46. 20. Okay really? I have to agree with most of the comments already posted. MC please stay home. Why not get singers who actually knew MJ, oh say for instance Smokey Robinson who can sing "Never Can Say Goodbye" or how about Cheryl Crow she toured with him and sang on stage with him. Or even his highly talented sister Janet, she can sing MJ's "Gone Too Soon". Or even the brothers, I'm sure MJ would love that and so would we.

This is just so sad. Plagued in life with so much joy and sadness at the same time, in death free from all. Your music will live on in us Michael, just like you wanted. God Bless you.

YOU REALLY COULD NOT BE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO THINK THAT ANY OF THE JACKSON'S SHOULD SING TOMORROW...THAT WOULDN'T EVEN BE APPROPRIATE EVEN IF THEY FELT UP TO IT!

Well this stands to reason. Mariah used to be white, but is now black.

48. 40. Will she be dressed like a slut? Tight mini skirt, with her fat thighs hanging out and her fake boobs over exposed. I'm sure she doing this for increased record sales also. I bet there will be a DVD/ and or CD that comes out of this so that she can gain more money. She loves the attention and is just using this chance to get her fat butt noticed.... Can you tell that I CAN'T stand her. I liked her when she was down to earth back in the 80"s....

DID YOU GROW UP WITH HER? BECAUSE IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY MARIAH CAREY DIDN'T DROP HER FIRST SINGLE UNTIL LIKE THE EARLY 90'S?

49. It's sad to hear Mariah condones child abuse, very sad indeed.

51. Wheeled in wearing some sorta wild printed sack, huge shades, and millions of $$$ in gems, Elizabeth Taylor--the old cow--will deliver the eulogy. LMAO. Yeah, she's one of MJ's best friends, but have you heard her talk? She hurts my ears--she speaks sooo SLOW. Her over-the-top performance is going to take forever . . . The old "dame" Are all his other friends dead?

52. Love Mariah but she butchered "I'll be there". Some artists just shouldn't copied like a young MJ, Stevie Wonder and James Brown. No one can sing like them.

In the late 80's (1988) in NYC she was a backup singer for Brenda K. Starr. She would sing at many clubs/bars. She wasn't known back then and she was down to earth not the crazy ungrateful diva she is now..... Anymore question????

55. Mariah Did know Michael if you recall him backing her in 2002 saying he was a shoulder to lean on during 2001! (Do a fact check)
Has been? Mariah has 18 #1's going on 19 & has sold over 200 million so unless the posters saying shes a has been have been as productive in their careers they need 2 sit down & shut up!
Fat? Considering the average woman is about a size 14/16, which even w/ weight gain which shes losing she still doesn't rep the average American female. I think shes fine. Unless u like size 00 anorexic chicks
Don't like Mariah don't watch it!!! (It's called a remote control).
Besides 90% of u liars & hypocrites thought that Michael was faking his sickness b4 they pronounced him dead! Just let the King of Pop RIP already!!! @ least I had his CDs b4 his death & appreciated his music prior 2 his unfortunate death.

56. Mariah has probably done one of the best Michael (Jacksons 5) cover EVER! She definitely did a BRILLIANT job singind I'll be There. For those who can't stand, I am so sorry you are not able to comprehend as Bono says 'the voice of an angel." And I am SURE Michael really appreciated his voice because he invited her to sing with him back in 2001.

57. Mariah did an EXCELLENT job singing I'll be there. Actually it was a NUMBER ONE so this shows how much respect this woman has when considering this recording. Actually MJ really appreciated Mariah's voice. He called her back in 2001 to join "What More can I Give". For those who can not stand, switch the channel, try to do sth interesting with your empty life. Or try to learn how to sing. If you think you can do it.

58. Hopefully she never has children, it's obvious she condones their abuse.

59. Maybe she will sing "one sweet day" with boyz to men. That would be fitting for the occasion!

60. She should sing I’ll be there, she sings that song like a real angel, just so beautiful and pretty coming out of her mouth you can feel it, when she sings it, it brings tears to my eyes.
