Jermaine's performance was surprisingly amazing!

When Paris took the stage, I just started crying. Ohh honey... I just wanna hug you, Paris.
Just watched the show,it was so beautiful and touching!RIP Michael, you will alwabs be in our hearts!
When Paris took the stage and spoke those words, I just started crying it was just so intense!!
RIP Michael Jackson.We come from different walks of Life, But Papua New Guinea in the Pacific are Great Fan of you.Held a Farewell Tribute at One of Port Moresby's Famous NightClub.
RIP. MICHAEL JACKON,YOUR SONGS AND MEMEORIALS WILL LIVE ON. YOUR UNEXPECTED
LANDING OF YOUR JET (AT OUR JACKSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT)
Jermaine's 'breakdown' in the middle of the song seemed so scripted. He is such a fake.
And Mariah. Where is the auto-tune when you need it?! She really can't sing anymore. Maybe she never could... perhaps it was always lights and mirrors.
was there any symbolism to the yellow roses and ties?
Did anyone notice that last picture on the big screen said "I am alive, and will always be with you"?????? Can't believe no one has said a thing about it. Are you all sure he is really dead?? Just askin'
I am guessing yellow roses - ELISABETH TAYLOR. Surely there cant be any other reason - maybe she gave them, they can be symbol of friendship (and also betrayal in love).
<3LONG LIVE THE KING<3
Michael Jackson may be dead, but his LEGACY and SAINT-LIKE IMPRINT on the world will live on forever.
R.I.P, GLOVED ONE, with LOVE from PAPUA NEW GUINEA.
RIP MICHEAL JACKSON FROM MY FAMILY TO YOURS ALL THE WAY FROM ST KITTS WEST INDIES. DIDN'T KNOW MICHEAL INPERSON BUT I FELT LIKE HE WAS MY FRIEND,BROTHER,UNCLE. MY HEART IS HURTING AND I KNOW I WILL MISS HIM ON TV. JUST KEEP ON BEING STONG AND GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH. GOD BLESS FROM SABRINA WALTERS AND FAMILY A GREAT FAN.
I've wathched the Paris best Daddy speech about a dozen times and I clearly don't see a tear drop on Paris or any of the family even with their sun glasses on you would think a drop would be seen running down their cheek. The more I see the whole thing the more FAKE it looks. Except for the outsiders such as Brook Shields I believe were sincere and not in on the scam. The rest of the family looks very suspicious fake in their grieving. Come on Janet your make up was not smearned one bit.
Yes I did see that "I'm alive" bit on the last screen I think it's a legal out not once did anyone they say he was dead, they always refered to it as he is always with us. Humphhh
A bunch of FAKERS! There's a lot of things that aren't adding up; pointing to the fact that MJ staged his death and that this is all a scam. That would help to explain his daughter's pathetic "tear-less" meltdown on stage...as well as not a tear shed from his brothers who 'appeared' to be choking up and breaking down onstage but not a tear running down their faces. The fact that Diana Ross (designated by MJ to care for his kids in his mother's absence) and Eliz Taylor not showing up for his memorial/tribute.......that makes no sense except perhaps they're in on it and in good conscience couldn't go on national TV and pretend to be upset. Watch the video of him in London, announcing his upcoming tour there.....it's so not MJ.
