MUSICAL TRIBUTES

An all-star roster of musicians performed: those inspired by Jackson, those influenced by his dazzling choreography, those who covered his songs and those who simply missed him.

Mariah Carey opened the memorial with a rendition of the Jackson 5 ballad I'll Be There with Trey Lorenz.

Jennifer Hudson sang Jackson's hit Will You Be There, and John Mayer played guitar in a delicate interpretation of Human Nature. Jermaine Jackson, who shares his younger brother's pure falsetto timbre, sang Charlie Chaplin's Smile, which he said was one of Michael Jackson's favorite standards.
