Michael Jackson Memorial Service @ Staples Center Shaheen Jafargholi

Check out this video


Millions of people around the world watched coverage of Jackson’s memorial service on the Web, although the event appeared to fall well short of online viewership records. Global Web traffic was at least 19 percent above normal, and as high as 33 percent above normal, during most of the star-studded memorial at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, California, according to Akamai Technologies, a Massachusetts-based firm that monitors Internet traffic. CNN.com reported 9.7 million live video streams Tuesday between 12 am and 5 pm ET — which included the entire memorial service — according to CNN spokeswoman Jennifer Martin. The news site’s all-time viewership record for a full day, almost 27 million video streams, was set on President Obama’s inauguration day in January. During that period Tuesday, CNN.com also attracted 81 million page views, 11.8 unique visitors and a peak of 781000 concurrent live video streams, according to internal data.

    I have been an MJ fan for over 35 years and I think Shaheen did a fantastic job. He did better than some of the season singers that were on stage. MJ picked this guy to sing at his “This is it” concert for a reason and we say why. He gave me chills with his awesome voice.

    Shaheen did great, there was a reason why Simon stopped him from singing Amy Winehouse’s song and change it to something else, and he had MJ’s song for a backup, and now there’s a reason why the song was changed, because in the future he was going to sing it here, and good for him, it will make him famous…and well known…go Shaheen
