Jive Recording Artists Remember Michael
by Dean


Statement from 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."

Statement from 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!"

Statement from 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."

Statement from Charlie Wilson (The GAP Band)

"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."
