I have never heard anything like this before- 16,000 people in one stadium-silent to say their final goodbye to the king of pop. My King, My Hero, Only One Legend- Michael Jackson. I'm leaving you with a few quotes who spoke at Michael Jackson's memorial and a peek-coverage by ES musica video:
"Both of us needed to be adults very early, but when we were together, we were two little kids having fun ... MJ's laugh was the sweetest and purest of anyone I've known," actress Brooke Shields.
"Michael was the biggest star on earth," singer and actress Queen Latifah.
"With the abrupt absence of our treasure, though we are many, each of us is achingly alone, piercingly alone," words written by poet Maya Angelou and read at Jackson's memorial at the Staples Centre.
"Michael Jackson went into orbit and never came down," Berry Gordy, founder of Motown records who launched the careers of The Jackson 5.
"Michael, we'll see you in heaven!" one audience member shouted out. Others responded with whoops and shouts of "yeah" and "all right". Everything about this ceremony was, for Jackson fans, tinged with magic and instant nostalgia.

Because of Michael Phelps' pot smoking photo, he has been suspended by USA swimming for 3 months, and lost his Kelloggs endorsement, what do you think of these decisions?
