It’s very sad that a memorial has become nothing more than a stage show and media frenzy. Yes, I’m talking to you… and your live streaming. Show some respect.
sky, get over it.
people want to feel part of this. why are you so nasty?
i’ll miss micheal jackson he was a great preson and singer
R.I.P
MICHEAL
it to bad he took the easy way out i’m just glad he didn’t take his kids with him
Wish it would not have either Al or Jesse in it would be so much nicer without their words just my thoughts. R.I.P MJ love you always
MJ didnt take the easy way out. where is the so called proof that he did? the man was about to perform 50 concerts ! they were all sold out as well, so to call it a suicide would make sense right Sky? Anyways, Im a huge fan and now the moonwalker may finally rest in peace. away from this media garbage !
micheal jackson was a inspiration in my life he make the most moves that make me want to watch his videos all over again love u micheal aka my future
All the bickering seems so pointless and “small” when I think of of MJ’s accomplishments. As a teenager, I watched this “bionic Black kid” taking on the world and kicking down fences and kicking open doors with such ease…and I began to believe that it truly could be done. Remember, this was the 60s and despite the Civil Rights Movement, there were still many barriers. But he was leaping over them constantly, and continued, for four decades, to do this–defying gravity, in a profound way. Kids all over the world who lived in less than optimal circumstances took heart from his rise. We took him for granted after awhile, he was so good at making miracles. And now, we’re in an acute state of Michaelcholia, because the fabric of our lives now has this giant, gaping hole rent through it. The more I see…the more I ache. We’ve lost soooo much more than we know…
I just want to post this scripture for Michael. I know he believed in God and no matter what the media said about him he was always protected by his creator!
‘We are hard-pressed on every side, Yet not crushed;
We are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken;
Struck down, but not destroyed.”
(2 corinthians 4:8,9 )
At the end Michael won the battle! He was not destroyed!
Here’s a poem I read about our tug- a- war with ourselves, just like Michael;
“Heart Gate”
2 Natures beat within my breast, The one is fowl, The one is blessed.
The one I love, The one I hate. The one I feed will dominate.
How true is that! Let’s all lay down “The one that Dominates” If your struggling with any addiction get help don’t let it rape your future. We were each born to have a dream for whatever reason we were raped from that dream. Start today by giving your life over to Jesus!You don’t have to do anything except to accept His gift to you “Salvation” from being seperated from Him.
My prayers go out to the ones left behind, The Jackson family and Michael’s treasures his kids.
R.I.P. Michael
‘The final curtain call’ It hurts so much. All of ths is so unreal. I hope the internet isn’t so busy to where it’s all jumpy and can’t view it good. Is that possible.?
<3 ya MJ! 4ev
I agree with Rhonda. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson (though they were family friends) needs to stay out of everyones business. All they want is attention and publicity! Without these big names they are no one but everyday people. I just wish they would do what their name refers to them as! Reverend!
If it weren’t for their name I wouldn’t even know they were religious people because I never ever hear them speak of God or try to win people to Him.
Just my opinions too
michael te amo y siempre te voy a extranar y te voy a llevar en mi corazon gracias por tu musica y tu persona eres mi orgullo y mi idolo descansa en paz rey del pop . i love you
LOVE YOU MICHAEL……..WE HAD A TRUE ANGEL AMONGST US FOR 50 YEARS TRYING TO SPREAD A MESSAGE OF LOVE, BROTHERHOOD, AND PEACE…..HE JUST GOT TIRED AND WE REFUSED TO HEAR SO GOD CALLED HIM HOME TO GET SOME REST —NOW HE’S FLOWN HOME ON HIS PRETTY WINGS….RIP.
michael was a great musician!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love u michael jackson ur an awesome person im very sad that u died wish u good luck in heaven r.i.p michael jackson and ur son michael joseph jackson jr. known as prince is HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and im his same age
Michael Jackson was truly the King of Pop, and has truly left this world to soon. He was the greastest entertainer of all times. It is impossible for him to ever be replaced. Cry because you miss him, rejoice because he’s in heaven. I love you michael. R.I.P Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson was one of the best singers that ever lived.
