Anyone watching Michael Jackson's memorial?

[Ppufi]

Poor Mariah is loosing her upper-register.

 

[aristocatz]

She looks beautiful, doesn't she?!

I had heard that TV Guide Channel would be replaying it but I haven't checked yet.

Darn, I don't get that channel

 

[Darsa]

Argh argh argh!! I tried watching it here but it's not working for me I certainly HOPE there's a replay for those of us who are working during the ceremony! *sigh*

It's on live stream at tmz.com.

I missed the beginning, are they wearing the gloves on the hands that held the casket, or the free hand?

I'm watching. I saw the children entering the Staple Center earlier on ABC.

I can't imagine how hard it would be to perform at something like this.

Somebody said that the children didn't show a lot of emotion, but children handle grief so much differently than adults. They can be crying one minute and playing the next -- they just process these things in a different way.

Our local news todl stories of seeing people show up with tickets who didn't need to use their other ticket, so they were pulling strangers from the crowd in with them for free.

john mayer's guitar playing was amazing, but i wasn't impressed with whoever did the vocals (can't see it, i'm working and listening).

 

[tinkerbell615]

Poor Brooke Shields. This is really hard for her.

 

[portocall]

his daughter certainly understood what Rev. Sharpton was saying about her dad. She was up on her feet in a hurry.

I heard that as well.

I didn't know him and Brooke shields were that close

 

[lovetoscrap]

Awww. Poor Brooke.

I am a chain cryer and she is making me tear up.

 

[kafitty]

ohhh how i love John Mayer. i am assuming it was his decision to only play guitar - great choice!

i had no idea he & Brooke Sheilds were buddies!

and ewwww Al Sharpton. Though holy wow did he lose a whole person or what?

 

[MsAmerica]

Ok....back to me not believing MJ is in that casket...

After so many have spoken or sang they have gone down and hugged the family, yet no one has gone over to MJ's casket and touched it....

I really feel for Brooke, I think they probably understood each other very well with them both being child stars. I believe Brooke's grief is very real. She is so beautiful

Just my opinion....

Brooke is handling herself well. I don't know that I could do that and not break down.

So true. They just can't cry all the time. They have been at services all day. At some point their brains have to turn off the ability to be emotional about it to give them a truly needed break.

I'm pretty sure that Brook and MJ were considered to be actually dating for a short time.

 

[ryanshana]

me either.....

 

[Ppufi]

I'm not gonna cry....I'm not gonna cry....

Didn't they date or at least, they hung out together a lot when they were both younger.
