Paula Abdul has exchanged messages on Twitter with "So You Think You Can Dance" head judge, Nigel Lythgoe, regarding a tribute for Michael Jackson on the dance show. On Friday, June 26 Nigel wrote, "People please use Twitter-Power. Ask @PaulaAbdul to choreograph a Michael Jackson tribute on SYTYCD" and Paula came with a favorable response later.
As a reply to Nigel's request, Paula wrote, "Have your people call my people Nigel and let's do it! Lol". Paula began her career in the '80s, choreographing for the Jacksons family including for Janet Jackson's "Control". She recalled, "I worked w/ the whole family when they got ready for the Reunion tour,1st video was 'Torture' & did the Victory tour."
In a later post, Nigel replied Paula's response, writing "I would get my people to call yours? But I have 2 issues. 1. I don't know who your people are? 2. I haven't got any people? Xox"
Michael Jackson's death coincided with the result show of "SYTYCD" on Thursday, June 25. Nigel opened the episode by paying tributes to Michael, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon who all died within the same week. Michael's video of "Thriller" was then played.

Thank you to Paula for sharing your genius traits with us through Michael and sibblings and other entertainers. Please keep us entertained-the world has become bitter and such a borehole where everybady is afraid they will meltdown or ashdown. With music and dance the world becomes a rising balloon which can take you up above hell and it's meltdown sorrows.
i wish it never happened...he was a saint.. he will never be forgotten..he was the king of pop, we love you micheal..
Dear Michael, Others thought that they could make you so common and damp you at the flea market like some junk bargain, in death you sleep like a priceless soul free to fly away above all the vultures.You may now look down and have the last laugh. Michael our singing and dancing KING! We will always, always sing after you, all the nice music and dance our troubles away, away like you did. May you sleep in peace.
To the Jackson Family please keep your head up and remember he is in the best place right now. He will never be forgotten!!!
When will this tribute dance happen?
Condolences to the Jackson Family. Michael will never be forgotten he was one of the best entertainers ever!!!!!!!! We love you Michael. RIP
I think Janet Jackson and her siblings should record a tribute track and do a tribute concert with other celebrities once a respectable time has passed. The music will live on forever. As they say heroes get remembered but LEGENDS never die!
