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.

IM EVEN SURPRISED THAT IM TALKING LIKE THIS IM NOT USUALLY LIKE THIS LOOSING THE KING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. FROM NOW ON I WILL SUPPORT ALL MY PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO MAKE DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND I WON’T JUDGE U CAUSE ONLY GOD KNOW THE TRUTH!!!

HIS ONLY SIN WAS THA HE WAS TOO & PURE AND INNOCENT IN HIS WORLD HE THOUGHT EVERYONE WAS LIKE HIM BUT HAD NO IDEA HOW EVIL THE WORLD IS.

THROUGH GOD THAT I BELIEVE WATCH WATS GONNA HAPPENED WHO EVER HAS LIED ABOUT MJ WILL COME IN FRONT ONE DAY AND CONFESS THE TRUTH ABOUT LIES WATCH GOD IS NOT SLEEPING!!!

XOXO

Kimora, I’m with you on that. Mike should still be here with his kids. But God decided our fate and his kids will know more and more that Mike was love. Not by his talent only but the time he gave to charties and the world.

Seriously I think this generations ofl entertainers need to get off their butts and start during more or they will only be remember for being selfish and egotiscial.

Oh and pretty much the rumours about Mike kids being socially inept was proven wrong. Did anyone noticed that his kids were singing on stagw with everyone else? Most kids would’ve been afraid or shy but his kids were singing. I thought it was beautiful. The family have to make sure these kids level of education and attitude is kept the same, as if their daddy was alive. No slacking for Mike kids because I heard they are smart kids!

Man, what a sad but beautiful day! I will never forget this day for as long as I live.

that memorial was good, and heartfelt I’m glad i watched

Long Live the King og Pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those kids were his life and he loved them with all his heart as he loved all the people around the world. Rev. Al Sharpton was right, there was nothing strange about MJ. I am from South Africa and i salute you Michael Joseph Jackson…Rest in peace MJ

Rest in Peace
Michael Jackson….

The greatest entertainer that ever lived.

@ Changedgoddess

That sounds good but you turn right around and judge someone else on here for their comments. Peachez has a right to her opinion just like you do. Why are you acting all self righteous? You need to take your own advice. Smh.

Moving on

This was such a wonderful tribute to MJ. At first I wished they did have some dance tributes but when I thought about it I guess it wouldn’t really be appropriate. At least I haven’t ever seen anyone dancing at a funeral or memorial service. Maybe that would be too much. My heart goes out to the family especially MJ’s children. I hope and pray they get to remain with the Jackson family. Debbie Rowe shouldn’t even consider taking them. They have been through enough. Everyone should just leave that family alone.

I watch the whole memorial on my tv. I cried, and cried. I have a disable little boy. I take care of all by myself which is hard. i have to pray to god everyday and night for strength i love him so much . the day michael past my daughter kenya print seven of the jacksons family pictures on the computer that evening. the day after michael past me in my 16 yrs old daugther kenya, in my son antwone took the bus and to put michael in the family on are shirt. my little boy had his t-shirt already for the fouth of july with a flag on the front. so we took his shirt in put on the back of it michael picture when he was little boy sitting on a couch with shorts on and 1958 top left corner and in on the right corner of his shirt he has michael jackson thriller cover ending with 2009. i also lost to twin baby boys 2001. my heart goes out to the mom rebbie tito jermaine marlon to jackie latoya randy and most of all janet jackson and the father joe jackson. And my heart goes out to the jackson family b/c i knew marlon had a twin who died at birth. The song 1 of the jackson brothers sung at the memorial touched my heart dearly and michael’s daughter paris
took my breath away it was so emotional to see her in tears but that was ok she loved her daddy michael jackson.

our love from the smith family in long beach,calfornia.

This was beautyful and I love the way they didnt litter the stage with the big names of the moment i.e Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Jay Z, Keri Hilson, Lil’ Wayne etc It was classy and respectful. BET can learn a thing or two, you dont need to go over the top just keep it respectful and simple.

#25 Very well and respectfully put.Micheal was a great human being,and he still is and will always be. I am 40 I grew up on his music as well.And I remember my brothers teasing me because I always said he was my boyfriend.Through all the changes he went through I was there,through all the bashing I was there never loosing sight of what a great person he is…..I love u micheal and save a seat in heaven for me…..”your girlfriend”

this is still a shock to me. and i know this was hard for the children, probably even more difficult for the family. such a sad moment in time, period.

Beautiful memorial so fitting for a King i noticed everyone kept looking up to heaven as if Michael was looking down upon them cant find no more words to express how i feel just to say Michael work will continue no our eyes have been made open no longer will one of our people go through that kind of pressure again i will speak on it god bless the Jackson family and god bless you Michael R.I.P

Horrible, horrible, horrible. So sad for those kids. Michael needed help. He needed to be admitted to a hospital for severe insomnia or have a sleep study to find out why he was not able to sleep. He did not know the risk he was taking with his life using these drugs and how his desparation to get rest would take his life and have his entire family and children hurting forever, including his fans. Just like Kanye’s mom and Ushers wife, almost found out. Doing these elective things could kill you, but no one thinks about the what if and others that love them if something went wrong. Life is too precious to gamble. I know those are his kids, but as an aunt of a biracial child, I wonder if they are biologically his children. Pretty sure we may find out if Debbie fights for custody.

He was more than an entertainer… he strived to make the world a better place… listen to how the people close to him describe him….we should all take notes from how he lived.
#23 didn’t you hear… MJ was there supporting the troops… what have you done… go on Bill O’Reilly blog and say that shit…. that’s MY opinion!!!

Nice service. But i felt that there should have been an upbeat portion to the show. C. Breezy should’ve performed as a tribute to MJ. They mainly focused on the boring stuff

^^^^^^ I just wish people like you would stop writing stuff like this!!!! Don’t nobody want to see Chris brown ignorant ass perform!!! He is not the only one that can “Try” to dance like MJ’ there’s other male R&B singers that can move too” His female fans are crazy to think the Jackson family will alow him to launch a comeback off Micheals death. Besides” Why would they let him perform??? He’s not even an astablished singer” CB low self asteem female fans needs to sit down with that mess!!! Every award show or MJ tribute don’t owe his troubled ass a comeback performance!!! We will let his new “music” speak for it’s self.

I pray the media will leave this man alone now. They got just what they wanted. The family is hurting. RIP Michael

Nice memorial and the fans were very respectful. Usher did a great job and I like the fact that Lionel Richie did a gospel song.

It’s crazy that this really happened…. R.I.P MJ u will be missed greaty… (added by Mobile using Mippin)

Michael Jackson will live forever.. His daughter Paris will be something in this world.. I already could tell she will be the one who will carry the torch for Michael Jackson family.. Watch her in 15 yrs she will be either in politics, humanity services, music business or something/anything that will make a difference and I pray that the press will leave those kids alone so they can grow up normal…

I dnt gve a D$M if he had relations withi debbie or not!! or any other woman for that matter!! those kids loved that man and he loved them!!!!! If he’s not the real father who the H$$ cares..ALL that matters is he was in their lives since day one!! Whn Paris girl spoke my heart just burst open with tears!!! I hope the jackson family keeps the kids..AND AND AND IF Mike never pass’d away Debbie R. would not be saying she broke!! oh B#@% ! !

and ms .. Janet I was loving the shoes!!

#166-totally agree. It doesn’t matter if those kids are biologically his or not. He was their father and that’s all that matters.
Al Sharpton’s speech was on point! I had an Amen moment when he said “Wasn’t nothing strange about your daddy..it was strange what he had to deal with.” I was yelling at the TV when he said that.

I’m glad I left work early to watch this at home.

SANTORO, not to in anyway minimize you comment, but Troops in Afganistan, Rising College tuition, People losing theirs homes, etc. are all things that also got more than their fair share of news coverage, or were you not watching TV all those days, weeks, and months long before Michael Jackson’s passing.

Now if you are tired of seeing the coverage of Mr. Jackson, though I do agree some of it is a bit much, then you do have the option to turn to the channel or simply don’t watch it since you seem to so bothered by it. There is this thing on your TV called the “Power” button to turn it off. Did you not know that? Tuesday’s memorial was more than deserving and befitting for all that “THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED” has given this world. He was a uniter not a divider. Not only was he entertainer and was the consumate humanitarian. As Kobe Bryant stated, he is listed in the Gueniss Book of World Records as the Pop Star who gave the the most charities. And did you not hear Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee’s moving tribute, about how Micheal visited our wounded troops at Walter Reid’s hospital overseas, how he visited and donated to orphanges in Namibia, gave to hospitals, the need, the less fortunate. Say and feel what you like about Micheal Jackson, but folks like you and your fellow jackass, that low life, poor excuse of a Congressman Peter King can in no way slight what took place on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 or what the Iconic Legend, Mr. Micheal Joseph Jackson contributed to the world to help make a better place. As mentioned earlier if you tired of seeing the coverage on Micheal, then don’t watch. I will now very sternly tell you to go find a spot and sit still as quickly as you can. R.I.P. Micheal my brother.

That was such a moving tribute…

I teared up so many times. I loved John Mayer doing Human Nature. I felt like everyone’s performance and/or speech was heartfelt. It was great to watch, especially after that BET debacle.

Keeping the family in my prayers.

i have a big problem with these celebrities smiling backstage and in general at a memorial service. it’s not some fucking concert! Michael Jackson died. His mother and sisters where right, there should have been closure~

i have a problem with these celebrities smiling in general…this is funeral-related memorial. his mother and sisters were right, there should have been closure~

Mama aint raise no Bitch but I was holding back the tears and eventually cried like a baby. I wasn’t crying cause of his death, I cried because of his life and how one man can love and care so much for total strangers and so many other people. I don’t know if you peeped it when they said that Michael Jackson is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the one single celebrity that has given the most money to the most charities. What stands out is that he didn’t make a spectacle of that giving nature, and when you do things like that for no other reason but just to help the world, that means you give from the heart, and that should sum up what an angel Michael was. God bless his soul and I know Michael will always live on in my hart and in the music.

Now, that was a Memorial fit for a KING !

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson !

Stevie Wonder said it best your time here is done go and be with the creator.

That was amazing the entire service was done with pure 100% class and respect.

AWESOME describes every person that choosen to speak and perform.

Paris Jackson made anyone with blood flowing through their veins cry.

“Thank you Michael” is the words of Brother Al Sharpton.

I cosign “Thank you MIchael” for being the THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND !

Jermaine’s performance of “SMILE”, Usher’s performance of “GONE TOO SOON”, and Micheal’s little sweethart of a daughter Paris Michael brought everyone to tears. Jermaine sung a verse of that song during his interview with Matt Lauer of the Today Show and he couldn’t get through it before breaking down, and he nearly did again at the end of the song on Tuesday. Usher going down to the casket and breaking down at the end and then consoled by all of the Jackson siblings. Those were the main highlights for a brother, but then I also loved when Rev. Al Sharpton got up and Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee spoke - a message to those who always tried to tear Micheal down. As I stated earlier, this was a ceremony befitting for the KING.

…..@3 yes people are suffering and dying and losing jobs but they are alive and once
….that is so there is hope, that is what Michael Jackson stood for and if you can’t
….see that clearly something is wrong with you, life is a struggle sweetheart,
…everyday is a struggle and people are just expressing how they feel about his
…death, maybe you should have let this post past and not comment. People
…needed a way to say goodbye because so many people loved him even though
… they didn’t know him personally. LOVE U MJ! WILL NEVER FORGET U!

l know he hit the nail on the head…”Your daddy wasn’t strange…what was strange was what your daddy had to put up with…” You better tell them Al Sharpton. Its the honest to God’s truth. The little girl does look like Micheal I mean the eyes especially. They are all cute kids though. Its just sad..Paris made me cry too.

……..This was a wonderful, classy, well organized service. It was beautiful. I wish i ……could have been there,. When litt;e Paris spoke, it was the most touching experience of the whole service. I was crying. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to lose your father at a youn age. God Bless the children and all the Jackson Family. Rest in Peace Michael Jackson You will forever live through your music and the great deeds that you did when you were here. I love you Michael.

I LOVE… MICHAEL SO MUCH. BUT, I’M DISSAPOINTED IN SOME OF US WHO WERE SO DETACHED FROM MICHAEL, WE COULDN’T SEE THIS COMING. MICHAEL CLEARLY LOOKED SICK AND FRAIL TO ME. WHY ARE PEOPLE SURPRISED?

