2010-11-14T17:22:00.002+03:00

I’m reaching out to the poor people

The sick and the alone

I’m reaching out to the fortunate who can build their own homes

I’m reaching out to the ones who seems to have lost their way

And I’m calling on all the ones who can show them a brighter day

I believe if you believe then we can achieve anything

So lift your voice and give it everything

Now let you’re your heart sing

Africa to America........

WEEZY Writes One Last Letter

2010-11-14T16:23:00.001+03:00

Lil Wayne releases his final letter to fans the day he gets released from Rikers Island:

Letter #10: The End of a Long Journey

Hello world! My world! Our world!

As I greet you all in my last days on this island, I must reflect. I think back to when I first arrived and I had no clue of what I’d be experiencing. I was never scared, worried, nor bothered by the situation. For that, I thank God, my family, and you, my amazing fans. I prayed for you all every night, as I’m aware that I was in your prayers as well. The very first day that I received mail, it was about 300 pieces or more! I smiled like a child of Christmas. But when I began to read them, my heart smiled. I laughed with some of you, reasoned with some of you, and even cried with some of you. I responded to as many of you that time would allow. I plan to keep reading and responding after my release. I thank you all for being so very supportive, as I never imagined how much impact my words and life can have. With this knowledge, I vow to continue to be me! For you have assured time that I don’t have to change for no one but God. I will be the same Martian I was when I left, just better. You fans are more than amazing, and I will for to the end of the world for your love. This isn’t the last of weezythanxyou.com I will continue to thank you when I’m home.

I simple LOVE you all.

P.S. Thanx for supporting my YM team the way you do!!

Now I like to thank my wonderful family and friends for never letting me down. Your love and support is worth the world. I am grateful for you all and I couldn’t have done it without your love. Also, I thank everyone who came to visit me. That shit meant a lot, straight up! I would do the same, if not more for you.

Now I must dedicated something to the woman in the picture…

…sitting on this bed with my back against one of the four walls I’ve been confined to, all I can think of is you. Staring at you staring at me, from the picture of you that I see. I try so hard to make the picture smile. You look so serious. Seriously beautiful. You, me, we are one. Then I look further to the right and there’s a picture of “the bed by the water”… where I dream to be with the woman in the picture that still won’t smile. I sometimes talk to the picture, but it never responds. Although, I’ve been told that a picture speaks a thousands words, I only wish that this picture would speak of four… “I love you too.” That would be the perfect response to what I frequently say to it. You see, the picture of “the bed by the water” has sand in it, and the woman in the other picture has sand in her hair… put them together, and she’s there. And when I dream, I’m there with her. Shhh… quietly these four walls become that place in the picture. And the woman in the picture begins to whisper… “I love you too”… she responds!

And now she smiles. Imagination is perfect.

Dedicated to the woman in the picture.

Gone!

D'BANJ PROFILE - NIGERIAN ARTIST

2009-10-31T14:08:00.000+03:00

D’Banj was born as Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo in the Northern city of Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria to an artillery Officer and a church dignitary whom hailed from Shagamu in Ogun state.

Due to his father’s job, D’Banj moved several times within Nigeria as well as abroad to India.

He was sent to Nigerian military school at age 11 and was expected to enter the military like his father, but at 14 D’Banj picked up a weapon of different kind and altogether more peaceful; the harmonica. He was introduced to this instrument by his late elder brother, Femi Oyebanjo who tragically died in a plane crash at age 17 on his way en route Lagos from NigerianMilitarySchool, Zaria. His brother’s harmonica was one of his possessions recovered after the incidence and D’BANJ started to cherish it. His incredible harmonica skills are self taught; he says, “I play the harmonica like it was built for me”.

D’Banj became more and more involved in music and he cannot see himself doing anything else with the same passion. His song “All The Way” is about the struggles he has faced with his parents over his chosen career.

Dapo has now adopted the elegant, almost French-sounding name “D’Banj”, a combination of his first name Dapo and his surname Oyebanjo.

He has recorded songs with established artistes like Ruggedman, JJC & 419 Squad, Weird MC, El Dee Da Don, Ikechukwu, SID and the newest sensations like; Wande Coal and D’ Prince among others.

He has also performed along side many international artiste here in Nigeria; Bennie Man, Wayne Wonder, Kevin Little, Ja Rule and was adjudge the best Nigerian performer at the THIS DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL which was held in Nigeria in October, 2006. He performed at the mentioned show along side international music icons like Beyonce, Jay Z, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliot, En Vogue, Ciara.

