I think it was an overall great memorial for the "Greatest Entertainer of All Time" but I was a little disappointed that we didn't get to see a new clip of his rehearsal videos.

Was it just me or my family but didn't the director of the London concerts, I forgot his name, say that they were going to conclude with a song from the concert?

I wish I could have, but I was stuck in a TV repair shop with no (working) TV's! I call it my dad's place.

I love 80% of his songs. I should have been a teen during the 80's. There's such crappy music today...

They showed a clip on UK TV a few days ago...pretty good, I have to say.

As for the song - they did. Only live, with a cast of thousands but no Jacko. Er, obviously....

Are you talking about the Hear the World and We are the world songs at the end? I don't think that that was what the director said but I could be wrong.

I was pretty teary throughout the whole thing but when the daughter came out and said something...I was done...

the speech by his daughter although short but is very touching

Didn't watch the whole thing but watched that touchy scene.

Which makes me wonder, is she really his biological child? I mean all 3 of them are so "white" compared to all their uncles, aunts and even MJ when he was a child. I know her mother is white and odds can occur that none of MJ's genes physically appear on her... but on all 3 of them?

I like MJ and most of his songs and I am not trying to raise a racial issue. I am just curious and also wonder what implications this might have on the custody and inheritance matter. As I understand the mother is not getting a piece of MJ's fortune or custody of her children, if this turns really ugly on court can she ask for a paternity test? With so much money at stake things tend to get messy at times. I wish all the best for his 3 children.

I watched the special, it was very well done. I thought Sharpton's piece was very well done. Also, I enjoyed the Smokey R bit along with Magic J's comments. The daughter coming up broke me down.

There are stories that Michael's dermatologist's sperm was used. They also say Debbie Rowe may not be the biological mother of the first two. She may have just been a carrier. They also say that Michael did not legal adopt these children.

No, I've been stuck at work all day and will be the rest of the night. I'll try to catch a clip or two on YouTube when I get home.

It sure made a mess out of Los Angeles traffic this morning, though!

I tried to watch the news but everyone was showing this instead. HDNet had Star Trek Enterprise on though so I ended up watching that.

 

[fatman711]

In all the pictures that I've seen so far, the kids look white. However, today when I saw them, Paris especially, you can totally tell that they look kinda darkish and have some mixed blood in them.

Just watch this again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzHJy...ature=featured

You can totally see that she is black.

 

[Happy Camper]

Nope.

I dvred it but as always I messed up and only got about 30 mins or so of the actual memorial. I have about 3 hours of reporters talking instead. I did see a lot of clips from different news shows. I must say I was moved by it and his little daughter talking just got me. You just don't really know what you have till it's gone.

 

[DocHamm]

I missed it. Hoping I can catch some of it somewhere but I'm doubting it will be re-aired.

It's playing all over the place here in Canada. Like much music, much more music, CNN, etc., etc.
