Who Would Like To Perform At Your Ideal Michael Jackson Tribute?
Today, tens of thousands of the luckiest of Michael Jackson fans have converged on the Staples Center in Los Angeles to pay their respects to the King of Pop in person. At this large-scale yet completely intimate in comparison to the almost two million people who wanted to get tickets and the millions of others who have been reeling from afar, a select group of musicians and artists and personal friends are paying their respects through presence, speech and song. It's a packed list that includes Mariah Carey, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Al Sharpton, Magic Johnson, and Stevie Wonder. It's a great list reflective of his massive impact on us all but surely the list is missing one or two people who you feel would give him a great tribute (or not). So, who do you think would've made a great addition to this memorial event?

I would have loved to have seen Siedah Garrett there performing 'Man In The Mirror' (after the video Harlem put up yesterday). Having worked with Michael in the past she had that personal link with him.
Also would have been great to hear Marsha Ambrosius sing Butterflies.
Others who would have made a great tribute: Diana Ross, Prince, Chaka Khan.

I think it would have paid a great tribute to his dancing genius. I just watch the memorial and I have to say Usher's performance made a brother shed a tear, thats real talk.
