In an interview with MTV, Omarion talks about Michael Jackson and the profound impact that he has had with people all over the world, and how MJ fans all share a connectedness, of sorts, with him.

"[Jackson] did not just inspire everything that I do, but I really feel connected to him, just like the world does. And from an artist's standpoint, these are the things that I have to ask myself, like, 'Why did everyone draw to him the way that they drew to him? Why did everyone feel the way that I feel about him?' And I mean, like, not 10,000 people or 100,000 people. I mean, like, 10 million — millions and millions." Omarion who actually went to an MJ concert recalls, "My mom took me because my mom was a fan, and I had this big Michael Jackson T-shirt on, and we were in, like, super, super-high nosebleeds, but I felt him all the way in the nosebleeds section."

When asked if he would be watching 'This Is It' he replied, "I'm definitely going to check out the film," he said. "It's sad that he's gone, but I'm definitely going to carry it on for him."
