61. Mariah Carey did a wonderful rendition of "I'll Be there" in the past, so I'm thinking we should be okay here. To anyone who keeps saying Mariah is fat have you seen pictures of her lately? She is far from fat, in fact looks quite good. I'm not an MC fan, but I think trying to attack the way she looks is a bit ridiculous.

65. How much you want to bet all of the idiots that didn't like Michael WOULD TUNE into the memorial service???? Mariah would do a good job, she's one of the top female singers ......NO, she has the most number one singles and guess what??? SHE BEAT ELVIS TOO!, so I know she would bring her A game for the King of pop.

Oh yeah, people that are still bashing Michael, tomorrow it would be best you don't turn on the TV or the internet, because it's all about MICHAEL JACKSON tomorrow!

R.I.P Michael, you would never be forgotten, you were an angel on earth and no one can hurt you again.

66. I'm disappointed by the incredibly insensitive remarks made about this topic. Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey were actually friends -- Carey even had a huge hit with her live rendition of "I'll Be There" back in '92. This will, no doubt, be a tremendously moving and heartfelt performance.

70. 64. Nobody wanted to be near him before! Now everyone is his fan and his friend. Poor MJ… No real friends when he really needed in bad times.

Many of his real friends over the years have said repeatedly that when they tried to help Michael, HE SHUT THEM OUT - because they wouldn't tell him what he wanted to hear - or give him whatever he wanted .... in other words, they weren't willing to ENABLE his SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR! Just as with EVERYONE in life - you have to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN CHOICES! Michael Jackson is no different.

71. To those of you who keep making these remarks that are just flat out mean, get some therapy. You must be terribly unhappy with yourselves to get pleasure out of saying the cruelest things you can think of. It's cowardly and it's uneccessary.

72. IT'S REALLY SAD THAT A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES THROUGH THE MEDIA AND INTERNET. CALLING THESE CELEBS OUT OF THEIR NAMES LIKE ANY OF YOU REALLY KNOW THEM. YOU ONLY KNOW WHAT THE MEDIA PUTS OUT THERE. BELIVE ME A VERY HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THESE CELEBS ARE NOTHING LIKE THE MEDIA HAS YOU THINKING THEY ARE, INCLUDING MARIAH. IF SHE SINGS AT THIS MEMORIAL THEN GOD BLESS HER, AND EVERYONE INVOLVED. THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY AND SO MUCH HATRED. I JUST WISH EVERYONE PEACE AND LOVE AND HOPE TO ELIMINATE ALL THE HATRED IN THE WORLD.

73. Well since Mariah is gonna sing I'll Be There, why not have Al B sure sing Lady in my Life since he has it on his new CD that just came out. That would rock.

74. I've also heard there are many other "singers" set to perform!!! Can't wait, thank the Gods for living in the heart of L.A. This is going to be the biggest show in the history of the World. R.I.P. M.J.
