Cry, Cry, Cry

Michael Jacksons memorial was held today at the Staples Canter. I had to watch on T.V. because I wasn't one of the lucky thousands that got to attend. It was one of the most touching things I have ever witnessed. Mariah Carey's opening with "I'll Be There" was touching. I teared up. Brooke Shield's speak was beautiful and funny at the right moments. Her speech did him great justice and let us take a peek at who Michael really was. Rev. Al Sharptons speech was something America, the world, and especially his children needed to hear. Jermain's rendition of "Smile" and Marlon's speech were hgihlights. The most touching, tear jerking part of the whole memorial goes to his daughter, PAris Michael Katherine Jackson. For the first time in a long time, all three of Michaels kids were out in public without anything obscuring their faces. I was personally curious as to what the kids were feeling and if they were going to say anything. I really wasn't expecting any of them to say much. But Paris had something to say. And when she got up and said what she needed to say, I swear I hear the whole world cry. That was a very brave thing for her to do. She had to lose her dad and deal with all the emotions in a very public eye. I give her mad props for doing what she did. I just want to give her a big hug.
John Mayer did a great version of Human Nature, one of my favorites.

And in case you want to cry...

It gets me everytime
