When I heard "Michael" talking on the 02 announcement, I was in another room and heard his name...I called into my husband, "THAT is NOT Michael Jackson talking"....ever since I've been on to this crusade to find out what's up.
I did the exact same thing only I was watching it. <!-- s --><!-- s -->
So in a previous post in this thread I told you about my 2 daughters preferring to listen to Michael Jackson’s music over any other artist’s music. Well, my 1st grader (the 6 year old) came home with a letter from her school stating that she was going to have show and tell in music class this week (Show and tell is when a student brings in something from home and tells the other student's about it). The student’s were to bring in anything musical (CD, DVD, toy, magazine article, poster, showbill etc.). My daughter decided to take our Michael Jackson 25th Anniversary of Thriller CD to school with her – she decided she wanted to play song #5; “Beat It” for her classmates.
Anyway, I picked her up at the bus stop yesterday afternoon and she was all smiles so I asked her why she was so happy. She said “Today I played “Beat It” for my music class and guess what?? ALL the kids were clapping and started dancing at their desks.” I responded with “Did you dance?” She said “No, it was my turn so I was in front of the class singing it to myself.” I thought this was such a cute story that I just had to share it with our MJ family!! She also said that another classmate sang the song “Billie Jean” from her CD. Later that evening I overheard her explaining it to her 3 year old sister as “the best music class EVER!”
I was telling my story to the girls at work and I reiterated how 25+ years later people of ALL ages still enjoy the beats and melodies of Michael Jackson music! Simply AMAZING if you ask me!! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

I am a 4th grade teacher. The other day several of my students were trying to Moonwalk during indoor recess. One boy even pretended to hold on to an imaginary hat on top of his head. His pose was totally MIchael! I just smiled! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> (a big smile)

My 3 year old cousin, Trey, and my 5 year old cousin, Camille absolutely LOVE Michael, mostly because whenever they visit I show them videos of him <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> But now EVERYTIME they visit, they run straight to me, especially Trey. He always comes straight to me and goes "Mike Jack!!! Smoove Cwiminal!!" and he'll try to climb onto my lap. His favorites of Michael are Smooth Criminal, from the 1992 Bucharest concert, and he LOVES Speed Demon. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) --> I love seeing them get so excited to watch him dance. Camille's the one that will go into my room, get a DVD and try to play it on her own. <!-- s --><!-- s --> <!-- s --><!-- s -->
I am 50 female born in Montreal, Quebec Canada
my sons of 22 and 24 are fans of Michael, I have a niece 12 who loves Michael. I think Michael touched every generation. I use to watch Michael(Jackson 5) on the Ed Sullivan show with my mother, and I remember she use to tell me look at him he is your age and he is making all that money. That's when I decided to play the piano. Michael did inspire me. Love you Michael.