He performed at “History of love 101 concert” alongside Donell Jones, 112, Kenny Lati Moore and Chante Moore on the 10th Of February, 2007.

D’Banj is moving from height to greater height everyday, the beginning of his achievement recognition came when he won MOST PROMISING MALE ARTISTE AT THE KORA AWARDS, 2005.

X Plastaz represent Africa at BET Hip Hop Awards 2009

2009-10-26T18:41:00.000+03:00

America’s annual ‘gathering of giants’ pays tribute to Tanzanian hip hop Rapper Gsan of the group X Plastaz from Arusha, Tanzania, is representing Africa in this year’s edition of the BET Hip Hop Awards, broadcast on October 27 on BET (Black Entertainment Television) in the USA. Meanwhile, X Plastaz’ dj/producer Threesixty is heard all around the world through his production for major hip hop artist Redman (Def Jam).

The annual BET Hip Hop Awards are watched by millions of hip hop fans across the United States. Especially the part of the show in which Gsan participates, titled the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher, is highly anticipated as it’s a true gathering of giants in rap music. The cypher, in which the artists go back to the raw essence of hip hop, sees legendary dj/producer Premier team up with emcees such as Mos Def, Black Thought, Eminem and Joe Budden. The section in which BET pays tribute to the growing popularity of hip hop from East Africa by including Gsan sees the Arusha-born rapper team up with veteran rapper KRS One along with newcomers Wale and Nipsey Hussle.

The inclusion of X Plastaz in this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards came about when BET contacted X Plastaz, after seeing their music video ‘Nini dhambi kwa mwenye dhiki’ on the Youtube website. ‘Nini dhambi’ which has drawn over 400.000 views is one of the most popular East African music videos on the web. Gsan flew out to Brooklyn, New York where the cypher was pre-recorded in an empty factory building. His contribution was a rap in Swahili over an old school loop, cut up by dj Premier. While Swahili language hip hop was something new for the other artists, KRS One and Premier were full of love for the African input into this year’s cypher.
After recording the cypher, Gsan attended the Awards ceremony which took place in Atlanta on October 10, and which will finally be broadcast next tuesday, October 27.

Says Gsan in an interview with Emcee Africa presenter Lee Kasumba: “Well, the Cypher segment was recorded in New York before the actual award ceremony. For me, it was just amazing to be there with people like Eminem, KRS One, DJ Premier playing the beats, and being able to showcase what I had. Many people were blown away with what I did and asked me why I rhymed in Swahili ‘cause they wanted to understand. I was just like ‘English is not my first language, I speak it, I love it but you will be able to mess me up if I rhyme in English’. There were emcees from all over the world in one setting, and I was happy to represent for Africa. I wasn’t starstruck, just glad to showcase what I did and could do with my American counterparts. I mean, think of it, we really have the same names, just one word changes, African American and African, do you understand what that means?”

Also this week, X Plastaz dj Threesixty (real name: Bamba Nazar) is being hailed as a breath of fresh air in hip hop as his production for Def Jam-artist Redman was distributed across the internet. The beat reminds of the energetic old school sound of the late 1970’s and is a sureshot dancefloor filler. The song, titled ‘Coc Back’, is the first single off Redman’s long awaited new album titled ‘Reggie Noble 9.5′ which will be released in December. The video for ‘Coc Back’ will be out this week.

Watch Gsan from X Plastaz in the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher on tuesday, October 27 at 8 pm (EDT) on BET. Outside of USA the cypher can be watched on Youtube from the day after the Awards show.

TONIKS

2009-10-24T10:19:00.001+03:00

The year continues to be a blessed one for Toniks. Despite the hiccup faced as his debut album release was delayed, Toniks has gone onto bigger heights and has curved himself a niche as one of Uganda's rnb favorites. Toniks is now managed by Talent256 but his artistic side is still handled by Goodenuff . Following the massive success of this year's singles titled 'Ye Nze' and 'Nkutwaale' , Toniks is back into the studio to complete his first album which will be out in Nov 09. With more production from Goodenuff, the album will feature additional input from Swangz Av and also a collaboration with O.S (Omulangira Suuna) at Maureen Studio.

