New song title: “Let’s exploit the children of the world”
So sad…
RIP Mike.
~ Carlos (ScoopThis.Org)
Amid this circus since Michael Jackson’s death, you forget that he had three beautiful children who have lost their father. How sad, these poor babies. He really protected them and loved them. Their lives will never be the same.
Blatent explotation of a child…exactly what they did to a young Michael. This was disgusting. Let the poor child mourn in her own privacy. I am absolutley disgusted. Everyone should be ashamed of themselves…the Jackson family, the stupid fans who put him on a pedestal and the media who feed on this like sharks. Disgusting. My prayers go to those poor children who are hostages to this sick family and society that places more value on celebrity than anything else.
God help us all…….
is that really his daughter
God Bless Michael Jackson. One day the truth will finally be known the he was innocent.
Its too bad a scumbag like that had such a nice sweet little girl. When she exits her confining, insulating and hidden world and grows up and learns the truth about her father. Disgust will come… I know it……
Wow..anyone have an extra pair of sunglasses?
Grow up. I hope they loved him as their father, entertainer be damned. Do you really think any of that matters to his children right now?
Maybe she wanted to speak and let everyone know that she thought he was a great dad.
The Jackson family has no shame – putting her up there like on display that in front of all these people when she’s been kept away from the public fairly well thus far in her lifetime. Being thrust into the public eye when the only parent you’ve know has been taken away is just wrong. I’m sure we’ll here “oh she wanted to say a few words” but I question the fact that no other adult said “wait a minute – do you really think this is the best forum for her?”
Nothing could ever top the love this child has for her father!
I hope the biological mother never has a chance to take this child from the family! What a hateful woman!
She clearly wanted to say something, and I think it was very brave of her. I’m sure she’d seen her father on stage, with a mic in hand a thousand times and it wasn’t foreign to her. I don’t think it was exploitive…I actually think it was great they let her do it. She’s not behind a mask any more and hopefully she can have a bit more of a normal life now.
She doesn’t *look* anything like Michael.
It’s sad to think that a mutilated black/white drug addict who paid millions to silence young boys is being treated like some modern day Jesus nailed to the cross. His “fans” are mostly self absorbed amoral fools who, like everything else in the world, think this is all about them. The Me Me Me generation has lost one of their heroes, but don’t worry, by sundown they will Twitter and Facebook each other so much they’ll forget Michael Jackson’s name by tomorrow.
Life imitating art imitating life. When Bill Clinton dies, will the media and world care as much? I think these things are more about us than the ones that died. I guess at least we have some humanity left, even if people die every day and some have never had as much legacy.
Very sad – but opportunity to learn from his mistakes and failings
Very sad and my heart goes out to these kids. I have to agree with iggy above. Leave these kids alone, it’s already apparent they are going to be used and exploited just as their father was in his younger years. They are hostages, absolutely. Here’s to the dream that a stable, loving family will adopt them and give them a normal life because they never will have one given the unremitting adulation and memorializing of their father and his life.
The Jackson family should be ashamed. This media circus is disgusting.
She would also assume molestation and abuse is love too if that was all she experienced. Just saying…
I teared up on this part. It’s not exploitation if the child did it on her own. They didn’t force her. It was really heartfelt. Their father is a legend.
He spent 25 years becoming White; adopted White Kids; lived in White Communities, etc., and what do the mentally ill BAs do … trot out members of the Civil Rights Poverty Pimps and Congressional Liberal Black Caucus in what can only be called “National Relevancy Day.”
What chance do these kids have for a normal life?
Every single child needs their Father.
Tear down all political and social and “judicial” systems that prevent Fathers and their children from sharing all the time they deserve together.
why do we continue to celebrate drug addicts, who molest young boys. This is
one messed up generation.
It’s sad to think that so many people can look at a complex but talented person and only see a “mutilated black/white drug addict etc…” as if that’s the only important thing about them, while totally disregarding all the positive aspects of the legacy they left behind. Such as a daughter who obviously loved her dad very much. I don’t quite understand how it is exploitative to allow a child to speak at her father’s funeral if she wishes to.
Wow. The Jackson family has become immune to how silly they all look up there on stage. Makes you want to hang your head in shame to be an American these days. I find it difficult to believe that is his daughter.
Geez, what a bunch of cynical wankers some of you people are. Clearly
the man touched (in a good way) millions of people through his music – that’s
quite a bit more reach than most of us will ever have. Why not celebrate his
life? He’s no modern day Jesus – he’s just a guy who had a big heart and
big talent. As far as the daughter, she doesn’t need to hide anymore since she
won’t be in the public eye every time she goes anywhere anymore. So you would
begrudge a young lady from speaking at her own father’s memorial? Like I said,
what a bunch of wankers – so miserable in your own lives you cannot imagine anyone
or that many people caring for you.
For all you know she may have wanted to truly come forward and let the world know her father loved here. She really did love him – RIP MJ
“Greatest entertainer of all time!” What a joke. He was an energetic chorus boy with the voice of a squeally young girl. His music was only slightly less boring than that of James Brown, the “Godfather of Sweat.”
In 1990, Jackson paid 2 million to a young boy in an out-of-court settlement. In 1993, he paid 23 million to another young boy. Jackson’s security guard testified that he saw Jackson performing oral sex on the boy. In 2005, Jackson lost a civil child molestation case and had to pay 20 million to a 3rd accuser. This funeral/memorial is really disgusting. If you listen to that irrelevant slob Al Sharpton, you’d think Jacko was the greatest thing since Christ. But let’s face it, Jackson is probably burning in hell right now.
For all you know she may have wanted to truly come forward and let the world know her father loved her. She really did love him – RIP MJ
Drugs are bad, mmmkay.
I wonder what this sweet child thought when Jamie Foxx proclaimed that Michael Jackson belonged to blacks? God bless her and her siblings.
Paris wanted to speak, the family kept asking her ‘are you sure’. She spoke from her heart, no one exploited her. Good Lord people, she just lost her Dad. The family quickly took her off they will protect her and her brothers. RIP MJ
To that little girl, he wasn’t any kind of celeb, freakshow, or “king”.
He was Daddy.
How is letting her say goodbye to her daddy “exploitation”? How will anyone make money off of that little moment?
People are too cynical. Let one of his kids say something at this massive circus of a funeral. Its their right.
Far as I can tell, Jackson used a sperm donor to conceive his children precisely because he didn’t want to run the risk of his children inheriting his talent and being exploited for it like he was. Wise move, imho.
Keep those kids away from Joe.
So when does the video come out???
mom of 2 –can you be anymore hateful. what jamie fox said is what HE said. That little girl has lost a father and she could care less that jamie fox said….mj belonged to her, he was her father and no one will EVER know him the way that SHE has.
Why do all black people wear sunglasses INSIDE?!?!? It is not bright inside! You are not cool for doing it, you look stupid.
Just hope and pray that “Grandpa” doesn’t get around ANY of those children! God bless the kids and MJ’s mom and siblings and comfort them in their sorrow. As for Old Joe, HE will undoubtedly “TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF”!
Faux tears. Shame on them for making her part of the “show” and “performing” on stage. $$$
I heard from someone today that the accuser came forward and said he is sorry he is dead because now he cannot apologize for lying on the stand. He says his father made him do it because their family needed the money.
May he rest in peace and his family be able to forgive.
Funny how that ploy of exploiting a confused kid’s emotions works on so many of you idiots on here. That kid was SOLD by her biological mother to this guy, who very likely was a serial pedophile (in that he specifically liked white boys under age 10). There is no way that “daughter” is even biologically related to him. Just look at her! Last time I checked, MJ was born BLACK and his “kids” look like they are from Sweden.
Even worse is how the black community rallies around this guy (and at first around guys like OJ too) — when MJ (like OJ) did everything he could to distance himself as far as possible from his “people”.
Humans are really easily fooled and have very short attention spans (and lack the ability to use common sense).
Most of you people are really stupid!
To all the haters. Did you watch so you could judge?
Why do you spend so much energy hating? The girl wanted
to say she loves her father. Geez, people she just
lost her dad, let her.
This man has raised and donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charities around the world. His songs have addressed about racism (”Black or White”), global warming and geological issues before they became “cool” (”Earth song”), and making positive changes in our everyday lives (”Man in the Mirror”). The song he wrote with Lionel Richie (”We Are the World”) raised over $63 Million dollars for African famine victims alone.
So to those of you judging this man based on a charge of which he was ACQUITTED on all counts… What have YOU done for this world?
