Millions of people all over the world stayed tune to the live coverage of Michael Jackson’s public memorial. 20,000 people flock to Staples Center, Los Angeles to celebrate the King of Pop’s life. Family and friends of Michael Jackson remembered his contribution to the music and to the world.
Brooke Shields expressed her breaking heart as she remembered her younger moments with Michael Jackson, as well as Berry Gordon, founder of MoTown Records, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant, Stevie Wonder.
The most touching moment for me during the memorial is when the whole family of MJ was onstage and Paris Jackson, one of Michael Jackson‘s three young children, and spoke about her late father. With Janet Jackson on her side, she broke down saying that her father is the best father imaginable… her voice cracked as well as her heart when she expressed her love for her father.
Growing up under shades, blanket, masks, Michael Jackson made efforts to protect his children’s faces from the paparazzi for more than a decade. But on Tuesday, in front of an audience of thousands at the Staples Center and millions more around the globe, 12-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Prince Michael; 11-year-old Paris-Katherine; and 7-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket clutching a Michael Jackson doll, sat in the front row, taking in their father’s memorial service at Staples Center.
The ceremony’s significant spotlight was on Paris addressing the crowd while fighting back sobs. She breaks down in public in remembrance of her dad as millions of fans’ heart mourned with her.
“Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” she said, her tiny voice cracking. “And I just wanted to say I love him — so much.”
Another tearful moment was Jermaine Jackson singing a song for his brother. Viewers all over the world were stricken with emotion when the elder Jackson who was in tears performed his brother’s favorite song, “Smile.”
The group performed “We are the World” on the stage to honor Jackson’s role in bridging races.
Jackson sold an estimated 750 million copies of his album. Only Elvis Presley and the Beatles are within this record.
