Michael Jackson and Maya Angelou
I know he's been dead for quite some time now, and I sadly started listening to more of his music after he died (mainly because my mom has some weird ex boyfriend thing going on with him), but I was watching the memorial service and thought that Queen Latifah did an amazing job reading the poem by Maya Angelou. Can I just say that I love that woman? She wasn't even there reading the words, and it seemed as if her voice was transposed through the paper. Her words alone make me shiver. I just greatly admire her and thought that it was amazing that she created a poem about him.
