Today thousands at the Staples Center and millions around the world mourned the loss of Michael Joseph Jackson. The following are broken cool's Top 10 Moments Of Michael Jackson's Memorial.
10. MICHAEL JACKSON'S CASKET ENTERS THE STAPLES CENTER
As I watched this I could feel it in my gut. It was hard to believe that one of my music heroes was inside that casket...someone who always seemed so alive was no more in the physical form.
9. JENNIFER HUDSON SINGS "WILL YOU BE THERE"
You can't say too much other than that she did a beyond amazing job. It was actually hard to believe she was able to hold in her emotion so well given the tragedies that she's experienced in recent times.
8. USHER GETS EMOTIONAL
Usher, like the rest of us, was overcome with emotion today as the world paid tribute to Michael Jackson. It would have been near impossible to keep it together being that close to the casket while singing an emotional song. He did an excellent job.
7. BERRY GORDY CALLS JACKSON THE "GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL-TIME"
I agree with Berry 100%.
6. SHAHEEN JAFARGHOLI PERFORMS "WHO'S LOVING YOU"
Who is this kid? He was a contestant on "Britain's Got Talent." Here is some of his work on the show:
His performance of "Who's Loving You" truly did Michael justice.
5. STEVIE WONDER'S TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON
As everyone says, there will never be another Michael Jackson. There will also never be another Stevie Wonder. Stevie's impossibly amazing voice belted out in tribute of MJ.
4. AL SHARPTON SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO MICHAEL JACKSON'S CHILDREN
"Wasn't nothin' strange about your daddy...it was strange what your daddy had to deal with." Forget about your favorite rapper, that's the line of 2009.
3. BROOKE SHIELDS
Brooke was tearing up from the start as she shared stories about her very personal time with Michael. There was some humor in this very touching tribute.
2. MARLON JACKSON
Marlon shared some truly touching memories of his time with Michael.
1. PARIS JACKSON TALKS ABOUT HER "DADDY"
If this didn't break your heart nothing will. When Paris says "daddy" it just makes everything so real.
