Larry Reflects on Today's Memorial

I watch the Michael Jackson memorial today and was very ashamed of myself for my salacious participation in viewing and reading these attempts to hurt MJ. Today, I wanted to say "Michael come back, we will be nicer this time", but that is not true. We are mean spirited people who enjoy watching the destruction of others....even our own friends, we enjoy seeing them fail. If jesus walked this earth today imagine what we would do to him.....again,,,,,,horrifying to think of it. This should be declared a National Day of Shame, with a vow from each of us to not participate in the destruction of others. We forget with celebrities that they are persons like us with feelings and families, just like us. We have enjoyed this bloodsport with Elvis, Marilyn, Anna Nicole and many others....WHAT IS WRONG WITH US? WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS. I am sick to my stomach at my own part in this. Shame on all of us. He was a lovely and talented individuals and I cried all day thinking about how mean we were to him....I cry now writing this.

During the memorial, a young man by the name of Shaheen Jafargholi
performed a song for Michael Jackson. Shaheen was in the top 6 finalists on Britain Got Talent 2009 and ended the competition in third place.

The Jackson Family didn't have to share their grief with us. But in doing so they gave us a chance to say goodbye. The service was phenomenal, beautiful and everything Michael.

Larry, I just want to make a statement about the Jackson Memorial service today. I would like for his family and children to know that they should never say good bye and I tell you why; Even though I like Michael Jackson through all the years he has been around, that one of my other favorite singers wrote a song that I believe that would fit this memorial service; is a song by Jon Bon Jovi "Never Say Good-Bye". I just want his children to know that they will eventually see him again because he has never left us. and send All my love to the Jackson Family.

To who it may concern:
Where do I send my contribution for the Michael Jackson memorial today?? I know LAPD is strapped but Jackson touched my life too. I was not able to attend, and cannot send much money as I am, disable veteran but know too that every little bit will help out. I want to "give back" for this memorial service as Michael Jackson would have done for the world. His most popular Video ( and he MADE MTV what it is today!) might have been Thriller, Billie Jean or Beat It....but the one that screams straight from his heart is the brings me to tears is the Earth Song-RIP Michael Jackson
PLEASE e-mail back ASAP and let me know where to send my contribution by money order. It is only fair to the LAPD and I think the fans would agree if asked....

Most Sincerely,
Judy Anderson (age 51)

As I and the intire world watched and mourned Micheal Jackson, the saddness that I felt was one I never knew exsisted. He was the BEST ENTERTAINER ever. I as many followers of his music back in the early 80's had the glove, the jacket, the albums, the posters covering every inch of my room and of course naming my hamsters M.J. and when one passed on the next one was M.J. 1, 2 etc...... My 2,7 and 12 year old know his music well as we have always played it and they watched with us as we and the entire world smiled,cried and laughed at the amazing person he was. I am inspried by Paris and her devotion to her Father> The whole Jackson Family I pray for your healing. I believe he was looking dowm today and smiling from ear to ear and just being so proud of his beautiful childern. I just wish I could hug and tell the Jackson Famliy their son was and still is an amazing man.

Today was a wonderful day until, I checked the post office box. Micheal Jackson was layed to rest and everyone was peaceful. Why can't the Post Office take a chill pill. 2305 0270 0000 1568 1358 put in on the sixth still hasn't moved. Hopefully, it's because everyone was watching Micheal Jackson, and things will get right tomorrow. I hope that's all it was happening. May Micheal Jackson rest in peace.

too beautiful for words, Mr King..perhaps Ms Walters will speak about it tomorrow on the VIEW ..so happy u were there....

I would have to agree Larry, it was a classy and beautiful memorial. Highlights for me were Brooke Shields, Al Shapton and MJ's daughter Paris. Say what you will about the family or choices Michael made, the bottom line is this was a kind, gentle soul who changed the world through music. He cared, that was his big downfall and oh, he was also a human being.

I grew up listerning to Michael Jackson Music. I was deeply sadden to hear of his death. While watching his memorial today I realize how great a impact he had on my life. I kept crying and crying. My prayers are with his beautiful children and the entire Jackson family. R.I.P. Michael.....

i saw MJ memorial and i was moved and touch. but one thing i like to say and i strongly believe in my heart MJ didn't sexually abuse kids. people and the media needs to stop judging and saying that he did. just because they were all in the same bed with him doesn't mean a thing

What a wonderful tribute fit for a king. I am a single 52 yr old female and loved Michael from day one. I cried numerous times throughout the service. I thank the family for allowing us the fans to be a part of his celebration. I have many collectibles of his and would dearly love to have one of the programs from today. I would love to see the Jackson Family to produce more and the proceeds could go into a fund for the children. They are beautiful. Jermaine has been a god send. I just love him to death. May peace be with this family

It was a sad day for me today to watch the end of an era for a King. It is not unrealistic to give such a title to a man who inspired and filtered hope and possibilities into the lives of many. MJ, inspired this little girl who would sit on the stoop and listen to the Jackson Five and dream one day of possibilities that often wasnt meant for people of color. I was happy for their success and through their eyes I began to believe maybe , one day I to could reach some level of success.
To the many critics, how disrespectful for you to try to destroy the global admiration and dedication to MJ. In addition, if he was not MJ the accusations put against him would not be credible and of course the almighty dollar settled accusations, I suspect that anytime money takes over right or wrong makes me suspect.
I thank you MJ, for the music, hope and promise of a better world. RIP
MJ.

Larry, I agree with you that it was an appropriate tribute. I grew up on Michael's songs. He touched our hearts and his legency will remain with us. Thank you for your kindness. We watch your program and respect your thoughts. Your words have rung deep in my heart. Thank you so much!!!

Michael jacksons memorial was the most moving i have ever seen. I have always been a fan but never thought he would leave us so soon. He has done so many wonderful things and i can't beleve the way the media bashed him for years, calling him waco jacko you should be very ashamed and now that he is gone it's oh lets remember the king of pop. He should have goe thr recognition he deserved while he was alive to see it. Why is it people can come together so wonderfuly after they are gone and bash the crap out of you while you are alive? The jackson family is in my prayers and michael you will be very very very missed 🙁

Jeffrey Tobin truly does nor understand Michael Jacksons intentions. Yes little children lay in bed with Michael but it wasnt for sexual purposes. Especailly from people of color there is nothing unusual about that. Blacks don't have ulterior motives laying around having fun with children. So many things happen sexually in the white world until most think it applies to all. People of color dont often have those kind of hangups. However, I must admit they are catching up. Just now becoming serial killers and sexual deviants. Michael was basically sharing and having a good time. I have had many of my family and friends of an opposite sex lay around in bed with me watching tv, palying games and even taking naps. There is nothing odd about it. It has to be a person that doesnt know how to share love that dont understand this or a person that carries around negative thoughts. I bet if Michael had been married or had been seen around town with hundreds of different women no one would have had a word to say about him. The money hungry are the ones that put this out there. Why did it take him all of those years to become interested in little boys? It just doesnt make sense.

Hi Larry;
I watched the full coverage of Michael's service today from Canada. What an amazing memorial. I had hoped the casket would have been opened, but 11 days after death the body is in no condition to be on display. Never met MJ or been to one of his concerts, but this out pouring of love shown today touched me so much, I spent the day crying. I think the public played a role in his early departure from this world. The man never had any peace!! All this damnation of him for being addicted to prescription drugs, how could someone have so much plastic surgery and NOT become addicted, who's to blame? The doctors of course. Not likely in the beginning did Michael know what the out comes could or would be. Thanks to CNN for broadcasting this memorial live for me to take part in. Certainly I would not have been there in person, CNN gave me the chance to partake in this event of the century. There were so many touching moments, from Al Sharpton telling the children their dad was not strange, he just had to deal with some strange things(all for someone to gain money and ruin someones life), Usher breaking down while singing, His brother singing his favorite song, the family on stage at the very end and JJ and MJ, speaking of their brother and sharing their love of him. I half expected to see Michael open the casket at the end and say "This is It", (what an opening for his upcoming concerts), but when Katherine spoke of her father and broke down, there was no mistaking that he was certainly gone from this life. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!! R.I.P Michael, God bless the family and Michael's children. Too unreal until that dear child spoke of her daddy.

Larry where was Tatum O'Neal? I surely thought by seeing Brooke that Tatum would be there...

I would like to thank the Jackson family for allowing us to be a part of today. To allow us to see the very human side of Michael was a parting gift that for a time brought us together. I only hope that we, as part of the human family, can take the message his music conveyed and learn to love, forgive and care for one another. Imagine the tribute that would be to him – to us all. He would want that.

I was very disappointed to see that Joe Jackson did not remove his hat during the entire service. I felt it showed little respect for his son.

This was the most beautifulest Memorial Service that I have ever seen. Very befitting for a King. Not to flashy or over the top. Very tasteful and dignified. The Jackson family as a whole really came together and showed the world that they are and were truly a family that not only loved their brother, but also loved one another. May God continue to keep them and give them strength during these days, months, and years to come.

R.I.P Michael

I was blown away by the performances, especially Jermaine's gut busting song. The memorial helped us all remember why we loved Michael in the first place- the music. Because of his often crazy personal life, Jackson doesn't get enough credit for his musical genius. His music will live forever. Elvis may have changed culture more because the time was so conservative, but Michael's music was more varied and creative.

Jackson deserves more credit for always taking chances. He never repeated himself. He will be missed.

Thank you to the Jackson Family for sharing this most private moment with us. Michael Jackson was such an inspiration to so many people. The world will truly miss this amazing man. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Jackson Family. It would have been an to have know Michael Jackson. Godspeed to the King of Pop.

Larry, I would like to know if any of Michael Jackson's personal physicians attended today's memorial service.

Michael Jackson's memorial service was beautiful. He was a wonderful person who touched so many. Michael was truly blessed with more than a talent, he had a real gift from above.

Dear Mr King, I like your show a lot even if English is my second language. But today I was surprised to hear you say that you dont know that little boy who sang at Jackson's memorial service. I got to know him through your show with Biance and he is from BGT. His name is Shaheen, I think. I hope you will not forget your own wonderful show

I used to think he might have harmed little kids, but today I'm convinced he was such a uniquely shy and in some ways, naive man who some how never grew up. Strange, because so much of his best tunes had such emotion and depth. No wonder everyone going back and getting his music by downloading or buying his CD's in record numbers. NO ONE WILL EVER influence culture purely with music like Michael did! I mean, his music is loved EVERYWHERE in the world, no one does that today! God bless you, Michael, we miss you.

hello Larry i know you already in the place where held the Michael Jackson Memorial Service ! it is great lovely service to bid goodbye to Michael Jackson and now he is with The Lord ! I am telling you that Paris Jackson gave her words about Her Daddy and she loves him so much ! But I was so disgusted at the remarks of Congressman Peter King that made me not comfortable to hear like that ! It is so insulting comment from Peter King to Michael Jackson's Family in the time of mourning ! I know He should not have done like that in the wrong time to make awful slanderous words that i don't approve of this at all For me as a Canadian I would like to see Peter King to make a formal apology to this special family if he don't make this so get him to resign from his position! Because Michael is an internationally figure over all the world that I admired his doings so far as well as a gifted musician ! thanks!

I am a middle aged guy that is very sad today. I have not cried this much in a long time. MJ was such an angel, a guy with such a great heart. Just look at many of his songs Black or White, Human nature, Man in the Mirror. Its to bad humans dont have expiration dates on them, for I would have loved to get a few years in advance notice before MJ past in order to meet him and thank him for being great both on and off the stage. My goal now is to clear his name of any false claims of child molestation. He did not do that. Bottom line. Also, I hope his kids are cared for properly. Michael your the best, and i look forward to seeing you in heaven. Your the best.

Amen Rev. Al Sharpon Amen! That was an amazing speech!!

Hi Larry
I watched the memorial today. It was beautiful and touching. I hope that this brings closure and that the media will now concentrate on other issues and leave MJ's family to grieve in peace for their loss

Stevie Wonder got it right...those who have jeered...sneered at...and savaged Michael... will never go where Michael has gone!

Michael's loss can never be healed. He was to fine for this world. He is safe and at peace. His detractors can busy themselves preparing for their ultimate Karmas...

And, for that, I rejoice!

Dear Mr. King, I love your show very much even if English is my second language. BUT today I was very surprised to hear you say that you dont know that little boy who sang at the Jackson's memorial service because I got to know him through your show with Biance. That boy is from BGT. I guess you are too moved today that you forgot your own wonderful show. Thanks

Where was Lisa Marie Presley? Why no mention of either of his wives?

I want to first thank the Jackson family for allowing the world to say good-bye to Michael! He was a man who belonged to the world! What a wonderful and magnificent tribute filled with genuine love. I never realized the impact Michael Jackson had on my life until his death. How ironic that it takes a grave loss in order for us to fully reflect and appreciate.

Michael’s music transcended generations of people throughout the world. He lost his childhood to give us ours. He had a kind and gentle soul! . Michael was a Philanthropist as well as a gifted musician who inspirited multitude of generations that spanned anywhere from age 8 to 80!

When I think of Michael, I always think of the love he could never give himself but brought to the world through his music. Michael may be gone, but he will live on in all of our hearts. RIP my sweet friend!

What a beautiful memorial for a beautiful soul. The world lost one of it's greatest treasures. Love you Michael!

Goodbye Michael, forever a king.

Michael Jackson was pure love; and he changed the world and inspired those he touched to be better. His music moved through my body, uniting me with universal humanity. -Mary

Representing Peru. Michael we love you! We are the world! May you rest in peace.

We all miss MJ. Talented, and a heartfelt prescence.

I have to believe in Heaven because I have to believe there is a place for Michael Jackson.

Michael wrote a few songs and then lived a life of obnoxious, clueless luxury. Not exactly a "world treasure."

Larry, MJ was speaking to the world thru his music language. even though most of us didn't understand English we understood his language and messages. I love Michael Jackson. you will remmbered in our HEARTS ALWAYS. esp. YOU HAVE A SPECIAL IN AFRICAN CHILDREN'S HEART. MAY RIP.

from Ethiopia

The tribute to MJ was great! A lot of different emotions. I have say thank you to the Jackson family for sharing MJ in so many ways & especially for today,showing Neverland ranch& for Jermaine being so strong in all aspects of the last 2 weeks. Thank you Jackson family we will miss you MJ!

Any doubt, in anyone's mind,about this great man, should be PUT TO REST, after this BEAUTIFUL memorial service. Michael had a beautiful soul, and he will be loved by many, forever. I have never seen such a more beautiful service. God bless Michaels parents, brothers, and sisters, and his three beautiful children. I don't think anyone will ever forget the beautiful and touching tribute Paris payed too her father.
I feel blessed to have been a part of Michaels memorial.

As I watched the Michael Jackson memorial service I wondered "was Michael saved" and how many people watching this event were lost. I thought, what a time for you to tell the listeners of a death that would mean much more for their eternity. Yes Rev. I am speaking of Jesus the person you forgot in your speech. Yet, you chose to speak your broken record speech, of race and how a certain group was wronged. I question the validity of your Reverend title. When you were center stage in front of millions of people, you completely dropped the ball. In the future, please try and remember that it was Jesus that died for us and he is the only way to Heaven. Remember his love and compassion for people. Yes Michael was good for a lot of things, but you must remember works cant get you to Heaven. Rev. Sharpton, if you are a true Reverend and minister of God then use the stage for his message after all, that's what a true Reverend does.

Michael was the biggest entertainer that ever lived. The memorial was so sad.

I was glad it didnt turn out to be the circus it was expected to be . It is too bad it took the death of Michael Jackson to get the reverence he deserved. He is truly the King of Pop and The way people around the world came together in his name was proof of that and his legacy will live on and on forever! RIP Michael .

You have raised your kids with love – it shows. That is your biggest legacy. RIP

Thank you Jackson family for allowing all of us to celebrate the life of a truly kind, and talented, loving man, I think everyone who watched left wanting to look in the mirror and become a much better person

Michael will always be with us. I am so proud of the Jackson family. Such a close family. My heart goes out to them. We love you Michael.

May your family find solice in the lord. May your children find love and safeness in your family and may you rest in peace Michael. You will truly be missed by all!

I saw Michael and his brothers back in 1979 when I was 11. I've never forgotten that and I'll never forget him. I love and will miss you forever MJ.

...today reminds us once more of the very transient and ephemeral nature of our existence...in all however, only Michael could have left the way he did...

From the Whitaker Family to The Jackson Family: We love Michael so much and our prayer and condolences goes out to his children, family, and fans. I just cant explain how his children is dealing with his loss but they are in great hands with their lovely grandmother! His legacy will forever live!! WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL

Rest in Peace Michael Jackson and Thank you for being such a great entertainer and you have inspired the 80's generation forever!! My prayers are with you and your family!

Micheal we all miss you

The Mormorial was beautiful and very moving. Its the best way to remember a very iconic star!

IMO Paris made us all realise that his children must stay with the Jackson family no question!!!!

How come you havn't ask "Orianthi" to share what was it like to work with Michael Jackson in his final hours ?

