He was a real musical genius

I`d go for the 19% one, though I did like some of his music.

People, please, have some respect for the dead. Let Him RIP.

So many millions of fans tried to register for free tickets to a Michael Jackson memorial service in Los Angeles that they brought down the organiser’s website, as squabbles continued over custody of the star’s children and more evidence of drug abuse emerged.

The service will take place at the Staples Center, in downtown Los Angeles, after a funeral attended by family and close friends. The centre, which seats 20,000, was used by Jackson in the days before his death to rehearse for a run of 50 shows in London that had been due to start this month.

Fans have until 6pm today to register for the service on the website staplescenter.com . A lottery will decide who will qualify for the 17,500 tickets on offer, which will be allocated in pairs to US residents. The Jackson family said the website received more than half a billion hits by yesterday morning, causing the site to crash.

The service will be shown live on television and police and organisers warned all those without tickets to stay away. Assistant Police Chief Earl Paysinger said that anywhere from 250,000 to 700,000 people could try to reach the arena, even though a wide area around the Staples Center will be sealed off.

Michael Jackson’s body stored in crypt

Michael Jackson’s body is being held at a crypt owned by Motown legend Berry Gordy, it is being reported.

The King Of Pop’s remains are at the crypt as the Jackson family reportedly cannot decide where he should be buried.

The white-marble crypt is in the Court of Remembrance section of the Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills, says the New York Post .

The report also says that Jackson’s brain is still being tested by coroners.

Jermaine Jackson and father Joe reportedly want Michael to be buried at Neverland Ranch, while mother Katherine and the remaining siblings believe he should not be buried there as his final years at the ranch were unhappy due to allegations of child molestation.

He was acquitted of the charges but said he would never return to Neverland.

Was shocked when I came across one of Jackson's brothers walking with his family and bodyguards along the central avenue in Viena a couple of days ago. Seems that was him who was singing at the funerals in LA. Such a pity I didn't have a camera to take a quick picture of us standing together.
