Among the over two dozen artists who shared their love for Michael Jackson on camera with Billboard.com recently, it was Jason Derulo who summed up how everyone felt. “It’s crazy, I can’t believe one year has passed,” Derulo said. “It’s still surreal for me. How can Michael Jackson actually be gone?”
As we celebrate all things Michael Jackson on the first anniversary of his passing, we’ve created a video tribute of music stars talking about what MJ meant to them, from Lil Jon, Juvenile and Gucci Mane to Nikki Yanofsky to Christina Aquilera, the Jonas Brothers, and Nelly, and many more.
Charice appears at 4:55
.
Listening to the Jackson 5, the Jonas Brothers’ Nick Jonas explained, “as brothers, it really had an impact on us and influenced us.”
“We have all had moments in time where we wanted to dance like Michael, and we were just infatuated and in awe of his talent,” Christina Aguilera said.
In terms of MJ’s artistic legacy, Bun B breaks it down succinctly. “On a scale of one to 10, 10 passed away last summer. So everybody from here on out can only be one through 9.9.”

Related Billboard Review for “Charice” CD
This young lady can definitely sing. That’s the first impression that hits home as you listen to the 18-year-old Filipino sensation–and Oprah Winfrey fave–belt her heart out. Charice is making waves with catchy dance-pop single “Pyramid” (featuring fellow newcomer Iyaz), and also in that vein on her self-titled debut are noteworthy pop tracks “Reset,” “Nobody’s Singin’ to Me” and “Nothing,” whose vocal arrangements deftly showcase Charice’s formidable chops.
The big-voiced singer calls to mind a younger version of Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera and Celine Dion on soaring ballads about love and life, notably “In This Song” and “Note to God.” But the set’s stylistic shifts–from teen-oriented pop to a touch of rock (”In Love So Deep”) to anthemic ballads–ultimately leaves you wondering just which audience Charice is eyeing: her teen peers or their moms. Though it doesn’t hit on all cylinders, the album leaves no doubt as to Charice’s talent–and promising future.