Michael Jackson was an excellent singer and a kind man. We need to stop and remember the King of Pop, there is to much on the news and the web that is negative and positive. The fact of the matter is that he was and always will be the King of Pop. If you want to remember Michael Jackson then please visit this Memorial website dedicated to Michael Jackson there is alot of new stuff add daily. http://farewell-michael-jackson.com This is not a negative site so if you don’t care for the pop star don’t visit.
I think it’s a good Idea for them to put the memorial on T.V. I think that because many people who can’t be there at the Staples Center can see it in there living room.
We Miss You Already Michael <3′
R.I.P
You Will Always Be In Our Hearts<33
To the Jackson family. I am so sorry about Michael. he was a great artist.
great way to pay all those fans back for all the concert tickets they are sitting on right now. hhhmmm….the flipside; I bet those unsold tickets are gonna make a big profit on ebay some day.
wow what a great pop artist he might even be more popular than elvis
I’m so devastated by the loss of Michael Jackson. In my eyes I see him as a hero. Someone I would have been more than honored to meet. His death is just like his life tragic. He will be greatly missed.
It’s very sad that you use a blog to lash out at other’s and how they feel. Michael Jackson has passed, its a very tragic thing, I am very saddened by this loss. he was a big part of my childhood. my music world was flipped upside down. I miss him dearly. I cannot believe he is gone. and to accuse him of things is out of this world. so please take your petty comments else where and the ones who want to mourn him mourn him. RIP FOREVER MJ
I’m so sad by the loss of Michael Jackson “THE KING OF POP” I’ll always remember all his songs and all the he give us with his music, I’ll miss him so much I can’t still belive that died he was a great singer and dancer I’ll always remember you Michael!!!!! ??R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON??
He exuded pure genius.
He was a pure genius.
A true inspiration and hero has been taken from us too soon. You will truly be missed, but never forgotten. God must have had a better plan up there for the one and only “King of Pop”. Thanks so much for the many incredible years of talented entertainment. RIP MJ.
king of pop is gone thats sad its amazing how much one person could inspire so many people in a whole bunch of different ways i think the media though like with michael they need to leave people alone im talking bout when he was alive leave their personal life personal
R.I.P. i cant beleive it ive always been a fan but u know i never realized how much of an impact on the world that one person can have on the world he will b missed his music will continue to inspire others and he will always b the king of pop
Take Flight Angel:
The world you have left behind will always love you and miss you.
Michael u were always a gr8 person.Despite everything you have been through, you were one of the few people in this world who had a pure soul.We are really sorry for all the fingers raised on you.U are my idol n will always be.god bless your soul.R.I.P…..King lives forever…
Michael Jackson was the 1st artist I listened 2 as I was little. His music & moves inspired me to love & appriciate music 4 as long as I live & his legacy will always have & always will live in mine & everyone’s lives. R.I.P. M.J. & thanks!!!
At first I thought that this was the funeral. But it’s not…..that will be private. Michael Jackson loved his fans dearly from the bottom of his heart and I think he would want a public memorial no I think he wants a public memorial. So he can see how much we love him.
I reamber listen to mj in car with my mom and my sister. I loved listen to billi jean and thirrer still this day I love listen to his old songs. he always be the king of pop.
I love Michael Jackson’s music so much. I hope his family is gettiing through everything. I sure wish I could’ve met him. I hope his music is played for ever. I will never stop listening to his music. He was an amazing person. I believe he is the most generous person ever.
I realized that Michael has been performing globally literally as long as I’ve been alive. I feel like his music has punctuated all of the memorable times in my life…I was listening to “I’ll Be There” with my 19 year old daughter recently…and it immediately brought back the memory of listening to the same song (on the little Motown 45rpm) on my Barbie phonograph!!!! GEEZ!!!! I had mimicked all the voices but especially Michael’s!!! “Let me fill your heart with joy and laughter…”
Michael; YOU filled MY heart with joy and laughter – thank you for it all…may you rest in peace and serenity. My love and prayers for peace go to your family and your beautiful children. This all still has not sunk in and I’m filled with sadness that we will not have the joy you brought so many any longer but gratitude for everything you gave. RIP, Michael and thank you.
