I also watched the cartoon, but on Saturday mornings when it was first aired. I remember when he and Donny Osmond presented at the Grammys. I remember Off the Wall when it came out, and of course, all the videos on MTV with Thriller.

I remember sitting down with my whole family to watch the making of it and then the video. Even at 6 years old I knew that was a big deal. My mother HATED MTV for the longest time because I would watch it constantly to see Beat It and Billie Jean.

Loved everything MJ, always trying to moonwalk around the house, etc. My Mom also loves to tell the story of when I was young and apparently one day, saw a black man at the mall and got really excited because I thought it was MJ. (unfortunately, I'm from a very small, very white town in WI, so I really didn't see any people with his skin color on a daily basis, only one I saw was MJ on TV.....)

My mom would go shopping at the local Hills (it was like K Mart) and in the front they would play the "Thriller" video and the Making of Thriller and the whole front had Michael stuff. I would wander around there while she shopped and watch it over and over again. I also was at the 2001 VMAs as a seatfiller and go to see Michael and *NSYNC perform "Pop". Those were the beginning and ending moments with many in between. His music touched my life.

I had the album (yes, a vinyl album) and I would record myself singing along with the songs. I seem to remember loving PYT a lot then, as well as Beat It. I had earrings and a matching charm that were in the shape of gloves. They had silver glitter on them to mimic Michael's famous glove. I remember that I lost one of the earrings in the pool at the YWCA. I was pretty upset about that. I also had a dressy, long-sleeve shirt that had an image of Michael dancing. It was a drawing of his legs from the knees down and he was on his tippy toes wearing loafers. It's hard to pinpoint a particular moment in my life when thinking of Michael Jackson. He, and his music, was always there. Although he's gone his legacy lives on in his music. But I don't think i'll ever be able to hear Michael Jackson again and not think of this day.

Also, watching that epic video of one of his European shows when I was a kid - where people are falling out, fainting, having to be hauled out of the audience. I was in awe of that shit. I also saw him perform at United We Stand in D.C. after 9/11. I never thought that I'd ever get the chance to see him perform live. It was thrilling. I have such vivid memories of listening to MJ's music.

She remembers thinking, wow, this is weird...like a story about the song I also remember when his #1's album came out, and I got it for christmas....everyone thought I was lame. haha.

I listened to that every single day and learned all the dance moves. My mom made me a sparkly glove and I hated it because it didn't look just like it but my family would always make me "do the dance" Another one was... when my dad moved across the state when he got a job transfer, my sisters, my mom and I would go to this little mom and pop shop where they had Michael Jackson, Record shapped bubble gum and the trading cards. I would be happy to see my dad but I would beg for money to get those things.

RFK was out of food and drinks by this point and we were tired, hungry and had a 2 hour drive ahead of us...and we would not leave until MJ came on...roughly around 1am.

Is that a woman?" He had to tell me it was a man, but I was still confused.

This would've been in the mid-80s. I believe Nancy Reagan was in it as well? I'm gonna try and You Tube it.

His music was always in her car or in the house. I grew up listening to him and Janet. And another one, me and my sister trying to do the Moonwalk in my grandma's living room.

Then he pointed to Michael on the screen performing Smooth Criminal. I was mesmerized.

Michael's songs always put you in a good upbeat mood. As a walker, there is nothing better than walking to an MJ song....it gives you energy and makes you smile. Love doing the Thriller dance. I was at Cedar Pointe with three of my daughter's friends for Halloween. Kids were about 14. As we were leaving the park around 1:00 a.m., I was walking with her one friend next to me, and my daughter and another were behind me. They always play Halloween themed music, and all of a sudden, blasting super loud, Thriller comes on. I looked at my daughter's friend who was next to me, we smiled, and both started the Thriller dance (thought my daughter would die of embarrassment... hahahahah), but ya know what, then some more people on their way out of the park saw us, and started doing the dance. We were all laughing and having such an awesome time. (except my daughter who was rolling her eyes and pretending she didn't know me)
