Michael Jackson's dancers from 'This Is It' and choreographer Travis Payne appeared on Entertainment Tonight to pay tribute to the King of Pop.

Dancer Daniel Celebre said, "Every single person that saw Michael just gave the same energy back, so the love was flying all over the place. And to see the myth, the legend, right in front of you was just ... a blessing-and-a-half." Another dancer, Timor Steffens said, "To be honest, my emotions were really running in my body while I was watching the movie, but I also had a lot of positivity in my body, because it's a beautiful moment that we had in life."

Travis Payne also commented on 'This Is It'. He explains, "With the release of Michael's documentary we've been able to have a bit of healing and it's helped us all, I think, to be able to cope with such a great loss."
