Los Angeles wants You to Help Pay for Michael Jackson Memorial

2PLAYSMAX · Jul 7, 2009

Wouldn't it be crazy if this was the biggest publicity stunt to hype up his July 15th tour date.

All of sudden Mike comes Moonwalking across stage.@)

I am considering making a donation...........IF they promise to finish all this W$#@$@#$# immediately!

get it over it , its been a week and a half of this !

here in Costa Rica, if you die today , you will probably be burried TODAY (we dont embalm bodies)

This is CETI ALPHA FIVE!

Seriously. I'm a big fan of Mike and pop music in general but it's got to the point I can't even watch the news or some of my favorite channels.

I don't know if they are whoring it out or doing a good job of reporting. But this is enough already.

Wish there was more Janet... She was looking quite good for a 40-something. Much like during life, in death the backup singers save the day. Daughter seemed sincere at the end.

That's what I thought too. I was hoping for another "wardrobe malfunction".

what ??? seemed sincere ?

an 11 year old girl breaking down at her fathers memorial was a little more than sincere..

i cant watch that part without tearing up...

Well whatever dark clouds surrounded Michael Jackson. You would have to say he was a kind man. I am pretty sure he treated his kids like gold.

You have to give Michael credit for one thing. He never had an angry media moment. You would figure being a global ICON and all just once he or one of his peoples would have spit on a papparazzi or knocked a camera down to the ground. Even when that Indian dude from the UK did that television special on him making him look like a baby-raper Michael kept his cool. Had I have been accused of committing the worse crime on the planet (molesting children) I would have been pissed off at the world and showed it.

You know I don't really cry much when it comes to moments but seeing this got my eyes welled. To me it hit home considering this whole time (including attempting to avoid all the MJ coverage) I still couldn't believe he's was actually dead. It's a great song.

Considering approx 4 mil was spend on shutting down roads, fwys, and overall security, I think the promotion company AEG who put on the event should throw pay a hug percentage of the costs.

who were all those people who got to sing "We are the World"? I didn't recognize a single one.

This is one of the parts of the tribute that brought me to tears.
Stevie can still bring it - this was amazingly touching:

sharpton's a damn leech. He did some good things in his life and for black civil rights, but I'll be damned if he isn't a media attention whore. It's a shame how he's tried to hijack MJ's death and inevitably put his race card twist into this somehow.

u know, I'm not a fan of O'Reilly at all, but he did bring up a point in that clip that i can't believe has never crossed my mind regarding his kids, and that is that they are white. More specifically that MJ chose white donors for the in vitro fertilization.

I've never really looked into or paid much attention to the whole skin bleaching accusations, but MJ could've easily found a black woman and black sperm donor or even just for 1 or 2 of his kids if he wanted diversity, but the fact that all 3 of his kids are white does make me wonder now if he really wanted to be a white person or if he thought of himself as a whiteman.

And Sharpton does come across as making MJ out to be Martin Luther King Jr. or something. I despise how immediately upon MJ's death, Sharpton has been acting as if he somehow has the authoritative rights to speak on MJ's greatness to the world. I mean, where the fuck was he when MJ was alive? But then again, I guess you can say that for a lot of people and it's just the way people are. No one gives a fuck about u when you're alive and everyone's a close confidant and shower u w/ praise when u die.
