Chris Tucker: “The best feeling in the world was when I made the King of Pop laugh. Being friends with him has been an honor for me. Not only because he was the biggest star in the world, changed the world, and no one will come like him again—but because he was the kindest person and did a lot for charities. You can’t count the money he gave to charities. He was the greatest man in the world.”
Smokey Robinson: “He was amazing, and his legacy and talent will live forever. I’ve seen a lot of talent in my life, but I’ve never seen—nor do I think I’ll ever see—anyone as talented as Michael.”
Quincy Jones: “Michael will never leave this world. He shattered racial boundaries around the world. He was an artist and a different kind of human being. He was a man with a child’s soul who worked tirelessly, with all his heart and soul, and who supported children.”
Justin Bieber: “He wasn’t just a showman; he was a source of inspiration—kind, noble, and a charitable person. That’s why I look up to him. I want to be complete—that’s what Michael did.”
Harry Shum Jr.: “People were screaming and yelling and breaking into tears when they saw him. That’s the kind of impact he had on people. He was a perfectionist. As a dancer, he really impressed me. Ask anyone—everyone knows Michael’s dancing.”
Debbie Allen: “Michael Jackson… he was a discoverer, an inventor, an engineer, an architect—a genius. Music might have been his surprise, but his love was dancing.”
Prince Jackson (about Michael’s hand and footprint engraving on a concrete plaque): “This achievement is the result of a lifetime of his work. This is something he worked hard to achieve, and today we will present it to him.”
Billy Bush: “Today was an emotional day. A day with the presence of so many idols who paid tribute to the greatest among them… Michael Jackson was officially immortalized at the Chinese Theatre.”
