Right Jackos dead and now buried just as this thread should be.
The sad thing is I don't think that his kids were allowed to grief for Michael the way they wanted to. The way I felt while watching it was that the whole event was staged and his family were dictated on how they were to behave in front of the media. The only three topics talked about was that Michael was a great african/american man, the music he sang while the Jackson were signed to Motown and the press coverage on his court battles that was it. There were no stories of Michael growing up with his sisters and brothers, no pictures of him and his kids.
I don't know who took responsibility for the memorial but it was not a fitting tribute to the musical genius that Michael Jackson was.

I don't think there's any need to close the thread. It's not causing arguments like the Jade Goody thread was.
As PB has just said, if people don't want to talk about the topic, don't come in the thread.
I'm sorry if I got anyones heckles up with my comments the last thing I want to do is start an argument, but for me I remember Michael all through the 80's and all the fantastic dance music he wrote and performed. Although I wasn't a huge fan his music and dancing were amazing and it was only when he started having all that plastic surgery and the court cases that the public started to dislike him.
I do agree that his kids had a right to be at the service but they should never have been thrown into the public limeight the way they were. That memorial service was not a memorial fit for a superstar that Michael was it was a controlled service by the same people who have controlled Michael and the rest of the jacksons.
Thinking back over what you've said in your previous posts Kath, you are right. The memorial service focused on Motown and the abuse allegations and not much else.
Michael left Motown years ago and never went back to it, yet the service didn't recognise that. It didn't acknowledge all the awards he won, the records he set and broke in pop or any of his career highlights.
As for the abuse allegations, the subject should never have been brought up at a ceremony to honour his memory.
I was at a sports day today for one of Marleys friends he lives in a residential home for kids with behavioural and emotional problems, there is about 40 kids live there ages from 7 to 14 years of age. There were loads of them doing moon walking all because of Michael. They know nothing of the life he had or the charges against him. They were Michael Jackson fans because he invented the Moonwalk and Tuesday should have been a celebration to the moonwalk not a freakshow to upset his children even more.
Its a waste of space talking about a man who despsised the colou of his own skin and had some dubious views on young boys. Hes dead and no matter how much is said he wont be coming backQuote:
