I am watching the Michael Jackson Memorial, with a tear in my eye then Jermaine came on and sang and the the tears really came. I know not everyone is a fan but what a fitting memorial.
We forget he was first and foremost a very loved father. That poor little girl, she is bereft as are her brothers. My heart bleeds for them. Forget everything else, those kids have lost the centre of their world.
I am distraught. I wouldn't have said I was an out and out fan but I did appreciate his outstanding talent.
Those poor kids. But shoot me down now, but I hope they get some normality now in their lives and go to school etc. Its heartbreaking they have lost their daddy but I hope life stays good for them. Not 100% sure about whether they should go to their mother, although part of me thinks it may be for the best as she is able to offer them a normal life.
I boooed my head off, especially when his daughter spoke at the end .... so sad for the kids! I lost my dad suddenly the day after my 14th Birthday and I always find things like this so emotional - even after 22 years?
I am a big Jacko fan a HUUUUUUGE one in fact and me and my Mum were crying our eyes out from start to finish. I could go on all day about how he was mis-judged and was accused of disgusting accusations he DID NOT do (as proved by the judge and trial NOT his devoted fans). Hewever i will not and i will just comment on the memorial.
Its strange but i miss him even though i didnt even know him. The children are in the best place with Jacksons family. The children KNOW the jackson family and as everyone saw on the tv they are a big family unit. Thats all the children knew is his family, They never even saw their mother since they were new born so do NOT see her as a mother but as a stranger. Jacko's mother is more of a mother figure then Debbie and for the people who think that the kids are better with Debbie then is it fair to split the children up?
Debbie only wants the eldest 2 and NOT the youngest BLANKET so that would just be disgusting if they got parted when they are obviously heartbroken from losing their dad that and then they get split up and parted from the only thing they have to get through this time (family) and then they are to get sent away to their so called mother who they do not know as a mother or as anyone as they never met her only as newborns so why not split them up and give them to a stranger?
Debbie does not know anything about them and when she signed them children away for a HUUUUUUUGE amount of money she signed them away and it was NEVER in Jacksons will that Debbie would get them if anything happened to him. She knew that but was happy to sign them kids away and get a big pay cheque and a brand new house worth millions!
Now she wants to step in and play mother?
I dont think so!
All i see there is $$$$$$$$$ for her!
Theres no way the courts will split them kids up after they have lost their father and besides you could clearly see they were comfortable with the jackson family and THEY are the shoulder to cry on NOT Debbie and THEY have been their for them children NOT Debbie.
RIP Jacko and i miss ya loads and i will always fight for you when the critics fight against you!
I waited all day to watch it then we had a power cut.
Part of it came on the news last night, it's like, half of me has just disappeared.
I was obsessed with him since I could understand life, even after his surgery he was still a beautiful person inside and out to me. My family never approved of me loving him or his music so all my emotions have been bottled until now.
I just want to hug his kids, seriously. I know what it's like to lose a father, but not whats it's like to a good father. He adored his kids and they loved him, it's terrible that all they're uncaring, money grubbing Mum is after is the money.
They should stay with the jackson's and carry on MJ's legacy as best they can.