OK HERE’S MY QUESTION…

WHY CAN’T WE FORGIVE AND LET CELEBRITIES BE HUMAN WHILE THEIR ALIVE??? I’M BEING SERIOUS, NOT SARASTIC AT ALL

CAN THE MEDIA FINALLY LET JANET JACKSON’S NIPPLEGATE END??? WE ALREADY LOST ONE GREAT TALENT FROM THE FAMILY…WHEN ARE THEY GONNA LET HER SHINE???

I’M JUST SAYIN…GIVE FLOWERS WHILE PEOPLE ARE STILL HERE…

This was such an amazing and heartfelt memorial! It was all that it needed to be. I love Michael so much and it breaks my heart that he had to die so unhappy, but I know that God is good and everything happens for a reason. I really hope that he has find true happiness wherever he his.

I pray that his children find confort,strenght and love. It will be a hard joourney ahead of them…I know, I’ve lost the only parent( mother) I’ve ever know at age 11. It is not easy. But I know that they will be well taking care of. What a tribut that I will always remember!

R.I.P Michael Jackson 1958-2009

All I have to say is THAT’S how you do a tribute!!!

I saw the pre-memorial coverage, once I saw the funeral procession with the hearse in the front and the 37 cars..no correction ESCALADES!!! Do you know how many people fit in a ESCALADE??? Michael’s family and friends ran deep! I lost it and started crying from there and didn’t stop for 3 hours!!

When they brought him in while Andre Crouch choir sung “Soon and Very Soon”…I lost it again. The speeches were fantastic, gave Michael the person more clarity.

Jennifer Hudson gets much respect in my book. The girl has lost so much and IMO is grieving through her performances, you can see at one point, she was going to tear up. She is a professional and her mother, brother and nephew are looking down from heaven and smiling cause she is doing them proud.

Lionel Richie…”Jesus is Love”. Always loved that song, and I swear, I was missing the Commodores when he sang that. Had me testifying.

John Mayer playing “Human Nature”. Great!. Only Michael can sing that. Why sing it? Play the guitar version and let the background singers do the rest. Fantastic, just fantastic.

Jermaine singing “Smile” through his tears. OMG…thinking about it now wells me up.

I agree, Paris sealed the deal on me. Made me ashamed of all the MJ jokes we have told on this site. I mean, it was over. When she started with “Daddy”…that was it. I mean what else can you say?

However I have to add this because it has to be mentioned…MARLON!!!! OMG!!! I watched him from the beginning when he helped his brothers roll that casket out until he spoke before Paris. MARLON IS TORE UP!!! When he got up there and said “I’m hurt”…and broke down, started telling stories about he and Michael as kids, how he knew his own brother who is in disguise in the record store, about how Michael was ridiculed and he was hurt…when he said “maybe they’ll leave you alone now”…and when he broke down again, and Jackie was going down to the ground and Randy had to pull him up. YOU COULD FEEL THE BROTHERS PAIN!!! OMG!! I have to stop…I’m crying again. I have the whole thing recorded on DVD, but I have to tell you, I don’t think I could ever watch it again. Wonderful tribute but so sad. RIP Mr Jackson. Thank you for giving me the soundtrack of my 43 years on this earth.

The WORLD has lost an icon but Prince, Paris and Blanket have lost their FATHER. May GOD bless the Jacksons and give them strength during these difficult times.

i’m crying from reading all y’all commenys except no#23 get a grip!!! michael was God’s gift to earth and its now time we realize that life is short and we must live for God i know Michael is in a better place NEVER once you heard him denounce the name of GOD unlike Miz Oprah and the rest God will truly bless him and his family he is in heaven watching over us..R.I.P Michael love U

I mean to say “my 43 years on earth, thus far”…had to clear that up.

Spirited tribute.

Thank the good heavens phony Beyawnsay didn’t grace the stage in that horrid whor-ish get-up, especially after talking salty about the Jacksons.

She will never be on Michael’s or Janet’s level of success NEVER!

This was a beautiful heartfelt service. I’m so glad that the world got to see that they are a family like other families. Families don’t always get along and see eye to eye, it’s a part of being human, and especially coming from such a large family I’m sure there were times where they were trying to find their place at home and in the world. The two most moving things to me was when his brothers bought his casket in and placed it on the stand and Marlon leaned over and kissed the casket, my heart broke and I just cried, and when Paris let the world know her daddy was a good daddy. He may have done different things in his personal life, but that’s just it, it’s his personal life. You can’t give all of yourself to the fans and media all the time and be perfect.