An era has gone forever when Michael passed.. We will never have another entertainer like him...He will be dearly missed.....

I am sad to see Michael go, has was truely an inspiration, and he will NEVER be forgotten.

Today's service exceeded all my expectations and I know that Michael was smiling down on all of us. When Paris got up and spoke I just began to cry even more. It was at that moment that I realized that he was really gone.These children look like they are surrounded by so much love. Please keep them in your prayers. My prayers go out to the entire Jackson family. Rest In Peace Michael.

Michael was a talent that transcended gender, and race. The love the world has for Michael is a reflection of how God intended human beings to love each other regardless of our differences. I do want to know why no one is reporting that Michael Jackson's second accuser has come out and said that Michael did nothing to him.

It would be nice if AEG Live would sell copies of the memorial program with part of the proceeds going to help defray the costs of the LAPD services.

I thought it would be more People in the streets.
White People stayed away.
Under tones of Race and Guilty even if found not Guilty.
Where have I seen and heard this before.
America
The part about now they will leave you alone.
Forget it.
They will not do that.The Family did a great job only they should have left the Racist Preachers at home because they always mess things up.The Press hated Elvis alive and in death more then MJ.So The Jackson guy and his shadow Rev (what ever his name is) are wrong about what they said. MJ's Dad and does two are the things that we could have all done without.His Ex Wife would make a heterosexual Man turn Gay.
The Memorial was fit for a King and the Singers sang their hearts out and so they should because he would have done it for them.
I was just left with this feeling that it turned into a Black thing and the Blacks brought MJ back home to them and the whites stayed away.
I'm from Portugal ( this will answer any of the questions you might have as you read this 🙂 ).

MJ was the best dancer, entertainer and the most sharing and kind person i have followed in my life. igrew up with michael and have supported him 100%. i will miss him terribly and we have lost a great person.

To the Jackson Family:
I have been a fan of Michael's for over 20 years. I grew up listening to his music, and still do to this day.
The world has lost a true legend. I am terribly sorry sorry about Michael and my thoughts and prayers are with your family.
There will never be another like him.

Emily Hausman

today needs to be seen and continued as Michael Jackson day.
they need to create this as a holiday in remembering the greatest
entertainer to step on this earth. as we honored dr king
and others, today should be Michael Jackson
day. please mark your calenders and make it
official

I am a 60-year old man who broke down in tears as "We Are the World" was performed at the Memoria. First good cry in over 50 years !

This memorial was a wonderful way to celebrate such a precious life. Michael has touched everyone of us! I have grown up with his music and will miss him greatly!

I'm glad that Paris spoke out for the love of her father. And I'm glad Marlon said that maybe they will leave him alone. Even though I wasn't there in person I cried through most of it. Michael I love you.

Michael served God's purpose for him well ... R.I.P. my friend !!

I want to say if it wasnt for Micheal Jackson my 1st daughter wouldnt have been born.
Im a musicain and we were in tour 1985 in Edmonton Canada doing Micheal Jackson tribute tour and I met my 1st wife and had my 1st Daughter Nyaisha 22 who just Graduated from Howard University, Thank you MJ I love you and the entire Jackson Family including JOE Jackson (:

Thank you

Khayree Shaheed

Michael's passing re-emphasizes how DARK the world is...and, how little HOPE there is, now.. Losing his "light" reminds me of how my eyes have to adjust to the gloom, after I turn-out a lamp, so that I can "see", and navigate. The rotten thing is that my eyes have yet to "adjust" to the grim darkness that surrounds us all...and, I don't think that they ever will, with Michael now gone...

A very fitting & respectful tribute to a kind & gentle soul.
Sad that so many think there will be a fight over the children,
why can't the Jacksons & Debbie Rowe play a part in their lives?
These kids need all the love they can get, having their Mother close
may give them comfort. I hope they will all put these children ahead of
all else & work together to give them a good life.

I think that the death of Michel Jackson changed the world.

MJ is now an angel..............May he find the peace in heaven that he could not find here on earth.

Thank You Larry King and CNN for the wonderful coverage of MJ.

Those songs! That voice! His moves...there will never be anyone like him...his music was a gift for our souls. A beautiful tribute, moving, emotional, 1st class. We miss you.

Please remind Mr. Sharpton that LIVE AID came first and MJ was inspired to write WE ARE THE WORLD and NOT the other way around!

Michael, you were someone that didn't have a chance to have a normal life. Can't believe you are gone. Wish that I could have truly known you... I wish that you were still with us

I cried and I cried and cried and when I thought I had no more tears, Paris Katherine spoke....may God bless these beautiful children.

When I heard the news on June 25, 2009 that Michael Jackson had passed away. I was so mortified. Jun 25 was when my birthday party was 25 years ago and the first time I recieved a new ghetto blaster with a copy of Thriller. I am now 32 and think how ironic it was. My son is 6 and he loves the song thriller he is now trying to do the moon walk. Rest in Peace Michael. Take care

I'm a flight attendant and will never forget the day I had Michael Jackson, Prince and Paris on a commercial flight in 2001. If I hadn't seen them in person with my own eyes...NEVER would have believed it. Life is fleeting...treasure every second.

I believe Michael would have cried tears of joy seeing all the people today sharing their love of him and his legacy.

My condolences to the entire Jackson Family,well done and respectful Memorial. Paris seriously broke my heart. I wish her, Prince and Prince II (Blanket) the best and pray, they can move on without anymore drama. RIP Michael Jackson

The memorial was beautiful! I miss you so much Michael! It doesn't seem real that you're gone. I pray for your family daily. I love you!

Just wanted to say goodbye Micheal me and the rest of the world will miss you very much. I wish I could have seen you before you were gone but poor man in roswell cant afford it. Best wishes and pryars for his kids and his family!!

I never met Michael but his death was a tremendous loss to me and million of fans around the world. I watched every moment of his beautiful memeorial service today and I was so deeply moved by the testimony of those who knew Michael personally. I cried as if I had lost a dear friend, a brother. I can only imagine how painful this is for those who caleed him friend, brother, son, or father. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the entire Jackson family, especially his children.

larry,it was a nice service,but sad one, but we have to remember that his children are hurting more than anyone.where were we all ,when michael was hurting and sad ,lonely. he,s in gods care, he cant hurt any more.god should only judge him now, not the peolpe of the world.michael was the best , he will live on, just like elvis does. god bless his children. michael rest in peace, i pray you will sing your heart out in heaven.michael gave us his best,now lets give michael our best, love,peace , caring in the world. peace and love michaelllllllllllllllllll, jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

We are all deeply saddened of michael jacksons passing we will allways miss you

I was so moved by Larry King's comments immediately following the memorial service today which made the words of Congressman Pete King all the more repulsive. The story of Pete King vs. the King of Pop is one of the worst of us vs. our better angels. bit.ly/qnsJz

Michael Jacksons memorial was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My heart goes out to his family and his children. Paris' speech got me the most. I could feel her pain. That baby is hurting for the loss of her father. He will always live in the worlds heart forever. Never to be forgotten!!!!

Was that the first time his daughter Paris' face was show in public?

Michael Jackson now rules in heaven & earth as the King o f Pop to be remembered forever.

Michael Jackson – "King of Pop" is in Transition, he will take a small break and will continue to do what he always did – "Entertain" the only difference is the place has changed from "Planet Earth" to "Heaven". Now he is going to entertain all our beloved who moved to Heaven. He is going to sing and dance with the Angels. Long Live MJ. We all loved you. – Ganesh/Mrudula.

now you can sing and dance with the angels. there is more work for you there. i miss you. i can't believe MJ is not here anymore.

I sat in my living room crying for 2 hours and 15 mins start to finish, it was the worst. I love you Michael forever.

During the benediction the prayer ended in the Name of Jesus. Jesus received the glory for the whole world to see. May God Bless the Jackson family. May the Jacksons know that God's grace is sufficient and in weakness God's strength is made perfect.

Michael's music has always been and forever will be an inspiration to me!

What a beautiful, dignified spiritual service. Thank you Michael for the magic, the memories and most of all the music. Rest in Peace.

MJ's music wasn't my favorite, but watching today made me cry and made me a fan!

hi Larry, Michael will be so missed , thank youfor sharing with us this beautiful gathering.

I cried so much and still crying my eyes and heart hurt!

I just want to thank Brooke Shields for sharing her wonderful memories of growing up with Michael Jackson. We all grew up at the same time and now I feel like I have the good fortune of knowing both of you a little better. God Bless You .

Thank michael for all you have done in the world.

What a moving tribute! I will never forget the love and emotion in todays farewell to Michael Jackson. Tonight, the heavens will shine brighter and his star will light the way as he leaves behind a tremendous legacy to us all. I loved him from the time I first heard his voice. I tapped my fingers and danced to his music relishing his dance moves on stage.

I felt his enormous sadness too. I felt his deep desire to just be Michael...a guy who could walk down the street without the mobs, the press, the chaos. Oh yes, I will never forget him! I pray for his lovely children and family to find strength and healing in the presence of his voice, his sweet smile and his awesome talent which will undoubtedly linger for eternity.

Michael, You are my inspiration, my idol, and my hero. Through what I have learned from you, I will give everything I have in order to continue achieving your dream of making this world a better place. I am saddened that people are JUST now realizing how much of an angel you were and still are. Rest in Peace for you were too great for this earth...You deserve with every honesty in my heart the true and pure love that you will be given in Heaven. I love you so much.

He will always be remembered the tears we shared was for you...may your soul rest in piece we love you

Larry,

Everything about the memorial was EXTRA-ORDINARY. Larry and we really enjoyed you at the end when you had your chance report your on personal experience about the event.

Love u Larry. u r the best

Thank you CNN for great coverage from start to finish for those people not fortunate enough to get tickets to this memorable event in our lifetime.
Michael will always be the King of Pop there is no other and nor will there be another that will equal or surpass his accomplishments in our lifetime.
We hope you're enjoying the peace God's given you and we'll see you in the next life...
Gone toooooooo sooooon...
Love peace and happiness...

AND THE SON?

I have been watching this memorial sevice all day, it has been so sad for me as well as the rest of the world. My greatest memories of him was when I was a teenager, that I had such a crush on him, that I found a boy (boyfriend) that look so much like him and his name was Michael, since he was so far for me to reach at least 'I had a look alike. I am also so happy that even thought my daughters once told me "Mom, what you have those LP of MJ (Thriller & Off the wall) my favorites), he doesn't sing anymore and they don't make LP's anymore", I said to them because that he was my first love (crush). Now they want the LP's. This event brought tears to my eyes, ever since June 25, I'm on my first step, (denial) To Michael Jackson, I'll miss you so much, you forever will be in my heart and by the way say Hello to Jesus for me, and I'll see you soon.

Even though I am still young and I didn't get to know and enjoy the Michael Jackson that most people got to know and love, I did get to enjoy and love the Michael that he IS today. I was shocked when I heard that he had passed and I thought I was being p'unked. I truely wish only the best for the Jackson family, and Michaels kids. Today watching the memorial and seeing Paris talk about her father brought tears to my eyes and made me call my father and thank him for ALL that he has done for me. R.I.P Michael Jackson the King of Pop, you will be missed. And this is not good-bye this is hello.

Larry, God Bless Michael. Back in the late 70's, The Jackson 5 played Circle Star Theater, in San Carlos, Ca; we fed the family; and were honored to play softball with Michael and the family in a local park. Great normal experience. God bless, Susan

i love Michael he like family and he will always be in my heart there will never be another he my hero
God will strength the family

My heart breaks over the emotional response from Paris

Michael was an Angel here on the Earth....now he's an Angel up in the sky looking down to us and he smiles and says Peace and Love You All.

A man, a father who shared his laughter, his love, and his soul with the world so that we all could be together and be happy.

I love you Michael for being yourself and being the most giving entertainer. I don't think it's said enough that you gave us dreams, passion, and love for who we are and who we want to be.

He taught us to never give up, to never let go, and to always reach for our dreams.

No matter what anyone thinks, we are all beautiful and all wonderful and he makes us feel that way through his music and his conviction.

Enjoy your permanent tour, Michael...bring happiness to the Angels.

My condolences to the Jackson Family and especially the children...became a fan with "Off the Wall", "Thriller". Although 4 years older than MJ, it wasn't until the "80's, that I became a fan. I danced to all his music in Maui at the hottest nightclubs "Spats", "Banana Moon". Danced imitating MJ and latest moves, God Bless You and your Family. ALOHA....

MY HEART IS BLEEDING WITH HURT.WORDS STILL CANT DESCRIBE THIS MOMENT.LOVE

God Bless the Jackson family. I know it is hard, I as well lost my father.

mciheal jackson you will always be in our hearts

My heart goes out to the Jackson family, especially to Mother Jackson. No mother, especially one who's 80 yrs old, expects to bury their child. I know her pain because I had to bury mine at the age of 35. No young child expects to lose a parent and my tears couldn't help but flow when young Paris spoke. It was such a moving homegoing and no amount of negative publicity will ever negate the legacy Michael leaves.

ITS SO HEARTBREAKING TO THE THE JACKSON FAMILY AND TO ALL OF HIS FANS.I REALLY THINK THAT THE MEMORIAL WAS REALLY SWEET AND EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS AND I MEAN ALWAYS REMEMBER THE KING OF POP!PARIS JACKSON is so sweet to express her self about her daddy!what she said really hiy me !!LONG LIVE THE KING OF POP!!!WOOOOOH!!

A classy, elegant tribute well deserving to the one and only King of Pop. We love you Michael.

My children lost their father suddenly at ages 3 and 1/2 and 7. They are strong beautiful children. They are their father's legacy.

a beautiful person inside and out, period. such a loss.

What a memorial! It was a beautiful celebration of his life and legacy.
We lost a true legend, MJ will be in our hearts forever. We love you Michael!

I was stunned when I heard Michael was gone. I cried alot and will miss seeing him perform, he was just magic. I wish I had met him in person but I am glad to hear the wonderful things about him. I love you Michael. May God bless your family and lighten their broken hearts. I will pray for the family.

You'll live forever in our hearts Michael. We Love and Miss You! You truly did help heal the world thru your humanity and love, your music touches everyone, and no one could have been a better example of Christ's work. May you finally get the peace and rest you deserved here, there.

what a wonderful farewell god bless you mj may you rest in peace

Michael Jackson will always be missed. Watching Paris speak about her daddy is so sad and heartbreaking. My heart breaks for them.

My heart is in pieces! I will miss michael forever!

Awesome Memorial!! Michael may not be here physically but he will live on forever!! We lost a great man and God has gained a great angel!! I love you Michael!

Michael Jackson was truly one of the most amazing artists of any time I can think of, because he more effectively showed what the purpose of art is than maybe any other I have lived to see: To express what many of us cannot in a way that brings us out of the despair of our realities, and gives us a temporary respite from pain.

Maybe Michael as a human was terribly flawed, or mentally or physically ill, or confused, or damaged beyond repair. And maybe not. Maybe he was just a pawn in the game of human greed and the tendency to build people up to watch them topple from the pedestal too high for any mere human to balance upon. It is not for the people who didn't know him intimately to decide.

But you know what is the most tragic thing about Michael Jackson's death to me? Right now, he lies cold and lifeless at a mortuary, where he can't entertain us, he can't play with or protect his children, he can't sing for his supper, and he is not conscious to see a lot of people mourning and celebrating him who, two weeks ago wouldn't have admitted how much he affected their lives.

Very few people, until he was truly gone forever, seemed to want to show that although his life was beyond controversial, and although we will probably never understand who he really was, some of us (once again, even if for a few days) seem to appreciate what his essence was: love, pain, joy, passion, confusion, compassion and the true human condition, as cruel as it can often be; those things that he expressed in his lyrics, his voice, his almost preternatural way of moving.

As tragic as the timing of so much of the world coming back to once again admit his gifts is, I feel one bittersweet advantage today, for Michael, the human being. He is no longer conscious to see so many people call him names and judge and tear him apart, and do what we tend to do to anyone we feel has become "ours", simply because they have, through their art, given us a mirror, and have shown us, humans, all of us, in all of our beauty and ugliness.

I hope your own tremendous lifelong pain has disappeared, Michael, and that wherever your essence and energy is, that it lives on to show us a more decent manner of treating others, famous or not, and that the world's energy and interest toward your memory today gives you even half of the comfort and respite you have shared with the world in your life here on earth.

It pains me to think if Michael had known how many people truly adore him, maybe he would still be here today.

I was so thrilled that I was able to watch the Memorial Service on TV. I thank the family for sharing him with us worldwide. I thought the service was beautiful and so appropriate. I learned things I didn't know about Michael and didn't realize that he and Brooke Shields were friends from such an early age. I feel like I saw history today and send my heartfelt sympathy to the Jackson family. My husband died when my youngest was 7 years old. I can relate to what the children are going through and Paris said it best. I'm so glad his music will live on and I'm grateful that we will have the music. He has a close family and they are strong and will be there for the children. Thanks Larry for being there and sharing with us your thoughts.

