I took a lie on my bed being very certain that I would be up by 12.55 am.
......................
Before I knew it my eyes opened to bright lights. It was already close to 1.30 am.
Frustrated I pulled my tired body out of bed and rushed downstairs.
And I thought I would've been punctual to catch the MJ memorial. So many channels were streaming it live from the Staples Centre, LA-8tv, StarWorld, E! and CNN. Channel [V] came with an hour late broadcast.
I never thought that I'd be able to pull through the 2 hour 50 min long memorial. And who thought that the tears would flow like a huge waterfall in the middle of a rainforest. The tears first came when Jennifer Hudson performed MJ's Will You Be There. After that it pretty much went downhill.
I guess the most moving moment was went Michael's daughter, Paris stepped up to end the memorial. His tearful daughter Paris's voice broke as she told the millions watching the Los Angeles memorial concert: 'I just want to say... ever since I was born.... daddy has been the best father you can imagine. And I just want to say I love him so much.' To the many legions of fans and admirers around the world, he was a hero and an icon. But to little Prince, Paris and Blanket he was just plain ol' daddy.
I know that endless MJ related blogposts have been here. I just don't know why 'cause I never was a fan when he was around. It is amazing that even in his death, he has earned brand new fans.
