Eccentric, recluse, quirky, oddball, freak, yet considered to be God for music lovers. The names given and the parallels used to express this artist run in extremes but there are three words that can alone at once spur an image that truly describes and sums up his being-'KING OF POP'While Hollywood is left devastated by the sudden death of the Pop icon, B town too is grieving the demise of one of most sensational entertainers the world has ever seen. Known for his trademark groovy moves and signature fashion sense, Jackson influenced many from the tinsel town and taught them a thing or two about how to go about the business of entertainment
DOSTANA Director Tarun Mansukhani, says:
He lived a sad life, he sang from the age of 5, no childhood no innocence we all hounded him till he locked himself up. We then crucified him, abused him called him weird and in return he gave us all music that has formed our memories. Be it our first love, first dance or our first break-up MJ was there. Finally now he can be in peace, finally he can be a child in his never land
Santoor player, Rahul Sharma says:
He was on a verge of a comeback tour. He's left the lot of us asking for more.All of us are left with fond memories of this incredible artist. All of us are left with fond memories of him
Hip hop queen, Hard Kaur says :
There can be only one like him. There's nobody before and after Michael Jackson .We salute him for his creations. He was the one who created original styles which reflected not only in his music but also his dance, clothes etc. We will miss him; there can be no one ever like him ever!!''
Model and actor, Gauhar Khan says:
It's the biggest loss to the music industry especially when he was known as the king of Pop. He has inspired the maximum people from around the world. MJ has left a cult behind him with his dancing style and especially with his moonwalk. I am in a complete shock and not yet used to the fact that MJ is no more. It's like you have to pinch yourself to get used to the fact that MJ is not around.
Renowned singer Sukhwinder Singh says:
Michael Jackson was an international icon and he was such an inspiration. I see him perhaps as the best performer that ever existed. One did not need to meet him to feel the loss. It is very sad to see that such a great and incredible superstar leave us so early. It's such a great loss to the international music and there's nobody who can fill this vacuum in coming years. Watching him or listening to him was invigorating for musicians' world over. Music lovers were waiting for his come back tours and they were all sold out concerts.
Singer/music director Raghav Sachar says:
From the very beginning, Michael Jackson has been my inspiration. As a matter of fact, during my concerts, I have been performing a lot of his numbers. I was even planning on going to London for his comeback concert in July as well. I was really looking forward to it. This is an irreparable loss to the music industry and music lovers. There can never be another Michael Jackson. Icons are exclusive.
LET'S DANCE leading lady Gayatri Patel says :
This is heart breaking and a loss to performers worldwide. I was so excited to hear about his upcoming tour and now we'll never get to see the legend sliding across the stage doing his classic moonwalk. In fact, there was a rumour that he'd invented a new moonwalk for the upcoming shows. Michael may not perform every again, but his music, style and legacy will live on.