Michael, It was a pleasure working with you, taking you and Marlon to dancing lessons and your kindness to my children. Your tribute today was worthy of your amazing talent. We love you.

I just want to say that today God gave Michael his "vindication". As I looked at the response from the world it was a sign to us all that God was saying this is my child and though they tried to bring him down, in the end God made the greatest statement through his fans. No one I mean no one can humanly touch people the way he did except it be a supernatural love that can only come from The Most High God. I saw God allowing Michael to take a last bow before the world and the world responding in a standing ovation. He will always be loved.

Toria

Im out of tears ,go in peace Mike.

MJ – you are the greatest entertainer ever!

What a "BEAUTIFUL" Memorial to an "ANGEL" that walked amognst us in our lifetime. May the WORLD OF PEOPLE come together and help and respect one another with such"GRACE" my heart is sad, but my "SOUL" is inspired even more...."May GOD BLESS HIS CHILDREN"

Too bad people couldn't show Michael all this love while he was still alive...we all (now) feel the torment & anguish that the King of Pop had to endure for far too many years leading up to his death. RIP Michael.

I just want to say that i will never forget about MJ he was the greatest of all time. I remember when i was about 6 or 7 years old I had an imaginary friend his name was Michael Jackson and all of the Jackson family. I want to say thank you Michael Jackson for your hard work.

I grew up listening to Michael Jackson's music...not a faithful fan but liked the music. During the turbulent times I, like a lot of others, was skeptical but also had reservations about his guilt. There was just something there that didn't add up to make him guilty. Thru the years since then, being busy raising a family and not listening to much music, I hadn't heard much about him. When he I heard he had passed away I was, as everyone else, shocked and sad. I too lost a brother very suddenly and unexpectedly and could understand a little of what the family was feeling. I watched the memorial today and I have to say I was so impressed at the dignity, respectfulness, reverance that the crowd showed inside and outside the arena. No matter what anyone believes about him.....he was a son, brother, cousin, uncle, and first and foremost a DADDY that is no longer with his family. They now have to learn to live without his presence and rely on their memories of him and the good times they shared with him. We have to remember this man was a human being. It's so easy to put celebrities in a higher category and forget that he AND his family are humans with REAL feelings and sorrow. I saw that today and was so touched by the entire service......may he FINALLY rest in peace.

R.I.P. Michael. THANK YOU for starting something. We love you.

Iam just 51 and michael was growing up at the same time i was. I was beat during these growing yrs and i have the physical scars to proove it. although my body was tortured, my heart was filled with hope and joy due to the wonderful music Miichael Jackson and his brothers put out. There never was a time that the music did not put a smile upon my heart and my face. I survived my childhood because of the Jacksons and Gods love. To this day Michael makes me smile and I am reminded of the few things that brought great joy to me in my youth, The Music!. Thank you "Jacksons" May Gods grace and Love fall upon you during these sad days. May God bless you in ALL that you do, Rest in Peace Micheal, sing a song in heaven for me. Love, mare

The king of pop may have been silenced, but he will be with us forever.

Michael Jackson was an icon and despite his issues, you can not deny this man was truly America's King!

I watched from 7 am till now...It was a wonderful dedication to the "KING of POP" .....I cannot seem to get enough of Michael Jackson..His children are beautiful and we can see Michael did a wonderful job raising them..Horay Michael !!!!

My deepest condolences to the Jackson Family, and I am very proud for MJ and all he has done for people around the world. The Celebration today is Unforgetable, I cried so much. The world watch a little boy turned into A Man, A Father, A Hero & Idol, who has touched us all in so many ways. I've learned so much about MJ today, that I didn't even knew before. I love you Michael, You Will Always be in my Heart. Love from Canada

As much as we loved his music and talents, this nation turned their back on MJ, Now he is gone and we praise him. Rest in Peace and may your Moomwalk over the stars last forever

There is a scripture, "And a child shall lead them" and lead them Paris did today.. The words that follow, "He shall not judge by appearance or heresay".. Paris knew, a little girl showed the world what she knew all along... Her Father was all about love, maybe now we will get it.... Mac's Mom

I would like to thank the Jackson Family for letting us say goodbye to this amazing and talented person. No one gave him the credit that he so well deserved. As for his children, they had a amazing father who I loved too, Rev Al Sharpon said it all about Michael. My thoughts and prayers go to Michaels family. Michael will be missed!!!

Thank you, Michael, for providing such a wonderful soundtrack to my life. I miss you, and wish I'd had the chance to see you live just one more time!

I wish to thank the Jackson family for allowing me to take part in the memorial for Michael! It was a fabuous, emotional deeply moving service and I'm so happy I was able to sit and watch it. I cried, I laughed and thought that Michael would have loved the service. I always believed in Michael and may he rest in peace! He will be missed but never forgotten!

michael was a part of us and we in our own way were a part of him. thank you for all you gave us and may your spirit rest now.

Aloha Michael Jackson...Danced to all your music in the nightclubs on Maui, "Spats", "Banana Moon". Loved the way you moved and your Lyrics. God Bless You and Your Family, esp., the Lil' Ones. Aloha & Mahao, Peggy, Kailua Kona, Hawaii

What a Wonderful Memorial for an Extroidinary Man. He's singing with the Angels now. And his children are beautiful. I wish the family peace and love fro the bottom of my heart.

Michael's funeral was amazing. I just couldn't keep my eyes dry. I think he would be so proud of his little girl. I am just trying to say that I love him & he has made a big impact on my life. I miss you Michael..

Never a fan of the Rev. Al Sharpton, today I found his words brilliant, significant and healing. Thank you Reverend.

The loss of Michael Jackson is truely a tragedy, words cannot describe my feelings of sadness.

Michael did a lot of good for a lot of people. We don't hear any of that from the media...and that's a real sad state of our country.

We miss u Micheal Jackson. You are a great legend. The only thing I have to say to you is this...... Never never can say Goodbye.... NO NO NO. I love you.

I walked in to my mothers house to check up on her this afternoon as I usually do several times a week. I walked in to find her in tears. The Jackson funeral was on the television. Paris had just finished speaking about her father. That beautiful child had just reduced my mother to tears with her declaration of love for her father. Now my mom was no Michael Jackson fan. She is an 80 year old white Southern woman who thought Michael Jackson ws awful and vulgar. She said “I never realized what a good man and father he must have been to those children.” Thank you Paris for allowing us all to see the man behind the mask.

A blessed soul, always Loved & believed in you...

A part of me is gone forever. We love you Micheal!

The children all look like Michael in one way or another especially Blanket. Paris actually looks like she could be the daughter of MJ & Lisa Marie Presley instead of Debbie Rowe.....he has beautiful kids but then again the Jackson's are a nice looking family.....

I would like to know where Quincy Jones was today? He was a big collaborator of Michael's...where was he?

For African Americans of my generation, it is clear now that the Jacksons have been to us what the Kennedys have been to others, the closest thing to Royalty.

My prayers are with the family. He was truly the greatest entertainer of all time, now he is in the grace of God. We will never forget what he has done for music and the world. I learned at an early age how important he was to the worldand myself. With all my love.

Larry:

I thought todays memorial was beyond first class and your ongoing coverage has been the best of what I have seen.

One thing that I was hoping to also see today was a full song, or at least parts of a few songs of his recent rehearsal to quite the critics and show them that MJ was still performing above expectations.

Also, it would have been nice to have seen a small part of the original "We Are the World" video before transitioning into the on-stage one.

micheal jackson was a good singer he was the king of pop his son inspire my camp friend he going to be miss all time

Michael was a marvelous talent with a heart of gold. I tip my hat and wave my gloved hand to him forever.

Today's service was such a marvelous tribute to MJ. His music always seemed to be there during defining moments in my life. I'm a few years older than he, so he and his brothers were always there. May he rest in peace; his parents and siblings...thank you for sharing the gift of Michael with the world. For his children...you were blessed to have a father as wonderful as he... God will be holding you close and guiding you through these very difficult days and nights.

Larry.. Mr. Jackson was judged, penalized and condemned.. Tragically, sadly.. Recognition and celebration came to late for his greatness. Your closing comments were chock full of negative media undertone .. Most unappreciated!

There will never be another artist like michael jackson.

Keep up the fair coverage Larry.. They say you can tell by a man's treatment of the defenseless what they are made of and in that measure Michael Jackson was made of iron!!

It's not how you die it's how you live

HE CAME, HE SAW, HE CONQUERED. RIP MICHEAL JACKSON
THANK YOU MRS. JACKSON FOR PRESENTING YOUR SON TO THE WORLD I COMEND YOU FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

My sincere condolences to the Jackson family. I was glued to news all morning waiting for the Memorial.............I cried thru the whole memorial. It was very touching and I haven't cried that long in ages. Sad to see such a talented and loved one leave this earth so soon. I will always remember Michael as that little boy singing his heart out to "I'll be there". My prayers go out to his sons and daughter.

WAY more positive than negative about the man. If only that could be said about all of us.

Michael will always be remembered in my life ,for he was born 1day before me,I ill miss him dearly,he was a rare gem

Micheal is the heart of my heart and will always be. The service on Michael Jackson may have been a farewell from this life. I still can't stop crying; how do we let him go? He will never be gone from my heart.

Paris was so brave. Her dad is smiling down on her

Well, my heart is very heavy! I pray that God will receive glory through MJ's death and his family find comfort in knowing how very much God loves them.

I am a big fan and will never tire of Michael's great works.

Here's a shocker: My brother theorizes that Katherine...Michael's beloved mother...with her strong religious convictions...may have requested that Michael be interred soon after the second autopsy!

We were told that there would be a private memorial for the family, this morning at 8am. Came 8am, and we were told that there was a memorial for the familhy...LAST NIGHT!

We were told that, after the Staples Center memorial service, Michael would not return to Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills; and, there has been conjecture and speculation about "Where is Michael's body?"

Bottom line...There might very well have been no Michael in the casket! He has been interred, and we may NEVER know where he rests...

For the sake of privacy and Michael's preference for seclusion and peace...this theory makes sense...

May you now finally rest in peace. Thank you for the memories and what you did for the world.

Michael you made the world a better place. May your soul rest in peace.

I watched the whole memorial and I cried non- stop. Even though I'm young, I have spent my whole life growing up, listening, dancing, and celebrating Michael Jackson. The ceremony was beautiful and done very well. My thoughts and prayers are with Michael's entire family. I cried really bad when Jermaine sang, when he spoke at the end, when Marlon spoke, and deffinately when Michael's young, beautiful daughter, Paris spoke. All three of Michael's children are extremely gorgeous and Blanket's hair looks just like his father's. Michael was taken from us too soon and he will live in my heart forever!!! I hope that when I die, I hope to met Michael because he is truly my hero and my favorite singer that lived on Earth! God rest his soul and Rest in Peace, The King of Pop and The Greatest Enterainer that ever lived. I will cry about him forever, but I still can't believe he is gone for us because he truly looked amazing over a week ago. I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON!!!

I count my blessings when I hear Michael's lyrics. I am grateful for the memories when I watch his dance steps. Mostly, I am honored to live in an era that has allowed my soul to be touched by a man who had the strength of dream. Creativity cannot be measured nor can the depths of Michael's humanity. Let us now dry a collective tear as we realize we will never see such a comet pass this way again-but we can continue his legacy as we practice peace. God Bless you and yours as you are wrapped in an angel's wings!

I'll never forget growing up with "The Jackson Five" and waiting for "Rockin Robin" to come on the a.m. radio. It was my favorite song back then and I still love it to this day. I love all animals as did Michael.
Any time we were in the car and that song came on, I would put my ear to to the back speakers of my parents old Buick Regal and start singing.
It's a GREAT memory...

I am so deeply moved watching the memorial now on video. I was at work today, so I did not see it live, but I felt like I shoul d not be there and I was really missing something that we will never see again, I feel like I lost a member of my family, as I grew up with Michael, three years older. I saw him in concert, as a member of the Jackson 5, in concert . Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was special, but his greatest works came after that. I don:t hink many of us realized what he meant to us until he was gone, and that is so sad. I pray that we as a people will continue to lift him up, no matter what the tests say, he was a very special person and endured things that we can never imagine. Society broke him, but cannot tske away what he meant to us. We love you Michael. Rest in peace.

I was very moved today while watching this wonderful tribute to Michael Jackson. So many individuals came together and showed so many people all over this planet just what Michael meant to them all. I for one have loved this talented man since he first came on the scene. His music and his family have shown the world that you can fulfill your dreams with love in your heart and hard work. I will never forget him or his music. I will sing and dance to it all until I can no more. Thank you Jackson family for sharing this beautiful gift with us. To his children, it is quite apparent that your were his truest treasures.

I used to think as MJ as a child molester, just because everyone else labeled him that way. Now when he died and I see documentaries of him, I know he isn't a molester at all, he is an awesome guy and I wish I could have known him personally. I think MJ has gained a lot more fans now that people understand him better and they have the time to LEARN about him. I still can't believe that Michael is dead and when I was watching the memorial this morning, when Paris talked, it really set in. I wish they would stop playing that clip =(

Rest in peace Michael and show everyone in heaven the moonwalk!!!
<3

Michael Jackson, a legend. Gone to soon!

Prince & Princess Cornish
Nassau, The Bahamas

Being the same age as Michael's eldest child, I can imagine the pain their children are going through. Mr. Jackson has influenced me greatly ad I feel as if I've known him forever.

I haven't heard or seen anyone mention that the performers behind Jennifer Hudson used American Sign Language in their choreography....another tribute to Michael Jackson's sensitivity to all.

In spite of nay-sayers like Peter King, Michael Jackson will be remembered for years to come. His most lasting contribution was more than a heart of gold...but the heart of God in action.

Michael will never be forgotten, and his music will always be a la mode.

We will always love you Michael. My sympathy to all.

Michael, You will always be in our hearts!!! Thank you FOREVER!!!

Larry, were you able to feel Michael's spirit in The Staples Center? Here at home, I know the kids and I felt it.

I am a longtime Michael Jackson fan and I am so impressed with the tribute that the Jackson family held for Michael. It was so dignified and beautiful, and like everyone, I was so moved by the words of Paris Katherine. Michael must have done something right to raise such precious children.

I will miss Michael – He was the the worlds best Entertainer. God Bless him

Beautiful, beautiful, memorial service! My heart still aches, but it makes me smile to know that you're in a better place! Love you, love you, love you...at last, you are at peace!

...why do we simply appreciate people more in death? Michael could have done with some of the love we are seeing now...those hypocrites! I live in a generation where there has been a Nelson Mandela...Barack Obama and Michael Jackson...I think I have lived!

it is very hard to say goodbye to the "King of Pop". Michael will always live in our hearts forever. Michael was not only a legend he was an icon, someone who gave back. My love goes out to the entire Jackson family and his children. My Michael Jackson memory is when i was five years old i fell in love with Michael Jackson. Thank you Micael for your love and support may you LIVE FOREVER. "I'M ALIVE AND HERE FOREVER": Michael Jackson
WE LOVE YOU MICHAEL,
RAVEN AND THE BLOCKER FAMILY

A beautiful and touching memorial fit for a king. MJ will always remain in our hearts and soul. I love him! We need an MJ holiday!

I have been a huge fan of Michael Jackson since I can remember. I will never forget when I first heard Thriller in the Safeway parking lot, and then I went home trying to do his dance moves. Michael, you were amazing! We all love and miss you! <3

A beautiful and moving memorial. It will remain with me forever, as will Michael and his music. I love you MJ.

MJ=Very Talented, Very Loving, Very Giving & Definitely VERY MISSED

MJ will be MISSED!! As his music will LIVE ON!! God Bless the Jackson Family

Larry, I think that MJ would be so humbled to see this outporing of love which took place today at his memorial service. Everything was done in good taste, as it really epitomized what this man was really about. He was a true, so multi-talented American musical icon. He was a major innovator in music, dance and entertainment. He was so deserving of a memorial of the magnitude that took place today. What fabulous musical performances!! MJ would have loved to see his brothers on stage performing in his honor. MJ was a person that never hurt anyone in any way, but this greedy, putrid world took adavantage of someone who was different and therefore was an easy target for the leeches of this world to take advantage of, some of whom would sell their own mother's eyeballs for a million bucks or even less.
My heart goes out to MJ's family, friends and most of all his beautiful children. Little Paris is such a couragious and mature little girl. Her words were so moving and demonstrate what type of person her dad was. FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES COMES TRUTH AND SINCERE LOVE.
MJ Bleesed us with great music and performances which we will all have to appreciate for eternity. We will really miss his genius in music, his sincere generosity and all of the good he did for so many children.

Thomas in Pennsylvania.

Say what you will about Michael Jackson, after seeing his children today, there is not a tiny, shred of doubt he was a terrific father. Watch and see... his three children will become outstanding contributors to this world.

Could they restore Neverland and make it a type of retreat for sick children as Michael intended it to be? I feel that would serve as a great dedication in Michael's name...

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Jackson family.
May the knowledge that Michael is in the loving arm's of God give you some comfort during this difficult time. May God Bless each and every one of you.