MAY MJ finally REST IN PEACE……….WIll be missed along with many others.

I LOVE THE JACKSON FAMILY!

They Are SO Strong!

All I can say about the event is that “it was moving and Classy”

That’s the way to sent someone to glory!

WELL DONE!

(kids are tooo cute by the way)

we will miss u Michael.

Sorry to spoil the mood ya’ll. I’m so sorry for Mike’s passing but this is the first time I’m really getting a good look at the kids, and all I have to say is YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Anyone who believes those are his kids even for a second is bonafide retarded. At any rate, R.I.P. Michael.

Michael Jackson Album Sales Total 800K In Pre-Memorial Week
July 07, 2009 – Rock and Pop

By Keith Caulfield, L.A.

On the day the world said goodbye to Michael Jackson, his legacy continues to shine on Billboard’s charts, a testament to his lasting musical legacy and impact.

Based on preliminary sales numbers from Nielsen SoundScan, Jackson’s catalog of solo albums sold a whopping 800,000 copies in the U.S. in the tracking week that ended at the close of business on Sunday (July 5) night. That’s an increase of 90% compared to the previous week, when his combined albums sold 422,000.

A jump in sales was expected, since this was the first full week of sales since Jackson’s passing on June 25. Additionally, after most physical retailers swiftly sold out of available Jackson albums, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group were able to replenish brick-and-mortar stores with CDs last week to meet customer demand.

In turn, physical albums accounted for 82% of Jackson’s sales last week — 656,000 physical albums versus 144,000 download albums. In the week previous, when Jackson’s albums moved a total of 422,000, physical albums accounted for 43% of that sum (181,000) while digital albums made up the other 57% (241,000).

When Sou ndScan’s charts are released in the morning on Wednesday, July 8, Jackson’s “Number Ones” collection will be the top selling album in the United States, with 339,000 (up 215%) and will also be No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Comprehensive Albums chart. “Thriller” will be No. 2 with 187,000 (up 86%) while the third place set will be the newly released “Now 31″ various artists compilation, which will start with 169,000.

Jackson will also again dominate the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. It tallies albums that are more than 18 months old, have fallen below No. 100 on the Billboard 200 and don’t have a current radio single. Catalog albums are ineligible to appear on The Billboard 200 chart though they can chart on the Top Comprehensive Albums chart.

Last week, Jackson had a record eight albums out of the top 10 on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart, while a Jackson 5 compilation also found its way into the upper tier. This week, the entire top 10 is all-Jackson, all the time. He alone has albums at Nos. 1-6 and Nos. 8-10 while a Jackson 5 title (”The Ultimate Collection”) resides at No. 7.

On Billboard’s Hot Digital Songs chart, Jackson will hold down five out of the top 10 slots, with “Man in the Mirror” leading as his top selling digital download song of the week (159,000; down 3%). Overall, it ranks as the second-best selling song of the week, next to the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” (215,000; up 6%).

Jackson’s total song download sales this week — including his works with the Jackson 5 and the Jacksons — stand at 2.2 million downloads. Last week, the collected total was 2.6 million.

THANKS JACKSON FAMILY FOR SHARING THIS SPECIAL, PRIVATE MOMENT WITH US!!!!!!

THAT WAS A GREAT MEMORIAL!!SO REAL AND TOUCHING LIKE REAL TALK….AYE IF YOY LOVE DEBATING OR JUST HAVE GREAT CONCERSATION FOLLOW ME!!!!
twitter.com/harper16….thanks

The only reason why another post would get more comments is b/c those celebs are up for debate…Michael Jackson is not up for debate, he is the best that ever did it and he is the KING OF POP. My prayers go w/ the family and the MILLIONS of Fans from young to old that he has forever touched.

I would believe they are biologically his if Michael, himself, was biracial (therefore making the kids only 25% black; it would all make sense, seei’ng as how they favor the likes of others with 25% african american heritage like Mariah Carey and Nicole Ritchie).

