17. Mariah sounded horrendous and is too low class to even have been invited to this thing. This memorial could have used NO MARIAH and NO Reverend Sharpton. They are phony as heck. But the daughter, Paris, at the end was a beautiful thing to see. She loved her father and was very sad.

23. Mariah has an incredible talent .. no doubt. Having said that, she has picked up this annoying habit of signaling each note she's about to sing next with her fingers. (Please stop it). Also, it's too bad someone didn't tell her that it's not appropriate to dress like a hooker at a funeral. Basic black is usually in order.

24. Michael Jackson, to quote a lyric from one of your songs...I want you to know, “You are not alone.” Not anymore. I believe you are now, the angel in heaven you sought so hard to be here on earth. You were so misunderstood, vilified, and beat upon. There was so much mockery and hatred of you, for only one reason. You’re goodness; your luminosity into the beautiful heart you believed could be in every man. You had such generosity, and tried so hard to teach others, to look into the soul; and to not judge based on color, creed or class.
But darkness, doesn’t like beauty to shine. It detracts so much from what it is trying to do. Create dark humanless souls of us all. To replace the radiance that was born within all of us, by God. You spoke of nothing, but love and peace. Your light through your words, and music shone so bright. You’ve brought so much too so many, but only sought pure love for yourself. Your sensitivity brought ridicule. When all you wished most of all was to be embraced and understood. You had such a creative, gentle, kind spirit.
I think what personally stood out to me most of all; was your tender nature. Envy in other people mistook that for weakness, when in reality it is strength. The force of who you were was so strong. Many people wish to have that, but could never achieve it. So they became jealous and spiteful towards your achievements.
We are all afforded different opportunities in life. Instead of being envious, they should have rejoiced with you, in your success and in your life.

29. God, Mariah Carey sounded awful and looked like a $2 hooker. Was it a tribute/memorial service or was it a "make his songs sound terrible" event. Someone should tell her how to dress with respect for herself and others and quit playing with the notes of songs, shes lost her talent, get her the hell off ANY stage. Its "Ill be there" not "Ill be there-ere-ere-ere-ere-ere" Hideous
