Quotes36

  • Michael Jackson: [to guitarist Orianthi Panagaris, encouraging her to play louder] This is your moment to shine.
  • Michael Jackson: [Discussing a problem with his ear piece] It's like someone's shoving their fist in my ear!
  • Michael Jackson: This is the moment. This is it.
  • [repeated line]
  • Michael Jackson: God bless you.
  • Michael Jackson: It's an adventure. It's a great adventure. It's nothing to be nervous about. We just want wonderful experiences. We want escapism. We want to take them places that they've never been before. We want to show them talent like they've never seen before. So, give your all.
  • Michael Bearden: We need *you* to do the sound check; cause, there can't nobody hear what you need to hear. Some people might not want to have that bass.
  • Michael Jackson: I want it the way I wrote it, I mean like the audience hears it. So, whatever the records doing, that's how I want it.
  • Michael Bearden: Yeah, that's what - that's what its going to sound like. We got to get closer to what you want. And if you want to get a little more booty on something, something else, you know what I mean. You know what I'm sayin'?
  • Michael Jackson: [laughs] A little more booty. That's funny.
  • Michael Jackson: [when asked why the dancers didn't begin on cue] We're sizzling. We're sizzling.
  • Michael Jackson: [Testing the cherry picker] Weee!
  • [Waves to camera]
  • Michael Jackson: Hi!
  • Kenny Ortega: [as Michael rides the cherry picker] Just for same safety. Thank you. We've been there before. MJ this is just a mid-height. It goes much higher than this. This is the low-height.
  • Michael Jackson: Why would you say that to me? You know better.
  • [Kenny laughs]
  • Michael Jackson: Why would you say that? You're teasing me. That's why. You know want it higher.
  • Michael Jackson: With the love, L.O.V.E.
  • Michael Jackson: At least we get a feel of it.
  • Michael Jackson: [singing] Billie Jean is not my lover.
  • Michael Jackson: [singing] I'm starting with the man in the mirror, I'm asking him to change his ways, And no message could have been any clearer, If you want to make the world a better place, Take a look at yourself, then make that - change...
  • Michael Jackson: We gotta let it simmer. We got a moment where it has to simmer.
  • Michael Bearden: That's right.
  • Michael Jackson: You're not letting it simmer. Just bathe in the moonlight. You have to let it simmer.
  • Michael Jackson: It's funkier. I'm not feelin' that part enough.
  • Michael Jackson: It's all for love.
  • Alex Al: It's comin' there.
  • Michael Jackson: We'll get there.
  • Michael Jackson: This is it. This is it. I love you. I'll be - I'll be performing the songs my fans wanna hear.
  • Kenny Ortega: This is all sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle. It says "Smooth Criminal". The audience is going wild. The camera now slowly starts to move over the marquee.
  • Michael Jackson: [singing] Ooo! As he came into the window, Was a sound of a crescendo...
  • Michael Jackson: [singing] You and I must make a pact, We must bring salvation back, Where there is love, I'll be there...
  • Michael Jackson: Give me your all, your endurance, your patience, your understanding.