But Michael had enough african lineage that they should atleast have caramel (not olive) complexions and atleast one of them should have some curls…

But regardless, Michael was their FATHER and an incredible one at that.

I am touched by Michael’s kids. If they are not biologically his, so what, those are his kids and he loved them.

Was Jermaine Dupri there?????

Tears….R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS!! I LOVE YOU MJ!!

CB & Beyonce. why the f*ck are they of importance on this post?
yaw need to get a grip and stop with all this foolishness
CB wasn’t the only one pictured, so why are people debating over him? smh
Beyonce, heck, she wasn’t even mentioned atall, yet some idiots decide to bring her name up to stir up trouble…gtfoh

this was a well deserved memorial for Micheal and i’m sure he’s smiling from wherever he is at all they did for him
i’m just glad he’s free from all the wickedness and stupidity of this world (as shown in some of the silly comments i’ve read)

RIP MICHEAL, hopefully he’s family can deal with the loss and move on with their lives soon..though it’s gonna be hard, but life must go on

It was a very touching memorial. I watched it online at work. I loved how the family was united, it was a beautiful tribute to Michael Jackson. Another black blog, (a woman who prides herself in being negative against her own kind but promotes people like Tiny and Atlanta) likes to point out that Jackson’s kids aren’t his own. Say what you want, but he raised these kids since birth making him the father regardless of blood. Those kids loved their father and my prayers go out to them.

This was a WONDERFUL memorial service. Just wonderful.

Michael did it big, in life and in death. Damn I hate he’s gone! I wish the best for his children to grow and be the best that God puts in them.

Man i cried and cried and cried, while holding on to my baby boy so tight. He feel asleep in my arms. The homegoing service for Mike was truly beautiful and well deserving. Michael was great! And tho he was loved by people all over the world, he seemed to be quite lonely. I will miss him and my two year old baby boy will know him…i’ll make sure of that!. We love you Mike.

RIP..

I almost lost it towards the end of the Free Willy song that Jennifer Hudson sang and Michael’s spoken verse came on. It was so eery, sincere and heart wrenching at the same time. Once again, it was a very beautiful and deserving tribute for the King of Pop.

Im glad the family stuck together like that through this tough time.It showed them in a good light

Santoro… are u having a bad day? You don’t have to keep posting on here. I’m actually surprised at all the media attention MJ’s death is receiveing. It’s good that a black man is getting the recognition he deserves. I must admit i was a little Michaeled out at first but the more and more I saw the videos, etc.. I was “remembering the time” when Michael Jackson was in heavy rotation. As a child, I can remember having my grandmother buy me and my twin sis Michael Jackson coats and Michael Jackson dolls. We loved Michael so much it was crazy. My sister even went and got the jherri curls. Say what you want about Michael but he paved the way for many of us and everyone accepted and loved michael. He did a lot of charity work and cared for all children and people. I love mIchael and really couldn’t believe that he was gone. I thought my husband was lieing when he said Michael Jackson was dead when i got home that Friday evening. I had to call my friends and immediately turned on the tv. I was kind of numb to the fact that he was gone and still can’t believe it. Rest in peace MJ and you will live on through your beautiful children and family.

i absolutely loved every part of the service except for mariah. but michael would understand she’s not what she used to be. usher, and al sharpton where my favorite parts that stick out in my head. also magic and kobe haha. fried chicken! michael is the king if you didnt cry during this, something is wrong with you. if you didnt understand what michael joseph jackson the king of music meant to the african american community and the world as a whole, you do now. I’ve always loved his music since the day i was born and i think its sad that only in his passing a lot of people are now realizing, “wow he did mean alot to the world”.
“And to his children, i want you guys to knw wasn’t nothin strange about your daddy, whats strange is what he had to go through” - Al Sharpton

they didnt show the other celebs in the audience because it was about michael and his family.

the oldest son is so handsome. my goodness. he will be a heart breaker. you can tell he is really sad because he is so silent and still.

poor children. u can tell they were friends with their father. i think katherine would do a good job but if her husband joe is mean to the children it could traumatize them more.

also, they do look like michael. def not like debbie and the dermatologist doctor. those two are hideous. debbie i believe was a surrogate and the both her and the doctor want money bc now they are broke that michael is gone. she said herself she didnt want them so dont give them to her!!!!!!!! if anything give them to janet, but her lifestyle is tooo crazy especially with jd in the mix! maybe thats why michael didnt give them to her initially or list her name.

