REMEMBERING MICHAEL JACKSON: THE JACKSON FAMILY AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE
Tuesday, July 7, 2009

The Jackson Family stands on stage at the closing of the Michael Jackson public memorial service held at Staples Center on Tuesday, July 7th in Los Angeles, California. Jackson, the iconic pop star, died at the age of 50 less than two weeks ago.
At the end of the service, Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson said this:
“Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,” the 11-year-old said. “And I just wanted to say I love him so much.”

This was such an emotional memorial. I can’t stop crying, and to think I am just a fan who never met Michael. I can only imagine the pain and sadness that his family is feeling at this time. Rest In Peace MJ you will forever be the greatest entertainer to walk this earth!

The service was beautiful. Like they say how you live your life reflects on the type of going away you have. I was actually in summer school and my teacher was nice enough to let us watch it. I will never forget this day. Jermaine’s performance is what had me, but since I was in class I tried to hold it in.

That memorial was absolutely beautiful. I think every black person stopped what they were doing for a moment to see this. You see people in the streets in Harlem, watching him on the big screen, and people all over the world paying tribute. His children are absolutely beautiful, Paris was so brave to do that, and we all connected with her because when she was talking about her father, she made him seem “human”. A father, a brother, a friend.
I’m really going to miss him so much. His music, his smile, his eyes, his laugh, everything about him was so rare, and i doubt we’ll ever see such a character as he was. No one will ever take your throne away from you, Michael, and now you will live forever as the King of Pop.
I just wished you could see this. It would bring tears to your eyes. We always loved you, no matter what. No matter what they said about you, we knew the truth. God bless you, God bless your children, God bless your brothers and sisters, God bless Katherine, Joe and all of the lucky people who can honestly say you have touched their lives forever. I love you, Michael.

SANTORO AKA # 23 Its the lil things in life we cherish and l mean little by certain standards and different levels. Even though there are bigger problems in the world. Michael was a part of all our lifes and has touched many. We were remembering how great he was and how he tried to change the world. Truely FK!!! your war and you college tuition. Get on the same page and dont post irrlevent sh*t. I apologize but when we as a world find something we can relate to and all stop and think about. I mean something we all agree on, something that we can all feel and lean on each other about, not like war and politics. Some one like you cames around and FKs it up. Michael was about just that you complain about.And no matter where you were around the world ever stopped to pay homage…but as mike said “I’m only human” and you are so your forgiven. next time get on or get off!

What this article haven’t even reach 100 yet?! Its no wonder black music is on its last leg! An icon of generation and the biggest entertainer that the world has ever known and the article hasn’t even reached 100?! But if it was Rihanna it would be at 200 or more, right?
Anyways from Al Sharpton, to the Martin Luther King kids, Jermaine, Mariah, Usher, Stevie Wonder! This was the greatest sendoff that an icon like MJ could ever hoped for! It was emotional, funny! And it made me cry and smile! If you missed it you are truly a sad lot!
My prayers to the Jackson family, MJ kids, and prayers to MJ himself. My only for MJ is for his message of hope continues!
BTW, I remember specualtions in the past about MJ kids not looking like him or being white, well I’m glad that shit been SHUTDOWN!

Crying too much today- I do not have the words…but the Bible does…
“”But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.”
Psalm 37:11
Michael Jackson
Rest in the Peace that you sought in life, yet was not granted you until death.

What a befitting memorial/going away for a wonderful genius we know as Michael Jackson. What a day, ya’ll! First off, when Paris got up and spoke, that was all she wrote because I balled my eyes out. What a moving tribute to her daddy. Yes, daddy. Regardless of whether or not he is or isn’t her biological daddy, HE IS HER DADDY. Paris told ya that. These poor babies are without their daddy. I don’t think their was a dry eye with anyone who watched that.
Other highlights:
Al Sharpton: Excellent speech especially when he said, “I want his children to know there was nothing strange about your daddy, it was strange what your daddy had to deal with.” Go’on, Brother Al!
Jermaine Jackson - “Smile”
Jennifer Hudson
Usher
Paris Jackson - I cried a river just like everyone else.
I might’ve missed a few others, but overall, it was a beautiful home going for the greatest entertainer past, present and future.
We love you, Michael. No one will ever, ever replace you. You will forever live in our hearts. We have your music, videos, and everything written about you that we can remember as we celebrate your life and legacy.

There always got to be one stupid muthaf*cka to come ruin sh*t. #23, stfu. Im celebrating MICHAEL”S LIFE today. This BLACK MAN’S LIFE. I dont give a damn about those other iussues right now. For all I know and care, those type of issues gonna be around for years and years to come. Michael isnt. Some n***as are just jealous they couldnt have the impact Michael had on the world. A**hole.
I dont usually care for Al Sharpton , but if this man didnt knock the sh*t out the park. Had me on the floor, screaming “CHUUUUURCCHHHHHH”.
Paris, had me balling all over again..
Overall, this had to be the most beautiful memorial I have ever seen. Just beautiful and moving and touching. Let me go, my eyes tearing up again. Goodnight CL.