PS: and for all of you praising the “Jackson Family” … smarten up. MJ’s mom and dad are essentially divorced and have been for a long time. They don’t even live in the same state! amazing how everyone just believes whatever they are told.
Shame on CNN too. Some “news” network. Larry King has been kissing Jackson ass for a week … and meanwhile there are serious events going on in the world!
Gimme a break.
Hate to admit it, but Fox News covered this story much better. I’m never watching CNN again.
I have to wonder where all Michael Jackson’s “friends” were when he was slowly killing himself?
This site attracts some very miserable and pathetic people.
Funny how most of the angry hate-mongers who post on Brietbart think of themselves as some sort of patriotic “defenders of America”, yet still throw accusations around about a man that was FOUND INNOCENT by the American judicial system and rule of law these hypocrites claim to so righteously fight for.
I am glad I am not one of these cynical, miserable people.
She was very brave, I’m sorry for her, having to feel the pain she feels now. Let this be a wake up call to drug addicted parents. Your selfishness will not come back to hurt you, but your kids after your addiction takes you from them.
Why does it matter if his kids are black or white?
Dont get what that has to do with separation from being black.
You’re reaching.
That was heartbreaking. I don’t think it was exploitation at all. She’s a little girl who never had a mother, and who misses her father, who was good to her. I feel very sorry for her and her brothers.
JOE THOMAS – You go right ahead and be “ashamed to be an American”! I will NEVER be ashamed to be an American no matter what. We live in the greatest country in the world and if you are so ashamed, move on out. Don’t let the border hit ya in the a**. :-) This is MJ’s memorial, his daughter has a right to say something whether it’s in a funeral home or on stage. Leave her alone – she wanted to tell the world her daddy was wonderful!
And to all those people noticing MJ’s kids do not “look” like him.
What rock have you lived under? In case you don’t know, many Americans
nowadays have diverse families. Newsflash! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have
Asian children. Madonna has black kids. Yeah, they don’t look like their
parents.
You’re all a bunch of A holes…the boy who accused Michael later came out saying his dad made him do it. Michael Jackson wasn’t a sick guy…he was just a man who didn’t have a childhood. Leave him alone. For those who said he paid them to silence them…well he came out and said that he lied years after receiving the money. Let’s stop talking about moral this and moral that…the service was nice and peaceful…who are you to judge someone’s legacy when you are the one sitting on your fat lazy butts and watching videos of a service for a guy you find immoral. Stop wasting your time and energy…go play in traffic.
Ashley, when Foxx made that proclamation, to thunderous applause and cheers, I immediately thought of how it would hurt Jackson’s children.
That was the worst acting I’ve ever seen.
Hey N — you are naive. For a kid to be pushed up on a stage at STAPLES CENTER vs at a private family ceremony saying those things = there is a reason her “handlers” want you (joe public) to think exactly what you just said … because if the biological mother (a total scumbag … is selling children even legal?) … if she pushes she can probably get custody because in Cali, courts always give custody to the biological mother and from that she can claim she needs all kinds of $$$$ “to maintain their lifestyle” (aka: for her to cash in even more). Try thinking about it versus just seeing an image on TV and accepting what you are told (that’s not even working in Iran anymore)
It looked like she was forced to go up there and say something. Maybe not forced, but manipulated into it. She didn’t look comfortable up there, and the family was just all over her. They are a weird bunch. Poor kids.
Whether or not the kids are related to MJ biologically, he is the one who raised them therefore he’s their dad. End of story. Adopted kids aren’t related to their adoptive parents so does that mean that they can’t love them or be upset if they die? Plus, the mother or the two older kids is white. But I think that is irrelevant anyway.

Some of you people disgust me – if a child wants to pay tribute to their father at the memorial, how DARE you pass judgement! You were not there to orchestrate anything, so you do not know that she wasn’t the one saying, “I want to say something about my father.” She is 11, not 5, and clearly wanted to be up there to say something.
Sweet children, I wish you the best in life. Sick blog commenters – get a life, and re-read these comments when your parents die, sickos.
Are those children supposed to be genetically his?
Notice that they’re WHITE kids. With all their praise for MJ’s blackness in laying claim to MJ and his accomplishments, the black community is ignoring this huge elephant in the room. MJ wanted to escape his blackness. All that surgery he had to acquire white features and skin, and then choosing white wives and kids. Explain that, black community.
And don’t give me this crap about how he loved his children. He dangled one over a balcony in Europe.
I really wish someone could explain how Jackson ever got custody of these kids? Didn’t he basically BUY them from Debbie Rowe? Wasn’t that the contract between the two of them? She would become pregnant from someone else (NOT artificially inseminated with Jackson’s sperm) and then turn over parental custody of the kids to him for a fee. That’s basically a modern version of SLAVERY. Ironic isn’t it that Jackson would be supporting something like that. Also isn’t selling kids a Felony? If a crackwhore decides to sell her children on Craig’s List for a few rocks she ends up in prison. If a multimillionaire decides he wants children (God knows why since they aren’t really his) and wants to buy someone’s then nobody bats an eye. That’s a true sign that life ISN’T fair and just cause he got away with what poor black people never could. It’s great to be a rich white guy isn’t it?
My wife passed away from breast cancer in 1990 and my sons were 7 and 3. My oldest wanted to speak..and I let him. as much as I think the tributes were WAY overdone…her moment of reality was touching and I don’t see her as being exploited. Janet could be clearly heard and seen asking the oldest if he wanted to say something and he said..no…. and that was that.
You people make me sick. He was a child molester for god sakes. GOOD RIDDANCE.
Now the children of the world will be safe.
My prayers go out to those children. May God keep them all close to his heart durning this bery difficult time.
To all those who say that they are exploiting the children. Did any of you ever think that perhaps she wanted to say this to the world. Did any of you think that perhaps she wanted everyone to know how much she loved her dad.
I sware some of you will just never learn. Never allow others to greive and express themselfes that way that they want and need too without all your nasty words. So sad.
God bless those child and the Jackson family, I pray that the children heal quickly and remain with the family that they know and love and not to a woman they don’t.
God Bless.
That she was allowed to speak her heart to the world, and that she had the guts to speak her heart to the world is huge. Good for her. No one exploited her. They respected her. For that I am grateful. For her words and her courage, I am grateful.
Could all the Jackson apologists explain one thing. The first boys who accused Jackson described Jackson’s genitals to the police. Because of his vitaligo – it often affects the pigment on the extremities – the boy described the size and distinctive shading on Jackson’s “parts.” A judge ordered Jackson to be photographed and the police photos matched up with the boy’s description. How does a young boy accurately describe a grown man’s genitals – distinctive shading and markings – unless he’s seen them. Jackson settled out of court shortly after the pictures were compared. Your hero was a pervert, and all you amoral idiots seem to think singing and dancing washes away those sins. Your as sick as he was.
I don’t think much of the life Michael Jackson lived or his indulgences and selfish excesses, but I can see a little girl with a broken heart and that makes me cry.
Why americans have this obsession for celebrities.The country is i recession and
you care about celebrities! minorities are worse they care about other people
business(blacks and latinos)
That is the creepiest thing I’ve seen all year. Possibly all decade. Not the little girl so much, but the flock of vultures all around her.
Jen has clearly never been to another country (or beyond her trailer park).
What a BS circus…
there are some really ignorant comments here. It’s what is wrong with the world
today, really. Please try to have some empathy.
“There was a time when I was young and free
the air was fresh and sunlight didn’t burn
There was a time when love seemed everywhere
and when I said I love you I knew it couldn’t be taken away
And time can wither and time can fade
emotions and goodness and feelings of worth and love
But now I see that love is still everywhere and that
it never leaves
it never fades
and it was around all the time”
Thank you Mike. You were the first person I ever thought was “cool”.
Your heart and example of care and compassion should be
held high forever for all to see. Thanks alot. I love you more.

It took a lot of guts for that little girl to take the mic and say those words.
The world lost an entertainer, but three kids lost their father.
Watching Paris broke my heart.
Hey N — does the “N” stand for naive??
For a kid to be pushed up on a stage at STAPLES CENTER spectacle (which was NOT the funeral) vs at a private family ceremony saying those things = there is a reason her “handlers” want you (joe public) to think exactly what you just said … because if the biological mother (a total scumbag … is selling children even legal?) … if she pushes she can probably get custody because in Cali, courts always give custody to the biological mother and from that she can claim she needs all kinds of $$$$ “to maintain their lifestyle” (aka: for her to cash in even more).

