who was the woman singing? love her voice

IS THAT MARLON? AWWWWWWW LOOK AT JANET!

umm why is letoya hat soo darn big? i mean she looks ridiculous lol im sorry lol that had is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

why did michael keep masks on these kids face they are so cute

I will greatly miss his music such a genius

Best line I ever heard–”Maybe now they will leave you alone”-Marlon Jackson

heal the woooooorldddd

Loved John Mayer, J-Hud, and Brooke’s message. Am I the only one who caught a shot of Paris(mike’s daughter) singing along to “We Are The World”… too cute!

i cried throughout this memorial
all the performers and people who made speeches just made me appreciate him more
MJ, i will NEVER EVER forget you..ever!
this is def a day i will forever remember.

RIP MICHEAL, word can’t express how much of a role model you are to me
his family’s speech didn’t help either…OMG, im extremely sad

Paris just broke my heart

damn i aint cry until now

Ok now Paris just made me cry…

We LOVE YOU MICHAEL!!!

the daughter had me in tears again

omg Paris :’(…

WOW I’m wondering if MJJ would have wanted the kids to be so visible in the public eye. It really wasnt until now that we have seen them in the public eye so much - unguarded.

The words from Marlon were very touching. MJJ was his Big Brother.

Long LIve the King!

Okay now, I’m sobbing!!! When Marlon started crying, I cried, but when Paris got up, that was all I could stand. Lord have mercy!!!!

OMG, I was too thru when Michael’s daughter broke down…R.I.P to The ‘King of Pop’, my condolences to the family

I didn’t start crying until Paris started speaking. So sad…

i cant do this .
i never cried sooooo much .
when i saw marlon, usher, brooke shields and his daughter crying, i never cried soo much in my life !
omgsh - why does this hurt so much? i feel like i’ve known michael all my life even though ive never met him! :(

God bless you michael jackson. <3

OMgoodness….. my heart just completely broke down when his daughter cried….RIP, best to the family

dang it, Paris did it for me

I’m not the most emotional person, but Michael’s daughter Paris finally made me realize that Michael Jackson was a HUMAN BEING. Rest in peace, Michael…

now BET that is how you pay tribute to the KING

not that crap you put on a week ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i swear people really need to stop supporting BET ..and this isnt hate..its jus a reality…BET doesnt reperesent black people the right way

Good job, Al Sharpton

Rest in peace Michael

Now london boy you can’t tell me you didn’t cry after Paris spoke about her father.

Amazing artist AND person. what a combination.
R.I.P. Michael Joseph Jackson
Paris is a strong girl.

I had managed not to cry through the whole service but when his daughter started crying, I lost it. I hate to see children cry and I know if people who never even met him could feel so attached to him through his music and humanitarianism, I couldn’t imagine what his children are going through. He always spoke of his children and how much he loved to be a father so my condolences definetely go out to his family but especially his children. Now, I’ve always had my doubts about whether they were his biological children or not but regardless of if he was their biological father, it doesn’t matter. He was a parent to them and they obviously loved him and miss him very much so my heart goes out to them.

PARIS?!
oh Lawd why?
i tried so hard to hold back the tears but they just kept coming…her speech had me sobbing uncontrollably

this was a beautiful service, im glad he finally gets the flawless tribute he deserved

def one of the saddest losses in history…RIP MIKE
there will never be anyone that can replace you..NO ONE…

Amazing Memorial.

I think Mariah was the only one who didn’t pull it off -

i cant even express how i am feeling but i know i cant feel to much because nothing i feel will be as great as what the Jackson family is feeling right now!

Now that’s how you give tribute to not only a great performer but a beautiful man…RIP Michael….

I loved the gorgeous ballads and this was not the place for chris brown or ciara to perform Thriller or some other uptempo song…

I’m so glad was able to mourn in the correct way..Thank you Jacksons and RIP Michael…Love you fovever!!!!

Paris ALMOST made me cry.
And that’s saying a lot seeing as I don’t cry except @ my own father’s funeral.
But I’m really glad they didn’t show the body to the public.
Those ppl in there wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Now that is a tribute MJ deserved…………..well done -)

P.S. take notes BET

I remember when the Thriller video came out I prayed to God that Michael Jackson did not get married until I had a chance. I remember crying to God because Iove him so much!! I tape the making of Thriller and I would watch it over and over again.
Rest In Peace and may God give your family strength during this time. It may be the Jackson’s time now but it will be yours another time. Fans continue to speak good will to keep the naysayers shut down! He was truly the greatest entertainer on Earth! There will never be another one.

We will always love you Michael.

They are playing the memorial on BET..
RIP MJ
Paris brought me to tears wow, it just made you realize how human he was was.

I lost it when his lil girl cried. It was a beautiful memorial overall though.

I think I’m in love with Usher all over again. When he walked down and touched that casket! Omg! He had me! Thank goodness I didn’t have to work today. They would’ve had to send me home!

