Michael Jackson

[angeldeb82]

I managed to watch the service even through a devastating thunderstorm. And it wasn't a media circus, but a moving service that brought me to tears, especially Stevie Wonder's songs and the voices of Michael and his daughter Paris.

Stars honor Jackson as a great entertainer

Here's another update: Mariah Carey Apologizes for the Jackson Memorial Performance

We feel your pain, Mariah.

Turn back the clock two weeks, and who among even those that acknowledged that his appearance was the result of a skin condition and his behavior the result of abuse, would have refrained from laughing at Jackson? Seems pretty hypocritical that people laughed at him when he was alive to feel the pain but now he's dead and beyond caring, people care? I don't get how death makes someone immune for 22.3 years. I can see south park doing something on this.

People using the service as their soapbox annoyed me; he was a champion of equality and did some charity work, but more than that, he was a father and a brother and that should've been what the service was about. The daughter's speech was the only part that got to me, mainly by making me feel like i was intruding on something obscenely private.

RIP Michael

I should've posted the link to this article last week when I first became apprised of it. I dunno, it's an interesting article on MJ, and I don't know if I fully believe everything in it (even though it makes complete and total sense), but I felt like it kinda threw him under the bus juuuust a tad.

Oh, and then there's this...

Beyond the grave people should be respected the same as when their living after all do it when it count’s.
yeah fine.

...Am I the only person on here who doesn't really care about his death?

No?

That article, like much from the daily mail, pissed me the f*ck off; jackson 'deserved' what he got because he was mentally ill? The bit about a 'cabal of bankers' reminded me of a f*cking truther.

The gay lover bits make me ask; evidence plz? orly?
The disease sounds plausible but still; evidence plz? I don't want an anonymous "yeah that's what he's got" from the jackson camp, whoever they are.

The "oh someone told me he was diagnosed with schizophrenia" bit made me roll up. One as famous as jackson isn't just diagnosed with schizophrenia and able to keep it hidden, nor would the family of one who had kept it hidden for years just blurt out hell yeah he's a schizophrenic the moment he croaks it.

There's still no news on where Jackson will be laid to rest.

Jackson's final resting place a mystery

Oh, and there IS a connection between Jackson and Sonic 3 after all!

New question: Is Joe Jackson serious?

Michael Jackson's father suspects foul play

And there are reports that Jackson's coffin did not have his body, which was interred. That's ignorant!

LaToya Jackson believes that her brother may have been murdered. I hope not.