The reason the kids do not look like him is because they are not from
his sperm. He used a white man’s sperm that was artificially inseminated
and implated into his white wife. Biologically does not belong to either
of them and won’t look like either of them.
I can not believe some of the hateful, awful things people have posted on here. Granted everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but it is just awful some of the things said on here which have no relevence to the fact that a Pop Legend who has been in the public eye since a very young age and has entertained us all to some degree has passed away. Who cares whether the children look like him or not! They’ve grown to know him as their father and are now grieving his loss. As far as paying millions to quiet some young boys…..I am a mother of a 13yr old and NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE WORLD COULD SILENCE ME IF I THOUGHT MY CHILD WAS HURT IN ANYWAY! MY ONLY REVENGE WOULD BE ADMITTED WHAT WAS DONE. No charges were ever placed on Michael Jackson. His is and always will be a great artist! I will remember the good he has done in his lifetime and I actually feel sorry that his talents pretended him from a childhood and a life beyond the spotlight. RIP Michael Jackson….you will always been remembered as you should!
It’s interesting they chose the girl to speak and not either of the two boys. Maybe they were afraid what his sons would have said.
BTW, did anyone notice one of the Jackson freaks putting her hand over the little girls mouth as she was speaking?
I wonder why that happened.
I only watched a few minutes – work and all but the ceremony was quite “nice” I guess for a memorial. Let’s all be human, remembering that all of us are flawed, and let the family get over the death of a loved one as they see fit. I am sure that only reason it was on tv was because the clamoring public, obsessed by fame demanded it and wouldn’t be denied. Perhaps his daughter wanted to get up in front of an audience perhaps not but in either case, she was courageous enough to do so, good for her. Let here cry until her tears flow no more. It’s part of the process.
We will never all agree about the character of the man, that much is clear. Lets all understand, he wasn’t perfect, and neither are we. Get over the differences and quit bashing on a family and a person who are not in a position to defend themselves against those who only know what they read or saw on tv or in the tabloids. Judging other people isn’t the job of anyone here period. Judge your own life as harshly and you may rest easy or not on base on the verdict.
Let MJ rest in peace. That’s the only thing left to do.
She is such a beautiful little girl, along with her two brothers. It will take a long time for her to get through this, she’ll never get over it. God Bless her and her brothers. May they find happiness in their futures.

mmmm they never claimed to have given birth to them – do the math you mindless Obama type…
My Grandchild was not exploited today!
she wanted to do this… Did I mention my blueray record label? Has anybody found my moustache pencil?
What do you mean you want us to help with cost, I have no money, I just launched a record label, blueray did I mention that.
No! I will not wear that ungrateful fools white glove.
Has it occurred to any of the cynics and haters out there..that perhaps Paris wanted to speak on behalf of her father? I can’t imagine any funeral where adults would encourage a young child to speak against their will, national spotlite or not. They were obviously there to support and protect her..not to goad her. Wasn’t that obvious? I mean..what are the Jacksons to do? They held a public service because there was such a great demand for one. Well something that big has to have some orchestration. These are public performers by trade. They also have their private services you are not invited to participate in..that will be extremely personal for them. I don’t see why this is so terrible. So easy to cast stones isn’t it? You may not approve of MJ..his eccentric lifestyle..you may believe he is guilty although never convicted. But allow his family some peace. They have to live and deal with this long after you have moved on to another “hot” topic to allow yourself to feel morally superior.
It figures that attention whores Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were a part of it. Where was Gloria Allred, was she there? That would have made the circus complete. But shame on me, I’m sure these three were always by Michael’s side throughout the past 15 years and all his difficulties, right?
The kid lost her father. Have some compassion you bunch of lowlifes.
Michael was a human! Just like any of us that has FAMILY, whether biological, adopted, or by friendship, people are entitled to MOURN! Shame on you judgemental people. Regardless of what we all have done IN THIS LIFE, we, including Michael will answer to God for our deeds. God bless those children and that entire family.
Wow, the level of hatred some of you have for someone who you didn’t even know except through the media is amazing. I’m not a big fan of MJ but my kids listen to his music and it’s all about healing the world and love and all that stuff. I don’t know how many of the things that he was accused of he actually did, although I tend to believe in innocence unless proven guilty, but I personally think all you hateful people are so twisted that you can’t even see through your hate to see a little girl who is heartbroken because she loved her dad and now she’ll never get a chance to see him again and tell him she loves him. But go on and wallow in your hate if that’s what gives you pleasure. I’m sure you’re very morally superior to all the rest of us.
clandross (paraphrase)
I can’t imagine any funeral… – therefore it can’t be – see liberal logic based on hard facts
No charges were ever placed on Michael Jackson –
other than those that were (being acquited is another thing)
His eccentric lifestyle – because it’s a lifestyle choice, or a disease,
or society’s fault or something
the presence of more morals makes one morally superior by definition – ubless you’re referring to that leftist talent of defining your own morals as you go…
I expect the child wanted to say – I loved my Daddy. Let that family alone for at least one day.
No matter what you thought of Michael Jackson he has a beautiful little daughter that no longer has a Father. She is only 11 years old and to be made part of this celebration was not necessary. If you listen to the unedited version you will hear a female family member say “speak up!” because the child was speaking in a low voice. How sad. Thank God the Grandmother has the children and it’s not good ole’ Joe Jackson!
MJ_Norway,
Boy did you say it like it is. Alot of good posts here for just what this is, and the commentary of why this even comes close to an equivalent death of Christ, speaks volumes of why we, as a pop world culture, are in no way healthy, mental or otherwise. At least for Mr. Jackson, who’s life and childhood ended long ago, his demons are behind him. Unfortunately, for his surviving adopted children, it is only beginning. How any of them can hope to go on and live a normal life, is out of the question, unless they were to be put in witness protection and their identities erased from the rest of the world. Otherwise, their lives will forever be marred by this very troubled human being, assuming they were never molested, which is a stretch at this point.
The daughter’s moment was THE most genuine and heartfelt of the entire event.
And to address those who are convinced Michael is a child molester,
there was a full trial and an acquittal, and if one wants to talk about expolitation of minors, just revisit both the accusers’ stories and note that the entire case was created for extortion being directed at Michael, by the parents, through pressured coaxing of their ‘victim’ kids.
The truth will eventualy come out, and exonerate this amazingly pure and childlike man.
The world needs more innocence and benevolance as the likes of Mivhael Jackson, may he RIP.
man, that’s the saddest thing.
or the rightist talent of insufferable self righteousness…
As a student of music history, I am confident that in 200 years people will be studying Michael Jackson the way that we study Beethoven today. He is without question the greatest contributor to world culture that the United States of America has ever produced and he is truly immortal.
There should be more attention given in the media to the CONSEQUENCES OF CHILD ABUSE and HOW IT TWISTS A CHILD WHO LATER GROWS INTO AN ADULT WHO IS VERY TORMENTED AND SEEMINGLY BIZARRE.
Hardly anything’s been said about the abuses M.J. suffered–at least NOT ENOUGH, given all the constant media coverage. The whole world needs to REALIZE the DEVASTATION that child abuse causes.
R.I.P. M.J.

sry about that double post…
Amoral- lacking a moral sense; unconcerned with the rightness or wrongness of something.
Michael Jackson apologist = amoral
Mike C.:
I heard Hitler was a great dancer, and Ted Bundy could sing well
Ok, so MJ wasn’t loved by everyone. But his daughter wanted to say something about her father at HIS memorial. All of you haters have no room to judge, it just makes you look like hypocrites and fools.
Give it a rest and maybe the news will now be about more pressing matters rather than MJ and his drug issues. Thanks.
Finally….The circus is over with!! I’m NOT even going to get into Jackson’s “Lifestyle”, suffice to say that these 3 children were obviously ‘Conceived’ from a white sperm donor, to be a better fit for this “Obsession” he had in trying to be & look white!! Go figure!! Jackson himself was a *Drug Addicted Wacko* who lived in the ‘TWILIGHT ZONE’….I’m sure there is going to be an awful lot of very twisted crap, that is now going to be exposed about this whole circus!! I expect people to go to prison over all these illegal drugs!!!
Anyone who isn’t touched by that sweet little girl’s sad words has no heart. Mean-spirited people shows themselves very clearly in comment sections like this.
The most outstanding tribute of the day.
Some selfproclaimed idiot wrote:

Like I said what rock have you lived under? Mindless Obama type?
That’s what you can come up with? Geez!
Is it wrong for me to wonder if his children were victums as well….
