"I’m looking forward to seeing what could have been. I’m looking forward to seeing Michael Jackson’s unfinished symphony," Nigel told OK! as he made his way into the theater.
"You know, the sadness of losing him is the way that legends have been created in the past, so now this man, without question, is a legend," Nigel exclaimed. "He was always a global inspiration, but now he’s a legend. Forever! As long as we have pop culture."

Vivica had to make sure she wore her best Michael attire to the event.
"I’m excited. I’m scared," she explained about how she was feeling before seeing the film. "I’ve had anxiety about this all today to make sure that I had the right outfit, that I had my hair right, that I wore something sparkly that kind of resembled the glove. This is a Swarovski crystal bracelet."
Nigel, Larry and Vivica all had different favorite Michael Jackson moments. "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" for Nigel, "Thriller" for Larry and the moonwalk for Vivica.
"That night, he just truly became a superstar. That’s when Michael Jackson went into stratosphere," Vivica said. "That’s when it set him apart from anyone else. That’s my favorite all time Michael Jackson moment!"
All equally brilliant moments!