@ # 23 there are sites that deal exclusively with the wars and college tuition. There is also freedom of choice in this country and so you do not have to comment about the celebration of Michael’s life if it bothers you that much.

Donatella Versace received a personal request from Janet Jackson to outfit the entire Jackson family in Versace for today’s Michael Jackson memorial service!
Janet, LaToya, the Jackson brothers and Michael’s children will all be wearing custom-made Versace in honor of Michael, who had a long love affair with the Italian fashion house.
Michael was often seen wearing Versace both on and off stage and was a huge fan of the late Gianni Versace’s designs.
RIP MJ what a beautiful tribute. the memorial was flawless.

Micheal Jackson’s Memorial Service was very well put together!!! That was a great tribute for the greatest entertainer who every lived!! The service was so very touching and i would say touched anyone who truly has a heart! I was completely WoWed by this service and touched. MJ was truely a kind gentle soul and if I would have gotten the pleasure of meeting him I’m pretty sure he would have filled my heart with his kindness and caring heart. His children are absolutely beautiful!!
Al Sharpton… that was probably the best speech I have heard from you thus far! You better tell them voltures called the media and them haters!
Marlon…You better tell them to leave your Brother alone!
Stevie Wonder…. wow…. your voice is Still AMAZING!! I was wowed!
To All the performers and people who spoke…GREAT preformances! Every one of them were heartfelt and thanks for sharing your stories and kind words about Michael
Paris Jackson…Your father was amazing that let ANYONE tell you any different! May God be with you and your brothers through this tough time.
Jackson Family….Thank you for letting us be apart of your son, brother, fathers, cousins farwell…that meant more then you can imagine to alot of people! Your family amazes me with your loving for one another…Great family!
Michael Jackson… You will truely be missed!!! May your soul Rest in Peace!

I’m proud but very sadden to say that a had a chance to go to the actually memorial. The broadcast was very great in covering the footage, but the inside was amazing. you could honestly feel the spirit of everyone in the room. people cried on other peoples shoulder no matter their race, creed, or religion. Staples center was packed!!! This made up for that crap BET put together. Stevie Wonder made me cry and so did Jermain Jackson. He is the best entertainer and he will never be dupliated. I love him, I only wish I had the chance to attend a concert as opposed to the memorial service. I’m blessed and truely honored to be in the same room in as him even if its just he body. Absent from the body, present with the lord for those who love christ and believe in him. I have to say that enerygy their was amazing and that his fans should be honored because Mike truely loved his fans.

Grace the nanny was more of a real mom than Debbie would ever be.
Michael left Debbie out of the will for a reason. He knew if he put her anywhere in that will, she would have more power to come back and do what she wants. He did not want to give her an open door to those kids.

the more i look at these kids i swear they are really michaels..they strikingly resemble him..i think mike had certain genes taken out and put in debbie…he made sure to get rid of the nose gene lol..
me and my cousin were watchin it earlier when they were all on stage and we were chuckling cuz u gotta love the jacksons…all them siblings had nose jobs ..and thats not me bein ignorant lol..i love the jacksons..they are one hella family but that struck me when they were on stage lol..
i still cant believe mike is gone..he was at his peak when i was a litte kid–does anyone know what that movie was called that he made? it was awesome i used to loOOOve that movie and watch it all the time but i cant think of what it was called..and not the wiz…the other one

This was beautiful, perfect, fitting…for the King of Pop. My eyes are so swollen now, lol, I practically cried throughout the whole thing but I truly broke down when Paris spoke; it was so heart-wrenching. From Queen Latifah’s reading of Maya Angelou’s poem to the numerous people on stage singing the ever so beautiful “Heal the World” and “We are the World,” this memorial was seemingly flawless. And, I have to say, I think Paris is absolutely gorgeous! I can’t get over it I have been saying it to so many people ha ha… All of his children are beautiful.

to 114. @Terminator
I think you’re talking about “Moonwalker.” It was the one where he danced with that bunny lol
And i agree that the kids really take to Janet. She’d be a good guardian to them also. But I’m not surprised because look at how close she and Michael were.
Nonetheless, that was one of the greatest memorial services for THE greatest entertainer ever. I think I cried at least 5 times today, if not more- during Jermaine’s performance when his voice cracked at the end, Marlon’s speech, Usher’s performance, and of course when Paris spoke.
But the show also had it’s happier moments like when Smokey spoke about how Michael basically stole “Who’s Loving You” and he said, and I quote: “Let me see this man’s birth certificate.” lol
And Magic’s whole discussion about the KFC was hilarious.
Overall, this was a really touching experience. As we all know, it impacted his fans, but it also touched his haters and those who ridiculed him. I think they finally got to see the truly compassionate, loving, and pure individual that Michael Jackson was. Seeing Larry King’s eyes well up on CNN after the memorial pretty much solidified this observation. All those who mocked him during the last 10 years of his life are probably regretting their actions.
It’s just so sad that he had to die for people to finally see him for who he was all along.
In the words of Marlon: “Being judged, ridiculed. How much pain can one take? Maybe now, Michael, they will leave you alone.”

