LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson's glimmering casket took center stage at the Staples Center, sitting for mais than two hours as celebrities memorialized the King of Pop under the watchful eyes of millions. And when the ceremony was over, it was gone.

By law, the golden casket that presumably held Jackson's body should be exactly where his death certificate says it is: back at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Hollywood Hills cemetery, the site of a private family memorial service held before the Staples ceremony. Los Angeles County records show the cemetery as the temporary location, where it must stay...

You went to school to learn, girl
Things you never, never knew before
Like "I" before "E" except after "C"
And why two plus two make four
Now I'm gonna teach you
All about love, dear
Sit yourself down, take a assento
All you gotta do is repeat after me

ABC, easy as 1 2 3
Ah, simple as Do Re Mi
ABC, 1 2 3
Baby, you and Me Girl

Come on, let me amor you a little bit
I'm gonna teach you how to sing it out
Come on, come on, come on
Let me show you what it's all about

Reading and writing, 'rithmetic
Are the branches on the learning árvore
But listen, without the roots of amor
Let me tell you, girl
Your...

Ah, on the floor and dance
Ah, on the floor and dance
So get on the floor
And dance with me
I amor the way you shake your thing
Especially

There's a chance for dancin'
All night long
There's a chance for groovin'
And it will be soothing
With a song

Then why don't you just dance across the floor
'Cause there's a chance for chances
And the chance is choosin'
And I sure would like just to groove with you

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I amor the way you shake your thing
Especially

So get on the floor
And dance with me
I amor the way you shake that thing, girl
Especially

No need for rejection
Determined to be
Gonna...

Where did you come from lady
And ooh won't you take me there
Right away won't you baby
Tendoroni you've got to be
Spark my nature
Sugar fly with me
Don't you know now
Is the perfect time
We can make it right
Hit the city lights
Then tonight ease the lovin' pain
Let me take you to the max

I wanna amor you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty Young Thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
And I'll take you there
I wanna amor you (P.Y.T.)
Pretty Young Thing
You need some lovin' (T.L.C.)
Tender lovin' care
I'll take you there

Background
Anywhere you wanna go

Nothin' can stop this burnin'
Desire to be with you
Gotta get to you...

If you call out loud
Will it get inside
Through the coração of your surrender
To your alibis
And you can say the words
Like you understand
But, the power's in believing
So give yourself a chance

'Cause you can
Climb the highest mountain
Swim the deepest sea, hee
All you need is the will to want it
And uhh, little self-esteem

So keep the faith
Don't let nobody turn you 'round
You gotta know when
It's good to go
To get your dreams
Up off the ground
Keep the faith, baby, yea
Because it's just
A matter of time
Before your confidence
Will win out
Believe in yourself
No matter what it's gon' take
You can be a winner
But you...

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 Tuesday's star-studded tribute to the "King of Pop" at Los Angeles' Staples Center.

"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 amor him so much," she said as she burst into tears and sought refuge in the embrace of family members. Watch her emotional goodbye »

For many watching, Paris' appearance marked a rare glimpse of a child who has...

Our sin, is in the fact that we only saw or wanted to see what "we" created -a persona, and not, a "person". Michael Jackson was a pure, gifted, and deeply caring MAN who, at the end of the day.. had certain "ailments"..."feelings"..."hopes"...and need for "love" (just like the rest of us). HOW DARE WE JUDGE HIM.

I am a black female, 37, and loyal Michael Jackson fã who's 'heartbroken'. Just "sick" with emotion and disbelief over what appears to be the most evident TRUTH regarding "who" MJ was.

We can't allow this secret to stay undisclosed. For "MICHAEL", we have to set the record straight...
