Judith Hill: “Heal The World” The Mystery Singer from Michael Jackson Memorial Service
by wildcherry on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 | Entertainment, News
When the all-star Michael Jackson memorial ceremony in Los Angeles came to an end today, millions of fans watching the event became curious about the woman who sang lead on Jackson’s “Heal the World.” The mystery singer was Judith Hill, a Pasadena, California-based vocalist who was recruited to be one of the backup singers for Jackson’s This Is It! concerts at London’s O2 Arena. Hill wowed the crowd and the millions watching around the world with her rendition of the Dangerous song, but her identity had most viewers baffled — the “We Are the World” and “Heal the World” performers weren’t identified in the handouts at the Staples Center or on any other documents distributed to the press.
According to the bio on Hill’s official Website, “Judith was born in Los Angeles and raised in a family of musicians. Her mother is an immigrant from Japan who met her father in a funk band in the 1970s.” Hill is described as discovering her love of music at an early age while growing up in a deeply religious household, which led her to attend the Christian university Biola University in Southern California. Hill’s bio says the singer next headed to France after graduation to perform with French singer Michel Polnareff.

When I saw this girl singing at Michael Jackson’s memorial service, I was immediately taken aback by how striking her looks were! Glad to finally have a name to go with the beautiful face! She really should try to forge some sort of solo career for herself! Move over Amerie, there’s a new half-Black, half-Asian R&B siren in the spotlight!
