123. Mariah is a very honorable person and to anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss her ass. Just because she has been in the business for nearly 20 years does not make her obsolete. She is a very sweet person, and has never given an aura of arrogance to date. For those that do not know, Mariah is the one who made this song popular once again and her version has been sang more often than MJ's. She has every right to perform this song and I know she will do it justice. Michael Jackson himself has praised her many times because of her voice and ability to harmonize with music, and she has given him credit as well since he was the one who originally composed the song.

124. Can't she just do regular concerts and not something totally inappropriate for the occasion?

127. I cannot believe people are being so mean and full of hate on here. MJ would never have spoke like this. I guess your not following his dreams for the world to be a better place.

133. Ugh! PUH-LEASE! So many other talented vocalists out there than Mimi! Just wondering though.... did she actually know MJ? Or is this all for the photo-op?

135. T'was awful. "I'll Be There" was a fitting choice, seeing how MJ's soul and MC's voice weren't present.