Michael was such a gentle soul, who will be dearly missed by all.

Watching the memorial today, I cried more than once, so moving were the eulogies and performances. Michael would have been overwhelmed by the love shown him today, he would have been overjoyed.

May Michael rest in peace, and sing with all the angels.

Hopefully Michael now knows that his fans never left him. We are still here and always were.

2DAY WAS A V3RY SP3CIAL DAY FOR 3VERYONE ND WHY??? IS B3CAUSE MJ'S FUN3RAL WAS 2DAY ND IT WAS A B3AUTIFUL FUN3RAL ND IT WAS TH3 B3ST 2 HOURS ND 15 MIN.

MJ u are in a better place now, your suffering is over now.... May God bless u and ur family , we misssssssss u sooo much........ Rest in Peace... .Ameen..... .Fans from Pakistan......

I Believe that this Memorial service was touching, but also reminded us of how easily a person can lose there life. I realized how much of an influence Jackson was to the world, and his legacy will live with us forever. RIP Michael Jackson ~@~

It was appropriate. I just wish he was alive. I just wish he was not gone.

it was a somber sureal day.....
watching the memorial over and over with the very touching tributes from his friends and family left me with a days worth of tears..
Im glad that senator came forward to state that the senate is going to make a resolution to honor MJ permenantly for his talents and humanitarian efforts...
MJ deserves our love..
he gave us his..
Pray that he is sitting in awe of another person who gave his life and love...Jesus Christ

Michael will always be remembered in my life and heart ,for he was born 1day before me on in august of 1958, Their will never be another like him

To Michael Jackson: Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away...He will be greatly missed.

The only thing i can say is he didn't get the respect when he was alive, well this is the moment that we have to remember. MJ was truly a gift from God. He had a purpose in this world and done a lot for the world. Rest in Peace

TO MICHAEL JACKSON CHILDREN AND MOTHER AND FATHER ALSO BROTHERS AND SISTERS STAY STRONG IN GOD BECAUSE MICHAEL IS WITH HIM NOW AND MICHAEL WAS A GIFT FROM OUR MAKER BE PROUD AND THANKFUL. MICHAEL HAD A PURPOSE HERE AND HE DID WHAT HE WAS PUT HERE TO DO, IT IS SAD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE COULD NOT SEE PAST THERE NOSE BUT LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO JESUS CHRIST, MICHAEL WAS A ANGEL GODS ANGEL MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. REST IN PEACE MICHAEL LOVE TO MICHAEL AND FAMILY.

i hope all those who called you names and made fun of you are paying for it now. love you from utah

I Will miss you, and i love you, cried all day today, something is missing and my heart hurts. R.I.P MJ I love you

What a great tribute to the BEST Entainer ever....maybe now ALL the liars will leave him alone. His daughter was magnificent in making him a REAL to us today.

This was such a beautiful memorial service. I'm lost, confused...I can't find the words to describe the way I felt about his passing. We will always, always love you Michael. Without you, things would of been different. Thank you for being the best, and never giving up. You are my idol. Love you.

Larry, I agree with you, this was a memorial beffitting a King and he was a King. There were so many highlights. It was classy, dignified, easy moving, emotional, and fun all at the same time, just like Brooke Shields described Michael. I know there would be people who would do and say anything about MJ, but like Dr. Martin Luther King said, "I have seen the promised land, I may not get there with you........., we as a people will get to the promised land." Michael is in the promised land and there is nothing anyone can say and do to hurt Michael Jackson ever again.

Thank you Michael ,for making a positive difference in the World,for leaving a lasting legacy,igniting our spirit and touching our soul.Your music and your message live in our hearts forever.You transcended time and space and the limits of reality and taught us that we are part of a greater whole; that we are all one.May you find peace in the next life.I Love You .

What can we say? It will take some time for us to realise Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, the racial bridge breaker is gone. At least that,s how I feel. And this will only come about whenever the tears will stop rolling down my face.

It is so sad that Michael had to endure the nasty media all of these years. It doesn't say much about Americans to persecute someone over and over again AFTER they had been found NOT GUILTY in a UNITED STATES COURT. So sad, I felt so sorry for Michael. Please leave him alone now. I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!

The world felt the pain that was felt from the love of his child as his daughter spoke. I hope that now they will respect and leave those children in peace. It is hard to even imagine what is to loose a parent at such a young age. I pray for those children so that their heart will not ache. Unbelieveable.. how such a gifted person has left us in the physical world but his spirit and music will always be with us.

I am so ashamed of myself for thinking what I have though about him.. I grew up with his music but in the past 10 years he just got stranger & stranger but today when I saw that little girl cry & have the hurt because of her father my heart melted. My daughter is 11 & just because I may do things differently than others she still loves me & what little Paris must be going through along with her brothers just kills me.. i pray to god that their no good mother doesn't get them & they stay with the family that loves them & didn't sell them off

Michael, You were magic in motion. Thank you for taking our breath away time after time afer time... You will be missed! Love You!

This memorial showed the purest of human emotions of all who loved him...this is the same purity that he exuded, lived, and gave to the world, he will be sorely missed.

I live here in Asia. My deepest condolences to his family.
Michael, you are like 'oxygen' all over the world.
Your music and legacy will live forever in Asia and all over the world.

RIP, my idol.

The memorial was very classy,well organized and most importantly-graciously represents the love the world has for MJ. Keep up the wonderful support to the Jackson family.
Just as MJ will never be replaced neither will you Larry.

Today's memorial for MJ was one of a kind for the greatest ever.

I'm at such a loss today. Michael you were a true gift to the world. Its sill hard to believe you're gone. But you'll never ever be forgotten. We love you!! Thank you and I know God's looking after you. May God truly bless you and your family. God bless your children!!!

i believe that micheal jackson was buried at a earlier date. because why would they cart him around in a casket like that and take him to a hotel

I just have to say...Michael Jackson was truly the greatest entertainer ever. My family and I loved him so much. I even have two Michael Jackson T-shirts saying things like "Thanks for all of the Thrills!" and the date that he lived and the day he left us. He will be remembered by the world forever. I know I loved him. My heart goes out to the family. The brothers, sisters, father, mother, everyone else in that family. Especially the children. Paris showed everyone how much she cared. This day definitely goes down in the history book. A great, honoring day. A great person. A great Michael Jackson. Thank you for being here on this Earth, Michael. You changed the world.

Brilliant and touching tribute to the greatest entertainer ever. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and children and God bless.

what an HONOR to share this earth with such a wonderful, loving, adorable and brilliant human being. Jermaine was right - the world was NOT ready for someone like Michael. We loved his moves, his voice, his unlimited funding for charities, but some of us couldn't see past the tabloids. Some of us couldn't fathom the idea of spreading unconditional love, so we turned to accusations of "pedophile" and "child molestor" because it's just too hard for some of us to understand having a heart that big and gold. What a terrible loss for the whole world, and my thoughts are with his family and children. I hope he had SOME IDEA of how much love there was for him. I wish I could say we should be nicer to the next one, but we all know there won't be another. RIP

Micheal was the best entertainer alive, he changed and helped the world with his songs

Wow, The King of Pop left us, but we are left with his Music, his Dance, his Memory. He will Live FOREVER, in our hearts, our minds and our souls.

Rest In Peace MJ.

After fearfully watching Michael Jackson's Public Memorial Service, I want to compliment The Jackson Family and AEG Live, LLC for a phenominal ceremony and tribute to the "Greatest Entertainer" of my/our time. Many blessings to The Jackson Family and especially to Prince Michael l, Paris Katherine and Prince Michael ll. You children are truly blessed to have had such a wonderful father. Remembering your father always!! GOD Bless You and Smile!

I only became a fan in the later years. I was pleased today to see the focus on what made this man such a great person, rather than what twisted words could be created to sell a magazine. He will truely be missed and I hope we learn from what he offered. He not only talked the talk, but walked the walk. We are richer for haviing heard him.

The World Not Only Lost
An Artist ... It Lost A Friend.
Even When We Gave Up On Him ...
And Gave Into The Rumors ...
Said Horrible Things ...
And Joked About It ...
He Never Gave Up On Us ...
But Gave Us His All.
He Will Never Be Forgotten ...
Rest In Peace
MICHAEL Joseph JACKSON

The Memorial Service for Michael Jackson was Fantastic. The Performances were fantastic and I believe Michael Would have been very proud. The whole service was very sad but I truly broke when Michael's daughter Paris spoke. She truly loved her father and she really wanted to show it. I wish the best to the family right now. I also wish the best for the kids. Katherine Jackson diserves those children right now and May the King of Pop Finally Rest In Peace. We Love You Michael.

MJ you will be greatly missed, but will live in our hearts forever.

I want to thank CNN for a great coverage, I grew up listening to Michael and he will forever be in my heart! May Michael R.I.P , he was the KING WE LOVE ! ALL OF US IN SOUTH CAROLINA WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU MICHAEL YOU WERE A WONDERFUL MAN!

Michael was a true blessing and gift from God.

Beautiful tribute and memorial to an amazing person and talent. My heart literally ached. I cried throughout. May God bless and receive Michael Jackson.

michael jackson make me feel it was ok to be different

Congressman Pete King owes the family an apology..His comments were very crass and uneeded..We all know Michael was innocent..Is this the king of congressman we vote into office ????

what a fitting and honorable tribute. The best part of it all was Paris letting the world know that Michael was a great father. I believe that no other moment in the ceremony was more important. I wonder if Paris realizes what her emotional words will mean to her father and his family. With all the negative things said about her father, I am thankful to Paris for saying the most important thing one could say about their parent. Michael obviously raised an intelligent loving and beautiful daughter. God bless each one of his children and the whole Jackson family.

I thought they did a very good job on the memorial and enjoyed a very good majority of it. Brooke was wonderful. The video tribute was great, but the most intense part and what I thought was the best, was when his daughter Paris spoke and called him daddy. I lost it at that point, not that I wasn't already tearing up through the whole thing anyways. I feel so fortunate to have seen him perform live during the Bad tour in 1990, it was amazing. There are several days in your life you knew where you were when it happened, this is one of them, at least for me. He will be even bigger than he was before. He spanned all generations, ages and continents. The dancing and music has an influence on today's artists. There will never be anyone this big again.

No matter what anybody says, Michael will always be remembered for his musical and philanthropic contributions to the world.

I was deeply moved watching the Michael Jackson memorial. Michael Jackson will always be the greatest entertainer of all time. He touched so many lives through his music and his magnificent talent. I grew up listening to the Jackson Five. I was so amazed watching Michael's talent in dancing and singing at such a young age. Then when he went solo, his talents and achievements just soared to greater heights. Rest In Peace, Michael. Your legacy will go on forever through your music!

Michael opened the door for all people to be one through his music and kindness. His charity and compassion for others were immeasurable. Farewell Michael. We will continue to carry to your torch of peace and hope.

Beautiful tribute!! And he was THE greatest entertainer, performer of all time. He was a singer, dancer, choreographer, composer and humanitarian!! Who else could claim all of those attibutes. I will forever remember and love you Michael.

there is no court in the land that could have completely vindicated Michael like his daughter's sincere testimony about her father.

Larry,
I agree with your summary of today's Memorial for MJ. I'd like to add that for the first time in my lifetime atleast, the media was stellar.... I as a fan, so appreciate the kind words and the media's efforts to showcase his many, many contributions to society. He was a kind, gentle being... May God keep him.

Monika H

WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL OF THE ELEMENTS: HIS DANCING, HIS SINGING, HIS MUSICAL GENIUS THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT MICHAEL JACSON WAS THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF ALL TIME. NO OTHER ENTERTAINER HAD ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS, NOT EVEN ELVIS.

MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS CHILDREN AND ESPECIALLY TO HIS MOTHER BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW DEEP HER GRIEF TRULY IS. GOD BLESS THE JACKSON FAMILY.

MJ was the Greatest!!!!!!!!!!

Michael Jackson was the best entertainer in history and should be remembered for his contributions not only in the music industry, but for the charitable donations and influence in the African-American culture.

I can go on and on about Michael, I've Lost a child myself, and I know the hurt and pain a Mother has to go through. My heart is with you Mrs. Jackson. Paris touched my heart today, her Speech to her Father was Heart felt, she brought tears to my heart. I feel your pain Paris. Know God isn't sleeping he will Be There for you all, Your Dad will be your Angel watching over you and The Lord will Protect you all. May God give you all the strength to go on.
From My Family to yours God Bless You All.

Thank you for letting us in your life! Be at Peace.

Would it be possible to turn Neverland to be MJ’s museum?

The Memorial was tastefully done and will be memorable like Michael Jackson himself! MJ got me through my teenage years and I have always been and will always be a big fan of not just his music , but for all the good that he had done.

What a great tribute for such an amazing individual. I cried throughout the program. Michael's daughter really brought me to tears. May God bless this family. Michael rest in peace. Lot's of love

It was a beautiful ceremony and many wonderful tributes were celebrated of Michael Jacksons life.

Michael Jackson was and is still an inspiration to milllions if not billions of people! Saying goodbye is just too tough for me, so instead i will celebrate and say "see you someday soon!" LOVE YOU!!

What a wonderful tribute to MJ. I sat in awe at the performances, the remembrances, and the joy. Unfortunately MJ was too gentle for most people and they tended to think the worst of him. I believe too many people must live in glass houses......too many stones being thrown. May he find rest.....

Larry,

Regardless of what we might hold against Micheal or our inability to acommodate his inadequacies or perceived excesses, I think overall, Micheal is triumphant by the level out pouring and magnicient memorial observed the world over. America has lost a musical giant of our time. Good Night Micheal, I love you.

Our hearts go out to the Jackson family.
Love Selika, Katie, Jae, and Phat
All the way from Phoenix, Louisiana

My thoughts & prayers are with the Jackson children and his family. I was not able to watch the memorial today but from the highlights that I have seen, I have to wonder if Michael knew just how many people loved and respected him. May he rest in peace.

I am deeply sadden by the lost of THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER to ever lived!!! You will deeply missed, my prayers go out to his family and especially his precious children. WE LOVE YOU MICHEAL!!!!

Although I was never a true Michael Jackson fan, his music continues to inspire others to make their own beat. As a music fan, I am glad Michael Jackson was here to innovate and evolve. I liked some of his music and it's okay to admit that. I am actually a HUGE Beatles fan and I recall Sir Paul McCartney worked with Michael Jackson in the early 1980s. That is a cool fact to know. The beat goes on...

RIP Michael. You were a beautiful star sent by God to shine among us! We thank God for your legacy and work!

This was one of the most emotinal moments in my 50 years down here. Will never see anything like this ever? MJ, rest in peace.

Michael will be missed. It's hard to imagine the world without him.

Mr. Wonder said God is Good! That's so true... Music is really close to God. It's a way to praise Him. MJ was a voice that we needed. God needed that for himself now. Thank you for letting us share his talents!!! God is love!!! God bless!

I watched the MJ memorial today and i think it was the best thing the whole world could have ever experience. It was one of the best experiences for me. I think he deserves every bit of the praise,people might say that it is two much for one person but i dont think it is. Their is an old saynig that said(GIVE HONOR TO WHO HONOR IS DUE.And i think he really deserves all the honor for his music and his work for the people and the community. He"s the best and i do mean the best. MJ is the greatest that ever lived.

i love MJ. He is the best.

Michael was talented and brought joy to many. As a 48 year old woman, I grew up watching the Jackson 5 on Flip Wilson, Ed Sullivan and Sonny and Cher, finally, I was a huge fan of the group and Michael as a soloist. I pray for his children and family. I'm proud that he was an American who shared is love of the world.

What a class act, credit to the Jackson family for putting together such a brilliant memorial especially when in so much pain.. Gail

I Watch The Whole Memorial Service Today Until Michael's Daughter Brings The Tears To My Eyes, I Missed Him, R.I.P

To help with the cost of today's wonderful MJ Memorial Service, please sell copies of his memorial booklet from his service to the general public in major book stores or on-line. Then use all the money from this sale to help Los Angeles with the huge bill! There are fans who would love to support the cause....but would like something in return or remembrance for our donation....Just a thought from a FAN!

MJ was and will always be forever in my heart. I love you.

Such a beautiful service. I have been deeply moved. I think I cried through the whole service. The best memorial I have ever witnessed.

Although Michael has physically left us, his legacy and music will FOREVER echo and touch every corner of this world. Heaven has gotten more musical and I'm certain that he is singing and dancing jubilantly up there. May God grant him infinite rest and peace. May he be seated on God's right hand.

To Michael, Paris and Blanket, always remember the AMAZING man your father was and continue to live out the charitable legacy he left. God Bless You and forever be with you.

It was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing musician, father, son brother, friend. Micheal you will never be forgotten.

R.I.P. MJ.. we love you.

Thank you Mrs. Jackson and family for sharing with us. We love you

A part of my youth is gone along with MJ's death

I cried more today than I did for my own father when he passed. Michael, his music, and his life have touched so many in a personal way. There will never be enough words to thank him, but the love he spread will last forever. Thank you Michael I wish I could have know you on a more personal level. You will always be remembered. And lastly thank you Jermaine you displayed courage and Love just as Michael would have liked it.