This memorial service was absolutely beautiful! A wonderful tribute to the king! I wish that I could talk to Michael right now and let him know how much I love and appreciate him and the message he tried to convey all this time! We took you for granted and you were an angel among us. Only now all too late do we realize how much of a genius you were! God bless you Michael!

Paris made me so sad

R.I.P. Michael Jackson!

Usher and Paris did me in.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson, I love you.

I was crying before Paris, but when she spoke, that’s when I broke down.

I think everyone did Michael Jackson justice today.

I love you Michaellllllllllllllllllllllllllll!

R.I.P to the King of Pop….The Greatest Entertainer that ever lived.

Wow. That a beautiful memorial service, the RIGHT way to do it. Rev. Al Sharpton uplifted me, as well as brought tears to my eyes. That was one of the best memorials I’ve ever seen. His daughter speaking at the end broke me down. Poor baby and I can’t even begin to imagine what the family is going through. I never got to meet Michael and that was something I wanted to do before I left here but we will meet one day. See you on the other side. We love you Michael. Rest in Peace!

Beautiful Service. When his daughter spoke, it was so touching.

thank heavens they didn’t include some artists attempting to dance like him.
or TRYING to sing
all the acts were PERFECT!

J Hudson, now that is one strong lady. can’t begin to imagine how hard it must have been for her to perform at a memorial service..something she shouldn’t do just yet, considering what happened to her family.

THIS WAS AMAZING AND SO PROFESSIONALLY DONE.
AL SHARPTON AND THE CONGRESSWOMAN THAT SPOKE DID A GREAT JOB WITH THEIR SPEECHES! I APPLAUD THEM FOR THEIR POWERFUL WORDS. I HOPE THE IGNORANT PEOPLE GOT THE MESSAGE! THE PERFORMANCES WERE GREAT. LOL @ PEOPLE SAYING MARIAH’S VOICE IS GONE. AT LEAST SHE WAS THERE TO SHOW HER SUPPORT. SHE GETS MY RESPECT FOR SHOWING UP. (CAN’T SAY THE SAME FOR DIANA ROSS OR ELIZABETH TAYLOR. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ATTENDING SOMEONE’S MEMORIAL SERVICE?) NOTHING. I UNDERSTAND YOU’RE GRIEVING BUT IF HIS FAMILY CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU. SHAME ON YOU BOTH FOR BEING SO SELFISH!

Was it just me or did it look like the brothers and Joe where trying to be the first seen on camera to give the speaker/performer a hug… smh what a joke!!!

rip Michael

and #194 you are out of line… that was truly a comment you could have kept to urself

That was beautiful. Rest in Peace Michael

some of the brothers. let me be fair

@194, I’m not a fan of internet beef but I’m gonna need for you to SHUT THE FUCK UP! Weren’t you the same idiot on a rihanna post claiming how great that talentless slut was and now you’re here talking down the G.O.A.T?!?! Ho go kill your dumb self with your bare hands!

Ugh can’t believe people these days!!

R.I.P KING!

PEOPLE PLEASE IGNORE COMMENTS LIKE THAT ONE UP THERE. LET’S CONTINUE TO HONOR MICHAEL. PEOPLE LIKE THIS WILL ALWAYS COME IN AND TRY TO RAIN ON OUR PARADE. THEY TRIED TO DO THE SAME THING TO MICHAEL. JUST KEEP IT MOVING EVERYONE. CONTINUE TO COMMENT ON THE ARTIST, THE MAN, AND THE MEMORIAL SERVICE.

My prayers goes out to the family of Michael Jackson. Let us remember God gives and he takes away for a reason. Eventhough his life was short in our eyes but, he accomplish so much in his short life. I remember as a child growing up In Liberia West Africa all of us knew who MJ was. He will be truly miss!!

Damn tht was such a touching ceremony, I didn’t expect to become so emotional. The world lost a great person.

simply beautiful

Now that Paris business had me ready to cry. This should show people that he was a real person…he wasn’t a molester and he didn’t hurt his kids or anyone elses. He was a good guy and I honestly believed that he was a kid at heart and just enjoyed helping other kids. Just think about what grown man would risk all the money and fame in the world just to ruin it by hurting children. I think that he was so devoted to helping children and people in general that he saw past the money and really looked at helping families and children (eventhough at times they took advantage of his celebrity). I think MJ wasn’t normal…but none of us are. We are all different and have our strange habits and behaviors. Its what makes us who we are and if our behaviors were broadcast for all to see we might get the same attention. At the end of the day there will only be one MJ.

LORD THE DEVIL IS BUSY TODAY!

I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO CUT A FOOL OUT OF RESPECT FOR MICHAEL. THE MAN ISN’T EVEN IN THE GROUND YET AND IGNORANT FOOLS ARE STARTING THIS MESS! GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY CHILDREN. NO ONE IS IN THE MOOD FOR IT RIGHT NOW.

