Usher sings Gone Too Soon at Michael Jackson Memorial Service

American recording artist Usher was the sixth in a string of celebrities to perform at the memorial service for Michael Jackson today.
Usher sang Gone Too Soon in front of a capacity audience at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles during the two-hour long performance to celebrate the life of the dead King of Pop.
The memorial service got underway some 45-minutes late, after the dead 80s King of Pops body was transported in a motorcade from the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood Hills, to the site of the memorial service, amidst a massive security cordon.
Jacksons $US25,000, 14-karat gold-plated, solid bronze coffin, bedecked with a huge bouquet of red roses, was the center of attention in the stadium, with millions of people around the world joining together to watch the show.
Prior to the memorial service beginning it was estimated the world-wide viewing audience from television, streaming internet, movie theatre screenings and iPhone streams could easily top two billion.
Others to participate in the two-hour long memorial for Michael Jackson include:
* Brooke Shields
* Lionel Richie
* Magic Johnson
* Mariah Carey
* Kobe Bryant
* Berry Gordy
* Jennifer Hudson
* Shaheen Jafargholi (finalist on Britains Got Talent)
* Martin Luther King III
* Bernice A. King
* Stevie Wonder
* Smokey Robinson
* Rev. Al Sharpton
* Ron Boyd (family friend)
* Pastor Lucious Smith (family friend)
* Andrae Crouch Choir

I still feel the pain. Michael is , not was, the KING OF POP and spawned a lot of mini-MJ's...Usher, Neyo, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, etc... and CAN NEVER BE REPLACED.