Today was a fantastic and emotional celebration of Michael Jackson who was simply the best entertainer of all times. May God continue to bless his family.

A reminder to cherish those we love in life!

I feel like I have lost part of my youth with the death of Michael Jackson. I listened to his music through high school, college and many years after. He was an incredible talent and he will be missed!!

Larry all through this tough moment for the Jackson's family you have been so fair and so considerate. Great job sir

Michael Jackson will forever live. Michael music was beyond amazing. I love you MJ

Michael Jackson, one of the wonders of the world......

Where is Miko Brando? I did not see him. I expected maybe him to make some type of tribute. I don't care what anyone says about the visit to Neverland, the shadow definitely looked like Michael to me. the outline, the stature, the walk. Michael is still with us

When Thriller was the hottest thing in the world, I was teaching deaf high school kids. Deaf. And they not only knew who Michael was, but knew every song, every word, even the beat of his songs. I was amazed that kids who couldn't even hear the music (but could definitely "feel" the rhythm) were such fans!

Michael you will be truly missed you are and always be the king of pop

Just want to say Michael I love you!! Today was the saddest day of my life.Still crying over losing you!You we're the greatest!!You brought everyone together.all races!! Thank You!! You will be missed!! God bless your family & those precious children! Rest in peace!! I will see you one day in heaven!

As a young girl who came from Liberia in 1980, I heard Rock with you and I felt in love with Micheal Jackson. I think from that day on I have been one of his biggest fan. Never got to meet him in person, but just seening him T.V. I felt like we knew each other. Back in the 80's all my friends call me Billie Jean. Today, I cried and I laugh. I will always love Michael and will truly miss him. Rest In Peace my love. Farewell my Summer love. God loves you more.

Carolyn Barnard

Yes! For Man who did good for those who have no one deserves to have such a lovely ceremony
I am an African and I thank him a lot for what he did for the poor, who have nothing to live
Thank you Michel May our beloved GOD be with you
Thank you

michael jackson was a legend, one of the greatest. when his family cried i cried.. may michael rest in peace and may he hear the words of his loved ones and fans in the highs of heaven

Almost two weeks after his passing and I still feel so much sorrow and sadness. Cant imagine how his family most feel. We´ll still have his music and his memory and all the joy that comes with it! He will be missed forever!

May God bless the Jackson family. Michael was a gift to the world from God. There are many people in this world who do not fulfill their purpose. Through his music , Michael allowed people to experience his joy, sadness and love because we are all frail humans connected to each other by our experiences. Michael is still here. I Love You Michael. Shunshieva

To the Jackson Family. I met your son in Las Vegas in 2003. It was in a Virgin Records Store late one night. He was very friendly and spoke to me and a couple of my friends. He will missed by the whole world. Your family has my deepest sympathy.

I found the memorial to be very dignified and exactly that – a memorial. I was very moved to the point of tears on more than one occasion. I hope and pray for the sake of his kids that we can leave it at that and not dredge up every sad point in Mr. Jackson's life. He had the heart to give so much to us. Is it too much to ask that he could actually "rest in peace'?

To see and hear his daughter speak about him was truly moving and brung me to tears. He was truly an inspiration to all mankind. He was a true humanitarian.God bless you Michael Jackson and the entire Jackson family.

I also want to no where I can send a money order to help pay for this Larry please let me know also , Thank u for a wonderful life of music Michael!

MJ was the greatest icon and will always be remembered.

Michael Jackson will always live in our hearts FOREVER! He was a beautiful soul with the biggest heart I have ever seen. May you rest in peace.

Larry,

Regardless of what we might hold against Micheal or our inability to acommodate his inadequacies or perceived excesses, I think overall, Micheal is triumphant by the level out pouring and magnificient memorial observed the world over. America has lost a a giant musician of our time. Good Night Micheal, I love you

Unbearably painful...RIP Michael

To The Jackson Family,
I know the pain of the loss of a sibling it's never easy, hold on to those moments and never let them go. Thank you for sharing your wonderful brother with all of us. Michael will live with all of us. Love You Michael

I personally think that the memorial service was exceptionally great... I have a thought that the booklets that they provided at the funeral service should go on sale to the world so the world can have a copy of it the cost does not matter!
Michael Jackson we love you and we will always love you. you will forever be in our hearts and your legacy will live on forever...=(

Rest in peace, kind and gentle soul. You brought so much joy across the earth. Prayers to your family and especially your children.

Michael Jackson is the only person in the world I know who could make everybody do two single dances, the Moonwalk and Thriller.

Michael did more for this world, not just thru his music, but his humanitarian acts and his love for everyone and everything on this planet. Through his legacy, I know he will continue to do even more in his passing. Its a sad day cus we no longer have him physically here with us, yet what he started will never end.

Thank you Al Sharpton for standing up for one of the best we ever had.

To Rep. King of NY, who obviously doesn't understand our constitution. You will never be 1 percent the person Michael ever was.

Michael Jackson was truly the king of pop and will never be forgotten. I know he was smiling down on us today.

I watched the Memorial Service from my home & loved it. I thank the family for sharing Micheal with the world. I thought the service was beautiful and just sooo Michael. My favorite moment was when Lionel Richie sang Jesus is Love. I then realized that Jesus stands by us all no matter what but we as people are sooo judgmental. I love Michael Jackson and wish that his family will continue to have god to guide them. Al Sharpton was soo right too. Usher was soo Michael & his precious daughter said it all, Dad was the best & still is the best.

Wow is all I can say. Watching today took me back to junior high school. Every morning while waiting for my friend Tammy to get ready to walk to school, we would listen to her MJ album. I was sure that his eyes on her poster on the back of the door were looking at me. I felt it in my heart. That is who he was and will always be, in my heart.

A piece of my childhood has been laid to rest today. May God Bless you, MJ. Thank you for touching so many lives!!

MJ had one life and he filled it with music and dance and became a legend.

Jackson Family: Words cannot express the deep seated sorrow I feel in the loss of one so young and gifted. I like so many other "girls" thought that I would one day marry Michael...I was such a fan. I wrote him poetry and day-dreamed often of one day meeting him. I felt so connected to Michael because I felt we had so much in common, his birthday was 29 Aug 1958, mine is 29 Sept 1959..when that realization was revealed to me..I just knew we were connected in spirit and that one day we would meet, talk, sing and just share our lives. I will miss his presence but as so many have said today....His legacy will live on thru his children and his works. Love to you all.

Today Larry on this day Mrs.Jackson said good-bye to her baby boy
we said good-bye to a man a man of heart the music will continue to blend us all together there is just something i cannot leave un-said
God Bless your journey Michael Jackson a un-finished symphony
and this will be his legacy un-heard music by this man still left undone
heaven must have needed just one more angel!!
thank you CNN for your respect and class during this time for the family,friends and we fans of Michael Joseph Jackson.
Diane

Love him or hate him, in the end Michael Jackson has reportedly brought together 1 billion people world wide to watch his memorial. If we could just bottle that power up and bring 1 billion people together world wide every day to unite for one cause, all of our soldiers would be home, all of the hungry would have food to eat, all of our homeless would be sheltered...

Michael Jackson didn't do those things to himself for fun, or weirdness, he was a tormented soul, who still managed to give us wonderful music, have fun, and be a dad. His music is the soundtrack to my life!

Michael Jackson's memorial was heartwarming and soulful. Look to the Heavens and you will see a brighter star!

It is so sad to even think about a world without him. I don't know how his children are even going to cope without their father. I couldn't. But I want to say to all the people on EBay and other auction sites, if you are on there selling Memorial tickets, booklets, domain names and other Michael Jackson memorabilia, you should all BE ASHAMED of yourselfs. You are greedy, selfish people. You couldn't even start to understand what Michael was about or what he fought for in his life. Remember greed is a sin, you will someday meet your maker.

We love you Michael!!!!

I could not give my job 110% today, knowing that I was not fortunate enough to be a part of Micheal Jackson's memorial service. I felt as though I lost a part of my life that I will never be able to capture.

I've loved you all my life! The good, bad and indifferent. You will always be the greatest love of all entertainers

I Know I am your greatest fan! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU 🙂 !!!!!

I agree with the Al Sharpton observation, just great, as I review the clips I think also the Jennifer Hudson tribute was second and overall it was a wonderful display of caring and loving and I am impressed that they (the people involved) were able to make it a memorial service and not an "event" . So touching, so fitting to Michael's memory and what a good memory for his family.

The magic of Michael Jackson is that what he really wanted was to make our world a much better place to live. If we could all learn and follow his example, what a beautiful world we will have. We lost a wonderful, joyous soul and may his legacy work through all of us to make life better for everyone! Rest in Peace Michael Jackson; you may be gone from this earth, but you will never ever be forgotten.

A beautiful,moving memorial service with such class and elegance.Michael would be proud.I was in awe.

I am from Indiana and I remember the first concert for me, my cousins and brothers and sister was "The Jackson 5. We all called each other and remembered the time. I have always loved Michael and his family. I am 50 and I felt as if I have lost a childhood friend. May God be with you Michael and the Jackson family, you will never be forgotten!

I was never a big fan of Michael Jackson, but I never disliked him. He was a brilliant performer and singer. I can't think of anyone that didn't try to do the "Moon Walk" whenever one of his songs came on. Anyway, after today's tribute . . . I am a BIG fan. I wish he didn't have to die so I could realize that.

I watched the beautiful and emotional tribute to Michael Jackson, but I was struck that within all the replays of the performances that the awesome guitar solo of John Mayer is not being mentioned. It would seem that the people at CNN do not understand that as Michael’s talent lay in the ‘feeling of the music’, so too does John Mayer’s. I am so glad that Larry King has invited and for the first time acknowledged John’s contribution to the memorial.

The memorial today for Michael was absolutely beautiful and by far the most touching memorial I have ever seen , he was truly loved by all and will be missed ,I am glad to see the world came together to say good bye to the King of Pop. God bless Michael, his family and his children.

What the world has lost is heartbreaking!

Beautiful memorial, I loved MJ and i will miss him...my eyes are swollen, i cried all day, RIP Michael!

Michael IS loved even in remote villages in Nigeria. I love Michael and would always love him and his music. I have fond memories of a summer holiday when a cousin of mine returned from the US with Michael's LP of "OFF THE WALL". We never stopped playing it and my dad already had his old songs from Ben so Michael is special even if some people in the United State do not know it. I love even the more recent albums. GENIUS!!!!!! He introduced the US to the rest of the world in a profound way. Rest in Peace and I know you are with GOD.

Today will be recorded in History nto so much in press, but very much in the hearts of true men and women. How do measure venom in someone? You measure it by there lack of understanding of today. MJ may you rest in peace, your songs and the words therein will live on forever. God Bless You and the Jackson family.

michael jackson will be remembered as a wonderful singer and performer. his little girl paris made my day when she spoke about her father...it touched every one..i also loved when jermaine sang, it was really nice...i would like to give my condolences to the family and may mj rest in peace

Michael Jackson, my soul mate. We love you and you will live forever and ever in our hearts, through your music, and through your family.

Beautiful memorial for M. The Music, The legend, The family man will be missed.I cried all day and now I'm crying while watching your footage of Michaels daughter. Larry King Thanks for sharing your thoughts with the wonderful guests on your show...Atlanta loves Larry

MJ was the best there ever was. we will hold him in our hearts forever now let the lord hold him in heaven. Love you Michael.

Mr. King,
When I was about 8, I had to travel 45 miles to purchase a new pair of glasses. There was only an AM station. Over and over the DJ played "Rock with You". I loved the song a whole lot, but then I said, "Can he play something else". Mr. King some of us take life for granted and it can b taken by a blink of an eye. I would do anything to hear him sing "Rock with Me" one more time, but I know it will never be.
Rest On Mr King Of Pop, Rest On.

The Memorial told us about the real mIchael jackson,who is a living legend in the musical world and how he touched all of our heart.He brought the world together as one with his music and dancing R.I.P MJ

MJ was more than a man. He was the greatest entertainer of all times but what he really showed us all was that he had the biggest heart. His love is what inspired us all. To the darling children I send hugs and wish them peace and joy. Be proud to follow in his footsteps and give of yourselves. I know he would not have left you if he had a choice and that he loved you truly. I feel like my heart is broken but I also feel I was fortunate to live in a time to see and be a part of the legacy of love and kindness that he leaves us with. I've looked in the mirror and I was inspired to give in my own way to those in need because MJ showed us that giving of your self is the greatest of blessings. The Lord keep you in his loving embrace Michael.

Today Paris reminded us that Michael was not just the King of Pop, but, had the most important role of "Daddy". Michael rest in peace and may God fill his children and family with strength.

Today's tribute to Michael Jackson was wonderful. This is what you call a homegoing celebration. May the Lord bless and keep the family, friends and fans in this time of sorrow. MJ you are one of the angels now.

His smile was as if God was smiling on us all.

I cried my eyes out, and am still crying. And his little girl,...wow I am still crying thinking about her when she said DADDY. It put such a humanly touch to Michael Jackson. Too young to have left this world, and I will miss him, as I always loved his music, dancing, and oddities about him.
And Marlon, he too was very touching. Michael had a lovely family.
May he rest in peace.

As I sat on my living room couch with tears streaming down my face today, all I could think was...please be happy Michael, on this new journey you have started. As his baby girl said, Michael is going to be sooooooo missed. (((((((Michael)))))))

I will never be the same for having been alive during his lifetime. I will also never be the same for having to see him die so young. The service was beautiful and perfect. THank you Michael for all you shared with us.

Michael Jackson, sadly in his passing we finally learned of the man. His greatest acomplishment is the father he became, what a great testimonial of his life, through the eyes and words of his children. His daughter's words and tears spoke volumes of the man, the loving father.

Michael is an icon of life, tragedy and accomplishment. Those of us who grew up with his music will always remember from a 45 all the way to mp3, Michael's music is timeless and will be played for generations to come.

May he now finally have peace from those that haunted him and may he Smile for eternity.

Michael, I feel like I lost a close family. I am hurting and will miss you. You raised your kids well. We all saw it today. God Bless you ....

Michael Jackson had a spiritual essence and bright light that was needed in this world. He was a real human being and a divine conduit. May he now know PEACE!

My prayers to the Jackson family and fans. I also cried during the memorial. My tears were for the loss felt by his family. May they find peace in knowing how much Michael was loved and admired by his fans..........

I watched the coverage today, alone in my home and cried almost throughout the whole thing. I lost my mother this April and I guess mixed with MJ's passing, it feels like my youth is gone for good.

I feel however, that to honour MJ, we should respect his wishes regarding his children. He went to such lengths to protect their privacy – yes the veils weren't weird they served a purpose – he wanted them to be able to go out to movies or a supermarket or mix with regular folks. These were the things he was never able to do growing up.
Please, please please stop playing the clip of Paris over and over and over.

You, the press, now have an opportunity to break the spiral of unreasonable fame that was MJ's life.

If you want to honour him, please protect his kids from the media juggernaut.

I know you can look into that mirror and make a change. I know you can.

I did not win tickets, but I watched on TV and on line. It was very moving. I agree with everything Mr. King said. I appreciate the coverage and the way you kept us informed. MJ will surely be missed and heaven is smiling with the arrival of yet another Angel. God bless you Michael and I love you.

For me Michael Jackson shared a my\sterious and magical presence in our lives that only a spirit can comprehend.

Michael electrified THE NATIONS. And today THE WORLD CRIED.

I feel like I lost a family member. I can't quit crying. MJ was always part of our family when it came to music. I grew up with him. My kids love him. We all take turns playing our favorite songs. I felt special when I took the "What Michael Jackson Song are you?" and it came back "Smile". I felt a connection when I heard that was MJ's favorite song! He must be smiling now after this beautiful tribute!

Thank you to everyone for allowing this service to be peaceful and filled with love!

My heart goes out to The Jackson family. I love all of them so much. We all will miss Michael so much. He is the whole reason why I am majoring in music at the university Im attending. Michael is the greatest entertainer that ever lived and no one will ever be close to all the things he has accomplished. May God be with Michael and his family. We love You so much. God loved you best.

After hearing "Man in the Mirror" I decided to become a teacher in inner-city Los Angeles and "made a change".

MY MOMENT IN TIME WITH MICHAEL WAS WHEN THE JACKSON 5 WENT ON TOUR IN JAMAICA WEST INDIES. I SPENT A COUPLE OF DAYS BY THE POOL SIDE.WITH THE FAMILY .ONE GLIMPSE OF HIM WAS ALL I NEEDED- I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH HIS MEMORIES.THIS IS THE SADEST DAY OF MY LIFE.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to the Jackson family. I was deeply moved today by the beautiful memorial service – I cried and cried. What a beautiful memorial – this memorial will always be remembered – a great tribute to the ONLY KING OF POP! He was a phenomenal musician, singer, dancer and entertainer – also a beautiful person inside and out! Just look at what he did for the world! May he now rest in peace! God Bless the Jackson family – I wish them strength from God during this time of deep sorrow.

