Yes, I was one of the few millions watching Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles live via CNN.com. Well, few would be quite an understatement, as tributes were also conducted on other parts of the globe in commemoration of his life and legacy.

With all the moving speeches by Brooke Shields, Motown founder Berry Gordy and Pastor Lucious Smith and fervid performances by Jermaine Jackson and Usher amongst others, MJ’s daughter Paris Jackson truly melted everyone’s heart, including mine. It left me weeping to tears. :cry:

To quote, she said:

“Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say that I love him so much,”

Here’s the heartfelt video of Paris Jackson’s speech that made all of us cry and feel her grief.

 

If you missed the whole event, you can still watch it via CNN Live.

Michael Jackon passed away at 50The world’s most renowned singer, the unprecedented King of Pop, was found dead early this morning.

The cause of Michael Jackson‘s death is not yet clear, but it was suspected to be cardiac arrest as he collapsed from his rented home in Los Angeles, California. The news is quite shocking and disturbing, so as the startling reaction of million of his fans worldwide.

I will forever cherish his hits such as Thriller, Billie Jean, Beat it, Rock with you, PYT, Black or White, and many more. Truly, he made quite a mark in music history by his revolutionary style and rhythm that changed music forever.

It sucks that MJ has to pass away long before his planned London concert in commemoration with Thriller’s 25th Anniversary (his album Thriller has been dubbed as the best-selling album of all time). His consummate performances, unparalleled legacy and moonwalks will forever live in our hearts and minds. :( Adieu, Michael!