2009-10-24T10:15:00.000+03:00

Ngoni are currently in the studio putting final touches to their 3rd studio album. This album is a blend of different genres of music and it incorporates a wider range of musical styles garnered to broaden their fan base. The first two releases off the album ie Nina Omwami feat Desire Luzinda and lately Inzikuru are the only songs that are reminiscent of the definitive Ngoni sound you have all come to love over the years. In Patos words, this album is created to incorporate different ranges of instruments, languages and production style. The album is also geared towards a broader market and thus includes other languages like Kinyarwanda, Swahili, and predominantly English. This is a time we feel like we are getting bored with our sound, we have achieved beyond our wildest dream the identity we intended when we first came out, now its time to fuse more creativity and take it to a different level says AyDee. The album also includes more collaborations from Professor J, Tsunami Ndogo and Hafsa (Tanzania) and also Chilli Galz from Uganda, who are also working under the mentorship of Universal Entertainment along Goodenuff.

Blu 3 to launch “Be Free” album

2009-10-24T09:48:00.000+03:00

2009 has been a massive year for the 3 girl group Blu 3 and by the look of things; it’s their biggest of the six years they’ve been in the industry. Well, Blu 3’stwelve track album is done and every one is awaiting its launch that is due to take place on the 23rd of October at KCC grounds and Imperial Resort beach on the 25th of this month.

The album which is entitled “BE FREE CONCERT” will be graced by re-known disc spinner DJ Benny D who has made a resound name in Uganda especially after the successful concerts by Akon and Wycliffe Jean last year.

Bebe Cool, Bobi Wine SET RECORDS

2009-10-24T09:39:00.000+03:00

In one corner was Bebe Cool at kyadondo rugby club with his Agenze album launch organized by Balaam and Silk events and in the opposite corner was Bobi Wine at Africana people’s space with Carolina launch organized by Kibo and Events ware house. The judges were the fans and the fight was all about supremacy in the music industry. What started as a musical battle ended up with both artists making tremendous records that will take a music genius to break.

With over 10,000 people gracing his album launch, Bebe became the first artist to attract such a huge crowd at a concert while Bobi Wine usurped the record of getting more people at Africana previously held by Chameleon and the Goodlyf members while launching bayuda and bread $ butter last year. The self acclaimed Ghetto president received over 7,000 fans compared to the 5,000 and 6,000 received by the other artists.

Statistics also have it that Sunday 4th October is the only day in history where thousands crammed Bebe Cool’s and Bobi Wine’s launches at Resort and Gabba beach respectively.

Ironically or rather surprisingly, both artists have been showcasing their talents for over six years at different dates but none has been able to get the crowd they both received for the past few weeks.

However, rumor has it that Bobi gave out free tickets to vendors prior to the event in a bid to lure them attend his concert which went for 20,000 general and 50,000 V.I.P while some say Bebe allowed people to enter for free when tickets were sold out at the venue yet tickets were sold at 10,000 general and 30,000 V.I.P.

TAARIFA KWA VYOMBO VYA HABARI

WAFANYABIASHARA na wawekezaji nchini katika kongamano la kujadili fursa za utalii nchini mjini Dar es Salaam, jana, Jumanne, Oktoba 20, 2009 walimwomba Mhe. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, kuingilia kati matatizo ya sasa ya mgawo wa umeme kwa kuruhusu kuwashwa kwa mitambo ya kuzalisha umeme ya Independent Power Tanzania Limited (IPTL).

Kurugenzi ya Mawasiliano ya Rais, Ikulu, inapenda kufafanua kuwa tayari Mhe. Rais ameingilia kati kumaliza mgawo wa sasa wa umeme nchini. Tokea majuzi, Mhe. Rais alikwishakutoa maagizo kwa Wizara ya Nishati na Madini, pamoja na Kampuni ya TANESCO, kuchukua hatua za kuhakikisha mitambo ya kuzalisha umeme ya IPTL inawashwa, haraka iwezekanavyo, na umeme unaanza kupatikana.

Kutokana na kuharibika kwa mitambo ya kuzalisha umeme ya Songas, Ubungo, mjini Dar es Salaam, na Kihansi, Mkoani Iringa, Gridi ya Taifa ina upungufu wa megawati 80, ikiwa ni megawati 20 ambazo kwa kawaida huzalishwa na Songas, na megawati 60 ambazo huzalishwa Kihansi.IPTL kwa sasa haizalishi umeme. Lakini ina uwezo wa kuzalisha megawati 90 hadi 100. Hizi zinatosha kuziba pengo la sasa la megawati 80 katika Gridi ya Taifa, na kumaliza mgawo wa sasa wa umeme. Ni kweli kwamba IPTL iko kwenye mchakato wa ufilisi ambao unaendelea sasa mahakamani, lakini Mhe.

