Anyone watching Michael Jackson's memorial?

[Mom2Angels]

No I didn't watch it, I did watch Paris on TMZ and she looked like she was forcing herself to cry more then anything IMO. And of course she loved her father and thought he was the greatest, he probably never bothered her, if I remember correctly didn't he like little boys?

This memorial shouldn't have happened, [FONT=&quot]pedophiles[/FONT] shouldn't be memorialized, he was a sick man in so many ways, this whole thing makes me ill.

wow.... really? how can u say something like this... forcing herself to cry? SHES A CHILD, SHE LOST HER FATHER, no matter what u think of him, that man was her father, and for a child to loose a parent that young is heartbreaking. the fact that u can pick on a child who is grieving is beyond me. she wasnt faking it, she was crying because she lost her father. have some respect.

Michael was a father and was, from all indications, a good father.

And have you thought about the implications of accusing a man of such a horrible crime and then discovering he was innocent?

We'll likely never know for sure but in this country, we are innocent until proven guilty.

Michael was not proven guilty.

No way was that little girl forcing herself to cry. That was raw emotion for her daddy.

This is not the place. You should be ashamed of yourself. Regardless of who he was or what he did, he was first and foremost a father, a son, a brother, a cousin, and a loved one. Show some respect, will you? I guarantee if your loved one was in the same position as Michael and people were making disgusting comments like this, you'd be enraged.

Wow, I thought that I'd seen cold but this is a new one for me. Whether he did anything or not, he's gone now. That should make you happy. But can we leave the kids alone? I hate it when people pick on children.

I went to the Public Memorial Service this morning, it lasted for almost three hours. I had been crying more than my mom while at the service. When they brought out the casket.. I was in shock. I didn't know what to feel, but with the casket in the STAPLES Center, it made me feel complete inside. Around when they were taking the casket out of the STAPLES Center, I felt empty inside. I'm so depressed, and saddened -- but, Michael Jackson isn't gone. He'll live on in all of our hearts Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever.

Aside from being depressed and saddened, the Memorial Service was a memorable experience that I'll forever remember, and remember that I got to share it with my mom. I loved the music, what people had to say about their memories while they got to spend time with Michael Jackson. And then there was Paris, Michael Jackson's daughter, who said something that still makes me want to cry at this very second. Wow, that memorial was so special to go to, it was so historic, I'll always remember it, and I'll always remember Michael Jackson. He'll be in my heart, Forever.

Anyway, back to the subject.

I saw some of the memorial including the end. I thought that it was tastefully done which is a relief. Paris just about broke my heart, the poor little thing.

No, that poster was right -- when you watch it on TMZ it does appear that way. It wasn't the case (she really was crying and really trying to hold it together) but it must have something to do with TMZ (smaller file size or something).

I gotta say after seeing the kids I think they could easily be his. Paris was very brave to get up there and speak. For some kids they want to, my cousin did at her fathers funeral, I couldn't at my dad's but it's such an individual choice. Blanket just looks absolutely shattered. And who cares if they are chewing gum? Prince just lost his dad and was probably trying very hard not to cry, and Joe just lost his son. They are all in shock and whatever gets them through this day (which honestly will just be a painful blur) doesn't somehow make them low class or disrespectful.

I just hope the media leaves these kids alone now. Their dad did a really good job of keeping them hidden, with any luck they won't be stalked like the other celebrity children.

You ARE on lucky person!

The performances were fantastic. I'm so glad I taped it. The songs were especially powerful.

Sorry, like I said I have no respect for a child molester and she had no tears from what I could see.

I'm not picking on her, I just said it looked forced and I saw no tears.

I lost it during We Are The World. Just seeing everyone on stage, all holding hands, and singing one of Michael's most touching songs. It was just incredible at how many people were touched by him. Brooke Sheild's speech made me cry too. She must have really loved him.
I lost it when they had Man in the Mirror playing with an empty stage and a spotlight where Michael should have been.

But I cried so so so so so so so hard when Paris spoke, I couldn't stop sobbing. I knew he was an incredible person and it was so so nice to hear his child speak up for him. God, this is totally killing me.

Seeing the coffin, just was so sad. I couldn't believe he is no longer performing with that amazing smile and energy any more. That he is laying in there, lifeless.

And I lost it just typing this. I don't know what I am going to do to get over this. It has destroyed my heart.

I believe this thread is for people who actually watched the memorial because they appreciated MJ. Seems like you're just trying to ruffle feathers. Why not start your own MJ bashing thread if that's how you feel.

Again, R.I.P. Michael Jackson. And, bless those children who are mourning their daddy.

my bad... didnt realize you were there when it happened that you know this FOR A FACT!

and regardless of what you THINK he did, picking on an 11 year old whose father just passed is pretty crumby. why would she PRETEND to cry for her FATHER? really... like... thats just beyond me.

i havent watch tmz's version, but regardless to take away from an 11 year old child's greiving of her fathers passing is disrespectful. thats all im saying