My heart goes to his family, specially his daughter and sons.
Just remember Michael was a down to the earth person, and very brilliant.
I will pray for Michael and his family every night, and on his honor, I will have a smile every morning.
The memorial was fantastic and very emotional for me. I cried all the way through.
God needed his genuine, honest love for other childrens.
Michael you brought everyone together on this life, that's the reason God choose you to bring everyone together in the eternal life.
RIP

Lilian

I am a funeral director from western pennsylvania. The tribute to Michael was absolutely beautiful. I was wondering why there was no skirt on the church truck. The church truck is what the casket is on and the skirt is a covering that goes around it. It is common when caskets are on display. Did the funeral director miss that one? For such a beautiful service the skirt was noticeably absent.

MJ was, is and will always be a legend. He lives on in all of us through his music

Michael is truly an Icon that would have continued to taken the world by storm had he lived longer. To the Jackson family, please continue his legacy and inspiring music is what this nation stills needs to bridge all gaps. May the Lord comfort the Jackson family and rest in pease Michael

My Heart goes out to Michael's children...it so sad.... Neverland should be an Historical Place!! He was the king..

Gone too Soon!

Today's memorial for Michael was so touching. I still can not make sense of his death, he is gone way too soon. If there were just more people like Michael, who was so loving, kind, giving and made such a huge difference in so many lives. God Bless is children.

beautiful ceremony. wish I could have been there, but I was in spirit, as no doubt michael jackson was.

the terrible paradox and the price of fame, lots of money and privilidge, and being so horribly isolated and forced to live in � bubble. while im sad he's gone im happy for him to think he's in � better place now. may you rest in peace michael, knowing you may be gone from us now but never forgotten.

zola

My head and heart still hurt. What N amazing human. I wish ppl would stop judging him and see his great beauty...he went through so much...what a great service. I loved what al sharpton said...and Paris of course....I pray the kids will be ok and some day share more of their great lives with him...and I am so glad God knows the truth...

i remember going thur my dad LP when i was 8 and found the thirller album for the first time and sat down and played the record and to this day thirller is one of my top songs and one of the greatest music video ever made in the USA. god bless MJ

Not only a great entertainer but most important a great humanitarian. Thank you Michael. May God bless and keep you and the entire family. Your babies are in great hands. Love You Always!

Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer ever and a great human being!! God bless him and his family!

I was watching CNN live at work today. The memorial service was beautiful and very very emotional. I could hear people in my office reaching for the tissue boxes right when Paris Jackson spoke. I couldn't stop crying myself either.

Michael was truly a gift to all of us.What a great human being.I'm so glad I got to see his concert in Ireland 21 years ago.

I feel so lucky and blesssed I have lived the same era than Michael, to have danced and sang to his song. I feel connected to the whole planet tonight. Thank you Michael. You've always been an angel.

When the world lost Michael, they not only lost the greatest entertainer of all time, they lost a father, brother, best friend, and inspiration to millions. He is gone in flesh, but forever will his spirit will remain inspiring millions more to come. He is no doubt in a much better place now, where he cannot be ridiculed or harassed, and where he can make music with the angels. Michael was blessed, and now he shall watch from above and continue to bless others for all of time.

Can someone please identify the female singer two led the others in the last two songs?

For me, Michael Jackson's passing and my turning 50, symbolize a rite of passage. Today, as I watched the middle-aged Jacksons mourn the death of their middle-aged brother and my childhood/ teenage idol, I cried too. But, I shed no tears of sadness. Instead, I celebrated how this family of talented, spiritual, disciplined, beautiful and gracious people helped to shape what, for me, has been a fantastic first 50 years!

Michael was a king, almost God like in the music world. He will always be remembered by all who love him and hate him.

This was really a noble tribute and thanksgiving for the life of Michael Jackson. It was immaculate, joyous and tearful but not sad. Rev. Al Sharpton was crisp, intelligent and to the point. There were many poignant moments especially in the musical presentations and in those composed by Jackson himself. I believe some of his music spoke about him and in them lie the answers to his personality. His music is timeless and we are much richer because of it and him. May he rest in eternal peace.

Excellent tribute to michael jackson. Michael is an icon.

Micheal is and forever will be my idol. He is the greatest human being to ever lived. I love you, Micheal. Please smile upon your kids and family.

I will miss most the soft soothing voice of Michael Jackson. Not his singing voice- just his voice. His angelic, respectful, and innocent voice.

Shame on you Jeffrey Toobin for judging MJ when he was never convicted of a crime. It is rare that we see a heart so pure and yes naive from being unjaded. Just because it seems different does not make it wrong if your intentions are pure.

MJ will be truly missed!! But he will live on in my heart and my cd player!!! Always a fan!! We luv you Michael!!!

There will NEVER be another Mchael Jackson. I only hope he's finally at peace, showing the other legends that have left us how to moon walk.

WE WILL MISS YOU MICHAEL, but we can look to the second star to the right and straight on till morning to find you!

I loved seeing the women in Micheal's family come together for his children.

Growing up with an abusive father and losing my mom at the age of 47 to prescription drugs..I continue to smile because of the influence MJ had on me and will continue forever in my life.

my thoughts and prayers to mr amd mrs jackson his children and his siblings. i pray that god continues to give you the strenght to wake up from this dream. It feels so soreal, my heart is hurting and especially for his children. Michael although I never got to meet him, I call him my friend. Im the youngest out of 6 kids and I felt alone. but when I first Michael Jackson Off the wall album and his "i wanna rock with you" came on thats when I fell in love with him. I was 9 years old. I will miss him so much and when I hear his song it brings me right back to my bedroom and im 9 years old all over again.
Today's memorial was beautiful and well put together.

I hope people will remember Michael for his big heart, the joy he took in doing simple things and the pure love he had for his children. RIP King Michael.

I loved and cherished him he was the greatest entertainer in the world
I would love to see a bill passed to have a michael Jackson day

His smile and eyes lit up the world especially mine
I am sad that already the negativity has started to surface and he has not even been laid to rest
My prayers are for peace for the children and the family
I am just a fan who grew up with his music but I wish to find out the process of having a bill passed to honor his day
Thank you for letting me share I will love and miss you michael

Didn't the Jackson 5 have a carton out years ago? I remember watching it as a little girl.I haven't heard anything about it.

This was a wonderful service. Michael deserved all of this love and more.

I haven't cried so hard in so long! I have been an emotional wreck all day. The memorial service was so incredibly touching and so perfect. What a tribute to such a great entertainer. My prayers to the whole Jackson family. I have been crying for days, but today's memorial has done me in. Hearing Michael's daughter Paris say how much she loved her father made me cry so much that I couldn't see for my eyes are puffy and blurry.
I love Michael and always will. He is my "King" as a human being and an entertainer.
God Bless and Rest in Peace Michael.

I appreciate Larry King for giving us a look back on today's events regarding the Memorial Service for Michael Jackson. I am glad that Michael was portrayed as the man that he really and truly is – a loving man, who loved his family, his children, his music. He will be truly missed. Thank you Larry King, for looking at the person Michael Jackson and his accomplishments and giving his family the respect that was needed after all they've been through. Great media coverage!

Just Want to send my prayers and words of comfort to the family, Michael 's Children nieces , nephews. He was the Greatest entertainer ever . Love his music, his dance movies his creativeness . I loved him and his music R.I.P You will be missed , will alway's remember to Look at the Man in the Mirror and make That change what a humanitarian

All of these people are coming out now saying they are Michael Jackson's friends, where were they when the trial was going on? when asked for comments they said no comment., seems to me a lot of these so called "friends" are riding his coat tails for there own personal gain.

King of pop will live forever. We will miss you Michael Jackson.

I am overwhelmed with sadness. This man that got me through adolecence and into adulthood the words, the moves....what an inspiration. God Bless Michael Jackson and may he rest in peace.

I was glued to the TV today as much of the World was. It was a STUNNING tribute to Michael and something that will never be forgotten by the World. I grew up with Michael and appreciated the ever changing, always mesmerizing approach to life he always took. He was aways looking for better ways to improve our world and the people in it. Maybe now we can reflect and heed his words and feelings. Michael will truly be missed and loved always. We love you Michael.

He Will Never Be Forgotten. Todays Memorial Was Unforgettable. I Miss Michael Very Much

I loved the memorial it was done is very good taste, just the way Michael would have wanted it.

This Is It
An Open Letter to Michael Jackson

What can we say Michael?

You have shown us that you were “Bad” and you have taught us to “Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough.” When others stated you “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’” you told them to “Beat It.” You explained to us, “They Don’t Really Care About Us” and sometimes you just have to “Scream.”

Sometimes people described your life as a “Thriller” but what they didn’t know was that it was “HIStory.” Hey, do you “Remember the Time” when you reminded us how important it was to “Heal the World”? That was “Another Part of Me” that you pulled out of me to look at “The Man in the Mirror” just a little harder. It taught me that “We are the World” and that it is “Dangerous” not to believe that we are the same whether “Black or White.”
You know Michael, we all thought that you were “Invincible.” It is only “Human Nature” to want you to be with us for all time.

I just want to let you know that I always wanted to “Rock with You” on the dance floor, to be that “Smooth Criminal” in the concert where you gave me “One More Chance.”
But I know you must now fly with the “Butterflies.”

Michael, “This is It!” “The Way You Make Me Feel” man “I Just Can’t Stop Lovin’ You!”
As you “Ease on Down the Road” to a better place I feel that you are “Gone Too Soon”, but I know at the “Break of Dawn” “You Are Not Alone” and that all the hurt and pain are gone as you “Smile” in His presence.

Rest In Peace Michael Joseph Jackson, you will be missed!

To the Jackson family: I pray that God be with you all in this time of loss and overwhelming grief. We can’t understand why life is filled with pain and heartache. But, I pray you turn your eyes to God as you seek to find the strength to trust in His faithfulness. Although your hearts may be crushed, know that the heavenly father will not abandon you forever. I pray the Lord shows each of you compassion. He will help you through the pain so that you will hope in Him again. I believe the promise in the Word of God to send you fresh mercy each day. Though you all can't see past today, trust and know God’s great love will never fail you.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." John 14:1-3 (NIV)

Michael is going to missed .But his music well always live in our hearts . My heart goes out to his family and children. Michael was one of a kind . The world lost a King but to me he was a God. R.IP. MJ

I am so incredibly sad that I can hardly function. I did not know him personally, never saw him live but I feel I knew him as a brother and fellow HUMAN BEING. His music is so much a part of who I am and aspire to be. I know it sounds stupid but I was so hoping that he would open the coffin and wake up just from the sheer love that was pouring in but.....

If I am feeling so sad I cannot imagine how devasted the Jackson family and especially his kids must be. My most sincere prayers and love is with the family! I thank you for giving us our precious MJ!

His love and life was too pure for the common person to understand and instead of trying to understand him, people demonized him! He was a saint and should have been cherished in life, not just in death.

Neverland should go back to the Jackson family

Oh Michael I'm gonna miss you...I will always love and adore you. As Stevie Wonder said, God needed you more. Rest in peace. God be with you, your family, your children and with us all.

Michael Jackson was a very special and talented man. Rest in peace.

Iam still tearing up and occassionaly still have a sense of disbelief that Michael is gone. I feel like I am mourning someone I know. I thought I would evently see him come back but not this way. The tributes were wonderful. It is regretful though that the press is only now trying to show the real Michael. Fortunately Millions already had the intuition to know better. I just which Michael had all this support during his trials. RIP.

Dignified and uplifting in the midst of terrible grief.

I remember my brownie troop back when Billie Jean came out, and all of the 16 little girls knew the words and wanted to dance like Michael Jackson. I was also privileged to see the J5 before Michael went on his own, and it was an awesome experience, He was special, and I hope the Jackson Family and Paris, Prince and Blanket will always know what a true talent and individual MJ was. I, too, half expected that MJ would appear on that stage, but as much as it's hard to believe, I know it's true. It does hurt me at how mean people were to him, and he just wanted to help humanity. The service was special and a part of music history. To the Jackson's, my heartfelt prayers and love go out to all of them. It's so hard to think he is gone, but Brooke is right – he's on a crescent moon shining down on all of us with a smile. Michael will live on forever in his music and in everyone's hearts. Thank you, Jacksons, for sharing him with us.

Michael is the greatest artist that has ever lived. The memorial was fit for a King.

I cried almost the entire time watching the memorial on tv. May MJ rest in peace. As for the media who loves to bash any celebs., please remember that celebs. are humans too who will make mistakes and bad decisions. Please do not make your stories bigger than they already are just because they sell. Please think of their feelings, and the feelings of their loved ones. Put yourself in their shoes before you print anything. Hope there are some learned lessons to everything that happened to everyone you affected from your stories (eg. MJ and Lady Diana).

RIP MJ and Lady Diana.

Larry,
Michael Jackson memorial celebration brought my life to a halt
for 3 hours. I could not stop from crying listening to the beautiful
words, songs, fans, prayers for Michael. He has been in our family
since he first performed and will forever be kept in our hearts.

My condolences to the Jackson family, children, and coworkers.
Long live the king of Pop!

Thank you Larry for bringing this live every nigh since his passing.

I hadn't cried since I found out Michael was gone...just didn't sink in. Today, I broke. Jermaine's loving, moving tribute to his brother was priceless!

What people don't realize is....Michael Jackson was an incredible businessman!!!!

Michael is love and kindness itself. Rest in Peace. I remember when I picked up MJ at the airport in Chicago in my capacity as an employee at CBS-Epic Records. I drove with him in the limousine to the National Black Caucus event there. He asked me if my accent was Jamaican. I said yes. Michael then told me about the wonderful time he and his brothers had had performing as The Jacksons in Jamaica. Michael asked me if I knew Stephen Bishop's song about Jamaican women and I replied no. He asked me if I wanted him to sing it for me. I emphatically said "yes". He started singing "Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women, steal your money and they break your heart..... and so on, through the chorus "on on on...mmmm..” Michael I will always love you. This day, July 7, 2009, I can feel your presence and your beautiful spirit.

Memorial service was done with such class and was touching. Reminding us all that MJ was human. We need to be more about love, that is part of what MJ gave us through his music.

What a classy and respectful memorial service! We can feel sure Micheal is truly smiling today!

I wonder where Elizabeth Taylor was today? And she did not send a note to be read either that I heard. Anyone know about this?

I give my condelences to the family and close friends, this is a very sad time in t heir lives, just know the MJ will never die in any of us he will remembered as a loving father, a man, a king to all. his songs have changed many people and just being in our lives gave us a sense of life and living. he cared for everyone and even animals and took pride in what he had done. thank you for being in our lives, it is sad to see you go. You wil missed

MJ should be laid to rest at Neverland

The Michael Jackson memorial was AWESOME. Everything was beautiful and moving. I sat and cried when Brook, Usher, jermaine and especially when little Paris spoke. My heart has been aching since June 25th, and I still cant believe that this is real. I hope that the media stops trying to dig up and turn every stone regarding MJ, everyone has something wrong in their lives. Let's remember Michael as the gifted and phenomenal singer that he was. Gone Too Soon!

I was glad to finally see Michael be portrayed as the good, caring, and gentle soul I always knew him to be. There have been so many people who have tried to tarnish Michael's message of hope and love over the years that I'm excited to see people share the real story of one of our histories greatest legends. It's too bad people haven't focused on his philanthropy of children's charities more before now. May you rest in Peace Michael, and my prayers are with your beautiful children and family now and forever.

To the Jackson Family, God sees one's pain and weariness and he called Michael home where he would be weary no more. Today was a wonderful homegoing celebration for Michael, for the goodness of love will always triumph over the darkness of pain.

Michael everytime I look at your childhood and adult pictures, I cry. I cry because I see so much love, sadness, and misunderstanding in your eyes. In looking at your pictures over the past weeks, I have come to actually realize that you were such a sad child and a sad adult. But with all the sadness in the world, you placed it all to the side, and brought out that beautiful shining star of a heart of yours to share with the world either through your music or just being a beautiful human being. Your music and your humanitarium manner will never be overlooked Michael. You are a true Icon and a Legend.....the greatest entertainer of all time. From my family to yours, may the Good Lord Continue to Bestow His Blessings Upon You, your children, your mother Katherine and the rest of your family. I, we love you Michael Jackson....sing, sing on baby....dance, dance on the moon.....and most of all Michael, rest, rest baby....Just rest.....Godspeed, Kenya

I just want to say what a GREAT JOB that CNN did on the Michael Jackson Memorial. I appreciate you.
I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson. I was a year older. My heart is deeply hurt for the Jackson family. You have my love and prayers and I will miss Michael very much.

