This was a lovely tribute; better than Mariah’s (to listen to).
So far, her, Jermaine & John have done great.

# 5

Amazing Woman!! The best of the Memorial MJ

@Carol:

In my family it is beleived that a pregnant woman must not wear black if she has to go to a funeral..it’s bad luck. Also in other part of the world they mourn in white too….

she freakin’ killed it! amazing. bravo.

Girl can sure sing. What a let down Mariah Carey was. WOW I never knew what a poor singer she actually was. Sick? Hmm not sure but was very disappointing.

# 9

She was HORRIBLE and so was Mariah.

The only decent one so far was his brother.

Horrid women singers

Jennifer was awesome, Mariah has technical and vocal difficulty. Did Jermaine mix up the lyrics to SMILE? I thought I heard him sing: Light up your face with sadness? Hide every trace of gladness???

She sucked

Though I did not grow up in his music, I will grow up in the legend this man has left behind. He was and is today and probably always will be the king of pop. Rest in Peace MJ, the world will miss you for many years to come.

she killed it so talented, for once beyonce wasn’t there soooooooooooooooo sick of her

As a Mariah Carey fan I felt sorry for her. Weak performance :( J Hudson rocked it.

Thanks Jennifer Hudson.

“We are the world” is one of the most touching songs I have ever heard and the people who were there singing, honoring him and supporting his familly made it all even more beautiful.

Jennifer did an excellent job and wearing white to a funeral during the Summer is fine. I must say Mariah disappointed me with her performance.

I think she did an ok job but you half to say that Paris Michaels daughter just fill the room with tears there was not a dry eye in the audience after those words she gave. my best wishes to Paris and Michael JR and Prince and the rest of the Jackson family. It was a very emotional and touching time.

Jordan Chandler and his family and the other boy’s family only really knows…

Jennifer was great.Loved the backup singers and dancers.

i have to agree, when Paris went up. I bawled, it was too emotional. The whole thing was emotional.

@Tarynd - we could clearly see what an wonderful daddy Michael represents on his daughter’s life, on his children’s life.

Another thing if that woman debbie rowe tries to take those childern away from there one true family i be f@!#$$% P!$$ed after seeing paris speak and lean on janet. you cant say debbie rowe is the rightful person to take care of those childern. it would be just so in humain to tear them away from people who care about them most.

Favorite part of the ceremony. =)
I loved this song when I was little

This was fantastic; Jennifer, Jermaine & John did MJ proud.

the young boy shaheen??? did a good job too.
