Becuase it was disrespectful. i heard it....i wasn't imagining things and a lot of others heard it as well in that room. It was a white guy who said that by the voice....anyway, they are the ones who say that mess all the time anyway. I'm pretty sure he was removed from the bleachers.


disbelief


For real! Look at Mike's fanbase these last twenty years, more diverse than anyone. Could have been any fool of any colour. if it happened.

also, couldn't the family oppose this? i'm not in the know of any of the legal
issues but if a regular autopsy was done wouldn't that be enough? would anyone
really want to know about past addictions or overdoses, except tabloids?

the man died and that's bad enough but except for his family, who could have
anything to do with it? police have ruled out foul play already. so why would
anyone put a family through added stress and trauma of making them burry their
loved one as they kept one of their organs?



i dunno. the family did order a second autopsy after all... shrug

That was only to see if any foul play happened. I think they felt he was murdered at the time. We will not know the final result until after all of the results come back from the toxicology report.

They shouldn't have let Paris speak. Poor baby girl.


it seemed like something she wanted to do. the way her aunts were fussing all over her just before she spoke, i'm sure if she changed her mind they wouldn't have pressured her.

No, I think she will look back on this day, and be proud she spoke up. Gave Michael Jackson a more of a human face.

Her Aunts wanted her to speak, that's why Janet was adjusting the microphone.

Me, too. Paris stood up and applauded him, when her Aunt Janet stood up. Katherine Jackson was weeping during the service, so sad.

I understand though, but damn I don't. I know, he probably didn't want to be a distraction, but c'mon...aww shucks nevermind. I'll get over it.



GET OVER IT, miss. god, p owes no one an appearance at that person's memorial service.

I didn't say he owed it to him, i just said it would had been nice, so why don't you take a chill pill, it wasn't that serious for you to even comment on. Thanks.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

But i mean the media scrutiny that will follow her because she spoke. you know how they are. once you open your mouth they consider themselves invited into your life. the momen she turns 18 boy or even 16.... disbelief

I am very impressed by Paris. I have seen pics of her and she is taking the lead and being very comforting to Blanket. Whatever else you say about MJ, he reared those kids well.

Is anyone else shocked Justin Timberlake was not there? He has repeatedly called MJ his idol over the years and yet, he has strangely been a non presence throughout this. It could also be because there is still bad blood between him and Janet

I was torn on Paris speaking but it was appearent she took the lead and wasn't gonna take no for an answer. With that being said, she did what many have tried and failed, she humanized Michael Jackson. Her words, and Brook Shields too, stay with me the most.

She reminded us all, that we are just fans, but he was her Daddy. rose

yup sad

I think it would have been classy of Prince to acknowledge Michael in some form. confused

yeah, but it just felt to me more like paris wanted to speak and her aunts were assisting her, rather than janet and latoya shoving her in front of a microphone. the two of them appeared very protective of her, which made the whole thing all the more touching to me.

Marlon, Brandon, Michael, Randy, Janet

I'm not sure if this is an agreement or a rebuttal but, you mentioned that Marlon lost his youngest brother in reference to Michael. And I just said that Randy is his youngest brother not Michael.

I don't know why this bothers me, but I've read a ton of ppl refer to MJ as the youngest boy and he's not. It just irks me that's all, so I said something.

im pretty sure brookie said the next youngest
...not the youngest.
she is correct.
maybe her wording was confusing but shes right.

That's true. They seemed very concerned about her loss as well as theirs. She was brave, and I'm glad the masses heard her speak. I believe MJ would be so proud.

That's true. I was surprised when I heard he was going to be there to perform. They probably didn't want the press to bring that up if he appeared, and you know the media would have definitely sunk their teeth into that. He probably attended the private post-memorial with close family and friends of the Jacksons at the hotel.

the memorial was beautiful.
i tried to smile like charlie,michael,and jermaine said
...but it was too hard.
i just cried.
i thought that i was getting thru this.
in the last couple of weeks ive found myself laughing.
i thought i had gotten thru it.
the battle was won.
but today...i realized...hes gone. bawl
i will never get to see this great man on this earth.
i will never get to hug his body and look into his eyes.
i am broken way beyond belief.
i am so hurt.
so very hurt.
im confused about those who think
paris speaking was wrong?
michael was all about listening to the children
and freeing your heart.
she showed another side of michael to us.
marlon...my love. bawl rip brandon
usher... sigh
jermaine... cry
...then he turned to me and said "I dare you".