I held it together during most of the memorial, but Usher’s performance and Paris’ words had me bawling. The Jackson family is a strong, beautiful family and I know that they will pull through this. Bless them all. Those children are so beautiful and I know that although hurting at this time, they must be proud to be the children of such a wonderful man. Michael was a DADDY, not just a father. Even with all the stress and problems he endured, he did more for his children than many parents do. You can tell how much he loved them and wanted them to have as normal a life as possible. I know they will be in good hands.
It still doesn’t feel like this happened. I’m only 22 but I’ve been around long enough to appreciate your music and more importantly, your SPIRIT. Rest in perfect peace, Michael. We love you.
And….could we have waited at least one more day to change the wallpaper? Seriously…

okay, in Mariah’s defense, on Twitter she stated that seeing MJ’s casket right before her eyes kind of made her emotional. Try singing super high like she does, while also trying to combat tears. She did get better towards the end of the performance though.
But yeah I agree that Janet looked BAD today. She was getting it with that beret lol

This was beautiful, well put together.
the words from Stevie Wonder song will always stay with me and it brings me to tears when i recite in my head the words, “Michael, why didn’t you stay?”
i honestly would like to know why couldn’t he stay just a little while longer. I mean, musically he as giving us so much more, more then we could take. He didn’t owe us anything else, BUT he does owe his kids his time, far more time then he was giving.
I’m sad and emotional because his three kids are left without a father, the only parent that they came to love and knew that he loved them unconditionally.
so my question is: why couldn’t he stay to be with his kids, to see them grow healthy and strong?
Michael’s death has me thinking once again: is there truly and after life and will we meet our love ones once again?

It was so strange to hear Michael called “daddy”. Those kids loved him and they will miss him as will his fans. So sad to think he’s gone forever, how many people can say they are so loved as he was. Rest in Peach Michael and strength to your poor family and your children.

IF THERE IS ANYTHING POSITIVE ON THIS SITE IT HAS LESS COMMENTS BECAUSE PEOPLE LIVE THROUGH HATE. IT’S A SHAME BECAUSE THEY REALLY HAVEN’T LEARNED ANYTHING. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD THINK ABOUT THE THINGS THEY SAY AND HOW THEY TREAT PEOPLE. ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO COME ON HERE AND SAY A FEW NICE THINGS ABOUT MICHAEL. WAIT UNTIL REGULAR UPDATES COME UP AND ITS 400+ COMMENTS TO DIFFERENT CELEBS ALL WITH HATE AND NEGATIVITY.

See, I think this often and that’s the scary part. When you die, you don’t know if you are “spirtually” removed from your body or when you die, you see black and that’s it or, you die and …that’s it.
what creates questions or theories of about what death is… you were so use to life and know what exists and doesn’t exist. you have your brain to process and to point out what is and what isn’t, when you pass on, is that the end? is there such thing as “the end”.
i may not sound like i am making sense to anyone but it’s just awkward to wonder if there is something, a new world or phase that we move into to begin our journey in another form. =\

THIS SITUATION OF MICHAEL JACKSON HAS CHANGED ME AND MADE ME A BETTER PERSON, I THINK WE REALLY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF MISTREATING EACH OTHER SO BAD WHILE ALIVE, WE NEED TO ACCEPT EACH OTHER UNIQUENESS AND STOP MAKING FUN OF EACH OTHER INSTEAD LETS SUPPORT EACH OTHER,LETS STOP GOING WITH THE HYPE AND BELIEVE IN THE TRUTH. WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHITE PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GONNA TRY AND PUT US DOWN THEY DO THAT TO ALL SUCCESSFUL BLACK MAN. AND THATS WHY ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH SUCESSFULL BLACK PEOPLE IS MORE INTERESTING TO THEM THATS THE ONLY WAY FOR THEM TO DEFEAT US. THEY KNOW THAT WE ARE STRONG AND SOON WE WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD.

Stevie, Brooke Magic, Marlon, they all touched me deeply. But when Paris spoke, I teared up. Right there, was a daughter who just lost her father. It was so clear as a bell that Michael and his kids knew something about unconditional love.
And something else… It’s so sad that so many of us black folks b*tched (and still b*tch about kids & races. ‘Mike’s kids are too white, why Madonna gotta adopt black kids…’. Just shut up already. A kid is a kid, a parent is a parent. Be kind and unite for gods sake.

