Very good speech and hopefully enlightening for those who don't know about all the things he did.

Try to ignore the jokes,they will never take away what MJs brought to the music world.Its the end of an era for some of us
I second this ...
I wouldn't call myself a fan, but it doesn't take very much to show a little bit of respect ... especially at this time ...

MJ was such a star and deserves a great send off. Like I said before, I think a lot of people did not realise how much they liked him.
Awww litlle Michael
Oh Lordy, this is too much, I am blubbing like a baby now....
I went to see Take That on the 26th June and they dedicated the final song Rule The World to MJ...fireworks the lot, it was beautiful!

Good on them
That song always makes me blub at the best of times.
Madonna's tribute looked great too.

I think that's probably very true ...
the footage on bbc2 certainly indicates the massive cultural chasm between uk and usa.
We are all privileged to have lived in Michael Jackson's time. Future generations will envy us for being alive at the same time. I am of the generation that spawned The Beatles. Michael Jackson is comparable to The Beatles. Michael Jackson is the only one in 37 years to have come anywhere near The Beatles in terms of longevity. And pure genius.
Smokey Robinson looks really good...

I agree! quote:Originally posted by Shar:

I always thought he was OK, and quite liked him, but it's only since he died that I realised how gosh darned amazing he really was. He was very eccentric and all that, and his personal life was plagued with controversy, but he was such a genius. And let's face it, who is perfect? All the people who judged him and said bad things about him probably ain't so perfect!
The lil kid from BGT is on now....
How the hell did this kid get beaten by Susan Boyle!? 
Awwwww, the lad from BGT's on....what a fantastic thing for him to have the privelige of doing!!!

It was just in case lol xx
As I said before, he is one of the last of a dying breed of people who were real megastars and world class performers. I can't think of anyone spawned from THIS decade who is in the same class as Elvis., the Beatles, MJ, Frank Sinatra, and so on and even madonna, Mariah, Celine and many many others.quote:Originally posted by The Devil In Diamante:quote:Originally posted by Twee Surgeon:

And the charts are not the same. I remember the time when you remembered where you were when a certain song was number one, and what holiday you were on, and who you were dating and where you were working....
And we all used to bundle together in the school grounds around the radio waiting to see what was number one, and albums used to sell 10s of millions, and singles were number one for months; that rarely happens now
MJ was from an era that will never be repeated. I feel sorry for people under 21 now as they have never and WILL never know what we knew
This is a beautiful memorial and in no way trashy theres a lot of love in there and out here for a much maligned Micheal, he was a caring man and his music will live on but hopefully so will his good works.
wow that young lad was great, bless him he was amazing to get through that and then say those lovely words.
