This video pretty much sums it all! Pay close attention to what this legend was willing to put himself through to get his vision right.
RIP MJ. There will NEVER be anyone that remotely compares to you.

I was almost in tears as I watched this.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about a talented young man by the name of Dezmond Meeks. Many of you might recognize him from American Idol Cycle 4.
Dezmond, like many of us, is obsessed with Michael Jackson & his music. To call him a “FAN” would be an insult not to mention, a HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT!
The day before MJ passed, Dezmond recorded this special acoustic rendition of “Billie Jean.” When news of MJ’s passing broke, you could only imagine how devastated Mr. Meeks was at the loss of his idol.
Nonetheless, his legacy will continue to live though TRUE artist, such as Dezmond Meeks & in the passion they have for the art of music.
Comment the post & let Dezmond know how much you LOVE his talents after the JUMP!
The entire Michael Jackson memorial was a heartfelt event but listening to Paris Jackson, M.J’s daughter’s, speech caused me to have a break down. The girl was in tears as she shared with the world how much of a great father Michael truly was.
It’s no secret that M.J’s favorite song was the classic,” Smile,” a tune written by none other than Charlie Chaplin (with lyrics by the English duo of James Phillips and Geoffrey Parsons) for his 1936 film “Modern Times.”
The audience sat in silence as they paid respects to one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived.
Check out this video footage from Jermaine’s rendition. Share your thoughts with me after the jump!
This had to be an amazing moment for the world as they watched 12 year old Shaheen Jafargholi, popularized on the hit TV show Britain’s Got Talent, perform his rendition of “Who’s Loving You!” The kid has major CHOPS! & his accent makes him even more adorable! Check out this video clip from his performance!
One of the most tear jerking moments for me at the Michael Jackson Memorial was Usher’s performance. His mild breakdown towards the end was heartfelt. I was all chocked up as he finished “Gone Too Soon.” He sent chills down my spine as he ended his performance by singing directly to Michael’s casket.
What do you all think of Usher’s Performance? Many of you stated to me earlier that it seemed phony. I completely disagree. Share your thoughts with me after the jump.
In case you missed it, here is a video clip of Stevie Wonder’s compelling performance at Michael Jackson’s memorial earlier today. His speech prior to his performance was moving, don’t you think? Tell me how Stevie’s rendition of “I’d Never Dreamed You’d Leave In Summer” moved you after the JUMP!
A very pregnant Jennifer Hudson performed her rendition of “I Will Be There” today at the Michael Jackson Memorial. She ROCKED IT! Everyone gave her a standing ovation! I’m proud of Jennifer for being courageous enough to perform while preganant. Thoughts? Share them after the jump!
I was in tears as I watched this live! Many of you thought MIMI didn’t perform to the best of her capabilities. I don’t see where she went wrong? I loved it!
Share your thoughts about this performance after the jump!
Hundreds of Thousands gathered at the Staples Center today in Los Angeles to pay their last respects to Michael Jackson. Many of us who could not make it to the memorial tuned in as one by one, the celebrities payed tribute to a legend loss.
Words cannot describe the emotions that stirred while the memorial service took place. Mariah Carey & Trey Lorenz sang a beautiful rendition of “I’ll be There,” while a comical Magic Jackson gave a compelling speech recalling a time he & Michael Jackson shared a bucket of KFC.
Regardless of which angle the performers & presenters delivered, the feeling was mutual amongst them all. Michael Jackson was an icon, legend, entertainer, performer, father, son, humanitarian that tried his best to change the world each day he lived. The legacy he leaves behind is incomparable. Today, more than ever, it was evident that only a man like Michael Jackson could unite millions of people in a peaceful gathering to mourn his loss.
Check out the pictures from inside the memorial. All I ask is that everyone please be respectful & have compassion to devastating loss.
Rest in peace, Michael Jackson. Your will be in our thoughts & prayers forever…