Who Cares:
Don’t you think equating Michael Jackson with Hitler and Ted Bundy is way over the top? Last I heard MJ had never been accused of murdering any women or of starting the most destructive war of all time. And as to the molestation charges, some were dropped, and he was acquitted on the others. We all know what happened. Some choose to believe that he was guilty even though he was acquitted, and some choose to believe that the accusations were brought by people seeking financial gain. Just because I don’t agree with your take on the facts doesn’t make me or anyone else amoral. I’m just giving him the benefit of the doubt. I’m willing to accept that I may be wrong, but I have a suspicion that nothing could possibly change your mind on the issue, even if the accusers called a press conference and admitted to lying.
NotAFan…….oh pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeee
this man was a sick as they come. WHO in there right mind GIVES a child or the family of the child $21 MILLION just for accusing him of lewd acts?
yeah right.
he was as over the top as the come.
pee wee herman should have been a pallbearer…….along with Boy George
Could all the Jackson apologists explain one thing. The first boys who accused Jackson described Jackson’s genitals to the police. Because of his <<<>>>
Good riddance I totally agree…….gee people wake the F*** UP how would a child know this?
It killed me today to hear some of the euglogies about how “The Lord” took Michael away. NO The Lord did not take Michael before his time……Michael and his bizarre fascination with DRUGS decided to CHECK OUT. In my book that is called Suicide.
A nutcase – drug addicted peophile. End of story.
wackojacko
Geez, 5 minutes of research gives me this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_child_sexual_abuse_accusations_against_Michael_Jackson
The search report concluded that there were some strong similarities between Chandler’s description and Jackson’s body, but there wasn’t a definite match. Included in the inconsistencies was an inaccurate claim of circumcision.
don’t you just love this family?
how could they sensationalize this poor little girl the way they did, in her hour of need.
These people will do anything possible to spin a story.
It sickens me that they would use this girl and the rest of the kids for their benefit.
despicable lowlifes
Goodwill, through entertainment, is a Great USA export.
What we can’t win with a bullet,
we have won through hearts and minds via precisely what the Jackson family produced.
Switzerland and France don’t have Jacksons. The USA does.
So many people around the World have been touched and united by their music. All know this came from the USA.
The Jackson family is a true USA deliverable… and the World knows it.
We owe the Jacksons, and Michael, for their service to the United States.
I’m a total conservative who never liked the music… but was impressed by the hard work and sacrifices this family made. They’re very important, in the big picture.
They deserve our thanks for all their suffering, hard work and service to our Nation’s Brand.
Wackojacko…you seem to be unaware that in the United States people are innocent until proven guilty. No matter how much hate you can spew, there is no changing the facts that his contributions to charity were on an unprecedented scale, and that his body of work is one of the greatest ever brought together by one man. His music and his dance style have permanently affected both of those art forms, and his influence will extend for decades, maybe even centuries.
There was no exploitation. And it doesn’t matter if you liked him or not. She is a little girl who just lost her daddy. She is grieving. Bless her.
“Maybe she wanted to speak and let everyone know that she thought he was a great dad.”
Yes, that’s how it went down. She wasn’t exploited into it, she wasn’t forced into it – they said right before she spoke that she wanted to say something. Her comments were very touching, and my heart cries for those babies – and for MJ as well. He was misunderstood, lied about, and mistreated terribly; perhaps now he is finally at peace, but I miss him and am sorry I ever bought into the media slams against him over the years.
“The first boys who accused Jackson described Jackson’s genitals to the police. Because of his <<>>”
Actually, the physical inspection of his body disproved the boy’s claims. The boy stated that Jackson was circumcised – and he isn’t.
Could all the Jackson apologists explain one thing. The first boy who accused Jackson described Jackson’s genitals to the police. Because of his vitaligo – it often affects the pigment on the extremities – the boy described the size and distinctive shading on Jackson’s “parts.” A judge ordered Jackson to be photographed and the police photos matched up with the boy’s description. How does a young boy accurately describe a grown man’s genitals – distinctive shading and markings – unless he’s seen them. Jackson settled out of court shortly after the pictures were compared. Your hero was a pervert, and all you amoral idiots seem to think singing and dancing washes away those sins. Your as sick as he was.
I’M STILL WAITING
Wackojacko: You’re an idiot. If the boy did in fact see his penis, it was probably in a restroom. Do guys do that where you live? Pee next to each other? I never thought for a second that MJ did anything inappropriate with children. He was nothing more than a target to the accusers. What parent would settle for millions of dollar when their kid was molested? As a parent I would either kill them, or have them thrown in jail for the rest of their life. Also, what parent would allow their child to have a sleepover at a man’s house? Someone who really doesn’t give a flying shit about their kid. The truth is already out that one of the kids lied because his father wanted him to. Do your research. The second family that cried molestation were criminals themselves. They were caught shoplifting, and sued JC Penney for THOUSANDS. Wow…classy, trustworthy bunch.
fishnabarrel
look idiot..I never said any of the things you are “paraphrasing”. Try reading my post again. I am not a liberal. If you google..most of my comments are extremely conservative. Some of what I said would be rhetorical in nature. I don’t think the child was put up as a cheap trick on behalf of MJ..his other kids could have spoken and did not. I have been to funerals where most kids do not speak..but occasionally some will, and they should have that right. Your viewpoint is callous, and uncaring, you revel in your small mindedness and give conservatives a bad name. Get a life and show some compassion for a grieving family you lonely moron..and stop putting imagined words in other peoples mouths to win an imaginary mission.
“He spent 25 years becoming White;”
There are so many ignorant people here – this comment is but another reflection of such. He had VITILIGO – a skin disorder that destroyed pigment in the skin. If you really want to learn something, do some digging for information on his condition – check out youtube, where there are various pictures of what it looked like on him, and where his makeup artist explained how they tried for so long to cover it up. Of course, you’ll probably just continue to think what you want instead of trying to find out otherwise.
I’ll bet that she WANTED to speak, and that we’ll be hearing more from the courageous Paris.
“A judge ordered Jackson to be photographed and the police photos matched up with the boy’s description. ”
Actually – no, they didn’t.
==========
“I’M STILL WAITING”
You’re wanting people to do the info digging for you; if you REALLY want to know look this stuff up for yourself. I used to be highly suspicious of him, too – until I looked past the sensational headlines and slanted media coverage and discovered a far different story.
She’s no more his daughter than she is mine. Talk about a freak show, starring Al “the bigot” Sharpton and Jessie “the racist” Jackson. What useless individuals. Detriments to society.
The world is better off without this pedophile.
good riddens:
Seeing as a previous post I made on this subject is “awaiting moderation” I will repeat what 5 minutes of looking for the info found:
“The search report concluded that there were some strong similarities between Chandler’s description and Jackson’s body, but there wasn’t a definite match. Included in the inconsistencies was an inaccurate claim of c**cumcision.” Not exactly what you claimed, is it?
“The world is better off without this pedophile.”
The world is better off without people who don’t know more complete information and still resort to small-minded comments such as above.
Isn’t wearing DARK Sunglasses inside is a Black Muslim thing…
Isn’t wearing DARK Sunglasses inside a Black Muslim thing…
The child is not his biological child and there is a special place in hell for a mother who would give away her children to a known pedophile(suspected)/ freak(proven) for cash.
Hey, did you ever think maybe the sunglasses were to hide the tears?
I hope someone will cry for me.
Michael Jackson’s legacy was that saw people..all people…with his
heart. He was a LOT of things, but he wasn’t a racist.
I think his family are racists..they used this memorial..and his daughter
to support their “cause” or their own agenda.
It seemed to me that his children looked darker..their hair looked darker
than in other just released pictures. Will they be denied their heritage
for the Jackson clan “agenda”?
Michael Jackson spent a life time bridging the gap, and his stupid family
is working feverishly to undo it. So sorry, Michael.

HELLO FROM NANTUCKET!
Just back from Windsurfing.
Do you know who I am?
I LOVED HIM!
We first met at STUDIO 54 in NYC, when I was 10.
My CNN production crew, will miss him too – http://www.CREWCLUB.net
Why is it that when Drudge links to anything we get vitriol nasty people? Oh ya, republicans!! simple minded and nasty! go away now, the internet is for smart people.
Wow. I really feel sorry for those poor children. Can you imagine, being taken from your home one day, told your one and only Parent is dead, never to return again to your home either. It is a horrible ripping away thing on the inside of them. Especially, I believe, for the little girl. And what a sweetheart she is, too. I also understand that, horribly, the eldest Son actually saw his Father collapse, and then watched the whole time while they tried to revive him. I don’t care so much about Micheal as I feel for those children. Let’s all keep them in our prayers, shall we?
