i am... but passively a billion viewers expected i heard. wow lol, nobody can go downtown in a car xD
My brother has it on one of the stations broadcasting it... I'm just listening to it from afar. :/ There's supposed to be performances
I thought it was a good service with some great performances. It was moving at the end when Paris, MJ's daughter called him daddy.
I watched most of it, my mom cried. I thought it was very well done, and a lot of people gave touching performances.
So I watched the Michael Jackson Memorial It was really good. Touching. It made me sad though. : ( I don't like being sad. But anyway I was reading my 802 page book for summer reading and I was on a roll! I was concentrating and actually understanding what I was reading instead of scanning over the words because I want to hurry up and get finished with that thing. And to make matters worse it's summer time so I have ADD like nobody's business. Lol. Well not diagnosed but you get what I mean. I'm have difficulty focusing sometime. So my friend sent me a blasted text "Are you watching the MJ memorial?" and I was like "Nope; now I have to." so I started watching it at like 1:30 it's now 4:06 and I have yet to start reading that book again and now I have absolutely no desire to do so. What jerk thought of summer reading? I like to read but on my own terms with no deadlines. And not stuff from like the 1800s. Haven't school's heard of books with modern english? I mean really. Lol. But anyway. I was just posting to say if you didn't watch the memorial service you should watch it! Well if you want to. I enjoyed it. It's coming back on at 7 eastern time so I'm guessing that would mean 6 central? I'm not sure since I'm an east coast boy. : ) Um. Yeah. That's it. Wish me luck with this blasted book. Haha.
I watched nearly the whole thing, it was so sad and well done, i was teary-eyed through almost the whole thing.
I watched the whole things, and I woke up the second it started. Seriously. I was almost crying. What Paris said just hit me. I'm gonna miss MJ.
I did watched the whole thing. I had [still have] nothing else to do really, but it was great and very emotional.
I just watched the clip of his daughter Paris coming up to the microphone: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHlM3wI-VBQ[/YOUTUBE] So touching.
I have watched it from beginning to end since 12pm live. I haven't cried so much in years. Brooke Shields made me sad, Magic Johnson made me laugh, was empowered as Sharpton preached and cried as I had never cried before when Marlon lamented. But I heard my heart break when Paris spoke. I have a terrible headache from crying all day. May he finally, finally find peace. R.I.P MJ.
I saw part of the coverage at 10:00. I must say, the whole thing was very moving. I was a pretty big fan of MJ myself and I loved the covers of some of his #1 hits they showed. I only teared up at the ending when they were showing all the pictures and playing Never Can Say Goodbye.
I think it was on at about 3am my time - so, no, not bloody likely. In all honesty, I just wish the world would get over the fact that someone who sold a lot of records about 20 years ago - and who has made headlines for all the wrong reasons since - is deceased. If I tune in to the radio/TV and hear one more word trying to canonise someone who was a horribly flawed human being (admittedly likely due to his upbringing) I think I shall throw up. He's dead - probably because he manipulated a whole host of 'doctors' to give him the drugs he felt he needed - so - get over it. Let him rest in peace - and give me some peace from all the bloody hype.
