Liza was very truthful in this interview. She didn't have a bad word to say about Michael.

[@craigellen4655]

Liza’s all class, they tried to get her to be nasty about Halston too and she said NO.

[@ImaLittleStitious]

I love how Ellen truly tries to understand Michael when her guest speak about him. She didn't write him off as guilty as so many other interviewers do. That says a lot. It's really beautiful and I think they could have been great friends.

[@barnesfam]

+ImaLittleStitious I think Michael would've loved Ellen and she would've loved him.

The only heartbreaking thing about being a moonwalker, is The fact that i will never get to see him live, never get to meet him, never get to see his smile in person, Or hear his contagious laugh. I will never get to hug him, while I cry happy tears, and whisper thank you in his ear, and: "You've changed my life"

[@chenhayden]

Oh Gosh that is exactly what I am thinking all the time!

[@ankitasaxena393]

My God , u just spoke to me. i live in regret, and i will die in regret, that i could never see him live, i could never say Hello to him, i could never touch him,i could never hug him and God knows i wouldn't have let go off him , i want to touch him, i want to feel his vibe,i want to hear him breath,see him laugh,look into his eyes, hold his hand with affection so tight ,and tell him, i always believed in you and i will always believe in you, i love you. i live in this regret 24 /7. My God, this magnificent creature has left us and i couldn't do anything to stop this. i couldn't be there for him when he needed us, i couldn't touch him,i couldn't hug him and cried with him, i couldn't do anything . who knows , he would've stayed. i regret not having the experience of breathing the same air as him. and this regret will kill me .

[@rachelk1697]

Michael Jackson grew up with the industries very best. They were all close-knit, lavish,honest,caring,admiring,helping,RESPECTING each other. When they all started to pass on or retire, MJ was left alone, honestly he had no one. He couldnt fit into the less humble souls around, the present 'survived' by making fun of each other.
