Lack of humility? Seriously
"What did you learn from Michael professionally?"
Chris Tucker: "To be
humble. Cause I met a lot of people who never reach Michael's level and they are not humble
...that's what I learned from him all he's done his successes ...he was humble"
Akon:
""But as soon as he turns around, gets up, 'Yo, what up, man?!' and I was like, 'What up, Mike?' and he gave me a pound, we hugged each other," he continued. "He's like, 'Yo, I've been waiting to meet you for so long, this is a great honor, thanks for showing up, thanks for making the time.' And in my mind I'm like, 'You know, I should be thanking you for making the time.' "

Rosalie Williams, the nurse who treated MJ after the Pepsi burn
"He really was a good person. He was so
humble he wasn't making any demands. It was the family making all the demands."

Dr. van Valin on how MJ was different than stuck up celebrities.
You seem to have come through it all completely unscathed. How did you do that?
Michael looked at me and said very simply Because it's not me. What do you mean?
I asked. He replied, I mean it's a gift what I have. It's a gift from God. He gave
this to me so it's not really mine. I get to use it, enjoy it, and have fun with it
more important , share it but it's just a loan really"

He was also really concerned about doing anything that would inadvertently upset anybody around him. Even though he was spending five thousand bucks a day on studio time, Michael left me this note one day on my desk. I kept it as a souvenir, and pull it out now and then if people ever question my story. It pretty much tells you everything you need to know about him as a person and an artist.

Zoo Keeper Ron Magill
"I've never had a nicer gentleman, a more appreciative person with more well behaved
kids come to my zoo. Not what I expected. I've hosted a lot of celebrities and
quite frankly they're not pleasant people to be around they're often
surrounded by bodyguards and they have a holier than thou attitude
They think you roll up a red carpet you're gonna kiss their butts. He was the complete
opposite. "

“Michael was precious, kind and
humble. He carried a light that shined so bright.”

Dave Navarro
"I gotta tell ya Michael... I don't know that I've ever worked with anybody as sweet and professional and kind
and just you know no bullshit and helpful and there was just really a sense that he was grateful that I showed up
believe it or not.....He came in and we rehearsed and he gave everything he had during the rehearsal
he didn't like to walk through the rehearsal he was just on point from the downbeat and I was so impressed with this
guy. Because I worked with hacks in the business that walk in with the ego and the arrogance and just kinda full of shit.
This guy has proven himself over and over and over again and couldn't have been a more charming
humble entertainer"

Nate Giorgio, artist
"How
humble he truly was. His nature was so sweet, a very kind person. Soft spoken, respectable. He would always say to me: God
blessed the humble most. I will always remember this. As an artist just how incredibly talented and quick minded he was. Working with MJ
put me at another level. I know how lucky I was to have worked with him."

Stephanie Mills
“I loved Michael!” Stephanie tells Closer. “We dated for about a year and a half back in the day.” Stephanie got to see what Michael was like on and off-stage. “He was the sweetest, most compassionate, most loving person. Very soft-spoken and very
humble.”

Sound engineer John Van Nest, worked with MJ on HIStory and in early 80s
Oh, and one more IMPORTANT thing. I have never worked with a nicer man than Michael. He was gracious, talented as all get-out, gentle,
humble, a perfect gentleman, never swore, was healthy, punctual, and just the very sweetest person I could have ever hoped to work with. Oh, what a brilliant star he was! Absolutely, gone too soon.

It's not that MJ didn't have the humility to apologize it's that after Corey DID betray him by talking to Bashir and
fueling the witch-hunt that was going on in 2005 he didn't want to talk to him and I don't blame him at all.
