View Full Version : MJ's memorial surmick 07-07-2009, 11:44 AM I am watching it and I have to say Brooke Shields made me cry. jellybeanmichelle 07-07-2009, 11:46 AM I'm DVRing NBC and CNN's broadcasts. That's good to know I might need some tissue. :) Maritza 07-07-2009, 12:16 PM Very sad:( Why are the grown ups let the kids chew gum during the memorial??? So disrepecfull IMO!........I don't know, maybe I am too conservative;) LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP! Kellie_MO5 07-07-2009, 12:21 PM Why are the grown ups let the kids chew gum during the memorial??? So disrepecfull IMO!........I don't know, maybe I am too conservative;) sometimes it's a choice between chewing gum and hearing a child ask every 2.37 seconds "can we go now? I'm BORED! I wanna go... lalalalalala" ... and the gum wins... :dunno Maritza 07-07-2009, 12:30 PM I love the song that they are playing right now..."We are the World"....it brings great memories from childhood... His daugther Paris, looked cute singing that song!!.....OMG I am going to cry!:( becky 07-07-2009, 01:03 PM I love the song that they are playing right now..."We are the World"....it brings great memories from childhood... His daugther Paris, looked cute singing that song!!.....OMG I am going to cry!:(DH woke me up to watch this and I am so glad we stayed home to watch it. I shed a tear when that song came on. I remember learning it as a child to sing for the school. so so sad becky 07-07-2009, 01:03 PM OMG and Paris at the end. wow :( Debbie_P 07-07-2009, 04:52 PM I cried today!!!! It is so sad for such a true legend to be gone at such a young age. He was amazing and no one will ever come close to him as an entertainer. So so so sad. RIP MJ..... TaivensMama 07-07-2009, 05:23 PM i didn't watch it....is it replaying anywhere? Very sad:( Why are the grown ups let the kids chew gum during the memorial??? So disrepecfull IMO!........I don't know, maybe I am too conservative;) LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP! I honestly would HAVE to give Taiven gum in order for him to be quiet in a situation like that, it is actually recommended by his doctor to use gum in situations where he needs to be quiet. He even wanted me to ask his school if it would be allowe for him to do to help his talking issues at school (but I opeted out knowing he tends to play with it and may be more distracted without me sitting there reminding him not to play with his gum) Not knowing if the kids you saw suffer from any issues that would make it helpful for them to have their mouth occupied by gum instead of talking, but you can't see it by just looking at most kids...not trying to be rude or anything, just putting it out there for the other side of the story so to speak... Maritza 07-07-2009, 06:11 PM My intention was not to come across rude or insensitive so I apologized if I upset someone here ;) Sharon 07-07-2009, 06:13 PM I think cnn.com has the whole thing as a video clip. So so sad :( surmick 07-07-2009, 06:19 PM My intention was not to come across rude or insensitive so I apologized if I upset someone here ;) Dude, don't even sweat it, To quote Willy Wonka, "Chewing gum is really gross. Chewing gum, I hate the most." But at the same time I know how hard it is to get a kid to sit still for just five seconds more as well. Brookepanda 07-07-2009, 06:23 PM I didn't watch....I was at the doctor....I'll have to catch a glimpse online...I'm sure there will be clips galore on youtube soon.

I guess I need to watch the movie again :rofl Colleen&Kail 07-07-2009, 07:12 PM i missed it! becky 07-07-2009, 10:15 PM DH and I were talking about it all day today. I didn't think something like this would be upsetting, after all I never met him or even knew him personally but he is someone I grew up listening too and really enjoying his music. Its like a part of my childhood died and today all those memories came flooding back. I totally agree with what you said Debbie. I am still in disbelief that he died so young TaivensMama 07-08-2009, 01:03 AM I caught a special tonight that covered it and totally got me in tears when his daughter went up...poor thing My intention was not to come across rude or insensitive so I apologized if I upset someone here ;) I didn't think you came off as rude, I was just throwing it out there that the gum may have been used to help the kids be quiet...I didn't see the coverage :) no need to apologize :) howardvm 07-08-2009, 04:31 AM I watched it last night (I had DVR'd it on CNN and NBC). Lets just say I am going to work this morning with very puffy eyelids. RIP MJ! I have always loved you and never strayed from being a total admirer of yours! You will always be the greatest entertainer to me, with the most incredible voice, and the most incredible dance moves.

Lorah 07-08-2009, 09:43 AM I watched the recap this morning on the news...I was at WIC yesterday and so I miss the main event. Brooke Shields and MJ's daughter brought tears to my eyes. Both had VERY heartfelt and emotional things to say. jellybeanmichelle 07-08-2009, 10:13 AM I watched it last night (I had DVR'd it on CNN and NBC). :yeah Only I haven't watched the NBC version yet. I think it was a bad idea to watch it just before going to bed. All night I had dreams of his songs and his dancing, etc.... I cried a little at the end when his brothers wheeled him away. It's sad that he died, but it also brings up memories of "my" family members that have passed on who I miss dearly. Leigh 07-08-2009, 10:25 AM I don't have TV so I didn't watch the memorial... I am on deadline so I haven't looked anything up online yet just to be in the loop of what everyone is talking about... I have never been Jackson's biggest fan... but even I had MJ make an appearance in my dreams last night! :shake . |
