"Many blogs have speculated that Paris Jackson&amp;apos;s speech at her late father&amp;apos;s memorial was planned.\r\nBut Rev. Al Sharpton insists it was impromptu.\r\n&amp;quot;That touched everyone. And I think you couldn&amp;apos;t script that. She&amp;apos;s not reading a prompter,&amp;quot; he told CNN&amp;apos;s Larry King on Tuesday night. &amp;quot;This is a young lady &amp;#x2013; in fact, if you saw it, they had really said they wanted Janet Jackson to speak. And Janet kind of brought her forward. And she spoke from the heart about her father. I think she&amp;apos;s worried [about] the whole world [understanding] how human Michael Jackson was.&amp;quot;\r\nLook back at photos of Michael Jackson and his children through the years\r\nThe producer of the memorial, Ken Ehrlich, echoed the sentiment to CNN&amp;apos;s Wolf Blitzer.   \r\nSee how Michael Jackson&amp;apos;s appearance has changed over the years\r\n&amp;quot;A lot of the show was not scripted,&amp;quot; he said Tuesday. &amp;quot;Music was laid out, but most of the speakers really spoke from their heart &amp;#x2013; people who knew Michael well &amp;#x2013; and I think that&amp;apos;s what gave the show its heart.&amp;quot; He also said that the Jackson family told him &amp;quot;we don&amp;apos;t want to do a TV show, we want to do a memorial service. We hope you got the feeling you were watching a memorial service.&amp;quot;\r\nSee photos from Michael Jackson&amp;apos;s memorial"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
