January 7, 2022Absolutely Fantastic!!
If you’re on the fence about hiring MJ 3 Legends HIRE HIM. He is an incredible performer and exudes talent and love of being on stage. Not only is he a fantastic entertainer but he’s also a fantastic person, and we all thoroughly enjoyed meeting and getting to know him. He flew to Boise to perform at my husband’s surprise birthday party, and was the ultimate professional while being extremely easy to work with.
All of our friends just LOVED him, and I will definitely be passing his info along to as many of my friends and business peers as possible. He’s the best!!

September 11, 2021Whoa!!!
Jovan, as Michael Jackson, arrived right on schedule, at our venue in Monroe GA, to close out the show, on the night of our beautiful wedding on 9-5-21; and what a SPECTACULAR SHOW IT WAS!!!!
It was so hilarious initially, when MJ first entered into our dance hall at the start of his performance, because one of the children watching, immediately started crying and sobbing, saying “Oh my god! Mommy, mommy Michael Jackson is still ALIVE!” Lol tooooo funny!!!
And I must say that ironically, for a moment in time, it felt as if Jovan REALLY DID bring Michael back to life…
It was such momentous, unforgettable experience, and an amazing and astonishing performance. EVERY move, EVERY twitch, and EVERY expression was done so perfectly! It’s easy to see and tell, that Jovan is an artist with a gift, who is extremely passionate about his work!
At the end of the show, a lucky member of our family was also fortunate enough to catch the vintage MJ hat, which was randomly tossed into the audience just after the “Billy Jean” moon walk performance! What a special treat and surprise!!!
Afterwards, Jovan even stayed long enough for everyone to snap photos with him as the one and only icon; which was ‘The cherry on top’…
2 Thumbs Up! 10 out of 10!! Bravo!!! Encore, Encore!!!!!

July 5, 2021Perfect Perfect Perfect
Javon performed at my wedding on July 2nd and it was absolutely perfect. We wanted a fun and exciting celebration. Javon added that special touch to our special day. From the beginning, Javon was very professional, quick to respond, very clear about his performance and communicated well with my wedding planning team. With all the stress I had planning my wedding, I am so happy to say that my MJ performance was not of any concern. Javon contacted my DJ and wedding coordinator before I did!!! Lol lol
As far as the performance!!! He absolutely killed it!! Our families were soooo surprised and just loved the show. All of our guests, young and old enjoyed every bit of the performance. Afterwards Javon stayed and took pictures with my husband and myself as well as with my guests. If you are looking to add a special touch to your event, I highly recommend Javon Carter Michael Jackson 3Legends.
Thank You Javon, you are just awesome.

June 27, 2024Awesome Entertainer!!
Jovan Carter (Michael Jackson) performed at our "Chattavegas" event in Chattanooga for over 300 people. He was fabulous!! Did a great, great job as Michael Jackson - singing, dancing and interacting with the crowd which made it so fun. He was so professional and such a nice person. Everyone loved the performance and getting to interact with him and take pictures after the show was another huge plus. I will happy book him again and again for future events.
Thank you so much Jovan - can't compliment you enough!!
