00:00The one that touches me the most,

00:02it should touch everybody because this person has,

00:05I can say, has affected everybody.

00:08And that's Michael Jackson.

00:10From where he's come from,

00:13to what, like, when he was in groups,

00:22I don't get that sad when celebrities die.

00:24They're not my friends.

00:26Liam Payne's death is obviously very tragic,

00:29but I'm also not a One Direction fan,

00:34so I don't know.

00:43and that's when I found out that Princess Diana died,

00:44and started looking into her.