THERE IS NO COMPARISON. HE HAS SONGS FROM THE 70′S THAT I STILL LISTEN TO EVEN NOW. THAT IS TIMELESS MUSIC. I CAN’T THINK OF ANY NEW ARTISTS OUT RIGHT NOW THAT ARE MAKING SONGS I WILL WANT TO HEAR 30 YEARS FROM NOW.

lil blanket looks the most traumatized about this death. they should get those kids therapy. even his mannerisms and characteristics are michaels. u can tell he is deeply affected and withdrawn
dammit!!! why pick mariah and not diana ross to sing???? or pattie. now we know pattie wouldve threw down and made it heartfelt

That was a beautiful memorial!!
I have never met the guy but have so many memories of him. Back home in Senegal, we used to mess up his songs so bad, cuz we could not understand a word of what he was saying lol. It wasn’t until I came to this country that I said “damn, is that what he was saying?” lol. We sang with you, we danced to your music! Thank You Michael, Thank You for Everything!! Michael, “I Want You Back”!!

I’M STILL LOL @ MAGIC JOHNSON: “MIKE YOU EAT KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN???” LOL. ONE OF HIS PUBLICISTS SAID THAT KFC WAS HIS FAVORITE FOOD. GO FIGURE. I LOVE HEARING STORIES LIKE THAT. IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO SEE THE MORE HUMAN SIDE OF MICHAEL. ALSO WHEN HIS KIDS TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY LOVED THEIR DAD. YOU GET SO CAUGHT UP IN THE CELEBRITY THAT YOU FORGET THIS IS A REAL PERSON WITH FEELINGS AND A HEART THAT CAN BE BROKEN. A PERSON THAT GETS TIRED AND WEARY JUST LIKE ALL OF US. HE SANG, DANCED, AND PERFORMED HIS HEART OUT FOR HIS FANS. SO YES HE DESERVES EVERY BIT OF MEDIA COVERAGE HE HAS GOTTEN ON THE DAY OF HIS MEMORIAL. I’M NOT MAD ABOUT THE MARIAH BACKGROUND WITH HER IN HER PANTIES. LOL. I HAD MY CHANCE TO SAY GOODBYE TO MICHAEL SO I’M AT PEACE WITH IT.

It was a beautiful memorial, very touching and honest. I’m just happy that we all can see that Michael kids does indeed looks biracial. They also have features of the late Michael, especially Prince. They are so beautiful and intelligent, I cried throughout the whole service. Paris really brought me to my knees, that man was a good man, a loving man to his children. I am just so sad that we, yes we(african americans) let white people destroy yet another Legend in our race. A mother knows her child and Katherine stood by her son 100%. For you that don’t know, that little white creep was lying and admitted to it. His father put him up to it for the money, I hope the Jacksons sue his white azz. Everyone did an amazing job with the songs, especially little boy, he could sing his butt off. We love you Michael, RIP, still hard for me to believe. Why is the media so cruel? they now have Michael’s pics in magazine showing him dead. I couldn’t even look at it, just made me sick to my stomach, white people, white people, dayum devils.

AND AS FOR #23 SANTORO..
MICHAEL JACKSON WAS MUCH MORE THAN “A POP STAR”. ACTUALLY IF MORE PEOPLE LISTENED TO AND EMBRACED THE MESSAGES OF MICHAEL’S MUSIC WE WOULDN’T HAVE ANY WARS AND PEOPLE WOULDN’T HAVE TO BE DYING EVERY DAY IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. SECONDLY, MICHAEL JACKSON WAS ONE OF THE MOST GENEROUS PEOPLE WHO EVER LIVED. HE ACTUALLY GAVE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND AND NUMEROUS OTHER CHARITIES SO THAT LESS FORTUNATE KIDS COULD AFFORD TO GO TO COLLEGE. HE HAS FED, CLOTHED, AND PAID FOR THE EDUCATION OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. SO YOU SHOULD REALLY BE APPRECIATIVE OF PEOPLE LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON INSTEAD OF TRIVIALIZING HIM AS NOTHING MORE THAN “A POP STAR” YOU JACKA$$!

There is something about their eyes…those two boys remind me so much of Michael, especially that little Blanket!
But in just those few words, Paris displayed eloquence, maturity, and strength that far surpass her young years. And she really put this all into perspective to me. The world mourns because it lost an amazing humanitarian and probably THE greatest entertainer we will ever see in our lifetime, but his biggest and most important role was being dad. Even if not a drop of his blood is in their veins, he was dad. Our loss is great, but all those kids know is that they lost dad. That little girl’s tears reminded me that what we feel doesn’t even compare to what they feel. Thankfully, they have a grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins to make sure that they are safe, happy, and loved. May God bless Prince-Michael, Prince-Michael II, and Paris Katherine Jackson.