Rais Kikwete ameelekeza kuwa mchakato wa ufilisi mahakamani hauzii mitambo ya kampuni hiyo kuwashwa na kuzalisha umeme wakati malumbano ya kisheria yakiendelea kortini.Katika kuhakikisha kuwa umeme unapatikana haraka iwezekanavyo, Mhe. Rais Kikwete ametoa maagizo mbalimbali kwa Wizara za Serikali kama ifuatavyo:

(a) Wizara ya Nishati na Umeme, kwa kushirikiana na TANESCO, imeagizwa kusimamisha masuala yote ya kiufundi ikiwa ni pamoja na upatikanaji haraka wa mafuta, ili umeme huo wa IPTL uanze kuzalishwa mara moja.

(b) Wizara ya Fedha na Uchumi imeagizwa kuhakikisha kuwa inatafuta fedha za kuwezesha ununuzi wa mafuta na mahitaji mengine muhimu, ili umeme uweze kuzalishwa.

(c) Wizara ya Katiba na Sheria imeagizwa kuhakikisha kuwa inasimamia masuala yote ya kisheria yanayohusu suala hiloKatika kutekeleza maagizo hayo ya Mhe. Rais, jana, Jumanne, Oktoba 20, 2009, Waziri Mkuu, Mhe. Mizengo Pinda, tayari aliitisha kikao maalum cha Mawaziri wa Nishati na Madini, Fedha na Uchumi, Katiba na Sheria, TANESCO na vyombo vingine husika katika suala hilo kujadili jinsi ya kuhakikisha kuwa umeme wa IPTL unawashwa haraka.

Kupatikana kwa umeme wa IPTL utawawezesha mafundi ambao kwa sasa wanahangaika kutengeneza mitambo ya Songas na Kihansi kuifanya kazi hiyo kwa utulivu zaidi.Mhe. Rais Kikwete anaelewa fika matatizo yanayowapata wananchi kwa sababu ya mgawo wa sasa wa umeme, na madhara yake kwenye uchumi wa nchi. Lakini anapenda kuwahakikishia wananchi wote kuwa mgawo wa sasa wa umeme utakwisha katika siku chache zijazo.

Imetolewa na:Kurugenzi ya Mawasiliano ya Rais,

Ikulu,DAR ES SALAAM.

More Bling for the BBA House 2009

2009-09-06T20:23:00.000+03:00

It’s all about comfort and style
Fresh contemporary style, clean sophisticated finishes, Afro-chic interiors, and a revolutionary spirit….Welcome to the brand new BIG BROTHER AFRICA.On Sunday September 6 when M-Net’s much anticipated BIG BROTHER AFRICA: THE REVOLUTION hits DStv screens continent-wide, there will be a hidden star at the centre of the show, a newly designed and state-of-the-art Big Brother Africa house.The house is a marked departure from previous seasons, from its technology to its multi-textured, multi-faceted décor. Polished stainless steel elements sit alongside warm wood tones and rugged stone, whilst canvas drawn paintings share space comfortably with unique graffiti artwork. Bold colors against a backdrop of neutrals provide key focal points throughout the house while wide open spaces allow for a feeling of space and tranquility.Add one gleaming kitchen which could be termed a chef’s dream, with all the modern conveniences, plus an open plan lounge accentuated in leather and luxurious throws, and the house fuses classic design ethics with a fun, easygoing twist.Other rooms include an elegant bathroom, dormitory styled bedroom, polished dark wood dining area, and the always powerful diary room, this time with dramatic difference. Put together, and the Big Brother house is ready for action. Meanwhile outside, a decked patio offers cool comfort while the lush garden is offset by the sparkling plunge pool, the one element unchanged in tribute to last season.“It’s all about comfort and style,” says M-Net Africa Director Biola Alabi. “Whilst this is the Big Brother house, we understand that it’s also home to our housemates so we wanted a space where they would feel welcome, relaxed and at ease.”

