Los Angeles was at the center of attention to the whole world today as the Michael Jackson Memorial took place at STAPLES Center. It was an amazing atmosphere there. There were over 27 news trucks parked along STAPLES Center and all the networks set up their shots in front of Star Plaza and Nokia Plaza. We will never see anything this big ever again. I think over 1 billion people watched this event today as it was broadcasted for free to any networks. I watched the memorial from my house from the start and it was pretty cool and really well run. Everything went as planned and that was good. L.A. will get a big tourism boost from this as people came from all over the world.
To me, I never really understood Michael Jackson. Before his death, I always thought he was a person who screwed up his life with plastic surgery and the child molestation charges. I never thought he was this popular. Also, I was scared to see his face as it was really scary. But now my perspective has changed after his death. I fully understood who he really was and I am not scared to see his face anymore. I'm used to it. Michael Jackson was a person who did a lot of good things for the world. He holds the record for the most money donated to charity as he gave to a lot of child charaties. Also, Jackson influenced many singers style like Usher and others. He invented the moon walk and blossomed. His songs are pretty cool too as I know "Beat It" and "Man in the Mirror". Michael Jackson didn't moleste that kid. The kid only said it so he can gain money. Michael Jackosn was a great man and very influential to the world. I know understand him after his death which is pretty sad. My generation will have mixed feelings about the king of pop.
Rest in Peace Michael Jackson. We will miss you!!!
