'There cannot be another Michael Jackson'

Let's Dance actress Gayatri Patel was greatly influenced by Michael Jackson, like most dancers and performers are.

She pays a tribute to the legend by dancing to Man in the Mirror, MJ style. She also talks about the King of Pop.

I got a call at 4 am where I learnt Michael Jackson passed away. I thought someone was playing a prank on me.

Michael is alive in his concerts. No one will remember what he got involved with later in life. He has given the world more than enough. There cannot be another Michael Jackson.

I loved his songs for its lyrics. Michael Jackson had started the body waves; later Shakira and Jennifer Lopez did it. His moonwalk was the best. 

I did my best to learn his steps. He influenced me in a big way. There are so many good performers but Michael is something else on stage. I have tried to learn that quality. When I am on stage, I try to forget everything around me -- just like when he's on stage, he's in his own nasha, his own zone.

If you want to be a good performer, you have to go through his DVDs or else you are not a good performer.

I never got to see Michael Jackson perform as I come from Alabama and my parents are quite conservative. They never let me go to concerts.
