Steevo Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 So far from what I've seen this is what stood out the most. The reason why I love strats so much http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvrtuAmHHnI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady April Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 What a lovely cover of Human Nature When Marlon spoke, or at least tried to, I was very sad for him Then when Paris spoke, the first time I have ever heard her talk, she spoke so wonderfully of her Dad. To hear about Michael in words like hers was very moving and I balled my eyes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes, well worth the millions of dollars we spent here in California on beefed up security, accomodations, etc. It's not like our fine state has anything better to be spending our money on.

Don't worry.....I'm sure your government will raise taxes to get the money back. And then the quote in your sig will come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does every thread have to turn into shite?? This was about the service and someones death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I only saw the first few minutes, I was a bit disappointed with Steve Wonder and Lionel Ritchie they seem to have lost a step or two, though I suppose they're getting on a bit now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the 2 million tax payer dollars (at least) that it cost to do the funeral. No shite there, it's a serious issue. If we the people are going to lay into politicians for misappropriating a few thousand dollars (read South Carolina governor), we certainly have the right to complain about millions coming out of the public treasury. The fact that you personally happen to agree with how the money was spent is not really the issue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security issue is not Michael Jacksons fault. This thread is for those who wish to mourn a few words. Leave it to that. Why do you have to turn it into the drama thread?

The_Analog_Kid Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The memorial was great. I'm even watching the rerun of it right now. Michael Jackson, you are a legend! We love you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Analog_Kid Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I wish people could just respect this thread and what it's about. This is to honour MJ, not complain about what his memorial has done. Have some respect or don't bother posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There are plenty of other threads where one can bitch about all things MJ. Let's not make this one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I thought just about the entire memorial was very moving. And without a doubt, I thought what John Mayer did was just about the best of them all. What everyone else spoke of about Michael, he did with his guitar. It spoke so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theworkingman Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Mayer was fantastic. Brooke Shields speech nearly reduced me to tears. Still can't believe he's gone. Overall, a really really great memorial though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor girl, those were real tears She probably felt it was something she had to do to say goodbye. My sister did something similar, she needed to do it. I never said anything at my dad's funeral, I did compose a piece of music for him tho. I just couldn't preform it on the day because I was just not really there.

Modest Man From Mandrake Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Mayer did a fabulous job on Human Nature. It was reportedly one hell of a memorial. I didn't watch any part of it other than the John Mayer video, and the video of Paris Jackson saying good-bye to her daddy. My wife is currently watching a replay of it in our room. I can hear bits and pieces coming from my room. My heart and prayers go out to his 3 children. I say forget about the negativity that had surrounded MJ from time to time in life. The fact remains that those 3 kids just lost their daddy, and that's a seriously heart wrenching tragedy. R.I.P Michael. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
