest!”

Donielle Artese: “My father, Bobby Taylor, was an original Motown act (Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers), and he saw the Jackson 5 at the Apollo and brought them to his apt in Detroit. He had promised he would get them an audition at Motown, so he called Suzanne Depasse to see them so she could help them try to persuade Berry to see them…the rest is history! Then, I met MJ when I was doing his video, and told him who my father was, he flipped out!!!! He asked me to find my father and tell him thank you and that none of his career would have been possible without my father–I highly doubt that! But I did find him. There’s more, like when I did the musical Sisterella, produced by MJJ productions and we had the wrap party at Neverland Ranch. So devastating.”

Charlie Wilson: “You can’t talk about music without talking about Michael Jackson.  His music touched people around the world.  I have some personal memories of spending time with members of his family over the years and will continue to pray for his children, his brothers and sisters and his parents.  He will be missed.”

    My most beautiful memory of Michael Jackson is seeing his smile in my mind’s eye. I have cried each morning I wake for two days now because I know I will only see it in my mind’s eye or a photo because we have lost a beautiful musical genius and dancer. The video “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough” shows the magic of just Michael’s smile, and the way he moves his body in song. I love you Michael Jackson. Rest in peace

    Hmmm, my favorite memory of mike would have to be when I went to the 87′ Bad concert in Minneapolis,Mn. I was only four and it was one of my FIRST things that i could actually remember in life… I’m soooo shocked that he is actually gone and I feel like I lost apart of myself since he was the first entertainer that I wanted to be like… dance like… sing like… My prayers been with the family and I pray that he had a chance to get things right with God so what he can be at peace.

    My favroite memeber of MJ was when Motown 25 came on and Me and my family watch it and when MJ did the moonwalk, i ran up to the tv see if he had on wheels his shoes and i ask my mom and dad how did he do that and did he have wheels on his shoes, they told me no he don’t have wheels on his shoes but that he was a great dancer. And from then on i was a fan and i had the red jacket and the jerrycurl too. Now that THE KING OF MUSIC IS GONE, My heart is sad and I want to say to all the Press people that are reporting: ALL OF THE PRESS CAN GET THE MIDDLE FINGER. Because all ya want to do is talk about his money,legal trouble, but ya don’t want to talk about all his great music or how he gave back to people that was in need, ya just want to talk about the bad. The press wouldn’t let him have peace in life,So why can’t ya let him have Peace in death. I know that MJ is in a better place and he is going to be truly miss and love. So Michael Jackson I want you to “R.I.P.THE KING OF MUSIC FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have been a fan since 1972. I have raised my kids on Micheeal. My velvet poster was past down to my middle child. from the 70s. I was teaching my grandkids how to moonwalk just a few months ago. I remember watching him on the Lawrence Welk show and the Carol Burnett show. Laughins. And my family also sang and my mom made us sing as hard as they. Of course we only practiced 4 hours a day. They were all boys. we had 3 girls and 2 boys and my mom was Joe. I had every album and I past them to my kids. When I changed locations I lost my storage and some happy person got all my music. So I have been working to get it all back and on the msn network I saw the albums I was yet missing. I will Miss my micheal.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/qeutiepei/ qeutiepei

And his friend comes over to watch the vids of micheal. says thats his inspiration for dancing. only 12. So now i have to buy a lot of vids so they can continue to see him and dance.

    My most memorable moment was when he was on stage with James Brown and did not know it was michael who put the cape on him.The way his face looked when he saw Michael was so memorable.But when Michael was expressing himself about how he loved JB he started to cry I lost it right with him.I LOVED ME SOME MICHAEL JACKSON.I remember in the seventies I use to get these Right On Magazines and I remember trying to write letters to Michael and the Jackson Five then.I rmember getting a letter back (of course I knew it was’nt from them) but I was so excited I could not sleep.But anyway thise are some of my favorites.I cried like I lost a brother.R.I.P Michael Jackson Umh!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/addictive4_08/ addictive4_08

    My favorite song among many is a song I dont know if many people are familiar with the name of it is:Someone put your hand out listen to it please it tells you a lot about Michael.Here are some of the lyrics:
    I’m so undemanding
    ’cause they say love is blind
    I’ve lived this life pretending
    I can bear this hurt deep inside
    The truth is that I’m longing
    For love that’s so divine
    Time after time

    Someone put your hand out
    I’m begging for your love
    All I do is hand out
    A heart that needs your love
    So pretty!

    I met Michael and his brother’s in London in 1972.I was only 14 years old then.To think i was in the same room as them in the Hilton Hotel. Their father was not happy that me and my sister and other fans was in the room talking to his son’s! but i was too excited to take much note of their father’s remark’s towards me, I found him very rude and ignorant! but me being only 14 i was just so happy to have met the jackson five. that memory will always be with me, and may god be with all the jackson family through this sad time!! “R.I.P. the greatest of all time.U will never B 4 gotten!

    A Tribute To Micheal Jackson:

    Thursday Of yesterday, turned out to be a sad day,

    The world came together and witnessed, A living legend go away.

    Micheal brought a lot of love, and He entertained me,

    He was the greatest entertainer – that this world will ever see.

    I can imagine when God called him, God must have needed him there,

    To sing tenor in the choir – and entertain in dreams every where.