I watched the live memorial today and saw nothing out of the ordinary but, after watching it agian this afternoon at the end when the men were starting to gather around the coffin, I saw a man standing beside the coffin facing the people .he had on a red long sleeve shirt with black hair reaching to the bottom of his neck, he had his hands covering his face and and head bent down in sorrow. His skin was white. When I saw this I took a double take, I was thinking who is this I did not see this when I saw the live broadcast. I saw this person for about 10 seconds then all i saw was the men, coffin and flowers. I swear the body, skin ,and hair looked like Michael . I need to know what color of shirt he was wereing in the coffin. to know if what I saw was real or my imagination. I have always loved Michael Jackson, I never judged him for I feel that that is Gods place. I love his music, the way he danced and especially his heart. Michael Jackson really loved people. God had given him a wonderful gift of love and music. He reached the hearts of many. He was a true person who had so much love. I will never forget him.

I was fortunate enough to have had VIP seats, along with my son, I have to agree with you Larry, the whole show was awesome, Al Sharptons' speech was outstanding , so was the ones from the King children, there were tears and cheers, happiness and sadness, I feel very privilged to have been able to attend. It still seem sureal to me. While we were waiting for everything to start and listening to Michaels music and songs I told my son I expected to see Michael come out and stage and start to sing and dance. I saw his Victory Tour and was in awe then. But this was outstanding. Thank you to the LAPD for the way they ran the show, it was very organized. To his parents I know your pain, I too have buried a child lost to cancer at the tender age of 31, she also left me a beautiful daughter. It has been a pleasure to watch her grown she was 7 and is now 16 it is like watching my daughter all over again. To his brothers and sisters, you will be kept in my prayers. To his 3 wonderful children, stay strong, remember all of the good times that you shared, and you will always have those memories to carry with you for the rest of your lives. You can see pictures of him, movies, and hear him sing. I know its not the same as having him with you but you have great and wonder memories. You have a wonderful grandmother and wonderful aunts and uncles and cousins, who will always be there for you. Remember the whole world loves your dad and the whole world loves you. God Bless you all.

He is gone in body only,never in our hearts.. Angels are singing with him now.

Hello Mr. king thank you for the coverage. I really felt that it was genuine. It is not easy to ask sensitive questions, and yet your interviewed with poise and empathy on behalf of viewers.

Thank you

Elana Barnett

MJ the Lord now has someone who will keep the stars shining.
You will be missed

im 16 years old and my life has been impacted by michael jackson. the first ever michael jackson video i ever saw was rock with you and i loved it from then on i tried my best to catch all his videos and songs on the radio. i love michael jackson. my little brother looks just like him when he was younger. no matter what people say about him i will always be a fan. i loved the speech al sharpton gave about michael...because there was nothing wrong with michael at all..the moment that touched me most was when his daughter paris said that he was a great father. michael's death hit home with me because my great-grandmother died in june of 2008 and then the next year i hear hes gone. its very difficult for me because he is one of my idols including aaliyah. they were both great. my prayers go out to the entire family especially his children. gone to soon i love you michael

The service for Michael Jackson, the King Of Pop was wonderful. It was really nice.

Michael, I will miss you dearly and I pray that you are at peace.
You are a caring person who really cares and love everyone for
who they are.

To the Jackson family, I am sorry for the lost of Michael. My thoughts and prayers are with always. May tears you shed for Michael, will be the tears of wonderful meomories you have of him.

Love Always,

Lula

I think this memorial and remembrance of Michael Jackson just solidifies who he was as a man, person , and human being. To see all those who KNEW him, share their memories and thoughts and say all the things that needed to be said was priceless. We all know how he touched our lives through the years by his music or entertainment, but to see how much more he touched the lives of those that were close to him just goes to show that despite all the controversy, his heart and spirit shine through, and those are things things that matter and are timeless. We will forever love you and miss you Michael, you had a heart and spirit that were not of this world.

Michael will live on forever in his music.

The world THOUGHT they knew greatness before Michael. He showed us what TRUE greatness is.

Michael Jackson's memorial was the most classiest, fitting, touching and moving event I have ever seen and I know I will not see another. This was the BEST...Michael is pleased. I would like to send my contribution to the LA Memorial fund since I was not able to attend. Please someone either email me or post the info to send the money. This was priceless....God please be with Michael, his family and especially his dear sweet children.

I LOVE YOU MICHAEL!
There will never ever be another.

Neverland should go back to the Jackson family and be opened to the public

Michael, you blessed me when you debuted in the music industry. You blessed me as I watched you dance. You blessed me at you final curtain call at your memorial service today. Rest in peace, Michael. See you in heaven!

A message to the jacksonfamily:
With every song Michael sang, with every step he took, we were there with him. Every song that he song came with love and joy and left memories for the world to remember. I only wish I had taken the time to write to him and convey my thanks, respect and support for all he has done for this PLANET EARTH. He brought the world together in unity. Thank you for sharing Michael with us. He legacy will be in our hearts for ever and beyond.

Our thoughts are with you all and pray the media gives you the respect your deserve.

All my love
from people who care

Once in a while ,God allows his angels time to walk among us. Michael was that angel and he WILL BE deeply missed because His music was the vessel for GODs' work!

Sir Larry King

You have been so graciously invited into the Jacksons family trusted inner circle but I have one question. Do you feel Micheal deserves a place like Elvis Graceland so the Worldly Fans can pay humage to
his great humanitarian contribution that he has rightfully earned? If you feel he does then where ? Hint is Neverland Possible!

it was a moving Memorial..i was touched and was glued to the television with a box of tissue... u never know how much someone has touched u till u lose them. I don't know him personally but everyones' performance moved me,especially towards the endin of the song J. Hudson performed. It's like he was right there in the flesh only to be hit by reality that he's only there in spirit. Usher, OMG I began to cry from the time he started singing and seein him shed a tear was even harder... God sure had other plans for him than to be here with us. Stay strong Jackson family and may the good Lord continue to give u His blessings and guidence as u go through such a rough time.

C. Harris

While watching the memorial service, I kept thinking and hoping that he was not dead, just sleeping to ease the pain. After awhile I resolved that I would carry him in my heart, alive and well without pain......We (my children and I) are thankful to have had the priviledge to witness his genius.

Larry, if you were there with the family, then you must have meant something special to the Jacksons and Michael. Please, I hope you will continue to respect Michael, and the fact that he was a special spirit on this earth. Please forget the 'falseness' of what others say are 'objective reporting' and are treating his passing as an opportunity to debate all aspects of what happened in his life. Please be subjective, and continue to honor the fact that he was a sensitive soul, who did have the courage to stand in front of the world audience, and give them hope and spirit. Everyone in the public eye gets 'hit' (I'm sure you have too). Please keep hosting the people who know what Michael truly means to the world, during this sensitive and epic time. Remember that Mozart suffered too ... those of us in this time have lost a 'rare' master of arts and works. It's tough on those of us here, to be without him. Thanks for all you do, Larry. Thanks for hosting that special in Neverland, with Jermaine. Thanks for keeping it honorable.

Don't...
...Judge the Man for what the media circus fooled our eyes upon
...Let Evil judge what you do not know for sure
...Point your finger, when you literally did not follow what was behind the sick minds
...Think that for a moment the Man rested tired in dismay and forgot those in need
...Forget the brilliance beyond his creation
...Think that even with all his efforts, the hungry and the sick got a break
...Judge the Man, when very few human being did for the humanity what he did
...Ever forget that kid that all he wanted was to be happy and everyone denied him his freedom!!!
...You will never be forgotten Michael!!!!

Michael will NEVER die. He will live threw all his friends and fans and family. MJ will always be remembered for all his good. i love y MJ always and forever.

I LOVE JOHN MAYER

What a honor to be invited by the family, this young man is a genius. I am a 58 year old black woman and even I know a prodigy when I heard this guy for the first time a few years ago, and his tribute guitar rendition to Michael Jackson was great. Mariah and Usher and of course for me Stevie Wonder were the highlights of the music.
I liked Brooke Sheild, and what Magic Johnson had to say about Michael. You know for us who knew him when he first started, a lot of the younger people just don't know, they just don't understand what a gift Michael Jackson was, a gift from God.

i grew up listening to his music dancing to his songs at school dances watching everyone dancing to thriller and trying to moonwalk i believe he finally found his neverland in heaven

A poem never more appropriate comes to mind, author anonymous:
Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow;
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight;
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there, I did not die.

What a blessing! What a blessing it has been to have graced with the wonderful talent of the entire Jackson crew. Thank-you Michael for the messages of your music...messages that will live forever. Goodness; I haven't heard one song since you left us...believe me your sound is everywhere... that I didn't stop and listen and enjoy the memory of the time. I was 15 years old when it all started.

Peace and Blessings

"Long Live The KING!" We love you Michael.

Where were ALL these stars while he was on trial?! Phonies!

A week before Michael passed my family and I were cleaning out the garage and found some of his LP's. We hooked up the record player and sang and danced for hours. My son was two years old when we took him to his first MJ concert and he still has the t-shirt we bought at the concert 22 years later.

Never in our wildest dreams did we think he would be gone so soon. I grew up with him and the Jackson 5 and once dreamed of marrying Jermaine. My heart has been aching for days for the entire Jackson family. I will forever love and miss him. MJ was a phenom!

You will forever live in my heart MJ, R.I.P and continue to sing with the angels> Just wish u could lay in peace at ur Home in Neverland Ranch. I love u , greatest entertainer ever!!!

LARRY,

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR COVERAGE ON MICHAEL THIS PAST 2 WEEKS. I GREW UP WITH MICHAEL. HE SANG TO ME AS IF I WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND. I REMEMBER LISTENING TO ALL HIS SONGS IN THE SUMMER TIME, THINKING OF MY LOVE AT THE TIME. HE WAS BRILLIANT. I FEEL SADDENED THAT PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT HIM AS A REAL PERSON AND FATHER. HE WAS SO TALENTED AND FULL OF LOVE. I FEEL A SORT OF EMPTINESS. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIM AND THE JACKSON 5. FROM A LITTLE TOWN IN MISSOURI, WESTON, MO.

Dear Linda Gunnett,
Pray for the people in the world, day and night. It will get better some day.
Love Rosie

micheal you are god gift and for paris you touch my heart I can,t stop crying like he was my father too love you mj

I grew up to MJ and Im 16 I wish he could have lived longer for my generation he is a great man. I hate all this new rap music thats all depressing and about sex or breakups. Im gonna miss his upbeat style of music. R.I.P. King of pop my generation missed a great time era of pop.

His talent and music will live on for generations to come. He was a true genius.

I wish the world could have seen and heard all of what has been said since Michael's death...maybe they could have seen him as a human being and realized he was a loving, caring person...father...brother...son. Maybe people who ridiculed and judged could have seen what would come from that and would have laid off it and left him alone to live a happy and peaceful life. Imagine if he could have been respected by everyone and praised....imagine all that he could have been to this world! We all lost a very special human being....due greatly to the abundant ridicule and pressure from stupid people that can't just enjoy a talented person...they have to hound them and follow them and judge them and look for every little bit of dirt they can possibly get on them and then make some more up along the way. People need to step back and see what they are doing to people like Michael Jackson. It's so sad that even though he was "loved" by so many.....he was so very lonely all the time. Now he leaves his 3 precious children behind. I'm so very glad that Katheryn has custody of the children and I hope that she can instill some of the Creators ways in them and they can someday enjoy a normal life. They can see their father one day again.....Kathryn, I know you can do a wonderful job with those children, may Jehovah God bless your efforts and your lives. Our sympathies and hearts go out to you and your family.

Michael was a true blessing and gift from God. I am 42 years old and during my teen years my bedroom was like a shrine to Michael. I am so ashamed how so many people treated him during his way too short lifetime. I feel blessed to have been to his concerts and still to this day love to listen to his music. But more important, was his love for mankind and his giving nature, even when he was being attacked in the media. I have a wonderful memory of standing in LA with my parents as we were part of the we are the world movement to join hands across the world. I know that God is good and that Michael is now rejoicing in heaven, with no more evil around him. My prayers go out to his family, especially to his mother Katherine. I am the mother of 3 wonderful children, and no mother should ever have to bury a child. GOD BLESS the whole Jackson family. May your memories may you smile and help to keep him alive in your heart. Love and blessings, Tami Martin

The memorial wa so solemn , it was very gratifrying , it really give him justice.I was crying the whole time. Everyone did a great job.,especially ursher, he did a marvellous job. We would remember this moment forever. Let the media leave michael alone and his kids so they could strive. He has define his own legacy, so we do not need to define it for him. We love you michael, always and forever

MJ is smiling on us from Heaven! RIP MJ and Sweet Dreams!

I was so moved by this memorial today!!!words can't express my heartfelt sympathy for his family. I have loved MJ's music since I was young. I am 48 and grew up listening to him and his brothers. May he rest in PEACE, GOD BE WITH US ALL. I just hope all the negative statements will finally STOP

I grew up with Michael Jackson. He was an unexplainable talent and will be missed forever by many. SO WHERE WAS LIZ TAYLOR AND DIANNA ROSS??? How rude!!

It was very joyous and emotional ceremony. I learned that never to judge a person what media says about any human being. You truly never a human mind and heart until you have personal communication with that person to find out what they are thinking and feeling.

Never, Never, Never judge a person what has been said about him.

MJ was God's gift to whole world to open their heart, apperciate and be respectful of each other – regardless race, color or religion.

Rose.

Michael Jackson was truly the greatest performer of all time and he will be missed

THE REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR TODAY WAS ONE OF GLOBAL UNITY, LOVE, COMPASSION, AND TRULY INSPIRATIONAL.
MAXIMUM RESPECT TO THE ENTIRE JACKSON FAMILY, MAY BLESSINGS OF STRENGTH BE YOURS TODAY AND ALWAYS!
LOVE, SUSAN & STEVEN

I pray that all news coverage will let this man rest in peace...Does it matter that he was in debt? Not to his family. Leave his past in the past it doesnt matter anymore...He is gone. We cant judge him only God can. Only God knows where Michael is lifting up his head. Lets not be so quick to cast stones when we live in glass houses ourselves. Michael was just a MAN.

Larry – do you think they will sell the DVD of todays memorial? I would love to purchase a copy.

This farewell memorial service was ONE CLASS ACT!
God bless the Jackson family, especially the children.

thank you to the Jackson family for allowing us to say good bye to Michael Jackson. He will never be forgotten. Little Paris brought tears to my eyes when she spoke. We love you MJ!!!

His music was from my finest years and now i am left with tears. I will alway's , alway's remember him. LHN

Representing The Dominican Republic, rest in peace MJ.
You will never be forgotten.
ADIOS AMIGO

I grew up with michael and his wonderful heartfelt music, I hate his life had to be lived as he went through with all the ridicule, being accused. All the people that took advantage of him instead of embracing him and his wonder love he had for the human race. What star in this world has ever donated money or raised so much money and oh my all he done for the kids. To the Jackson family I'm so sorry for the loss of Michael but remember always he is and always will be with us, and lives on in his children. God Bless you.

What a beautiful tribute. It was really fit for a KING!!!! There will never be another artist like Michael and he definitely did leave too soon. Much love to the Jackson family!!!

Michael Jackson was a hero . The media should show their respect and keep his children out of the spot light . He is not here to shield and protect them.

Michael was both an international icon and an hero that will surely be missed.

Michael had the voice of an angel. The next time you hear one of his songs, take a moment to really listen to his voice. It's absolutely beautiful. There will NEVER be anyone like him. I feel sad that he had to live his life as a victim of his own success; so loved, yet so lonely.

My heart feels torn to pieces. The memorial today was beautiful and I was pleased that Michael's song GONE TOO SOON was used so artfully by Usher. But, nothing, no one will ever take the place of Michael's genius, Michael's loving heart, Michael's brilliant dancing. My love goes out to his family. He will always be loved and treasured. What a blessing to have had him for even a short time.

I am still speechless, it was beautiful. RIP Michael.

Nice covering larry, Michael we miss u , WORLD Heart is Aching Today .....finally u are @ peace .....

MJ was a phenomenal performer whose rich legacy will live on forever!

The world did not only lose a music genious but a wonderful human being. We love you Micheal! May your soul rest in peace.

And today the world stood still and shed a tear. The community as one. Brought together again by this beautiful soul, who only wanted to share the light in his heart. The glorious colors that came from his music and poetry. The people who joined together to celebrate the life, the work, the wonder, the love that this wonderful, beautiful spirit brought to the world. I think we all should remember that through time the most wonderful souls have been subjected to ridicule, scorn, torment and haterid. Only in time was their true beauty seen by all. I am sad for those who really knew Michael, and yet they are so blessed that they were able to be a part of the true beauty and love that he tried to share with the world. Thank you for the music that you gave us. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. You will be forever missed, but never forgotten.

This was just the most moving tribute; so appropriate for a legend and man of his stature. I love MJ he was magical to me.

I think today's memorial was awesome. MJ is loved by many, his music will live on with us, now he is at peace. God bless the Jackson family thanks for giving us so many memories.

The loss of Michael Jackson, was a loss of some of my childhood. I love you,MJ. Rest in Peace.

Dear Jackson Family:
Thank-You for allowing the world to bear witness to such a beautiful soul-stirring and historical farewell tribute to a loving member of your family -Michael Jackson aka The King of Pop aka The Greatest Entertainer In The World! His kind and gentle spirit will be missed.