NotAFanBut
Go to the Vanity Fair website and read the articles by Maureen Orth. Also, it’s difficult to tell if someone is circumcised when they have an erection, and you have a limited knowledge of what men’s junk looks like. But he got enough right to show he was not guessing. If the boy was so wrong, why didn’t Jackson go to court and show the world the lack of evidence. No, he handed over the money because he knew his a** was cooked. I’ll give you this, your the most literate child molester protecter posting here. Congratulations
Is this over yet? PLEASE STOP THE MJ coverage NOW!!!!
Innocent?? When a minor child can describe to the court what kind of marks are on Micheal Jackson private parts (penis)..and then they make a settlement, 15.5 million dollars. that Million with a captial “M”…well there is no such thing as “INNOCENT” Sorry the truth hurts!! I enjoyed his music, but he had problems. Thank Mr. Joe Jackson for that!!
I may not be the biggest Michael Jackson fan, but some of the comments at this time are downright disgusting. These kids lost their Dad. He may have been strange, he may not have been the biological one, but to them he was their dad and that’s all that counts. Anyone who is going to spout venom should place some judgement on themselves because just about everyone has a skeleton or two in their closet and it’s the ones who yell the loudest who usually end up being guilty the most.
enoughalready:
What I don’t understand about people like you is your seeming inability to accept that the facts as stated don’t necessarily lead to the conclusion you have drawn. They may – and they may not. Neither you nor I have any definitive knowledge as to whether he is innocent or guilty of the child molestation charges. Yet my pointing that out makes me a “child molester protector.” That’s funny seeing as you know nothing about me other than the few posts I have made here. You are sure you are right about Michael Jackson being a pedophile, while I’m only saying I don’t know, but I seriously doubt it. I suppose that makes me an amoral and reprehensible child molester protector to you. But at least you think I’m literate.
As long as those on here who condemn M. Jackson do the same to Charlie Chaplin, Elvis and Ted Nugent (who is frequently featured on Fox News), who all had sexual realtions with people underage, then you are consistent in your views. If not, dont be a hypocrite.
I cannot help but notice, in the picture on Drudge, how dark skinned these children appear! Before today we
were seeing pictures and videos of Michael with these children and they were blond with light skin. I could not
really care about their color except for the fact that this family is going to ruin these children as they did
Michael. May Michael rest in peace and may his children escape the trauma of being raised by this family!
“Why do all black people wear sunglasses INSIDE?!?!? It is not bright inside! You are not cool for doing it, you look stupid.”
Wait … Jack Nicholson is black??!! And a Black Muslim to boot?!?! It’s incredible what one learns reading the erudite and informative comments on this blog.
Here’s my contribution: MJ was the legal father of both children born during his marriage to their mother as per California law: any offspring born during a lawful marriage are the legal children of the husband in that marriage irrespective of whether they are biologically his. If you don’t believe me, just ask billionaire Kirk Kerkorian who is paying $120,000.00+ child support for his daughter, born during his marriage to her mother, although it has been proven via DNA testing that she is biologically the daughter of (other) billionaire Steve Bing.
As sarcastic as I have been over the media coverage, I would have to say how sorry I am for his kids. No father and now a fight for custody brewing. How very sad.
enoughalready:
I’m reading the Vanity Fair articles right now and so far this quote stands out:
“A case such as this one, consisting of one person’s word against another’s, with no apparent physical evidence, would be difficult to prove without corroboration.”
Well, gee, now I’m convinced!
The bright side is that she still has a real mother and father to console her.
Oh and Jamie? YOU CAN KEEP HIM.
Al Sharpton is a real piece of garbage.
This is disgusting. This man was a pedophile. He paid off some of the accusers. If you are innocent….you don’t pay people off. Remember carrying the baby out to the balcony and leaning over with him/her? There is good common sense there. This man was not a role model for todays’s kids….notice I didn’t use the word “youths”. This man had a home called neverland….I mean, come on! There some real personality conflict going on there. Besides having children stay over and in his bed…..wake up you gullible fans. This is no role model!
This was important for her to say. She did not look forced, but encouraged, and for good reason. The fact that he was a father, and loved, humanizes him to a lot of people who want to hate him for accusations made.
Yeah he was really creepy, definately had serious issues, and made really stupid decisions in his life, but he was a man whose message was love. He obviously practiced what he preached in how he raised his kids who loved him back.
“If you are innocent….you don’t pay people off. ”
Actually, that’s not quite correct – sometimes it’s easier to pay off a problem than have your life dragged through hell for months on end. At any rate it was his insurance company that offered the settlement – Jackson’s legal team didn’t necessarily want to settle.
On the flip side – if your son was truly molested, you don’t demand a CASH settlement.
The thing I don’t get is, why did several of the speakers say that “God took Michael”? Is it God’s fault that Michael stuffed himself with drugs to the point that he killed himself?
I wonder if Paris will be able to find her biological father. I’d think that when she gets older, she’ll get curious who it is.
Typical exploiting children by the Jackson’s. And please they aren’t HIS kids. I hope their REAL father comes forward.
Turn the sound off and watch it again… you will be amazed and shocked. It’s a petting zoo.
There is a very, very special place in hell for the Jackson Family Trolls for exploiting these kids. I”m sure his children loved him but no small child should be in this situation. Just like no child should be in the bed of an adult man. MJ pushed away those who set boundaries and all he had left were the freaks and weardos like the folks who have been obsessing for 2 weeks about this. The people who would say: ‘oh it’s okay Michael just take some of these’ and so on. Not only does this sad moment reflect poorly on the family but far more the United States and its continued obsession with celebrity no matter what the behavior is. I sincerely hope that, ultimately, the children go to decent people (not the horse racing baby-carrier or the Jackson Trolls)who can nurture them and teach them right from wrong. Creeps.
To the person that wrote: “I hope the biological mother never has a chance to take this child from the family! What a hateful woman!”
You are sick! You want to see hate? Look in the mirror…

“I sincerely hope that, ultimately, the children go to decent people (not the horse racing baby-carrier or the Jackson Trolls)who can nurture them and teach them right from wrong”
Right, because the best thing you can do for these kids is rip them away from the only family they’ve ever known and give them to some strangers. I’m sure that will have an amazingly positive outcome.
Oh My God!!!! I just read the comment about the petting zoo and watched w/o sound. Its true….it is a petting zoo and those dirty b*st*rd Jacksons planned this moment. What a horrible family. Pedophiles, exploiters, media whores and abusers. Enjoy your demons Jacksons because your gravy train is over.

Over the track record of the Jackson family who from Joe down is known for, at minimum, bizzare behavior…..and most, abuse? Yes, a loving family who wants to take care and nuture children is better. I would not keep any abuser with children when very healthy alternatives are there. It’s people like you who allow abuse to continue because of someone’s place in life. Sicko
Mere distractions for the sheeple while the Democrat Stalinists reshape and destroy this once great nation.
To NJ_Norway:
Your comments, however irrelevant, were tolerable until that swipe at Jen.
If Jen is trailer trash, she is our trailer trash. Your ignorant, mean-spirited comment about her never traveling is without merit.
First, people in America do not have to travel out of the USA to experience multiculturalism. Norway, on the other hand, is a white-only icebox of Scandinavians. You HAVE no choice but to travel to learn about people. In the mighty USA, one can experience more cultures, more climates, more geography that YOU will ever experience in your little cocoon of a “life”. Clearly, your “travels” have not enlightened you, nor made you a “better” (albeit “bitter”) person. I have been to your country, and you are not representative of my Norwegian friends.
If you conclude the MJ Memorial was trite, then answer for everyone reading this site, “Why did you not just turn it off”?
Nevertheless, your comments are welcome. It is what “Americans”, about whom you know nothing, died for. When your candy-ass was praising the Fuhrer, and you were in bondage because you rather shoot ignorant one-liners than fight for your freedom of speech, it was the “trailer trash” that were fighting YOUR war, you stupid SOB.
Don’t ever come to the USA: you and your kind are not welcome.
Now, go fu*k yourself with lutefisk.
What? I’m sure she could have said those words at her dad’s grave site. Why do that to her on national TV? Why? So they could use her grief to gloss over the fact that her daddy was the “Pedophile of Pop” and try and change people’s mind of THAT fact! It did not work–I have even more disgust for the Jackson family.
Joe Jackson also needs propped up on a curb with a tin cup in his hands to pay for all the security that the city of LA had to pay today too. What a farce!
