MJ's Memorial Live on CNN

Michael Jackson's Memorial was a memorial that I'll remember for a long time. Though I'd missed a large part of the memorial but the remaining ones brought me to tears in no time (coincidentally I'd a happy hour get-together with my colleagues after work. By the time I got home, it was pretty late). It was done so spontaneously and so beautifully with all the performances and speeches by his friends and family. To see his beautiful children for the first time, it was also quite shocking as he shielded them from public eye since they were borned.

I quickly caught up the rest that I've missed on CNN.com. Personally, I especially like Brooke Shields's and Marlon Jackson's speech and the song that Usher sang was so beautiful. I can't help it but I just teared up watching the memorial. Despite MJ's setback in his life for the past few years with the accusations and financial trouble, I practically grew up with his music. He had such an amazing talent; to be able to produce such meaningful and beautiful songs throughout his entire singing career. If I look closely into some of his lyrics such as "Man In the Mirror", "We Are the World", it was beautiful. Don't forget, his music videos were equally amazing! I sure do miss him...my biggest regret that I'll never see him perform on stage :(

Michael Jackson - RIP

I was woken up by this tragic news of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop has passed away from a cardiac arrest at the age of 50!!

Despite all the child molestation allegations against him, nobody can deny that we grew up with his songs, 'Beat It', Billie Jeans, Thriller, Bad, his dance moves; the legendary "moon-walk" dance, etc, he was the legendary King of Pop. I loved his music videos and his songs. I remembered when I was still in school, I used to watch his music videos and trying to imitate his dance moves (if that is possible). He was also one of the great artist that I would want to watch him perform on stage. It was my biggest regret that I'd missed his concert in Malaysia many years ago and I heard he was in his best form. And now I'll never see him on stage again....:(

While his career and wealth had waned greatly but this never stop his comeback last curtain call concert in London been sold out; 11 tickets were sold per second to be precise.

Since I woke up this morning, I was hogging CNN as they are doing a full coverage on Michael Jackson. As fans around the world mourn it is likely Michael Jackson will be remembered as a musical hero -- but also a man with human flaws. RIP Jacko.
