after the wave planetary rev
ersatasi on his funeral, which took place on a planetary scale, the "Jacksonmania" ten times more important than the 'Obamania' a few months ago. Something I had not seen even for the funeral of Elvis Presley, John Lennon & Lady Di. the death of Michael Jackson TV chains around the world, or almost as many have become "Jackson Channels." Since then, some only send clips of the inventor of the moonwalk. In France, even the major networks generalist programs have been changed by deleting the information for days that were not from Neverland.
Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq: Enough! Only Michael Jackson! Services and tributes followed another, and from Los Angeles to Tokyo, via Paris, Buenos Aires and Nairobi, hundreds of thousands of people gathered spontaneously phone and mp3. We knew everything about Jackson, his origins, his career, his skin changes, its success (750 million records sold before his death), his latest works, his last moments of his offspring, the his finances, his legacy. All we had to know everything. All drowned in the deluge of dithyrambs and hyperbole: the greatest singer, the most brilliant, most creative, in a global emotion. Not done after the September 11, 2001 has had such coverage. None.
If you happen tomorrow the the death of Obama, Putin, the Pope would do ten times less noise. Moreover, many journalists will agree: as you might, even technically, to echo something more?
Hence the question: the death of Michael Jackson is really the most important event in the world for ten years? Even the comments of the fans are thinking. From California, they put them in front of the TV camera statements like: "The greatest singer of all time," "the most important man after Jesus ',' the death of a genius ',' will take years to overcome this grief," etc..
For the funeral, there were nearly half a million requests for tickets. Auctions on e-Bay came to a hundred thousand dollars per ticket. In the U.S., where the hysteria seems to be a component of social life, there have been dozens of suicide. The planet wobbles. A new religion! This is not news that huge crowds are ready to travel the world to witness a great event sporting or musical, while the political parties, trade unions and the churches do not mobilize as many people - which means something.
But now every border crossing was apparently also in proportion.

He also mentioned how Jackson had tried to teach her the 'Moonwalk', its typical step backwards, "his laughter was the sweetest and purest I have ever heard."

Usher's tribute
The King of R & B Usher sang "Gone Too Soon", a song from the album Dangerous Jacko published in 1991. The song was dedicated by the king of pop to Ryan White, a young man killed by AIDS that Michael had met just before he died.

At the end of the exhibition, Usher is burst into tears.

Memories of Obama
an "extraordinary" musical legacy left by what was "one of the greatest artists of our generation, perhaps of any generation." With these words, Barack Obama greets Michael Jackson a few hours after the funeral of the pop star. "I do not think that there are doubts about whether it was one of the biggest artists of our generation, maybe every generation," he told CNN, "I believe that as Elvis, Sinatra, the Beatles, has become a pillar of our culture" .
The most beautiful comments collected from the network
"Jackson wanted the funeral of the grandest story is not a $ 25,000 bronze casket but elephants, fireworks and even a spaceship! "
" Little Paris wept as he said he loved his father. A scream of love choked with emotion. He embraced his aunt always close to tears in the affection of relatives, and did so worldwide, normal thing if you are the daughter of a giant like Michael. In the U.S., the ceremonies are done so well, unlike us. The little Paris, with his brothers, and 'intended, however, to live with the spotlight on him, the same spotlight that illuminated the life of his father. And she already knows. The world 'so used to criticize the choices that Jackson continues to do so on an episode like this. Have been avoided? And why? We avoid certain events to watch us? We avoid advertising pouring out of us in Italy with children? And the mothers of the latter are condemned because they want at all costs that their beautiful little girl is shot on TV as much as possible, perhaps even in programs with the poor just for bragging rights friends? Paris shouted to the world his love for his father. With great dignity and courage. An example. As my father would have wanted. A very normal and affectionate father despite his immense fame. "
" If Michael Jackson was a pedophile, then Obama is the biggest criminal in the world ... They also understood that the stupid accusations of pedophilia were completely invented only to extort money from Jackson. Jackson was a weird but really nice with a big heart ... the 400 million of debt is also due to the huge donations made over the past 20 years. But this thing does not tell anyone ... "
"Thank you Michael ..... thanks for all the emotions that you found us with your talent and your charisma .... I will never forget your smile so you're a big ..... ..... I have never cried so much in my life that moved me last night that should come to your coffin coffin ... .... my pain will never go away .... I would say to those who had not still got the news Michael suffered from vitiligo, he has never denied being a black American and as for the surgery are due to major trauma as a child by his father and then the monster before you speak at least try to have a deeper knowledge rather than shoot and both AC *** the sake of it ... I love you michael .... you will always want it "
" Do not ask for a refund of the ticket ... I've already framed. "
"Of all my life and sometimes surreal favolesca Jackson, the daughter's words were heard and the only time true. That girl gave us imagine a normal Jacko, a father who helps children in tasks or maybe scolds them if they have done something. Of all the fair, in my opinion, was the only time humanly credible so do not criticize this choice. "
"They finally decided to take the stage in front of everyone, for a final farewell, and was moving his daughter and the whole community because it was all gathered around him in a last embrace, even if maliciously me you'd think the father and brothers who have for years have not calculated or just for the money they brought home first with jeckson and after 5 to 18 years as a soloist and the fact that his father beat him, sometimes the ceremony and demonstration of love was true and at times mirror of hypocrisy or just to say I was there. That thought made my heart now more than ever feel the lack of Freddy Mercury and other great Big Luciano Pavarotti we must remember them all because of genes per century and are counted and there are unparalleled. A salute to the star of my childhood I was the first video I saw her and I liked Matt not hours ..... he was in a salute to all the stars .... and that of 'pop and went for a company Lennon and Elvis and all the other ....."
"How many memories, so many emotions. We were kids, as he danced, listened to her hit, wonder how many of us with his music, have had moments of real life. I am 45 years old and I can say that Michael was part of my life, I grew up with him. E 'was icon in the world, testifying with his art that music has no boundaries, religion, politics and race. Thanks michael, legend of our time, that will never return. "
" Always better than many "VIP" (bah) selling photos of the children born just as the newspaper ... "
" For every child his father is the best of fathers, everyone sees it that way. "
" Yes, it has been long but as he himself said The thing that is grateful to the Lord, was to have the opportunity to experience the ecstasy of union between music and dance for the rest ... I do not think I've had many moments to enjoy, if not on stage and in the midst of his fans ... starting with his disease, vitiligo, which surely affected his psyche proven from the past ... a weak man who had a big heart! He broke the boundaries of music, has created the foundation of hip hop! But even now, unfortunately, will be at peace ... so let's take a moment and think about what has become a big star and that will never cease to shine! "
I conclude by saying that
I remember him as a person 
full of joy and good humor, that you wanted to stay young but raise your hand the man who does not think so and we put the soul trying to change the world with enormous gifts and entertainment that gave immense joy to all families who spent an evening at a concert. A person who, in turn, full of determination and seriousness at the right time, who loved their jobs. Sometimes strange, but that is the characteristic of people like him.
Of such people there are few, now they only look good fake hard, those who do not care for others and who have no morals, those who lie about everything. Just look around to see how I can be right.
But basically I'm happy, all over the world a multitude of fans gathered in his memory and I think that this has come to their positive message.
I understand that there will be a million and bastiancontrari skeptical about what I wrote, but
I want to remember that!