Obama’s making deals with the Ruskies, commie to commie. Now the Pope is on Obama’s team calling for redistribution of wealth. This could really be the endtime!
StL: Wow. I wasn’t aware that the WHOLE Jackson family were a bunch of child abusers. But since you’re such an expert on family relationships between people you don’t even know, maybe the state of California should start consulting you for advice on all their outstanding child custody cases.
What are they gonna do with his body? they can’t bury him since he won’t fully decompose and they can’t cremate
him either because plastic is toxic.
I have to agree with IGGY…it was shameful that MJ’s daughter was permitted to share her grief so publicly.
MJ must be spinning in his coffin…he went ot great lenghts to sheild his children from the prying glare of the spotlight and tried hard and rather successfully to perserve their innocence. MJ’s biggest complaint in life was the loss of his own childhood…allowing that child to share the pain of her greif so publicly was a bad call on the part of the Jackson family. Yes, the child needs to express her feelings but to do so in that forum just seems wrong. Yes of course, allow the girl to grieve ..but privately and in the protected arms of her loved ones….let her be comforted by the love of her family not the public or the meida. Consider this…the clip of her tearful good-bye will be replayed for the REST of her life…over and over and over again….I hope the Jackson’s just made a poor choice out born out fo their own of grief and that these children and not going to seen plastered on every supermarket tabloid from now on…Our need to know is not as great as their (the children’s) need to grow up protected and secure.
On another note, the memorial was nice…although the crowd inside were sometimes rude with their chants…it was a memorial not a concert! Also, to use MJ’s memorial as a platform to voice support over who the children should be with was also a bit tastless….it’s a legal matter between the familes…the court of public opinion should not be playing a role in that decision…..When are we (soceity) ever going to learn???
sad. very sad.

More than we can say for 99% of the politicians and ‘geniuses’ on this planet.
He deserves all the honoring he gets.

I hate to say it, but his kids are probably better off with him dead. They now have a better shot at being sort of normal. Although, I think nobody can argue he bought “his” kids and messed them up for life because of it. I just pray they don’t grow up to be half as screwed up as he was. Their only hurdle now is that they escape the side show freaks that the Jackson family has become.
Good news, the older kids dad is a doctor and their mother is a nurse. Bad news, the blood sucking hangers-on/enablers will take the kids to the cleaners financially. I loved the Jackson vermin pushing, grabbing and hugging the nice little kid to prove that they loved her the most. Bet prior to heading to probate Janet and the slugs didn’t have the time of day for the three white kids.
“BTW, did anyone notice one of the Jackson freaks putting her hand over the little girls mouth as she was speaking? ”
They were helping to adjust her microphone, not putting their hand over her mouth.
“I hate to say it, but his kids are probably better off with him dead. They now have a better shot at being sort of normal.

You probably don’t hate to say what you just said – many people are acting like raving wolves when it comes to MJ. And by all accounts, his children are perfectly normal, not “freaks”. He kept them sheltered from the vultures outside – and with good reason.
if you cannot see how staged that was, I can I am used to seeing actors, and rehearsals, and that kind of thing. when she first starts and pauses, look how many people , are right there, to push the microphone closer to her face, and to IMMEDIATELY SAY , SPEAK UP !!! audibly , at least 2 people, immediately, and i mean, before her next breath, tell her to speak up. then supposedly when she starts crying, she puts her head down, turns away from the cam, and lights. This was rehearsed, folks.
Jackson had a very poor reputation in life, and now the family is determined to rewrite it in death. Doing so enhances their own prestige (and profit potential) down the line. Whomever put that grieving child on stage in front of the world to promote their own selfish aims should be ashamed. I rather doubt that is the case, however.
I’m cracking up at the ” petting” zoo comment. LMAO!
MJ is as whacky and guilty as they come. He’s burning in hell as I type too! NO ONE who is innocent pays out 20 million bucks to a kid who claims MJ molested him UNLESS they are guilty. I’d drop every cent I had into proving I was innocent. MJ and R. Kelly ARE the “Pedophiles of Pop”!
She was a beautiful child saying goodbye.
The guy was a brilliant entertainer with a genius for marketing.
Most of his ‘weirdness’ was nothing more than PT Barnum like showmanship; but listen to the tracks and look at the moves. And listen to the great artists who worked with him and then go on to talk about his creativity and gentleness. And hard work.
The guy delivered big time in so many ways, not the least of which was to be a good daddy to his little girl.
Another thought . Here is a good reason why there should always be Mothers & Fathers, that they should stay together. That it isn’t “cool” for women to go and get pregnant outside of Marriage. Just look at these poor innocent children now, they don’t even have a Mother to comfort them for the loss of their Father.
Then I thought about this~~ how about all those test tube babies out there who are going to grow up and wonder where they came from? God made Marriage for good reasons!
Pray for his children!
MJ_Noway: “There is no way that “daughter” is even biologically related to him. Just look at her! Last time I checked, MJ was born BLACK and his “kids” look like they are from Sweden.”
Are you kidding me ? Does it matter if she is “biologically related” to him ? He was her daddy !! Have you never known anyone to adopt children ? Are you aware that many children don’t “look like” their parents, adopted or biological ? Have you never heard of surrogacy ? Have you never seen children of an interracial couple ?
You know, there seems to be an unending supply of people in the world to whom nothing is ever what it seems to be. If you can’t believe that a little girl would be upset and crying over her dad dying then you are so cynical that nothing anyone could say to you would make a difference. But I’ll try one last time: You realize that this is a family of performers, right? All of whom are presumably quite familiar with microphones. If Paris was not used to speaking into a microphone to a crowd of thousands, then it would be only natural for any or all of her family to try to help her out. As for the crying being fake, it certainly didn’t look that way to me. That moment was for me the one that seemed most genuine and unrehearsed. But then I’m not claiming to be an expert.
who ever commented about the boy who described his genitals to the prosecutors and was accurate…you might want to read up, the doctors saw strong similarities but was still inconclusive…sheesh people…Here in America, you’re innocent until proven guilty. The petting zoo comment was funny though lol.
And to FarSide…awesome burn on that ignorant Norweigan…I like how Europeans criticize America so much…we all have our problems
R.I.P. Jacko
To all the negative ppl who have posted their angry comments about MJ and the allegations of sexual molestation…
If you recall, he was found NOT Guilty in a court of law !! That’s how we do it in the “Free” world, remember !
For just a minute, think about how you would feel if the same thing happened to you : You – Accused of a crime, charged, arrested, had your “day” in court, were found/judged to be “Not Guilty” but yet for years, you continued to be accused of being Guilty and Judged and ridiculed by many many ppl
who were not in court to HEAR all the EVIDENCE and the ppl who refused to accept the
courts judgement/verdict !!!
And furthermore, regarding the $$$ settlement he paid to his accusers family’s…hmmmm, if my child was actually molested/abused, I wouldn’t accept any amount of money to simply walk away and keep quiet. Makes you wonder ? I hope so.
For all the ppl who want to judge MJ…remember what the Bible says, “Judge not,
lest ye be Judged”.
Whatever wrong he did in his life, is between him and God alone. Same as you and me.
RIP MJ and prayers for your 3 sweet children who have lost their daddy.
Hi! This is Blanket Jackson.I’ve been able to sleep better since daddy is gone;I was getting tired of being his personal blanket. I’m sure I’ll be a nutjob since I watched MANY people inject ole pops with all sorts of needles too. Was daddy some sort of famous pin cushion or something?
Who names their kid “Blanket”? Yep, I think someone dropped MJ on his head one too many times!
He could sing and dance and write big checks to pay off abuse victims. So what?
When someone dies, it is always the time for respect. Michael Jackson was loved by many, the world over. He did things that was weird and he was accused of doing other things, but in the end, if you admit it, or not, we all tapped our toes to the beats of his music at one time or other. For all you haters out there, we all have to die sometime. Maybe you will die easy, maybe you will die slow and painful. Remember, what goes around will come around. Be respectful and quit trying to shock everyone with your hate. It’s not shocking anymore. It’s getting old and boring.
Maybe this has been said already but it definitely seemed like that was staged and the tears seemed fake.
Gee, IF he was soooo loved where were all the CROWDS of people that LA was expecting? I’m 100% certain that they all did NOT find jobs. Today is the 7th , right? You’d think it was the first of the month…or something…lol
Just a quick comment to those that are claiming they exploited her by making her say something. It seemed to me none of them actually expected her to do it, I remember hearing Janet say “Paris wants to say something” and then a pack of Jacksons that have been performing on stage for decades were all scrambling and struggling to adjust a mic stand so she could talk. I don’t think anyone expected her to say anything and she asked to.
