but know exactly what we want from the musicians and how to get it
from them.
My music has clean lyrics, his music had clean lyrics.
Im a perfectionist, he was a perfectionist.
I have been active in civil right, he was active in civil rights.

The world will never replace Michael Jackson and we should honor
him by learning from him and remembering all he's done for the
World.
