his funeral is finally over…
truely rest in peace after everyone celebrated his life for more than a week after his death…
watched his funeral memorial service on 8th July morning until 4am!
surprisingly not so sad when watching his memorial service… i felt more sad when watching back his MTVs which show the very best of him
alot of artists performed at the memorial service to pay tribute to MJ
Mariah carey gave a beautiful opening stage performance!
some gave speeches of how he had a beautiful life and all
and i think, Rev Al Sharpton had the best and most powerful speech!
some even cried during the speech…

just to share my little thoughs..
what i do not understand is why people never support him when he is being accused of child molest, and only stood up for him when he is already dead?
but maybe that is how human behave, we usually see the flaws in a person and magnify it to the fullest when one is still alive and being very famous; we then only recall back the goodness of that person after it is too late for us to appreciate that person…
we should change the way we judge people, “minify one’s weak points and focus/magnify on the strong points”
i know, it’s easier said than done
even myself have to learn that from the beginning
i learned alot from studying MJ’s song lyrics
especially “Man In The Mirror”, very very meaningful !

back at the memorial service, there are some very well said sentences from the speeches the artists gave:
Queen Latifah: “Michael Jackson was the biggest star on earth!”
Berry Gordy: “when he did his iconic moonwalk, i was shocked, it was magic!”
“the more I think and talk about Michael Jackson, I feel the King Of Pop is not big enough for him. I think he is simply the greatest entertainer that ever lived”
“you will live in my heart forever, i love you”
Rev Al Sharpton(best speech given): “as you climb up steep mountains, sometimes you scar your knee, sometimes you break your skin, but dont focus on the scars, focus on the journey”
“i want his 3 children to know, there wasnt nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what your daddy had to deal with!”
Smokey Robinson: “but he will never really be gone, he is goin to live forever and ever and ever and ever!”
MJ’s famous sentence: “There’s nothing that cant be done if we raise our voice as one”
MJ’s favourite song ‘SMILE’ by charlie chaplin, one of the meaningful song line: “Smile though your heart is aching”
Pastor Lucious Smith: “he is often imitated but not duplicated”
(he is correct…MJ can never be replace by anyone else who imitated him)

for me, the most touching moment in the memorial service, it wasnt the moment that his daughter burst into tears on stage giving speech, it was the ending moment when MJ’s brothers wheeled out his coffin while playing the man in the mirror music…..it felt like a real goodbye to MJ…..

goodbye my idol….as said by Berry Gordy, Michael…thank you for the joy, thank you for the love, you will live in my heart forever! i love you!
