How will you remember Michael Jackson?

I will remember Michael Jackson from [his] early/younger days, when my sister and brothers and me sang Jackson 5 songs in the evening while performing in front of our living-room window. … As an adult, I will remember Michael as an amazing performer whose sometimes unexplainable actions demonstrated hurting from the weight of stardom and a burdened youth.

As the greatest performer that ever lived. I remember all my friends gathered together just to watch the “Thriller” video when it first came out.

He’s been a humanitarian. He’s done a lot for people other than sing and dance, [and had a] good spirit. And of course, my favorite: “Thriller.”

Michael is the man! All his [songs] meant something. They were founded on meaning.

I like to remember his time as a young sensation. As an adult, his “Off The Wall” album.

A legend. With life and love that transcended through generations, cultures, etc. There are no words to describe Michael Jackson.