Michael Jackson, Long Live The King

2009-07-16T19:15:00.000+03:00

There’s no denying Michael Jackson’s influence on hip-hop. From the countless samples to frequent MJ lyrical references, Jackson has been a hip-hop staple from the beginning. While other legendary black artists dissmiss hip-hop or refuse to be associated with the art form, the king of pop embraced it — collaborating with rappers like Heavy D, Treach, The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z just to name a few.

Unfortunately, with Mike seemingly going through constant scandals and legal trouble in recent years, the gloved one became somewhat of a punchline. Today, E!Link pays tribute to MJ by highlighting some of the more flattering lyrical shoutouts MCs have given him over the years. There are just too many, so we’re counting on E!

How can you tell when a woman doesn’t want a man?

Women really go to clubs most of the time not looking for a man. We need to get out, have some drinks and release. If you walk up to her on the dance floor and you dance with her and she’s not dancing with you, chances are she’s not looking for a man.

What’s your signature dance move?

Something like a two-step or the slow wind. When I’m feeling frisky, it’s the wind.

What can someone do to entice you onto the dance floor?

I like a good-smelling man. That would be No. 1—if I like his cologne. You don’t know much else in a club. You can’t hear them, you can’t really see them, but if he smells good, he has a fighting chance.

When do you know it’s okay to get hands-on?

It’s never okay to get hands-on, unless I tell you to. In a club, it’s never okay.

Can you think of a time when you were unexpectedly rejected?

I don’t think I’ve ever been rejected in the club. My pimp hand is strong. I don’t come on to men in the club, so maybe that’s why.

How do you let someone down easy?

I think the easiest way to let a man down is to tell him you’ve got a boyfriend, even if you don’t, because they can only respect that. Some guys don’t see the signs. You can be giving them all the yield signs and the stop signs, and they just still feel like you are giving them an inch, so they take that mile. It’s really sad that, for some guys to walk away without their tail between their legs, it’s easier to make up a story about having a boyfriend.

Has sweat or bad breath ever been an issue in the club?

Absolutely. You feel offended sometimes if someone’s arm scent is high. Or bad breath. They could have just gone out to eat, and they come to the club, and they don’t have gum. Or they do, but whatever they ate is taking the lead over the gum. It happens too often.

If you could choose any artist to be your dance partner, who would it be?

I guess it would be Usher, because in “Love in This Club,” he was a great dance partner. —JANEÉ BOLDEN

Snoop Dogg Using Ghost Writers for Malice in Wonderland

2009-07-16T18:40:00.000+03:00

No one can say Snoop Dogg isn’t honest. E! Xtra Link caught up with the West Coast legend to speak about his upcoming album, Malice in Wonderland, and The Doggfather revealed that like his last album he will be recruiting the writing talents of other MCs for the project.

When asked if he will be digging into his rhyme books this go-round, Snoop told E!Xtra Link that instead he will be the mouthpiece for other rappers words. “I got a couple of my little homies that’s putting the pen to the paper,” he shared. “I be letting my homies get on by writing and expressing they thoughts through me. I be letting them have opportunities to be a star through me.”

Although it doesn’t yet have a release date, Snoop says he is about “50 to 70 percent done” with the disc. “I’m trying to finish this tour up and then get back home, do a few things to tighten it up,” he said.

The album, which Snoop describes as a “feel good record,” will be released by MTV. As far as the music, the Long Beach rep says “It feels good, back to the basics. I mean, I don’t do all that hyping, that ain’t my thing. I just go to the lab, drop a single and then drop another single, then drop the album. If you fucking with it, you get it. if you ain’t, you ain’t.”

So far Malice in Wonderland features production by Ty Fyfe, Scoop Deville and Drumma Boy.

PROFILE - MICHAEL JACKSON

2009-07-09T18:00:00.001+03:00

Michael Jackson, one of the most widely beloved entertainers and profoundly influential artists of all-time, leaves an indelible imprint on popular music and culture.

Commenting on his passing, Sir Howard Stringer, Chairman, CEO and President, Sony Corporation, said: “Michael Jackson was a brilliant troubadour for his generation, a genius whose music reflected the passion and creativity of an era. His artistry and magnetism changed the music landscape forever. We have been profoundly affected by his originality, creativity and amazing body of work. The entire Sony family extends our deepest condolences to his family and to the millions of fans around the world who loved him.”

Rolf Schmidt-Holtz, CEO, Sony Music Entertainment, said: “Michael Jackson's unsurpassed artistry and beloved music brought joy to every corner of the world. We join today with his millions of fans in expressing our profound sadness and we offer our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. It was a true privilege for all of us in the Sony Music family to work with one of the most talented superstars in the history of music. We will miss him greatly.”

