The memorial was very well done. Hearing his daughter at the end was heart breaking.
I imagine now there will be a barage of naysayers ripping it apart. Just this once, it would be nice if they would let it go....he was an amazing entertainer.

I didn't watch it but I do wish his family and true friends solace in this terrible time. For him, he is living back in the true home of all spiritual beings and he is happy and whole.

@bon123, I read somewhere that it was going to be released on DVD

So many of us were silent admirers and lovers of Michael from afar, and we always wished him the best. It never occured to us that anyone would feel otherwise.
First of all we have to treasure the fact that we still have Stevie and cherish him.
Of all the beautiful sentiments shared today, I think Stevie said it best, God needed him more. I think God needed him to wake us up and remind us to get off our rearends and DO much, tirelessly to keep his love and his legacy alive. I hope we all get busy and keep busy doing that and NEVER let his love and life die from our memories. Okay?

Tue Jul 7 2009 23:47:47 By: dbgeorge57 ( 5)
Michael was a world messenger. We have to heed his message more closely and dedicate ourselves to honoring his memory and continuing his legacy of love.

I weeped from the moment the casket was brought out to the hearse. It remimded me of 1977 when the world lost Elvis. MJ truly was the greatest entertainer of all time. It is my sincere hope and prayer that with his death, doctors will finally be held accountable for turning these amazing talented people into drug addicts. Someone has to have ethics and tell him "NO". Had that happened, perhaps we might be anticipating the London concerts afterall. The more and more that I see his children, I truly believe that he is the biological father, just look at Lionel Richie's daughter Nicole for a bi-racial child that looks white. They have the facial shape of MJ's youth, the lips and even the body type I hope they will be allowed to grow up happy and healthy and able to turn a deaf ear to all the crap that is going to come out about their daddy. Perhaps LisaMarie will be able to help them deal with those events. Lastly, Michael, my childhood was awful, painful, but when your music came on, I was transported to a place of happiness where no pain could reach me and for that, I'll always be greatful and I'll always be your fan. Be free Michael, you're with the angels now.

In Michael's memory we have to start the worldwide boycott of SONY. They played a role in the pressure that led to his physical decline. Go to www.dailymail.com

I am really upset re all the HYPE about Michael Jackson....beside I am really upset re all the HYPE about Michael Jackson.....He made up all his alleged awards....beside his alleged
charitable donations........what DID he give the music world ????
Now look at Elvis Presley...a voice undeniable & like no other....WHO DID TRANSEND BOUNDRIES....& SET THE MUSIC INDUSTRY BREAKING ALL BOUNDRIES....BLACKS THOUGHT HE WAS A BLACK MAN & LOVED HIM...WHITES LOVED HIM & SO WHO TRANSENDED THE WORLD OF ROCK N ROLL , R & B. POP, GOSPEL, ETC ON ......ELVIS PRESLEY.......NOT MICHAEL WHO ????? ELVIS PRESLEY WAS WAY A HEAD OF HIS TIME & WE ALL KNOW THE PERSONAL DRUG PROBLEMS HE HAD ...THANKS TO AN IDIOT DR.....WE ALL KNOW...THAT WAS A DIFFERENT ERA.......& WOW OH WOW...MICHAEL HAD A DRUG PROBLEM......WHAT A FRIGGIN HOOT....
SO FOR ALL YOU IDIOTS THAT THINK MICHAEL J. CONTRIBUTED TO THE WORLD OF MUSIC.....I THINK NOT....
THERE WAS ONLY ONE KING & WAS AWARDED SO, MANY TIMES OVER & SOLD MORE THAN MICHAEL JACKSON EVERY WILL....UNLIKE M.J. MADE UP HIS AWARDS...& BIG DEAL ONLY "THRILLER" WAS HIS BIGGEST SELLER...LOOK AT ELVIS & HOW MANY SALES HE HAD ON ALL LEVELS ! ! ! !
ALSO...WE ALL KNOW WHY MICHAEL JACKSON MARRIED LISA MARIE PRESLEY......MICHAEL JACKSON.....JUST TO GET , OR TRIED TO GET THE RIGHTS TO ELVIS PRESLEY MUSIC....MICHAEL JACKSON YOU SCUM BAG TO TRY TO DO SO...SHAM ON YOU...THANK GOD LISA RECOGNIZED THIS EARLY ENOUGH...&
alleged charitable donations........what DID he give the music world ????
Now look at Elvis Presley...a voice undeniable & like no other....

I cried and cried through the entire memorial service.
And, I too ask the questions:
WHERE WERE ALL THESE SO CALLED F-R-I-E-N-D-S WHEN MICHEAL NEEDED THEM?
WHERE WERE ALL THESE SO CALLED F-R-I-E-N-D-S WHEN:
- WHEN HE WAS DYING IN FRONT OF OUR EYES?
- WHEN HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION TO PAIN KILLING DRUGS?
- WHEN HE WAS BEING PERSECUTED?
HE WAS ONE OF THEIR OWN.
WHY DID THEY NOT COME TOGETHER THEN IN PUBLIC SUPPORT OF ONE OF THEIR OWN?
WHY DID THEY NOT COME TOGETHER AND FIGHT TO SAVE ONE OF THEIR OWN?
WHY DID THEY NOT COME TOGETHER AND HELP ONE OF THEIR OWN FIND A WAY TO LIVE WITH THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HIS UNIQUE SITUATION?
THIS IS WHY I CRIED AND CRIED AND CRIED. I FEEL SUCH RAGE TOWARDS THESE PEOPLE WHO CLAIMED THEY WERE SUCH GREAT F-R-I-E-N-D-S - BUT WERE NOT THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE NEEDED THEM.
I BELIEVE THE TRUTH IS THAT MICHAEL DID NOT HAVE ANYONE HE COULD REALLY CALL ON.
I BELIEVE THE TRUTH IS THAT HE DID NOT HAVE C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y, A GROUP WITHIN WHICH HE COULD SIT IN ACCEPTANCE, LOVE, PRAISE, CARE AND PEACE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I FEEL SUCH RAGE TOWARDS ALL THOSE HYPOCRITES WHO SHUNNED HIM IN LIFE AND YESTERDAY HAD THE AUDACITY TO STAND BEFORE THE WORLD AND CALL THEMSELVES HIS FRIENDS.
I AM GLAD MICHEAL IS WITH GOD NOW. MAY HE REST IN PEACE.
WE LOVE YOU, MICHAEL.
YOU MEANT SO MUCH TO US.

one thing i didn't get from the memorial. MLK's daughter stated that MJ and MLK were alike. did she mean that MLK liked little boys too or MJ plagerized all his songs? somebody help me out here.

and miatta, he is not with god now.

to valcor: kiss my X@@##! ok. my mom HUGE fan of Elvis, but even she agree that MJ made a big contributions. HELLO had a 45 year singing career. i really didn't get the pleasure to listen to Elvis other than my mom's music (1 year old when he died), but my mom listened to the Jackson 5 and I listened to MJ solo, so he spanned over two generations. i do agree that Elvis opened up all the doors for that style of music, but MJ did contribute to music and even in death, still is.

Living in hell and doing evils work ? good luck finding yourself happiness and peace COLDHEARTED SNAKES ?(Who laugh first,will laugh last !)
