MJ memorial cast at Stapler Center

I spent the whole night watching it over and over again. From the realtime live casting till the EDT4pm and 7pm replay. Nothing spectacular about it. I'm expecting more of his past performances then others sang for him. The whole event actually ends at EDT 4pm. Which is a 12hours different from Singapore. And expecting a 4AM replay, it only flashed some particular highlights while at the same time, motorcade the casket. It was a good one. A helicopter was sent to follow them and we saw freeways and roads closed to make ways for them. They were ended up in a hotel i guess at ard EDT 5pm+. I was waiting for the updates of why they were there till 7.
Nothing was reported or maybe i missed it cos i was really too tired placing my eyes on the monitor for almost 7hours. I had fell into subconscious state. And soon after the replay started.

Many of my friends didn't managed to catch the event online. They were hoping for something interesting and i shared some of the interesting stories with them.

Few of my friends did stay awake for the event and after the discussion, we do find that some part of this memorial service looks fake. For the first moment i saw Paris giving the speech when she broke into tears in Janet's arms and till the recasting....First time watching it, it might seem to be hell touching. We were wondering how Paris made it to control her emotion over the past 3hours. Thus, i decided to focus my attention on her right before she speaks. Marlon was giving his speech on his brother before passing the mic to her. Marlon was really shattered, and he almost unable to carry on. At this point of time, i saw Paris wiping her cheeks with a handkerchief, then she shove it into her clutch bag. Janet's turned over and seem to be speaking to her while Paris expressed very calm. Maybe she's young. I really like the way she described her dad as. Well, all are my personal perception anyway.(Maybe i just wouldn't want to accept MJ death)

MJ left behind his fans and family. Leaving his beautiful daughter, Paris and 2 son, Prince Micheal and "Blanket".

Beside the interesting Paris speech, Magic Johnson really helped to relieve the tension of the ceremony with how he met MJ. His speech made the audiences alive, breaking into laughter.

Magic Johnson ordred a grilled chicken with the chief and the chief served him with the grilled chicken and Michael Kackson with a box of Kentuckey Fried Chicken. He was so shock but ended up, he and Michael Jackson sat on the floor enjoying the Kentuckey Fried Chicken.

Michael love KFC?

Others highlights will be Al Sharpton speech and also the touching ones given by Brooke Shield.

Below are the news after the memorial.

LOS ANGELES (AFP) - - Michael Jackson's young daughter, Paris, stepped out of the shadows Tuesday to pay moving tribute to the late star saying: "Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine."

The 11-year-old, speaking for the first time in public, fought back tears as she addressed millions of people around the world watching the ceremony, and hit back at all the gossip about their strange family life.

"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just wanted to say I love him so much," she told the hushed audience, before breaking down in tears.

After tributes from Jackson's brothers, Jermaine and Marlon, Paris said she wanted to talk and struggled only slightly with adjusting the microphone to her height.

"Speak up," her aunt Janet Jackson said softly, as Paris, dressed in a simple black dress, with a white waistband and holding a black clutch bag, bade her father a public goodbye.

Paris Katherine and her brothers, Prince Michael, 12, and Prince Michael II, seven, had joined a host of stars on the stage at the end of the long tribute singing along to "We are the World."

It was the first time the world had caught more than just a fleeting glimpse of the three youngsters, as Jackson, 50, always fiercely shielded his children from the public limelight.

His former wife of three years, Debbie Rowe, is the mother of the two eldest children, while the third also known as "Blanket" was born in 2002 to a surrogate whose identity has never been made public.

After being thrust into the spotlight from the age of five, Jackson went to extreme lengths to protect his children such as covering their faces in veils or masks whenever they were in public.

And they have not been seen since his mysterious death on June 25 from an apparent cardiac arrest.

But the three children joined other members of the Jackson clan at the Los Angeles Staples Center ceremony Tuesday, sitting between their grandparents Katherine and Joe Jackson just in front of the 14-karat gold casket bearing the body of their father.

At times Paris dissolved into tears as star after star spoke of Jackson's legacy to the world, while her youngest brother played with a Michael Jackson doll on his lap.

But she stood and applauded as civil rights leader Al Sharpton addressed the children directly and said fiercely: "There weren't nothing strange about your daddy."

"It was strange what your daddy had to deal with, but he dealt with it," Sharpton said, his voice rising in the rich cadence of a sermon.

Temporary custody of the children has so far been granted to Katherine Jackson, in line with the terms of Jackson's will, which also names pop diva Diana Ross as a back-up guardian.

But Rowe, who signed away her parental rights to her two children in 2001, has vowed to fight for them in what could presage a bitter legal battle, even though they are believed to have had little contact over the years.

"I want my children," Debbie Rowe told NBC television's local network in Los Angeles last week, adding she was willing to submit to any testing, including DNA, to prove she was the biological mother of Prince Michael and Paris.

Her lawyer Eric George later appeared to dial back on his client's comments, saying in a conference call no final decision had been made.

A custody hearing has now been set for Monday.
