i still can’t believe he’s dead
loved by the world
LEGEND
KING
beautiful man, he deserves the best.
he’s with god now

Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross will surely be at the private ceremony. I would think they have no desire to entertain Michaels fans in a public memorial. Looks like a list that Al Sharpton has put together - Michael had many many very close white friends, but, somehow the best they could do was Brooke Shields and ?????John Mayer????? come on.

poor guy… RIP

List is not so impressive or long.

@Cherri: Diana Ross Can Not Attend Due To Security Concerns, Sadly : (

where’s all the white people? ya know, michael didn’t want to be black…obviously so this is kinda strange that there are only 2 gonna be there.

To # 31

He did not want to be white, he suffered from a skin disease. He also suffered from Lupus which according to reports was in remission. Do your research and see for yourself. Just google under images “Michael Jackson vitiligo pictures.

Oh brother. Talk about extravaganza. Seems to me the wrong people are calling the shots for this ceremony. Big is not always better. At this point I wouldn’t even go if someone gave me a ticket.

RIP (and quiet) Michael.

LOL. NUMBER # 3. Absolutely agree with you. This is turning into a media circus to rival with Barnum and Bailey. Disgusting and Shameful to say the least to wait this long to bury this man for big bucks, and it is Big Daddy Jackson’s doing. He IS the freak in the family, and he is doomed. His past WILL catch up with him, and it won’t be pretty. And it won’t be on earth. Good luck freaky Jackson Daddy.
At your age, your ugly old face won’t be around long to spend anything. God DOES have a sense of humor, and takes care of greedy abusive freaks like you.

john mayer?????

Jared, there are rumours that Justin is also a participant - is this true? I was hoping for Diana Ross also.

Elizabeth Taylor won’t be there

@Rita: Say what you will, but he just played a beautiful rendition of “Human Nature.”

It is the last chance to say goodbye to the pop icon, Michael Jackson on the touching
I will hold my favorite Michael Jackson DVDs for repeating Michael Jackson memories

@LolaSvelt:
The Britains got talent kid was there because he was part of Michaels comeback tour he was personally invited to perform.
