    For me, ‘Human Nature’ was stunning!

    Mayer played it with such a melancholy touch, yet it didn’t feel like a dirge. There was one point where the camera shot him from the side and you could see him standing in front of the gold coffin.

    That spoke so many words to me.

    Actually, my favourite performance was Judith Hill’s killing rendition of “Heal the World”. Next came Jafargholi’s “Who’s lovin’ you” (really moving) and Hudson’s “Will you be there” — Hudson is such a great singer, she deserves more attention.

    Human Nature was beautiful. There were no words and yet, that performance spoke volumes. I was in tears the entire time it was played.

    I SMELL A COVER-UP COMING(keep in mind, who called it first)

    Would be nice is someone really got deep..

    I certainly hope Michael Jackson didn’t die in vain, when his memory could be the spoke person and biggest advocate on fighting the FDA and The Monster Pharmaceutical companies that directly caused his death and thousands of others.
    Not even Elvis or Marilyn Monroe could do that !!!. I hope its considered an accidental over-dose ans swipt under the rug. That would be lie !
    Not even Elvis could do that !!!

    There are three major catalysts that played a role in Michael Jackson death:

    1.) The Accusers — they are worthless cowards and probably too afraid to save Michael Jackson’s name reputations. However, I say keep trying

    2.) The Doctors– Let’s hope George Bush did not pass the Malpractice reform bill (have not looked into it) If so, it makes it very difficult to accuse doctors of anything. Quote “California’s medical malpractice law, cited as a model by President Bush, has reduced awards in malpractice trials by an average of 30%” http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/articles/12458/Lawyer-interview-Sean-Burke.html

    3.) The 5 global pharma companies— Michael Jackson’s doctors probably never told him he would become dependent on the drugs when they prescribed them the first time. His addiction is the pharmaceutical companies fault for not telling the doctors about the outcome. Instead, the Parma companies gave away trips to doctors who prescribed the most. With all the billions the companies make a year, a person would think they could prevent doctor shopping or over prescribing. Didn’t two 25 yr old college students create Google? Try telling the pharmaceutical companies that.

    No matter how much gossip is passed around, they will never be charged or admit to murder. Makes me wonder if the DEA joined the Michael Jackson’s case, to help with the cover-up, someone has too. EVERYONE KNOWS THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES OWN THE DEA AND THE FDA, I WOULD HOPE..

    Example of the pharmaceuticals cleverness: Remember Dr. Robert Jarvik, the inventor of the artificial heart. Well he was never a heart specialist, Pfizer swept that right under the rug, without anyone questioning..

    This poll is shytnn on me.

    Where’s Jermaines “Smile” and the “We are the World/ Heal the world” performance

    those were the best 2

    Jermaine had me boohooing and watching Paris singing her Daddys songs on stage ripped my heart in two.

    Judith Hill was the best vocalist of the memorial.

    Stevie Wonder was incredibly emotive and delivered from the soul. He actually sang two songs blended into one amazing performance – the first being ‘Never Dreamed You’d Leave In Summer’ and the second song (which begins after Stevie sings “Michael, why didn’t you stay?”) being ‘They Won’t Go When I Go’. Definitely the most heartfelt and honest performance at Michael’s memorial.

    I gotta say though, am I the only person who thinks Shaheen Jafargholi performance of ‘Who’s Loving You’ stank? C’mon, sure that kid can “technically” sing but his voice is without any real soul or depth – and frankly, I don’t even like the sound of his voice. It doesn’t hold a candle to Michael’s version performed on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1969 when he was 10. Michael even as a kid was an artist, a prodigy of immeasurable talent who believed every note he sang – and we the audience felt it.

    Stevie Wonder was the best in my opinion. I could feel the pain in his voice when he said he wished he never lived to see the day [of Michael passing].
