The Michael Jackson Fan Club

Read what other stars (listed alphabetically) had to say about Michael:

Alek Wek (Supermodel)

Michael Jackson really is the king of pop. When my friends talk about childhood, I've never heard of any cartoons or TV they remember. The only thing we share is Michael Jackson. That's how far his music travelled - to a remote village on the other side of the world. When the militias came to Wau, they would blast out 'Thriller' as they moved down the dirt streets."

Will . I . am (singer, producer)

Working with Michael Jackson has been probably like, one of the greatest experiences in my career right now. As a musician and a person in the music industry, there's these livels of success...like, "oh you're platinum" or ooh you had a song at number one on the radio for six weeks," you know. Or "Dude, you got 3 Grammy nominations," or oh, you're playing the Grammys!" And they are all pretty much the same kinda thing. But then there's like, "You worked with Michael Jackson." And that one, just for me and my generation, it's like, bigger than a Grammy. 'Cause a Grammy is a Grammy, right? It's a trophy. And it's dope to be acknowledged by that committee...but, Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson!"

When I finally sat down with him, I was nervous. I couldn't be the way I would be like when I'm with Justin or Nas. I've idolised Michael my whole life.”

Hype Williams (video director)

The choreography [in Thriller] is tremendous. It's a new appreciation of how dance can move a music video. He wasn't just a tremendous artist, tremendous performer, it was amazing how ingenious he was to foresee that music video could be anything you wanted in the beginning."

pharrell Williams (producer, performer)

Speaking about the song 'Billie Jean':

That song was incredible. I wish and aspire to make something like that one day.

Michael's a natural. He's a very hard worker and a super performer. But most of all he's a real human being.
