There's so many good things I have to look forward to in life and new opportunities that arise every day because of my association with Michael Jackson. I mean, he is the gift that keeps on giving.

Michael Jackson is an underappreciated songwriter and an underappreciated singer. I think the world only gives him the most recognition for his dancing. He was an awesome singer and an amazing songwriter.

Michael Jackson loved studying the greats. He felt that they could only add to what he did naturally. He was absolutely right. I mean, he studied James Brown for years when he was 10 years old, because the Jackson 5 would open for James. He studied him. He studied Fred Astaire. He loved to watch Fred's movies.

Michael Jackson was a joker to his core. He loved a good joke especially if it's displayed on somebody else.

Michael Jackson is everywhere. I can't not listen to what we did because it's everywhere. I listen to it all the time whether I want to or not.

I was a question on a game show. I think it was Jeopardy. The question was, Who is the only person in the world, only female in the world unrelated to Michael Jackson, to ever do a duet with him? He was doing a duet with me and that's all I cared about.

I cherish that time we had together with Michael Jackson. It just makes me smile. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. Just sad because I'll never repeat it, but happy that I got to experience it in the first place.
