At 7:55 a.m., an Ашер at the glass doors outside Staples Center in Los Angeles had a message for the thousands already gathering for the day's public memorial for Michael Jackson. "We are aware of your sorrow!" he announced in deep, affectionate tones. "We are aware of your pain! And we are aware of your joy!"
The man in the purple polo рубашка then instructed ticket-holders how to line up, and that Фаны would have to leave their Цветы and other "gifts" on a таблица outside the arena, all while insisting that "it is our pleasure, it is our privilege to welcome Ты ..." It was a moment of genuine warmth at an otherwise outsized international media event, and was maybe a better indication of what was to come than the chaotic days of planning that finally led to Tuesday's gathering.
Part funeral, part musical celebration, the two-hour Jackson tribute was a deeply emotional and public outpouring of grief, with rousing testimonials to the late singer and inspired musical performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Hudson. It was also the year's hottest ticket. Though 17,500 tickets were distributed freely to Фаны by lottery, online prices were reportedly as high as $2,000, but Фаны outside the arena found scalpers selling for as low as $200 each.
The media encampment across the улица, уличный was like the Oscars and a political convention combined, with satellite trucks and Телевидение cameras to the horizon. Обновления were coming from virtually every direction and cell phone. Two hours before the ceremony began, word was that Jackson's body would not be interred at L.A.'s Forest Lawn Cemetery (where a private ceremony was held early in the morning) but transported to the arena, either by катафалк или chopper. A man with a shaved head could be heard barking into the phone: "So he's not going to be buried?"
As most Фаны hovered by the main entrance, others gathered at the rear driveway to await the arrival of Jackson's hearse. When the wagon finally rolled slowly past, the golden casket covered in red Розы was clearly visible through a window, and a few cheered, but most watched quietly. "That's amazing," сказал(-а) Christina Garcia, 28. "It's an honor to be here. It's definitely a sad day."
Others lined up near the entrance to sign the collection of large white Jackson banners, leaving thousands of scrawled messages of devotion to the singer: "Praise God for the gift of Michael Jackson," "RIP Michael — Ты were the greatest" and "Always believed in you." Another woman in black wept as a seven-foot floral arrangement in the shape of a сердце was raised beside a bronze statue of former Lakers superstar (and Jackson friend) Earvin "Magic" Johnson. It read, "We Любовь you, Michael" in red and white roses.
Once inside the arena, Фаны and mourners were handed free programs with pages of photographs and testimonials from Jackson's brothers and other friends. But this was a memorial, not a pop concert. Funeral wreaths lined up against the stage. The mood was often solemn.
Smokey Robinson began by Чтение statements from Diana Ross and Nelson Mandela, and the first of many Фаны Фан shouted, "We Любовь you, Michael!" But it was mostly silence and then a standing ovation as Jackson's family took their seats. The choir sang "Hallelujah! Hallelujah! ..." and the singer's golden casket was rolled out by his brothers Актёрское искусство as pallbearers, each of them wearing a single, sequined glove.
Mariah Carey was the first to perform, stepping out in a black, low-cut платье, бальное платье to begin a fragile "I'll Be There," the Jackson 5 hit, rising with passion as she was joined by Trey Lorenz. Pictures of the young Jackson 5 singer flashed on the big screen behind them.

Once all alone
I was Остаться в живых in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
Ты suddenly appeared

Chorus
Ты are the sun
Ты make me shine
или еще like the stars
That twinkle at night
Ты are the moon
That glows in my сердце
You're my daytime my nighttime
My world
You're my life
Now I wake up everyday
With this smile upon my face
No еще tears, no еще pain
Cause Ты Любовь me
Ты help me understand
That Любовь is the answer to all that I am
And I'am a better man
Ты taught me by sharing your life
Chorus

Ты are the moon
That glows in my сердце
You're my daytime my nighttime

When I wasn't strong
Ты gave me hope when all hope is Остаться в живых
Ты opened my eyes when I couldn'tt see
Любовь was always here waiting for me
I was Остаться в живых in a world of strangers
No one to trust
On my own, I was lonely
Ты suddenly appeared
It was cloudy before but now it's clear

Smile, though your сердце is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If Ты smile With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time Ты must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just...
Smile, though your сердце is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If Ты smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile...
That's the time Ты must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If Ты smile With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile if you'll just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time Ты must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just...
Smile, though your сердце is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If Ты smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile...
That's the time Ты must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you'll just Smile
Sung to our hearts
Removed evil from our worlds with your sweet loving nature.
But behind your smile was both happiness and pain.
Ты carried the pain,
While we, oblivious, украл, палантин the happiness.
A луч, рэй of sunshine and in a class of your own.
This world ever trying to destroy your light, not worthy of any part of your life.
Yet Ты never saw it that way and gave us everything till nothing was left.
How could we have placed hatred on someone completely incapable of it.
In heaven now, Ты have been set free to live eternally where Ты belong. No pain will reach Ты up there, of that I’m sure.
Ты entered this world loved, left loved, and forever will be loved - what happened in between is unforgivable on our part but I pray that Главная at last it can be dealt with.
- Ты сказал(-а) Ты saw the face of God in children, we saw it in you.
R.I.P Michael.
