Michael Jackson in Memoriam

Michael Jackson has left us for 2 weeks now (25 June 2009), his memorial service (7 July 2009) was witnessed by the world .. nothing compared to Elvis or Princess Diana or even JFK's funeral .. the world somehow stopped that day for remembering the King of Pop. Stevie Wonder wrote a special song "Never dreamed you'd leave in Summer. It was touching .. Stevie also said "Even though we need him here, God needs him more up there!"

Yes, he might not be the perfect person, but he is still a person who made a big impact to the world of music and the world of humanity .. he was the person who joined blacks, whites, Asians, latinos and all other races in one .. we could all remember from his MV "Black and White".

His Memorial Service was attended my his families and friends and thousands of fans .. many beautiful words came out from his close friends that night on how great Michael is. One special quote from Reverend Sharpton to Jackson's children "there weren't nothing strange about your daddy, It was strange what your daddy had to deal with but he dealt with it"

One newspaper wrote something like, it took Michael everything, even his life to be recognized and accepted by the world .. so true. Despite all the greats songs, wonderful performances he had, but his life controversy covered his achievements. All his life, he wasn't a happy man .. from his young age 'till he closed his eyes forever, he was faced to endless problems and accusations and yet he held his head high and faced them all.

And .. through one of his best friends, Brooke Shield, we learned that Michael's favorite song is Smile wrote by Charlie Chaplin .. the lyrics somehow reflected his life .. no matter how hard your life is, just Smile .. everything will passes by.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

From the 90 minutes of Michael Jackson Memorial Service, I think this clip was the highlight .. I personally broke down and cry .. no matter how crazy we all think of Michael Jackson, he was a great person and YES, a wonderful and loving father of his 3 children .. Prince, Paris and Blanket -- even we don't know whether they are his biological children, but he loves them dearly.

Lee Hom wrote on his Facebook today "Still in shock from MJ's passing. What a tragic loss. There will never be a greater entertainer. Finger pointing, tabloid frenzy, endless accusation and speculation, more than anything else, I hope he showed us we should always treat others with respect and dignity. Michael, rest in peace."

Indeed it is a tragic loss .. so please people, leave him alone, let him Rest in Peace. Now that he's gone .. just remember him for what and who he was. And I really hope he'll be buried soon and hope they just stop the autopsy, it's just soo sad if he really gonna be buried without his brain :(

Note. Neverland is now on my list -- place I have to visit before I die. Rest in Peach Michael, watch us from up above.