MJ…one in a million….

Well said #146. Exactly what I was thinking in response to that comment.

The KING truly went out like a KING!!!! I dont think Ive EVER cried so much over a person that I have NEVER met! OMG! This just shows how much of an effect that Michael Jackson had over people across the world! My Heart goes out to those BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN! MICHAEL IS WITH THE KING OF KINGS NOW!
AND LETS NOT FORGET, SOME OF YOU SAME HYPOCRITES WHO ARE TALKING SO GOOD ABOUT HIM NOW, WERE SOME OF THE ONES WHO WERE JUST TALKING TRASH ABOUT HIM JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO! OH YEAH REMEMBER THE POST THAT CONCRETELOOP PUT UP ABOUT HIS CLOTHES! WELL YOU ALL SHOULD FEEL LIKE SCUM!
MICHAEL WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST! I HAVE NEVER SAID ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HIM B/C I AM A TRUE FAN!
REST IN PEACE MICHAEL. THEY CANT MESS WITH YOU IN HEAVEN!

I thought everything was good and I agree they could of got someone else to sing in Mariah’s place she was too sexy for a memorial service. Could she of left the twins inside for one day? Janet is going to be there to help those kids. Debbie Rowe is already showing her behind on TV cussing and stuff at reporters they need to grow up with dignity the way their Father wanted.

—–Leave it up to black people, particularly black women, to attribute the highlight of
—–a so-called “black icon’s” commemoration to two white children, smh.

What a beautiful send off. I pray that the media will leave the Jackson children alone and let them continue to live a normal life. And to Debbie Rowe, please dont drag this custody battle out for the sake of the children. It’s all about the children now and their well-being. We all need to lift them up in prayer.

OMG A beautuful tribute for Michael Jackson i’m so mad that i missed !

Plese CL COULD POST POST A LINK OF THE ENTIRE CEREMONY PLEASE!

Michael J may god bless You ! i hope (and pray) God is by your sides

God Bless this family. This was an incredible event that was done right!!

On a lighter note, milk does a body good Janet..milk does a body good!!!

Judah has personal issues with black women and it’s probably because he’s been turned down by several of them, as they realised he was just a sad, bitter and senseless waste of space
i feel for you sweetie and i know not everyone can be loved…so you can die an unhappy and lonely man, it ain’t a crime

back to the post, you will be greatly missed Micheal, by both your fans and the rest of the world who find it difficult to admit you were the GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME, an ICON, a LEGEND..etc

@ 218 - JUDAH:

Leave it up to a man, esp. a so-called “Black man”, to attack anyone, but esp. Black women on this kind of post. You do it ALL the time, but there is a time and a place. I don’t think anyone was trying to “attribute the highlight of the …. commemoration to two white children”. I think people were merely expressing their grief at the loss and joy at the style and dignity with which the memorial was held (as opposed to the BET foolery). I would think this would be a time when we would uplift one another as opposed to tearing each other down. We get enough of that from others; why must we be subjected to it from our own as well, BROTHA?

What a Beautiful Service! Fit For a king. Usher & Paris had me crying my eyes out, I know how she feels I lost my dad when I was 11. The Greatest Entertainer & Humanitarian will be deeply missed….His legacy will live on forever.

“Soon & Very Soon, We are going to see the King”

I loved the memorial service. It was very heart wrenching. However, some of yall are taking the fakeness to a new level. Now everyone wants to suggest he is the biological father!!! When has anyone ever thought that? Yes he took care of them therefore he is their father. Biological, I DON’T THINK SO. Mariah’s father I think was Afro-Venezuelan and her mother is Irish. Therefore she is about 25% black. MJ’s mother and father are pretty much fully black, his mother has some Native American in her. He never looked mixed therefore those kids should have dark curly hair and darker skin. I have a mixed cousin. We know those are not the biological kids. I’m sorry I had to go into detail but yall are being fake. Also some people think they can tell others what they can and cannot say. Quit acting like yall are holier than thou. Please be real. That’s all i’m asking. But anyways I lost it when Paris spoke and her and Janet have a strong bond, you can tell.