I’m starting to believe that he is gone now, it’s just so hard to grasp. Memorial was beautiful, I cried thru the whole ceremony. When Paris started crying, omg, I couldn’t take anymore. Jennifer H. and Usher was awesome. I love you Michael, RIP.

172. YOU SAID IT !

and REV. AL SHARPTON killed it !
“There ain’t nothin’ strange about your daddy. It was strange what he had to deal with!” - Rev. Al Sharpton .

I’m getting annoyed with the disrespectful comments.

Look when your music and life has touched millions of people over a 38 year span your memorial service is just a bit bigger than everybody elses.

So for everyone that’s mad the MJ is clogging the media, they can simply check the online sources for other news. In the meantime suck it up…

BTW I cried when Paris spoke…

TO MY2SENSE

Its alright. Theyre showing MJ’s videos. But about the memorial…that was good and so right on. I could type out a lot of words but I rather not. Ill just leave this comment as it is. Oh Paris.

Well done!

R.I.P Mike!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson. We will never forget you!!!

that was an amazing memorial

and i didnt cry until paris started to speak

RIP MJ

LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP. R.I.P ♥

A CHILD SHALL LEAD US. Those children should stay right in the jackson family. Janet and Jermaine with moms help. Marlon hit the nail on the head. Now they can leave him alone. No matter what they say about him God has the final say in they will only be hurting his children at this point. Now that is the way you celebrate an ICON. BET was wrong. RIP MIKE.

when paris went to speak….oh i had to cry

Lorele stop talking on here and YOU CHANGE THE WORLD YOURSELF. Man in the mirror. I’m already doing it personally in my life. Changing myself stop arguing and just do it.

Just celebrate the man damn stop making debate.

the devil is at work already
how hard is it NOT TO COMMENT on a post you don’t like cause really it’s not a must people have to voice their senseless opinions
the 1st time, yea, that’s cool, but 5 times..damn!
some of yaw (esp that noisemaker) need serious help

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IDIOTS ARE QUESTIONING IF HIS BODY WAS IN THE CASKET. SO WHAT. A OPEN CASKET WOULD BE CHAOTIC, PEOPLE WOULD BE TRYING TO GET CLOSE. AND ISN’T IT ABOUT CELEBRATING THE LIFE AND SPIRIT ‘AND NOT THE BODY’. GOD BLESS HIS CHILDREN AS THE MEDIA TRIES TO PUT THEM IN THE LIMELIGHT AND CREATE DISGUSTING RUMORS ABOUT THEIR FATHER. IT IS NOT THE TIME, I DON’T CARE HOW ICONIC HE WAS, PRIVACY IS DESERVED AT SOMETIME.

i knew i’d cry aaaaaaaall throughout the memorial…. and i did!!!…. ain’t no shame in my game… lol!!!….. brooke shields and usher did the best i think!!! and paris had me all out of whack!!! omg….and when shaheen performed my fav. song…. i was done for…. i criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeedddddd criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddddddddddddddd criiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddddddd!!!!… omg…. i was so done with that one!!! but yeah… usher’s performance was the clearly the best one!!!…. i look like a black marshmallow right now… lol…. my face is so puffy…. eyes suuuuuuuuper baggy……. lol….. i look a mess… but it’s not about me… it’s about mj….. I LOVE YOU MJ!!! XOXOXOXOXO REST IN PEACE MY LOVE!!! ALWAYS HAVE BEEN….ALWAYS WILL BE….THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER EVER LIVED!!! i said it all my life….. stuck by you through all of your trials and tribulations….. i was behind you 100%….. never doubted you….. never will!!! INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!! you’re the best mj…. you really are!!! i love you!!!

the devil’s at work already

Stevie and the Jackson brothers and his daughter Paris is what got me (Yeah I’m 32 years old and tears came down my face) I grew up off MJ’s music, like losing an cool uncle or close cousin ……..People gotta realize this man sacrifice his whole life to put smiles on peoples face…..We Appreciate you MJ….R.I.P

This loss is like 9/11 to me. After 9/11 everything changed, i believe everything is gonna change now. Michael your my inspiration and my hero, I can’t explain how much you mean to me….I love you Michael Jackson & now finally have your peace.

IT DOESN’T MATTER IF HIS BODY WAS IN THE CASKET OR NOT. HIS SPIRIT WAS IN THAT ROOM!

A SOLID GOLD CASKET COVERED IN ROSES. FIT FOR A KING!

the whole memorial was beatiful,i cried at least 5 times………………its still so sad=(R.I.P—K.O.P)

nobody will ever reach the heights mj did!!!…. this was a true star!! all these celebs thinking they’re IT….. they’re not!!! look how many people passed away and didn’t get a fraction of what mj has gotten in this sad time!!! THEY CLOSED DOWN THE FREEWAYS FOR THIS MAN!!!…. they only do that for the president!!!…. THEY SET UP A PERIMETER AROUND THE STAPLES CENTER SO NON TICKET HOLDERS COULDN’T GET THROUGH!!! no other star dead or alive has that power!!! BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
