47. I didn't watch the memorial but have checked out a few of the photos posted and I'm wondering who let Mariah out of the house like that this morning? She either needs to hire a stylist or replace her current one. The Girls needed to be covered up, it was memorial service! Very disrespectful and tacky.

We are celebrating NAIDOC national indigenous celebrations here, most of the morning here on Palm Island was dedicated to MJ played his music before our traditional dances started. MJ was the greatest and is remembered here on Palm Island, AUSTRALIA. RIP

50. We must all remember, he was the greatest artist that ever lived. That is why the people went after him. His public life is what sent him into the strange person he bacame,it is true that brilliance comes with excentric ways. Someone wrote that they believed some of the charges against Michael. Obviously they don't have kids b/c if someone molested my kid no amount of money would have stopped me from sending his butt to jail. Obviously, they were aware of the fact that Michael was way to upset and want it to go away quickly. They banked on Michaels fear of bad publicity and ran with it, they got their money and stopped everything. They helped destroy a fragile heart.
Prince, Paris and Blanket need to know that Michael loved them and that he was so magical. They need to know how much daddy did good in his life.

51. #45... you say you never watched it, yet said it was "tacky?" That is the most ridiculous thing anyone could say. It was actually very nice... and a graceful way to say goodbye to him. It had a nice, home feeling to it; and it showed the world that Michael was a human being.. even with all the eccentricities (which also means he was a genius) Next time, watch something before judging it.

52. Michael Jackson didn't have one single friend in the whole world. No one to confront him about his 25 year drug addiction. Not one person to help him, only users and losers espeically those closest to him (his victorian father, victimized and victimizer brothers, and a silent mother, who let the kids be stuffed into station wagons and dragged to strip clubs to perform. He didn't have one single role model, except for Diana Ross, who also exploited him by claiming to have discovered the Jacksons, when in fact it was Gladys Knight. We celebrate his music, even if he was a child slave. But we don't really know Michael Jackson, no one did, or he wouldn't be dead right now.

53. Michael Jackson's Memorial Service was beautiful, yet much too short...there was so much more to be said of this incredibly gifted and giving human being! When one is viewed as different, it is never an option to try or automatically easy, for the "average" to comprehend! What needs to be noted is that average, shall remain just as, staying the same, playing over and over the same silly games...being different offers less traveled roads, unique opportunities where the average cannot go...dare to go! Michael Jackson's service today proved just how different he was, he gave his life to change this very ugly world...and still the average can not comprehend! Amazingly, the only thing Michael Jackson wanted was to be everyone's friend! He didn't see color or region, everyone to him was the same! Wow, what it must have been like to be him!!! So I say let the average continue to be just, in due time everyone, including the average, will have a day of reckoning to come! For those who have allowed Michael Jackson to inspire them to be of love and happiness, today we understand, just what it meant to be him, to have hurt so much...but through his pain, never once did he ever walk away! He kept giving until it was all given away! That is not the work of anything average! That my friends...was the work of a Man with a Love that was more than different...it was unprecedented! Get your hearts together people....Sloane!

54. Such a touching memorial for a child molester. I hope they make tons of money on ticket sales when OJ dies, too.

56. The whole memorial was amazing - Mariah and Usher were unbelievable - I could watch it over and over but it's too sad.
It is true - Michael was the GREATEST PERFORMER EVER!

57. I felt quit nauseous during this whole spectacle. "MJ Love" is right. Where were Michael's true friends, when he was drowning in addiction? I know addicts are difficult to deal with--but Brittney's dad finally stepped in and saved her from the leeches and enablers who were killing her. Why didn't anyone do this for MJ? How much money did these doctors, managers, hangers-on siphon off before they finally killed MJ? Plenty. How much will the family that left him to drown and die at the hands of these leeches now make? Even more.
This man was tortured as a boy (I am SURE with all that talent that Joe Jackson could have created the Jackson 5 without torturing his children), and then went on to commit crimes against children of his own. You are wrong Rev. Sharpton, MJ DID have some pretty "weird" behavior.
The AEG promoters pushing MJ MUST have had an inkling that all was not well. I saw an interview with the AEG guys and it was so obvious they were lying when they said they had no clue he had any drug problems.
And I agree with Female that Paris Jackson's comments seemed as though they might have been coached. Maybe not, but maybe...
Kardashians showing up for PUBLICITY at this tragic event? And how many others did the same? Show biz is so full of parasites, vampires, leeches, users, abusers, it is amazing anyone survives to old age at all in that business.
Finally, the "unknown" performers who appeared in the program. Wait and see. They will show up on Papa Jackson's new label, or some AEG concert. I still feel nauseous.

58. All of this for a child molester? "Not guilty" doesn't mean "innocent"... And where were all of you Jackson freaks when it was said he was dying of infections and had only 6 months to live?

59. If MJ was all about unity how come the majority of those invited were black and it was mostly a "black" thing? There's a reason why MJ became white

60. I heard that silicone invested bimbo, Brooke Burke made a negative remark about this memorial. If she didn't have anything nice to say she should have kept her yapper shut. She doesn't have a fraction of the talent MJ had. She can't act worth a damn. Her best talents are getting naked and knocked up. Brooke knows that when she kicks the bucket she won't get a fraction of love and outpouring of world wide grief the fans have shown for the King of Pop. She isn't in his class or the class of anyone with talent. If she had any class she would have known to shut up and just send her sympathy and condolences.
God speed, Michael Joseph Jackson. You were the most talented and inspiring entertainer that God ever sent us. There will never be another like you. God has taken back one of his all time greatest gifts.