Who the hell said the kids shouldn’t grieve? All you idiot MJ worshippers seem to think that those of “us” who think this poor child was exploited are saying she “shouldn’t” be allowed to grieve, or we think she’s not going to miss her “father”. Of course she should be allowed to grieve……IN PRIVATE. It is EXPLOITATION of her, period. They are going to milk this till the cash cow is bursting…just you watch. The issue isn’t that the kids shouldn’t or won’t miss this man they called “daddy”….it’s that the shameless Jackson clan that ALLOWED a young Michael to be exploited, get screwed up and probably molested himself, are now on the the same journey with these poor kids. I feel VERY sorry for these children.
And, the bottom line is this: MJ’s MO was young white boys…..she (the daughter) probably has a very different relationship with him than the two boys, who both looked like deer in headlights. But, then again, I must just be a “hater” cause I’m not bowing with the Church of MJ idiots. He should have never been allowed to buy those kids, and the woman who gave birth to them should be set out to pasture, as well.
I think this whole “spectacle” is just an embarrassing indictment on the celebrity saturated Americans who think it’s ok to justify this odd man’s lifestyle. Does being a (supposed) musical genius give you the right to get away with “things”? It would appear so with many fools on this comment board. But I would also bet you all think OJ was innocent just because a (stupid) jury found him not guilty. Whatever.
I have no doubt the Jackson’s will find some way to financially benefit from this tragedy they call Michael. I mourn the loss of the little boy he was never allowed to be. Not the perverted, sick, mentally retarded man he became.
I see everyone is so judgmental. Who is perfect? You judge MJ. You judge the family. You judge the little girl. Are any of you perfect?
FYI: The 2 older kids were conceived by artificial insemination. MJ’s skin doctor provided the sperm and it it injected into Debbie Rowe. The babies were born and MJ adopted them as his own. The third kid is a mystery.
Michael Jackson wrote some excellent music and was a world class performer. We only know what the media spins to us. He may have done things that were in question, but he also did some really unselfish things back when he had money. He gave tons of money to help kids all over the world. He brought sick kids to his “Neverland Ranch” to have fun. You can spin what you want from that, but I really think MJ had no childhood and spent his money trying to stay young and on building opportunities for kids to have fun.
My childhood was nonexistent. Now days I get more joy from seeing kids laughing and having fun than any money could buy. Each year I help hungry families with children, and I provide a 4X4 run just for kids. I sort of relate to MJ.
People steered MJ in the wrong directions and maybe they steered him wrong when they advised him to pay those kids off, maybe he was guilty. It is not the time or the place to hash all that out. It has already been hashed.
I think people need to stand up against the haters of the world! Let people be, and quit running them into the ground. Hate should be a crime.
Am I the only one who thinks the girl was faking it??? When I saw the video clip of her and her brother saying how they loved their father so much (the one where they are wearing pj’s), she was repeating well rehearsed words and kept looking at the nanny (or whomever) off to the side, looking for approval that she was saying OK. It was so fake and it was the same thing today – she burst into tears??? One TV commentator said that the kids are playing video games, etc at grandma’s house but they were not crying so why the big outburst at the service?
Correction: “I have no doubt the Jackson’s will find some way to financially benefit from this tragedy they call Michael. I mourn the loss of the little boy he was never allowed to be. Not the perverted, sick, *mentally retarded* man he became
***I meant “emotionally retarded” not “mentally retarded”.***
Now all you gringos know what its like when you deport our children’s parents.
Iggy:
You don’t want to be called a hater, but you don’t have a problem calling those who don’t agree with you “fools.” I guess you don’t see a problem with that.
How come his kids are dark skinned all of a sudden? Did they want to limit the number of white people on the stage?…. Is anyone else tired of all these losers defending this child molester? “Not guilty” doesn’t mean “innocent”. No jury on this planet would convict him of anything especially when he was surrounded by the Nation of Islam. Especially when you pay off victims and their families to go away cause that’s what “innocent” people do. What about that Brazilian boy that got deported when it was found that Michael Jackson slept with him for a year?
Nobody cared about Michael Jackson months ago when it was said he was dying of an infection and had 6 months to live. Nobody came out to kiss his ass.
NotAFanBut:
Just cause I use the term “fool” doesn’t mean I hate them. I feel sorry for “fools”. And no, I see no problem calling a spade a spade (not making a racial statement with that phrase). If you’re a fool, you’re a fool. Period. It’s fact….not hate. I notice a lot of the “hater” accusers using much stronger language than my “fool” and “idiots”. I don’t hate, I feel sorry for their ignorance. You wanna label that “hate” then it’s your choice. I’ll just be content to consider you a fool. Go ahead and comment if you want……I’m done arguing with the likes of you cause it’s obvious we’ll never see eye to eye on this. You want to idolize MJ, go for it. Just don’t get all upset and hurt when I label you a fool.
Has it ever occurred to folks that maybe Paris wanted to defend her father now that he’s gone. She may only be 11 years old…but that’s old enough to know that a lot of people have said many bad things about her father. So she decided she wanted to defend him.
People who are saying that was staged are retarded. That was as real as it gets. Just a daughter loving her father. It happens everywhere in every country on every continent but a child loving a parent is still, to me, a magical thing to watch.
I have read comments posted on here and I am appalled at most of them. People in this country r so quick to judge others not knowing any of the facts. Remember the only one who can truly judsge is God in Heaven. Those who r judging need to realize that if they judge others they r no better than those they r judging, and u will burn in hell. Michael Jackson was a wonderful man who wanted to help and heal the world. He loved children so much that he found a way to have 3 of his own. I do not consider him weird, just different from the flow. He knew what he wanted and he found a way to get it. I love his music, his dancing, his views and the man. He was a gerat person who will b sorely missed. As for his daughter on tv, she had every right to speak about her father, it was her way of paying tribute and letting the world know how great her father was and that she truly loved him and truly misses him. Others need to get a life and try to 1/4 of what Michael did in his short life. God bless the Jackson children and family!!!
another horrible display by the satanists the jackson’s..
they’re drooling to get the money the money the money..
someone should take those kids far the hell away from those
demons.. let’s not forget that idol worship is a sin and i blinds the heart..
there are soooo many blinded fools paying homage to a demon..
a sign of the times.. there will be many more false idols in the near future..
if you choose to idolize this demon than you are responsible for what it has done..
party on.. fools..
no one has to be respectful to this vermon..
don’t believe the hype.. sheep.. what is the surprise.
people aren’t being quick to judge.. there’s been plenty of
evidence and common sense should tell you that a perv is a perv..
but you cant believe it.. oh well.. shows where everyones morals have gone to..
that little girl was acting.. she’s been living in neverland with a lunatic, drug addict father who forced her to have a weird ass childhood wearing masks everywhere.. but now the jackson faaaaaaaamily can’t wait to sink their second rate fangs into all that money she is inheriting.. you know it.. don’t blow it.. won’t be long before they show it.. damn.. those were about as good as any MJ lyric.. what a genius i must be.. the only genius by the way in all of MJs career was QJ.. when QJ goes.. then i would be sad.. common sense tells a normal mind that this guy was guilty of things that most people would be gutted for in prison.. but hey money talks and the criminal walks.. a sign of da times.. fools..
Haters…………
Can’t even except a 9 year old daughter’s statement at her own fathers funeral…
Shame on you worthless low life sub human scum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My uncle came back from the memorial today in tears. He was so distraught, he just handed me his program, wristband and ticket stub and told me to keep it someplace safe for him. If anybody’s interested, it’s on Ebay right now with 2 hours left. The bid is up to $3,750. YEAH BABY!!! . . . . . . .It’s going to be in the mail before he even wakes up.
Can anyone see that the adults are all hidden (once again behind dark sunglasses), as if there is shame and something to hide? Or is that the new cool way to look? Meanwhile, the children, are pushed in the forefront entertaining all the pathetic freakin adults. Anyone thinking this is sweat and sad needs to take a closer look. This is sick and our country is full of dysfunctional freaks!!!
I really wanna know why Dianna Ross and Elizabeth Taylor were no shows….They were supposed to be two important people in his life during the circus years….WHERE ARE THEY NOW? It makes you wonder the truth about really was going on…..God bless those innocent children…..protect them……..
