Debbie Allen on Michael Jackson -- CNN 12-feb-2012 sub ita.avi

"Michael Jackson IS a phenomenon. I say IS - he will always be. Never "was," he will always "be"... What is so great about Michael is he never ever settled for what his ability was at the moment. It always had to go further... Michael loved people... But Michael had a lot of hurt in his life, a lot of hurt."
"Michael Jackson E' un fenomeno. Dico E' perché lui lo sarà sempre. Non sarà mai "era", sarà sempre "E' ". Quello che era così grandioso di Michael è che mai e poi mai si accontentava di quelle che erano le sue capacità del momento, doveva sempre andare oltre... Michael amava la gente... Ma Michael ha avuto tanto dolore nella sua vita, tanto dolore."

Thank you Debbie for support Michael Jackson.

It was the saddest day of my life too, cause I love Michael Jackson and his music. Debbie was a real friend. I liked it when she said Michael is soft spoken but so smart and a tiger. I always wondered how come he let himself influenced by others (the yes man) if he was such a powerful person and in control of his life and destiny. Michael will remain an enigma to us. Everything was mysterious and contradictory in his life. I feel for his kids especially Paris who was MJ little princess.

MJ became much vulnerable and less smart after using much medicine (I dont want to use the word drugs) later in his life, from 2000s (and it was the result from his falling in MJ and Friends concert in 1999), I dont blame on him, he suffered much more than we can think of, but he was always trying his best to overcome any difficulties until he cannot (which was from 2000s, and especially after 2005 allegation)....:(

That Debbie Allen is so AUTHENTIC, INDEED, SHE HAS NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE HER AND RESPECT HER CAREER MILESTONE...

[@jewelscorbin]

I agree with so many others commenting. What got me in the days/weeks/months after Michael's passing is that so many 'close, personal' friends/peers were giving interviews...speaking so kind about Michael, but not a single tear. I mean....we (his fans...most of which NEVER had a chance to meet him or even see him in person in any way) were devasted, crying at the mention of his name...but people that knew him were all 'stoic and composed'. Whatever. Debbie shows what a real friend does.

[@Mickey200916]

Michael always reached beyond the limits of what could be achived. That is why he is the geatest. Mike was different. Look at Thriller in This Is It. Superb, pure genius. Always looking to do things out of the box. Will never be another entertainer like him ever period.

[@iredeadegboyega9330]

It still hurts, I cry just thinking about Michael. I will always love you Michael, always and forever.Just remember that.

[@sharonboyce527]

Michael is the best. He will never die. GOD BLESS MICHAEL JACKSON FOR EVER.

[@MrMjhealtheworld]

Why is there always one idiot that dislikes, how can one dislike this??? Debbie Allen always loved Michael, at the NAACP speech when Michael presented her with the award it was a touching moment, especially after his emotional speech. I love Debbie she always keeps it real.

[@tjswindyday]

Thank you and well said.....Michael IS and ALWAYS WILL BE.... a phenomenon, the KING of POP, the WORLDS GREATEST ENTERTAINER etc. etc. Never past tense. Always with us......The pain just never goes away - miss you so much Michael.... God Bless you Debbie and you Michael....Love You More....

[@kikka7391]

Thankyou Debbie for sharing your memories abt Michael and letting people know how great, humble and good he was.

[@DenyMj68]

Grazie Debbie ....grazie per queste parole ...la tua commozione ,le tue lacrime sono le mie ... Michael I miss you so much ....

[@TatsunoKonami]

It's so sad to note that there are often soulless people around with their mud even enjoying to ruin sensitivity and emotional connection moments as the special ones with that splendid woman in this video.....

Bellissima testimonianza.. Le lacrime per la sua perdita non smetteranno mai di esistere.. neanche passassero secoli.. l'amore per lui vivrà per sempre.. Michael Is and Always Will Be.. Thank You Debbie..

[@mjsbodyandsoul2]

...si e' una delle tante e tante commoventi testimonianze di chi lo ha conosciuto, lo ha vissuto...i suoi amici veri, anche a distanza di anni, quando parlano di lui, e poi inevitabilmente di quando hanno avuto la notizia della sua scomparsa, ancora lo piangono..traspare tantissimo dolore dalle loro parole...ho visto collaboratori giovani, come ballerini, musicisti...uomini di una certa eta', con barba e capelli bianchi, facenti parte del suo staff, scoppiare in lacrime senza alcuna vergogna, davanti all'intervistatore e alla macchina da presa, perche' il dolore x la sua morte e' fortissimo, incontenibile, non si puo' nascondere...e' come un fiume in piena che esce dagli argini e travolge tutto....e' cosi' il dolore x Lui...e sara' x sempre....ricordo la bravissima Debbie Allen quando alcuni fa la tv mandava in onda la serie di telefilm "Fame" che ebbero tanto successo in America e poi dopo anche in Italia....parlavano di una classe di ragazzi di varie estrazioni sociali che studiavano all'Accademia delle Arti, e aspiravano un giorno a diventare famosi...Debbie era la maestra di danza, nella vita lo e' davvero, ed era la mia preferita...e Michael, sempre modesto, umile, perfezionista, andava alla sua scuola x imparare ancora, se ce ne fosse stato ancora bisogno....si...questo e'uno dei tanti filmati, pertanto prodotto da uno dei piu' grandi network americani, la CNN, che dovrebbero vedere certe persone, fortuna che sono pochissime, che negano che Michael sia morto davvero....

[@elismichaeljackson7388]

mjsbodyandsoul2 Si.. sai meglio di me quanto siano ostinate queste persone che credono ancora, dopo 5 anni, che Michael sia vivo adesso.. nascosto da qualche parte a vivere una vita felice.. Non le guardano minimamente queste bellissime testimonianze che dovrebbero visualizzatore tutti loro ma che nessuno fa per paura di sapere che le proprie idee fondate sul nulla, sono cadute a pezzi per il troppo surrealismo.. Mi dispiace solo per la sua bella anima.. sporcata in questo modo senza nessun ritegno e rispetto.. non lo meritava.. ha avuto moltissime sofferenze e continuando così la loro poca fede non farà altro che renderlo triste.. Grazie per questo bellissimo commento.. per questa testimonianza piena d'amore e sentita.. grazie davvero.. sono parole preziose.. molto chiare ed emozionanti..

[@mjsbodyandsoul2]

Elis Michael Jackson ....grazie sempre a te che, trovando questi bei video su YT e mostrandoli qui su Google mi dai la possibilita' di aggiungere il mio pensiero, qualche piccola notizia in piu'...sempre x Amore suo e x amore della verita'....

[@elismichaeljackson7388]

mjsbodyandsoul2 ed anche per amore nostro.. e per chi non sa queste piccole notizie in più che continui a dire in ogni occasione..

I love when I get to hear one legend speaking on their personal relationships with other legends. Never knew of the Debbie Allen Michael Jackson connection. This is truly a rare interview. I feel Debbie Allen's pain watching this. Thank you for sharing this video