Martin Bandier, Chairman & CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, said: “Michael was the kind of amazing talent that comes along once in a lifetime. He was an incredible recording artist, an insightful businessman, an unmatched performer, and a true icon. To all of us at Sony/ATV Music Publishing, he was also a trusted and passionate partner, who was very proud of our accomplishments. He will be dearly missed. We wish his children and entire family our deepest condolences.”

Five of Jackson’s solo albums – “Off the Wall,” “Thriller,” “Bad,” “Dangerous” and “HIStory,” all with Epic Records, a Sony Music label – are among the top-sellers of all time. During his extraordinary career, he sold an estimated 750 million records worldwide, released 13 No.1 singles and became one of a handful of artists to be inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The Guinness Book of World Records recognized Jackson as the Most Successful Entertainer of All Time and “Thriller” as the Biggest Selling Album of All Time. Jackson won 13 Grammy Awards and received the American Music Award’s Artist of the Century Award.

Michael Jackson started in the music business at the age of 11 with his brothers as a member of the Jackson 5. In the early 1980s, he defined the art form of music video with such ground-breaking videos as “Billie Jean,” “Beat It” and the epic “Thriller.” Jackson’s sound, style and dance moves inspired subsequent generations of pop, soul, R&B and hip-hop artists.

Paris Jackson emerges as surprise voice of memorial

2009-07-08T11:41:00.000+03:00

Michael Jackson's eldest daughter touched the hearts of millions when she bid a tearful farewell to her father at his memorial service Tuesday in a rare public appearance. With her brief speech, 11-year-old Paris Jackson also shocked the event's organizers, who said her appearance was not a planned part of the star-studded tribute to the King of Pop at Los Angeles' Staples Center on Tuesday.

"Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, fighting back tears as relatives consoled her.

"And I just want to say that I love him so much," she said as she burst into tears and sought refuge in the embrace of family members.

For many watching, Paris' appearance marked a rare glimpse of a child who has spent most of her life shielded from the public.

Born to two mothers -- Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe and an unidentified woman who reportedly served as a surrogate -- Jackson's three children lived and traveled the world with him, their faces often covered by veils and masks when appearing in public.

In its execution, the speech appeared to be a surprise to those onstage and off.

"It was a surprise they were there. All of us who know them were delighted they were strong enough to come and feel this love and great outpouring for their dad," Kenny Ortega told CNN's Campbell Brown. "We would've never expected that they had the strength. It was beautiful."
Ortega said planners left the end of the show open for the family to speak if they wished to, but he was surprised when the Jackson clan -- among them, his siblings and children -- went onstage for the two last songs, "We are the World" and "Heal the World."

Marlon Jackson told the crowd that his sister, pop star Janet Jackson, wished to say some words. Instead, Janet appeared to encourage Paris to come forward from the sea of black dresses and suits and take the microphone, adjusting the microphone and stroking her hair as she delivered her words.

Ortega said he was "touched" but entirely surprised by Paris' speech.

"Michael was so close with these beautiful children," he said.

"Little Paris was his biggest fan. ... A little girl couldn't love her papa more."

The heartfelt display sparked a groudswell of emotion in the auditorium and around the world, where millions of viewers watched the service on television and the Internet.

"The saddest moment was when Michael Jackson's daughter spoke," said Angelina Martinez, who attended the service with her daughter, Jessica.

"She was really in pain. Everybody was crying inside," she said. "It was beauty combined with sadness."

Attendees, performers and speakers alike struggled for composure throughout the two-plus hour event, which featured performances from Lionel Richie, Jennifer Hudson and Usher.

But to many, Paris' tribute cast Jackson in the one role few have experienced him as: a father.

"It was very, very touching, and really it was an example of the good parent Michael was, because when I was at Neverland and with the kids he really was a good loving father -- they had a fantastic relationship, and they were very close knit," Stuart Backerman said.

"So to see Paris come on in such an emotional moment and obviously give her heart out to her father was very, very touching."

Others saw the tribute as a whole as Jackson's final legacy to his children.
"There are those I feel in years to come, will try to distort him to his children ... and not understand that the real challenges that Michael Jackson had to seriously face and did face and make a difference," Rev. Al Sharpton said.

"And I thought it was very important to put in context for his children what he dealt with in history and what he was able to do."
