61. anyone seen jermaine on larry king? What a joke. He is doing the soft and gentle michael phoney voice.Bet it wont be long before he and his family try to get even and make money off michael.They are so obviously pissed off about being left behind as michael excelled.(I kind of understand it). I think michael should have respected his brothers and even his father , a little bit more for what they helped him to achieve.But, just like elvis, you put an uneducated person up on a kings pedestal, and you will continue to get the same result.

Unfortunately, Juanita - Michael needed to do exactly that - in POSITIVE ways - but didn't .... and spiraled down into a sick, miserable life - that not only hurt him, but surely his own children too. Having a drug addict as a parent - not matter how talented they are - is hell for any child.

64. I wish I could attend the service on Tuesday and I regret that I cannot. I hope someday I'll make it to Neverland, to pay my respects to someone I deeply revere. I have been a long-time Michael Jackson fan since I was a child, and many of my childhood memories involve Michael Jackson. His vision and artistry is beyond what most can do; he had supernatural talent that touched many people around the world. I felt a deep connection with his work; as a dancer and an artist. Watching many of his interviews and performances through the years; he had a sweet nature and gift from God. There was a fire he had that was unexplained and beautiful. I hope he is now with God in peace. I will miss him and all his beauty. He will always live through his art.

Love, Wendy

65. I wonder if Jamie Fox will be there spouting off his racist remarks again. Hey Fox, if Michael is yours and you share him with the rest of the world why did he run from you and pay money so his kids would be white?!

Jamie Fox is a racist!

71. It is a shame that a memorial will take place at the Staples Center-I wish the state of California would have stepped up to the plate and helped the Jackson Family host a proper funeral for The KING OF POP! Michael Jackson was OUR Princess DI-May God Rest His Soul!

Unfortunately Juanita - that is EXACTLY what Michael needed to do - in POSITIVE ways - but didn't ..... and spiraled down into a miserable existence - which hurt not only him - but also his poor, innocent kids. Having an emotionally ill drug addict as a parent is hell for any child.

It's sad that Michael never healed from the damage from his childhood - but it doesn't excuse that he subjected his own children to total twisted madness in their childhoods.

73. Some songs planned for the service include:

Joe Jackson singing Pink Floyd's "Money"

The remaining members of Queen singing "Another One Bites the Dust"

and

Elton John singing "Don't let your son go down on me"

74. It's fitting that the memorial is planned for the same place as Clippers games. Once again, the stands will be filled with a bunch of crying losers.

75. Staples is going to be a Memorial Service, memorial services do not have the deceased persons casket or remains, it will just be a group of people. Funerals have the deceased there. I am sure it will all be on TV, maybe you will even be able to buy it on DVD soon after.
