    When he says he made a promise to himself to never take from MJ I was actually amazed, I had made a mental note so many years ago as a young chap that if I ever got to work with Mj and befriended him in any way that I would make a point to never take anything , cash, favors. Just being humans, Now I wonder how many other fans did that just in case.

    Danke für dieses Interview! Es ist immer schön Zuhörer zu sein, wenn Menschen uns Fans etwas über das Leben und über den Mensch der Michael Jackson gewesen ist, erzählen. Über seine Persönlichkeit, ihre persönlichen Erfahrungen, ihre Arbeit mit ihm, sein großartiges, natürliches Gespür als Künstler, seine wundervolle Art auf die Menschen zuzugehen ... Es ist deshalb irgendwie traurig, dass Leuten wie Steven Whitsitt keine öffentliche Bühne gegeben wird, um ihre Erinnerungen über Michael teilen zu können, weil außerhalb der Fan-Community nicht an diese Leute herangetreten wird. Die breite Öffentlichkeit bekommt davon leider wenig mit. Ich hoffe dies wird sich in Zukunft ändern. Wir Fans werden sein Vermächtnis, seine Botschaften, seine Sensibilität als Mensch, der sich sehr um die Menschen und diese Welt gekümmert hat, ewig in Erinnerung behalten.

    It's no secret that "Smile" was Michael's absolute favorite song, here we even learn that he simply sings it acapella to an associate for no reason. Meanwhile, the song never really made it onto setlists during any of his tours. Both surprising and a bummer.

    Hi everyone, you may want to edit the date you have given in the description for when this interview was conducted - which I believe was June 26, 2022, not 2006 (when Michael was still alive!).

    Amazing interview, great questions, but maybe consider not wearing shorts and a t-shirt next time. It honestly seems disrespectful to the person you are interviewing. At least I wouldn't be caught dead interviewing someone who worked with Michael Jackson in shorts and a t-shirt. Not trying to be a jerk but it just seems unprofessional when interviewing someone so highly regarded in the field

    Thank you for your honest and constructive comment. This interview was not planned and was shot spontaneously. Surely our interviewer would have worn long pants. Opinions are likely to differ about the shirt.
