Michael Jackson's Memorial Service - Usher's Gone Too Soon

I haven't watched last night the Memorial Service Live coverage but fortunately there are videos in YouTube where I watched some of the footage. This morning, I read from my Plurk and Twitter that Usher's Gone Too Soon was well performed, so I watched it first before the other performances.

Here's the touching performance of Usher.

We are the world, Heal the world and message of MJ's daughter Paris.

RIP MJ.

We'll miss you..

Michael Jackson's Black & White - Acoustic by Ina-T

I just found a video from Youtube an acoustic rendition of the Black or White hit song of Michael Jackson. Though the group is not that popular i think they're good with their version of the said hit song.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this video by Ina-T.

Young Michael Jackson

Michael started his pop sensation since he was 11 years of age as member of the Jackson 5. What others don't know was his physical and mental abused experience from his father.

From a young age Jackson was physically and mentally abused by his father, enduring incessant rehearsals, whippings and name-calling. Jackson's abuse as a child affected him throughout his grown life. In one altercation—later recalled by Marlon Jackson—Joseph held Michael upside down by one leg and "pummeled him over and over again with his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks". For years afterward, Jackson suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.

In 1988, Jackson released his first autobiography, Moon Walk, which took four years to complete. Jackson told of his childhood, his experience in The Jackson 5 and the abuse he suffered as a child.^[60] He also spoke of his plastic surgery, saying he had two rhinoplastic surgeries and the surgical creation of a cleft in his chin.^[51] In the book, he attributed the change in the structure of his face to puberty, weight loss, a strict vegetarian diet, a change in hair style and stage lighting.^[51] Moonwalk reached the top position on The New York Times best sellers' list.^[61] The musician then released a film called Moonwalker, which featured live footage, music videos, and a feature film that starred Jackson and Joe Pesci. Moonwalker debuted atop the Billboard Top Music Video Cassette chart, staying there for 22 weeks. It was eventually knocked off the top spot by Michael Jackson: The Legend Continues

Michael Jackson died

The sad news has been spreading today. As expected, he will be coming back for unprecedented 50 shows at London arena. Really sad for fans of the King of Pop.

The public first knew him as a boy in the late 1960s, when he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the singing group he formed with his four older brothers out of Gary, Ind. Among their No. 1 hits were "I Want You Back," "ABC" and "I'll Be There." Associated Press

Here's one of his songs that me and my wife really likes.



Condolence to the Jackson family.
