友人、音乐名人们还有世界各地以及网络彼端的粉丝对迈克尔.杰克逊六月二十五日的死迅速反应，谈及对他的传奇的一生的想法。
昆西.琼斯
“我被这个出乎意料的坏消息彻底摧毁了。迈克尔在还如此年轻的年纪就突然从我们身边被夺走了生命，我很无语。神在电影《绿野仙踪》让我们心灵相通并允许我们在整个80年代做了我们所能做到的。直到今天，我们一起创造的《墙外》、《振栗》、《真棒》音乐专辑，在世界的每个角落播放。为什么？因为他拥有一切的一切......才华、优雅、专业和奉献。他是一个完美的艺人，他的贡献和传奇会永远感动世人。今天，我失去了我的弟弟，还有我的一部分的灵魂也随他而去。”

Quincy Jones
Friends, music luminaries and fans from around the world and around the web reacted to the news of Michael Jackson's death on June 25 with thoughts on his life and legacy.

“I am absolutely devastated at this tragic and unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don’t have the words. Divinity brought our souls together on The Wiz and allowed us to do what we were able to throughout the 80’s. To this day, the music we created together on Off The Wall, Thriller and Bad is played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all…talent, grace, professionalism and dedication.He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I’ve lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him.”

"I knew Michael as a child and watched him grow over the years. Of all the thousands of entertainers I have worked with, Michael was THE most outstanding. Many have tried and will try to copy him, but his talent will never be matched." --Dick Clark, host of "American Bandstand."

电视名人Dick Clark，电视歌唱节目《American Bandstand》主持人（注：这档音乐节目从1952年播出到1989年，持续了37年）---“我从迈克尔小时候就认识他了，这么些年来我一直看着他长大。在我合作过的成千上万名艺人当中，迈克尔是最最杰出的。许多人试过模仿照抄他，还有许多人将要尝试模仿照抄他，他的才华从未被超越，也必将无人能及。”

Michael Jackson was clearly one of the greatest entertainers of our era. His influence dominated and defined our culture not only in music, but in fashion, dance, film and so much more. Often overlooked are his spectacular skills as a songwriter, composing both music and lyrics for his immense body of work. In an era in which most songs are composed by teams, Michael was the sole composer of dozens of songs that endeared him to audiences around the world. A BMI songwriter since 1976, his BMI catalog contains more than 150 songs, more than 20 reaching multi-million performance status on American radio and television." -Del Bryant, President & CEO, Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI)

BMI总裁兼CEO 代尔.布莱恩特---迈克尔.杰克逊无疑是我们这个时代最伟大的艺术家之一。他的影响力引领和诠释了不光是我们的音乐文化，更有时装、舞蹈、电影以及更多。经常被忽视的是他出众的创作技能，作为一个词曲作家，他自己的大量的作品都是他自己进行作曲填词的。在大多数歌曲是由团队完成编曲的时代里，迈克尔独立作曲了几十首使他令世人钟爱的歌曲。他是一个从1976年开始的BMI词曲作家，他的BMI目录包含超过150首歌，超过20个美国电台电视的数百万的状态评分。”

Eddie Van Halen:

"I am really shocked; as I'm sure the world is, to hear the news. I had the pleasure of working with Michael on 'Beat It' back in '83 -- one of my fondest memories in my career.

Michael will be missed and may he rest in peace."

艾迪·范海伦：得知这个消息后我极为震惊，相信全世界的人们的感觉也一样。曾经在83年的时候与Michael合作了Beat It这首歌令我感到非常荣幸——这也是我事业生涯中最珍视的回忆之一。Michael会被世人怀念，愿他在天堂安息

Corey Feldman:

"I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend."

考瑞·费尔德曼——我对此表示深切的悲痛，这不仅是人类历史上最伟大巨星的陨落，对我来说，他还意味着更多，他是我的偶像，也是我人生中的榜样，在我遭遇不看忍受的童年时他是我可以哭泣、倾诉的对象，他是我的兄弟，是我亲爱的朋友。

URI GELLER, FRIEND:
Uri Geller says his friend Michael Jackson 'went through hell'
"I'm just devastated, very very sad. I pray that his soul is up there now. I'm still trying to hold on to the glimmer that it is not true. It is too surreal for me to absorb that Michael is no longer with us.

"Michael was in good shape because he was practising, he was training, he was rehearsing for the shows [due to start in London next month]. Michael was careful with what he ate, he was just fine. Last time I know and heard of what he was doing he was in great shape. And this is why I'm so absolutely shocked by this news."

尤里·杰勒，朋友（他说他的朋友迈克尔杰克逊“已穿越地狱”）——我被击垮了，非常非常悲伤，我祈祷他的灵魂还在。我仍然不敢相信这是真的。对我来说，相信Michael不再跟我们在一起了是那么的不现实。Michael的身形一直很棒，因为他坚持练习，坚持锻炼，他一直在为的演出排练（即下个月即将在伦敦开锣的演唱会）。Michael对他吃的食物非常在意，他身体很好。上次我知道并听说他在做什么的时候他身体也很好，这也是为什么我对这消息感到彻头彻尾的震惊的原因。

我爱michael

谢谢。
我们永远都爱MJ。

John Legend, singer, composer:
"Michael Jackson will always be remembered as one of the greatest performers in the history of popular music. As a child of the '80s, I feel as though his music and his videos have been an inseparable part of my life and that of an entire generation. And the powerful thing about great music is that it will always live on. He was and always will be an icon. My heart goes out to his family, friends and countless fans for their tragic loss."

约翰·莱甄德： 歌手，曲作者——迈克尔杰克逊是流行音乐史上最伟大的艺术家之一而被人们永远怀念，作为一个成长在80年代的孩子，我认为他的的音乐和录影带不仅曾是我生命中不可分割的部分同时也影响了整个一代人。伟大音乐的能量就在于它们将会被永远铭记。他曾是也会永远是偶像。我的心已因这不幸的消息飞向他的家人，朋友和无数的歌迷那里。