Don’t know if there were ulterior motives in having the child speak at the service, but if there were, it probably was for the purpose of showing how LOVING the Jackson family is/will be toward those children, so that the ex-wife Debbie will look even worse in the upcoming custody battle.
Those poor children are going to be bandied about in a nasty custody fight right in the midst of their grief over losing the only parent they knew. We should all be praying for them.
I am the most cynical, skeptical of persons. My initial reaction to all this crazy media hype was disgust… HOWEVER… it really got me to thinking…
If I died today… how many would weep?
Look- Though I am totally NOT an MJ fan, while watching all the sad hoopla on tv, it occurred to me that somehow, in some very deep way, this man’s life and his music have touched many, many millions of people around the world.
It has been said by some men far wiser than I, that the quality of a man’s life may be judged in large part by the number and quality of those who weep at his funeral.
So… I ask you, fellow skeptics- if YOU died tomorrow, how many would weep for your passing? How many would even notice you were dead?
Food for thought…
In my opinion from watching the memorial, she wanted to say what she said. It did not appear “planned”. I was not a fan of MJ, I would most likely turn the station if his song came on…depending on which one it was. The people who say they are not “his kids” are wrong. I do believe he is the biological father, but even if he is not he was their dad. Even if someone else donated the sperm, do you really think that man cares about those children? MJ was the only father they knew. Blood or no blood. It takes more then blood to create a bond to make a family. There are plenty of “full blood” families out there that are at each others throats. I hope they let these kids grow up to have as normal a life as possible given their situation.
“Greatest entertainer of all time”?
What the heck have you been smokin’ dude?
Entertaining? Yes, to quite a few. Good singer. Yes.
A quality of character and worthy of respect? I don’t think so. Emotionally disturbed, arrested development, mentally unbalanced, enabled by greedy friends, family and associates? Most definitely.
“truthteller” (Geeesh… what kind of delusions is this poster having?)
If “some men” said, “that the quality of a man’s life may be judged in large part by the number and quality of those who weep at his funeral”, then I wouldn’t say that they are wiser than you. Of course, you don’t appear to be too wise so….
It’s not quantity but quality that counts.
Here’s some “food for thought”: Why are millions weeping for an emotionally disturbed, pedophile, drug addict singer but not for the freedoms and liberties that are being stolen away in America as we speak by a Marxist wanna be dictator?
I think Michael Jackson was a pedophile addicted to painkillers, and an extremely talented man musically. He admits to liking to “sleep with children,” and seems to be a completely regressive personality (remember the interview where he said his favorite activity is “climbing trees?”). He lived in a place called “Neverland,” which had statues of children everywhere and doors that seemed to have incredible locks once you entered because he “liked his privacy”. I like my privacy too, but I don’t need multiple locks on my bedroom door.
Nonetheless, he did leave behind two children. Just like many, they don’t see the flaws in their parents, but likely loved him as he was. I feel badly for their loss, but in the end, it might just be for the better….unless they go to the rest of that wacky Jackson family. they are just a showcase of what abuse does. Janet who seems to have zero self-esteem, Latoya who I think worked for weird psychic hotlines (and was in some adult mags I think), Michael (speaks for itself), etc…
So sad, really, that whole family of dysfunction.
So, do we know which taxidermy company is stuffing MJ? I heard Joe is going to have MJ on disply to make a few MORE bucks off his freak.
Give me a http://www.mozzsticks.com break! I’d rather read articles from mozz sticks than listen to another MJ story. Come oN!
Isn’t it interesting that so many of you have spewed hate towards those who have different opinions than your own? You call them haters, lowlife, scum, sub-human, etc. in a hateful manner. Look in the mirror.
Talk about moral relativism. Was Michael Jackson a great entertainer? Yes. Did he change the face of pop music? Yes. Did he revolutionize the music video? Yes.
Now let’s get down to the real deal here. Even though Michael Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges, it doesn’t change the FACT that he had some very disturbing ideas about expressing “love” to a child.
Let’s say your neighbor’s son invited your 13 year old son to a sleepover. The dad wanted your son to sleep in his bed with him. What would you do? Would you allow it? I would call the police so fast your head would spin. It is NOT normal for a grown man to want to sleep with a teenage boy. What if you learned that the neighbor gave your son wine? That is not only wrong, it is against the law.
Michael Jackson did all of these things, and it is a matter of public record. To laud this man as a great entertainer when he clearly had disturbing behavior towards teen boys is disgusting. He was a disturbed man who continued on a downward spiral. A normal, well-adjusted man does not have so many surgeries on his face that he looks like plastic. A normal man does not dangle an infant over a balcony with a blanket on his head so the pres can take pictures. A normal man doesn’t keep the kinds of drugs in his home that were found in Jackson’s at the time of his death.
This is not hate. This is a presentation of the FACTS. Mussolini made the trains in Italy run on time. He was a great orator. Does history look to him as a good man because of these things? NO. Michael Jackson had so much wrong with him, it outweighs the good. To worship this man the way the media has, and to exploit his death the way his family has is abominable. The guy needed professional help and instead had a bunch of sycophants and yes-men around him that kowtowed to him rather than getting him the real help he needed. It’s a shame to see this happen to anyone. It’s even more tragic when it happens to someone so talented.
EXCUSE ME?!?! you call that ACTING?!?! that was probably one of the most GENUINE things i have ever seen. it reduced me to tears. what heartless jerks you all are. and she was NOT exploited, she wanted to speak for herself. you haters are all a bunch of !@#$%^&*. and get your !@#$%^& facts right before judging Michael Jackson. i can’t believe you freaks can twist something so pure and innocent and beautiful – a little girl’s love for her father – into something so ugly. shame on you!
MJ – artistic, talented, musically inspiring,AND an entertainer who has donated more $$$$$ to charities than ANY other person – EVER !!
Those of you who feel you have the moral superiority and wisdom to judge – have you even watched or read the lyrics to his “Earth Song” or “Man in the Mirror” ?? You should.
well said Mom of 4
I think it was so wrong to have that little girl go up on stage,i can hear Janet & Latoya saying !!!Go on Baby,you go on up there and tell everyone how Great your Daddy was,PLEASE !!!!!!What about those little boys he took advantage of back @ neverland ????hmmmmm……….?????? how time goes by and we forget ??? I bet 75% of all the people that watched this whatever
you want to call it,back in 2003 had second thoughts about the king of POP
then….don’t get me wrong,I liked his music too !!! I just don’t have time for Freaks when it comes to children !!!!
I’m disgusted by the amount of people that only want to judge and accuse a person that obviously made a bigger and better impact on the world than most, if not ALL of us ever will.
A)For those who negatively comment on his change of skin color: He had a skin disorder called Vitiligo( http://floacist.wordpress.com/2007/06/12/full-information-on-vitiligo-michael-jackson/) take a look before judging.
B)He was found INNOCENT in court.Plus, Jordan Chandler admitted he was lying ,Jackson never touched him and it was all about the money. If someone molested YOUR kid, would you want his money or would you just shoot them in the head?? And did any of you know that everything that boy and his father said was proven to be LIES?Everything, every single detail and trust me, the police gave him a lot of shit during the investigations. There is a recorded conversation, you will hear the boy’s father saying that he wants to “destroy them and win big time”.It’s allover the net so I suggest you get your facts straight.
The man donated millions and millions of dollars for sick children and children in need, his home was open for everyone and anyone and that destroyed him.Maybe he shouldn’t have been a good person, maybe he should have been a egoistical vengeful bastard like most of the artists we know. Maybe that would make you people happy.
It’s sickening how the media feed on his death, it’s sickening how his father and siblings do the same. As for that little girl, I don’t know if she wanted to speak in the first place, if she meant all she said. It looks very fake.
Let’s just remember what this man left behind and how many people, especially musicians, are influenced by his music. Why be so hateful, people?? It was painkillers he was addicted to, not crack, he was only human so stop being so judgmental.
One last thing.. He had a doctor with him the day he died, his doctor gave him the lethal dose, now where is that man?? Hiding.
Yeah, I would too if I had just killed the most famous artist in the world..way to go, asshole…
Cut Michael Jackson some slack and just let him rest in peace.He had a really fucked up life with no childhood but he made the most of it. I doubt it that half of us will EVER get that close so the least we can do is show some respect!
P.S. Mom of 4 said “This is a presentation of the FACTS”..Jesus woman, you clearly know how to use the internet..do some research before speaking of FACTS. Yes, that suggests you get off your couch and close your television.

She really loved him. I pray they find consolation in knowing he was the greatest entertainer of all time. (How can an extraordianary man die any other way- except extraordinarily)