    The songs that Micheal sang – As I think, they’ll remain -

    To bring tears to my eyes, because they’ve healed a lot of pain.

    What really got my attention – Is how the media tried to destroy,

    The anointing that God had placed – on this anointed little boy.

    The world can never take away, but it can set out to hurt,

    And try to destroy the seed of God – before It catch root in the dirt.

    They crucified my Jesus, and made Micheal head drop,

    As they crowned him with accusations – then called him the king of pop.

    Micheal Jackson just may be dead, but his spirit will never be gone,

    He left a musical legacy – that will forever carry on.

    The departure of his body, I guess it’s the thought that will forever hurt,

    But remember the seeds God plant – He plant them deep down in the dirt.

    One day God will call our number, and our time will finally come,

    We’ll have to stand in the line of judgment, and give account for all we’ve done.

    Give account for all deceit, give account for all the lies,,

    Give account for all the times – we’ve committed adultery on our wives.

    We have to bear fruit, as we’ve read our Jesus say,

    One of the greatest fruit of all – Is love your enemy every day.

    The deeds that Micheal done – proves He was an anointed son,

    Of The One and Only Jesus – that’s soon yet to come.

    I can imagine the angels spirits, as Micheal arrived home on this day,

    They’re throwing a party up in Heaven, because Micheal’s finally home to stay.

    Now there’s no more worries, his credit line has reached perfection,

    And no more lawyers can hold their hands out – and expect any kind of collection.

    When God pay off your bills – yes in deed your bills are paid,

    You’ll have a greater award in Heaven – than on earth you could have ever made.

    The time you spent crying – wipe your eyes and realize,

    Micheal’s at the last supper – looking the deciples in their eyes.

    Micheal passed the heavens for all the “G’s – because 2 Pac and Biggies there,

    So we have to get our bids in – while there’s still some extra chairs.

    Written By: Minister / Prophet Jerry L. Parker

    I saw Michael for the first time when I was 6 years old in 1971 on the Flip Wilson Show and I was madly in love since then and went to every concert he ever gave in New York. He has been part of my life for 40 years and I can’t stop crying since he left last week.I love him so much and miss him already.I always hoped to meet him and cant believe he left us like that and so soon.I hope I see him in heaven one day.

    My most fond memory was in 1986 I was 6 years old, and going to a M.J. concert. I had my red thriller leather jacket on and my Thriller Michael Jackson Barbie (complete with red jacket, glove, and glitter socks) and was ready!! I practiced all my moves (thinking in my young mind that I was going to meet Michael and show him my dances…lol) Boy you couldn’t tell me nothing! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the concert, it was my very 1st one!

    I can remember being like 5 years old and watching the Moon walker video. I love the whole movie I used to watch it over and over again couldn’t get enough of it, and the Smooth Criminal video had me going I would rewind it to figure out how he did that lean, lol and I will try to do it and fell on my ass, I still don’t know how he did it. But it’s like he took a big part of my childhood with him, his music is a soundtrack to my life. He is amazing and will always be loved. It’s now that he’s gone I’m realizing how much of an impact he still has on me. Oh I miss him damn Rest In Peace Michael Jackson, I really hope you find peace wherever you are.

    I love the Jackson family as if they were my own relatives. I remember when I was a little girl around the age of eight years of age ,I couldn’t wait to go to sleep at night and dream about the Jackson family . My dream was for Marlon to come to find his long lost love and Michael would be with him at the time. I, myself was not a happy child , for some reason I didn’t want to be at home with my own famiy,I dreamt the Jackson family had adopted me as one of their own . The first time Marlon set eyes on me , he fell in love with me ,we got married and the rest was history. I love Michael’s music I grown up listening to his music, buying certain brands of cereal to get his record off of the cereal box because when my mother would buy music she would never brought the Jackson Five , the only song she purchase for herself was ( I WANT YOU BACK ) LOL I guess she dedicated that one to one of her lost loves. I want every song that Michael recorded, Low and behold I befriended a girl that had each and every album that was ever recorded by The Jackson Five even Micheal when he when solo. I never heard (Dear Michael) played by the radio station. Michael Jackson went through a lot in life some good some bad but through it all he stayed strong noone ever really knew what he was going through but his creator(GOD) it’s one thing to stay that we were born to die. God puts us here for a purpose, it’s on you to seek him and find out what that purpose is. Michael had touched alot of lives here on earth. It was his time, GOd was ready for him.. He lend Michael to us to show us love and to learn how to stay focus and to let us know that life is only temporary. So love him (GOD), love your family, love your friends, and love those that don’t have anyone else to love them. His family have my deepest condolences, my prayers are forever with them. All of them LOVE YOU MICHAEL R.I.P.

    Michael Jackson is the greastest entertainer that has ever lived. No matter what he did in life. he does not have to answer to any of us, only to God.
    Any man can be a sperm donor, but that does not make him a father. Michael was a father.
    On this Joe Jackson abuse thing. Was Joe somewhat out there? yes. I don’t know about any one else, but in our home we got our butts beat and it made me all the better. Black parents demands respect in their home. They can speak negative about Michaerl Jackson until their face turn blue, it will not change the way he will be remembered. His music will live on his legacy will live on. I loved all his music, but Thriller was my favorite. The man was and will go on as being the greatest entertainer that ever lived, Rest in Peace Michael Jackson