I am only a few years younger than Michael Jackson. To me, there has never been a time when he wasn’t in the world. As with millions of others, it is unfathomable to live in a world without him. Our world, our country, needed his music today. His goodness, humanitarian efforts, and moral beliefs shone throughout his identity, reaching the hearts and decisions of others to follow. Hopefully those in the music world today, who say he was their role model, truly practice what they preach, creating music for today’s generation that need moral values and good role models desperately. MJ never used the “f” word in his music, nor the degradation and demoralization of youth. Our world needed him, just when he was about to re-emerge. I truly hope his new music is released, so he can still contribute to great music, dance, and a rethinking of mainstream values. I am thrilled that this generation HAS created a storm of interest in his past music. Let them listen and take heart.
Although i did nott knoe him as well as most or was not around too hear his achievments as long as others i still knoe that michael jackson met something to me just as well as he did to anyone else! he has touched our hearts with suchmagnificent work and sucess and no part of him will ever erase my memory! Like others said, my prayers as well go out to his family and children! They have been throgh soo much and deserve something in honor of being there for him no matter what he was put through! he still had a family that hje could go to and still feel wanted! Even though it waz his time to ;eave our world he will never leave our spirits or our hearts!Michael Joseph Jackson is deeply loved by many and hopefully now he will have some sort of peace and finally get some rest like he deserves! Music will never be the same after the King of Pop passed and there will NEVER be another Michael Jackson! I love him just as much as anyone else and i know that one day i will hopefuly be able to happilly rest with him when ever that day come! i love you michael and rest in peace!

I am tremendously saddened by M.J’s passing. He was a huge part of my childhood, that has been forever lost. I will never forget the world premier of thriller. My whole family popped popcorn and waited. While the video played no one spoke a word! It was the coolest thing we had ever seen. I was 6. My sister ,brother and i had his records, the beat it red jacket and my mom made us a sequined glove, and we would take turns wearing them while rocking his music and trying to dance like him. He changed so many peoples lives with his music and creativity. I have some wonderful childhood memories thanks to him! My 4 yr little girl already knows his music and dances like crazy to it. You will be forever missed and appreciated micheal. Thank u for the memories!
I AM VERY SAD TO HEAR THAT MICHAEL HAS PASS ON SO SOON. i GREW UP LISTEN TO MJ I FEEL LIKE PRICE OF MY CHILDHOOD HAS DIED. MJ HE WAS AMAZING TALELATED HE WAS GREAT PERSON AS WELL. I AM GOING TO MISS MICHAEL.
NOW MICHAEL CAN GO BE WITH THE ANGELS AND GOD. HE WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!!!
RIP MJ
LOVE YOU
MJ’s music is the only music that will make me sporadically dance, even though I’m not into pop so much he’s a guy that transcends the genres.
I would just like to say that MJ will definitely enjoy heaven. When I heard that he had passed away, I wasn’t particularly surprised. I think the stress of that trial as well as other things in his life caught up with him and I think he needed some mercy. R.I.P. MJ
Is VH1 going to have a live Video stream of the memorial or just a live blog?
what time will this come on in Texas??
I have been a fan since I was a young boy. I have warched him go through all the struggles. You are surely missed Michael! Your music will never die in my heart.
In your opinion, will Michael Jackson Funeral be Available on DVD? Vote here – http://www.votetheday.com/MJmusic/will-michael-jackson-funeral-be-available-on-dvd-429/
Words cant describe how this changes everything.
Michael was an extraordinary guy, who challenged the views of many and brought to light many of the worlds hardships. If only more could focus on some of the lyrics of the songs. If everyone would have listened to the words of “Man in the Mirror” the world really would be a better place. Michael will never be forgotten!
MJ is and always will be the King of PoP RIP MJ you will forever be in my heart
