God, I've been sentimental, don't tell anybody
It broke my heart....quote:Originally posted by Cagney:quote:Originally posted by fracas:

Did you see the end where Paris spoke about her daddy?

I was surprised she wasn't there. Maybe she wanted to grieve in private. No David Gest, no Liza Minelli, no Elizabeth Taylor.
and a mahoosive thanks to Dave GaGa for assuring his protection of the thread. I'm STILL choked with this beautiful tribute, NEVER to be forgotten. quote:Originally posted by The Devil In Diamante:quote:Originally posted by Cagney:quote:Originally posted by Soozy woo:

I can understand Liz Taylor not being there, she's wheelchair bound now, she released a statement though

Sorry to be so long in posting. Been tied up with BB.
I watched it all by myself and was in tears. It was so beautiful and moving. I kept texting my daughter, as she wasnt at home to watch most of it. I loved all the tributes including the political speeches. Stevie Wonder was amazing. Just feel so sad Michael had to go just before his great come back. So tragic and still think it suss the way he died.
Poor little Paris, she seemed to hold up really well, as did Prince but he comforted her on stage so touching.
Can't begin to know how they must feel. The world has lost a unique talent - there'll never be another.
I agree with you, it was a beautiful tribute... May God be with his kids and family.....quote:Originally posted by Deegs:
It was beautifully done & parts of it were very poignant...especially when you consider they had so little time to organise it.
But, hand on heart. I have to say that putting those grieving children on public display like that was (for me) just one step too far. To watch that little girl sobbing her heart out like that was raw

I'm sure the Kids had a choice whether to be there or not?!!! Paris seemed to cling to Janet, and I'm sure Janet and the Family wouldn't have let them go if they didn't think they were up to it!!!!!
I think it may offer them some comfort to know that their Father was adored by so many!
have just seen this thread as I couldn't post till now. I thought the Memorial was beautiful, dignified and very moving when hearing the wonderful tributes and memories from those who knew him and his family so well.quote:Originally posted by The Devil In Diamante:quote:Originally posted by Deegs:

Hi PCE
Although I've not shed any tears for several days when listening to certain songs I had a real release of them when they played You Are Not Alone as there are reasons why that song has always been personal for me. I was also very moved when Jermaine sang Smile, another of MJ's songs I've been playing and loved. I felt a lot of empathy for the family and children who are naturally still grieving so much for Michael.
It was a memorable Memorial and a fitting tribute to a loving family member, and to an incredible entertainer who's music has given me many years of pleasure as it also has to so many around the world. Love and God Bless to Michael and his family. Thank you Michael.
... We all enjoyed the tribute and the end broke my heart... She just wanted to tell the world how wonderful her Daddy is.... I hope the media lets them be now though I doubt it....I think so too they all seemed shock... I also think the Kids wanted to be there.......quote:Originally posted by The Devil In Diamante:quote:Originally posted by Marguerita:

I think it was unplanned as well, & terribly moving!

Yes. you're probably right. I was just expressing my own gut reaction, tbh. It really distressed me to see a grieving child sobbing under a spotlight