My husband and I sat and watched the memorial today. Its still hard to believe he is gone. I feel a loss,its strange that I never met him but the loss is still there. I cant begin to understand the loss that his family feels at this time. Now after all is said and done. Hes in Gods hands. I have no doubt And maybe just maybe hes there with my loved ones singing with the angels. Rest in peace Michael, and God bless your family and children.

Beautiful Service. I know Michael is with God smiling down on us all. May God continue to bless and keep his family. We love you Michael. Although we miss you, we all know you're in a better place.

May Michael finally get the peace that he deserves.

Where was Diana Ross?

I loved his SMILE, it was beautiful! I still cant believe he's gone. I will always love him... God Bless you Michael Jackson RIP!!

This was an absolute wonderful memorial. We lost an ICON but heaven gained an ANGEL. There is not enough words to describe MJ. We all have atleast one great memory of this man. My heart goes out to his children. We lost an entertainer but they lost their father. I pray that their heartache is replaced by love. God Bless the Jackson family.

Michael Jackson made history and inspired me. He will never be forgotten. I will smile even though my heart is aching.

1. Immense talent.
2.. Too much success too fast.
4. Tragic personal life as a result

He seemed to be always craving for the childhood he never had. All these deep longings led to his many eccentricities and bizarre behavior. Now, in death, may he finally find the peace and happiness that so eluded him while alive, despite the adulation of millions of fans worldwide.
Michael Jackson will be remembered by everyone, he was a musical genius.

I loved his music and his lovely children are his greatest legacy.

I have always felt bad for Michael Jackson because of the way the media treated him. I am a teacher and see many children who are considered "different" and are ostracized for their actions or the way they look. When the song "Will You Be There" was performed today it really made me think about what Michael wanted – to be loved and cared for. Some of his songs seem eerie now that he's gone because he sang about what he felt inside. There is a lesson to be learned from Michael; even though some people are not what we consider normal, that doesn't mean they deserve to be ridiculed and treated like a circus freak.

MJ may God rest your soul. I don't think there was a dry eye in the world when Paris spoke. I'm still crying. My God bless those beautiful children!!

Michael has finally found peace in the comfort of his maker who will say to him it's OK now Michael. The Pain is over. You are here forever and there will be no more judgement. Your heart will be protected for eternity.
Those of you who judged him (and you know who you are) I wouldn't want to stand in front of the maker when he hands down your sentence & judgement.
I am also happy to say I can sleep tonight because I am not one of you,.
When you realize (now much too late) I pray that same loving forgiving lord we have will be willing to maybe give you a second chance..maybe...

Judge not lest ye be judged...

In his passing we get to see the "life" that others shared with him. His mystique de-mystified by the many comments that those around him shared. I was moved hearing Brooke Shields but i was brought to tears hearing Paris honor her "daddy". After all he was just a man. We all made him bigger than life. I do hope that now he will rest in peace and that those children will have as private a life as possible.

To The Jackson Family,
He give strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak. The people who trust the Lord will become strong again.
They will rise up as an eagle in the sky; they will run and not need rest;
they will walk and not become tired. Isaiah 40:29-31

This amazing man showed us all that one person can make a difference. He has defined my life through his music. He will NEVER be far from our hearts. It is now our responsibility to give his gift of love!

The World can believe it or not.... They just lost a Pure Genius.

Like so many others, Michael was a big part of my family growing up. We listened to his music all the time and my brother learned to dance by watching Michael's videos. I tought the memorial was an excellent tribute to such a talented musician and a wonderful humanitarian. Paris brought me to tears with her heartfelt statement to her father.My heart goes out to those beautiful chidren and the entire Jackson family. May God bless and carry you through this difficult time.

To the Jackson family, you lost a father, son, and brother who was beloved by his fans not only for his music, but also for his sweet, gentle, and kind spirit. Michael will live on in our hearts forever!

Michael Jackson was an integral part of the soundtrack of my life. As I reflect back on major parts of my life, his music was ALWAYS there. I feel so deeply for his family, especially his children and mother. It is never easy to lose a loved one. I lost my father almost a year and a half ago. It is never and easy thing to endure but we must move forward with our lives. We NEVER, never forget the ones we love. We carry our parents’ legacy forward within us. Always remember.

To Michael’s children I say “be encouraged,” your father will always, always be in your heart. Never lose sight of that. It will cheer you on the difficult days and it will make the good days even brighter. Carry that with you forevermore. My family and I pray for all of the Jackson family during this time.
Sharon Ann

God Bless your family may the Lord comfort your family at this time of sorrow.We love Michael.

I thought that the memorial service was beautiful! I have been a Michael Jackson fan for as long as I can remember. I thought that it was ironic that both Michael Jackson and James Brown both passed away on the 25th day of the month. Being that I live in Augusta,GA, the hometown of James Brown- aka "The Godfather of Soul", I was blessed to be able to see Michael Jackson in person for the first time ever in my life at James Brown's funeral. I just wish that it was at one of his shows instead of at a funeral. It truly lets you know what type of person he really was by taking the time out to travel to little Augusta, GA to attend The Godfather's funeral... We've truly lost two legends in my short lifetime!

I grew up with Michael Jackson, and loved all his music! My 20 year old son started listening to MJ's songs at age 14. He was the one to tell me of MJ's death. We are extremely saddened, but we know Michael is in a better place now. God bless his soul, and God Bless his sweet children who are left behind.

I am still mourning, but today's memorial to mj helps me because I felt close to all his family, friends and fans. We have lost not only the greatest entertainer ever but an amazing humanbeing. Thank you for allowing us to view this amazing memorial to Michael. I only wish that he could see this outpouring of love for him.

Be proud of the man in the mirror Michael. RIP

I am so sad. I grew up with Michael and would cry if anyone said anything bad about him. I will miss his music and his talent. Isn't it sad that we only ap[reciate people and give them their flowers after they leave. He was a genius and so misunderstood. I hope that now he is able to remove the masks and reflect on all that he leaves behind. If I could only moonwalk!!! Thank you for a an outstanding memorial and tribute to someone who shaped my life through music and dance!!!

Mr. King,
Thank you for the opportunity to let us speak. My heartfelt condolences to Michael Jacksons Family first and foremost. The memorial was World Class, thats all you can say I was so moved to see the people who did Love and respect him honor him in such a dignified way. I grew up with the Jacksons, they are a part of my life. It shows the world that all people are not cruel and vicious. Kudos to Rev. Al Sharpton and Congresswoman Jackson Lee, I cried my eyes out during their speeches. And the little mean streak that i have managed to surface and say to Congressman Peter King HA!! What do you have to say now? Guess you stand alone on that one. Will you stop and read the Plaque on the wall of the House?! Dare Ya. Mr. Larry King you are also Class thats why you were there.

Dear Jackson family my thoughts and prayers are with you always. Just remember 1st Cor.12:9

My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness

Elana Barnett

Blessings and strength to the Jackson family during their time of loss. Thank you for sharing your son/brother/father with us. Despite what some say, we were blessed to have you, Michael. Thank you for your hard work, entertainment, inspiration and love. Miss you much!!

I attended the memorial service today and I can tell you that this world is so fortunate to have had a gift straight from God named Michael Joseph Jackson. On the other hand, I disagree with the comment made by his current concert promoter that Michael was "...preparing for his greatest comeback ever". You missed the boat, Mr. Promoter. You should have paid more attention to the audience in the Staples center and around the world. People of all colors, faiths, languages, and ages gathered together to honor this one moment in history around a single man, Michael Jackson, in celebration of life and music. That my friend, is Michael's greatest comeback and simultaneously, greatest gift to each of us. Michael's "call" to Heaven was a gift to him for a job well done...he needed not to "come back" or prove he was the greatest to anyone. I think today's ceremony proved that... Thank you Jackson family for allowing us to share this day of happy and sadness with you. We are forever grateful to you all.

I was so very appreciative that you, the family, shared Mr. Michael Jackson with the world on this day. Christ was ridiculed and never did a wrong to anyone. Michael was a mortal being sent by Christ and taken by home by Christ. I along with billions in this world share in your lost and grief. Michael is gone, but never will be forgotten.

he was and is an inspiration to us all.

Michael will continue to live in our hearts. R.I.P

I'll always 'remember the time' when I first heard MJ's songs and I just couldn't let go of him! The 'dance floor' will always shine and we won't 'stop until we get enough' cause that's 'the way he makes us feel' and even though he's 'gone too soon' we'll 'rock with him' through his music and videos.

The world, the music, my life, everything feels tremendously empty without Michael Jackson... but now he has the sky as a dance floor and I'm sure he'll teach the angels how to do the moonwalk!

You will always be remembered and I'll love you forever Michael and from the bottom of my heart and soul, thank you for EVERYTHING!

All the way from Dominican Republic I say to you: Rest in peace baby cause you well deserve it! C'ya later!

You will be missed M J. The only hang-up I have about this is that you probable did not know how much you were loved by the world. You have impacted lives and that will never change. Miss you RIP.

One of the gentlest souls we will ever know. When I think of Michael Jackson, I think of light, life and love. Everything positive. I never had the good fortune to meet him but he will always be in my heart.

jackson family , i pray for you and especially michael's children. may God always keep his angels around them and protect them. the service was beautiful and filled with class. thank you ...for sharing your son michael with the world....paris your dad was so peoud of you, take of your brothers love to you and yours and thanks for teaching at least part of the world that our character is not defined by the 8 colors in a crayon box!!!!!!! always and forever

To Michael's family my deepest sympathy, my heart goes to his daughter and sons.
Michael, you and your family will be in my daily prayers.
I never met you, however part of my heart is gone with Michael.
I don't see him only as an brilliant person but as someone who gave unconditional love to everyone.
Michael for ever RIP.

What a wondrous event and s fitting tribute to a person who has touched so many. Paris was a great finish... I wonder if Rep Peter King heard her speak. Would he have the nerve now to call her Dad a pervert...?

Hi,

I am from Chicago and 27 years old.

One thing that comes to mind when I think of Michael Jackson is back in the day when I was a kid going up to Wisconsin for overnight camp on a big bus listening to "Black or White" on my walk-man.

I hope the sadness does not last too long for everyone.

This should have never happen I wish someone was there in time to stop this from happening. I grew up with his music and watched his videos from childhood to adulthood and feel the hurt as if it was my own brother that past away which has happened in real life to me also. The world will miss him dearly. If he wanted to make a come back it was only for the new generation and boy he made an impact. When my time comes I will look for you Michael in heaven. Love you and Miss you Dearly. Lots of Healing to the children and family. Never forget you will be with him one day in Heaven and Michael is always with you. Just take time and look at eachother and you will see him everyday. Neverending Memories Michael...Love you.

The Memorial was very respectful to the King Of Entertainment Michael Jackson, My mother is heartbroken. she has been a fan of the Jackson's for 38 years. Me and my mother are hurting and we offer our condolences to his entire family, from your fans in Memphis

MJ is a Living Legend, he may not be here with us on earth but WILL always be in Our HEARTS.
Love Valrie Knowles

The tribute to Michael today was a tribute to his family. It was a beautiful send off to the greatest entertainer of all time. It was just the right amount of memories, performance, and eulogy. His daughter Paris really brought home the message that in the end, as beloved as he was to all of us, he was the dad that three children loved deeply.

MJ is a musical guru! He will truly be missed! xoxo frm Jamaica

Micheal, Prince, Paris and Blanket, you have my love always

I am wondering why Oprah has come and out said nothing concerning MJ's passing. Any thoughts?

Yep! The Jackson 5 had a cartoon series...Check Youtube...

There are not enough words that could express the sorrow we feel, to the Jackson family and especially to Katherine Jackson and Michael's 3 children, always remember as Michael sang it perfectly, "You are not alone", may he forever moonwalk with the angels.

Michael..a synonym for inspiration and it WILL NEVER DIE!!!

It's so sad that somebody so great was only finally recognized as a person instead of a personality after his death.

I'll never forget the first time I heard "Billie Jean" and I'll never forget the love I saw today!

the king of pop went to meet the king of rock

The service was beautiful, i grew up with his music..he's close to my heart along with my childhood memories...RIP. M.J

Michael's memorial was not a concert of artists competing for the best vocal award; it was not a group of stars fronting, show-casing and trying to be seen; it was not an exhibit of fan-fare, gotcha, show-out and show-offs. It was a true and genuine celebration of Michael's life, love and humanitarian gifts. His wonderful and gifted family exhibited the class bestowed upon them by their parents and Motown. Motown represented the best in Michael and the best of Michael. Mr. Gordy and Mr. Robinson said it best. The world is truly a better place since Michael Jackson has made a change. Thank you Michael.

michael was a phenomenal artist and the entire world will miss him!

I want Michael's family to know that my heart is broken for you all. I grew up listening to Michael's music and loving everything about him. May the good Lord give you all strength to get through this most difficult time and to his 3 beautiful children god bless you all I know he loved you dearly. xox from NL, Canada.

Michael home going was fit for a King and King he was. To the Jackson family my prayers are with you.

Michael was the first artist to visit my country after the Revolution,in 1992 and later came back, in 1996.He supported an orphanage here for 11 years.
I feel blessed I got to be at one of his concerts and I`m just grateful I got to live in these times as to appreciate a great composer,dancer,the perfect entertainer, but also the shy, polite,playful,kind human being, and most of it all, "the best father you can ever imagine".
Today you once again brought us together as we sang,danced,smiled and cried all at the same time.
I know you`ll continue to watch over your children and over all the children in the world and that through your music you`ll inspire us to keep on singing,dancing and making a change.
And our best tribute for you would be love and peace and to your kids, normalcy.
Thank you. I love you, Michael!

I never realized how emotional I would be. I love him

I am well pleased with the farewell ceremony to Michael today. I will miss my childhood "dream" boyfriend.

Micheal will ever be in our memory, he is a true legend and the greatest of all entertainer of our generation.

RIP Michael. Your memorial was a wonderful tribute to your wonderful talents.

Yes, michel jackson was a icon, and a bueatiful person inside and out. i miss him because i relized that he was a remarkable person. i wish i had the chance to be a close friend of michel, not because he was a super star, but because i wished i could have been there to tell him that i am here for you and i do not judge you. i'm sure that's wat his family and friends did. God said i will not put more on you than you can bare. God decided that michel had all he could bare, even though he was gone far too soon.

this day was incredible...it was like watching the inauguration all over again...just seeing people of all races, colors and cultures together was so satisfying to witness, (again)....this proves that we CAN... all live in harmony.

Michael Jackson was an inspiration to all- He will be missed

I'm a nurse, who works nightshift. I could not miss the memorial to Michael Jackson, so I awoke after just an hour sleep to watch it. It was so very touching. I felt it was very well done, and was especially touched by Jermaine's version of "Smile", including M.Js daughter, Paris's touching words for her father at the end. I couldn't stop crying! I grew up with Michael's music, and have grown to love him over the years, as everyone in our era has. There will never be another Micheal Jackson!

Hello,
As I was watching the memorial service today, I remembered something- that Michael Jackson was a person with an amazing soul. All the 24 hour coverage has been crazy sometimes balanced sometimes sneering. However, in this past week, no one has mentioned the humanitarian causes that MJ supported, founded, or all of the personal efforts he made to aid others. Can you imagine giving 500 million dollars to charity- we make such a big deal of celebrities who gave 1 million or so. Just thinking- that is about the debt he now owes. All the eccentricities and foibles that are being covered seem so silly now. Bringing up the allegations etc. for which MJ was found not guilty of, seems very disrespectful to me.
His legacy is that he gave millions happiness and hope. Hope that the world would be a better place – in the form of music, personal attention, money, and even in character.
It is such a shame that MJ has passed and NOW we realize.

I pray that we all remember the way we felt today as we watched and listened to the tribute to Michael Jackson. As tears rolled down my and my 15 year old daughters face it struck me what this dear man had to go through to get to the end of his life. He was truly a gift from God that all too often we took for granted. We are truly the World and we must take a minute each day to love one another. Rest in Peace sweet boy, you have certainly more than earned it.

Michael's Memorial was sad but beautiful. God bless his children and family. Jesus wept because he was persecuted and today I wept because I feel that Michael was a gift from God and so many hurt him with the rumors, greed and all the awful tabloids. If only they had taken time to understand that he had a pure sweet childlike innocence, a true gift from God, and not some corrupt wicked soul. God bless you Michael. Thank you for all you have given the world. I know you're with the King of Kings, God Almighty. RIP.

Thank you M.J. for the memories. You will forever live in our hearts.

I'm in disbelief that he is truly gone. I feel like I've lost a family member today.

I was lucky to visit Neverland and meet Michael and wanted you to know that Brooke's reference was to MJ's Neverland logo – a boy (I don't know if it's michael as a kid) perched on a crescent moon... i thought it was a very lovely thought and made me smile thru tears

Thank you Micheal for your amazing contribution to the performing arts! Deeply missed!

So sad to lose a kind and gentle soul who wanted to remain an innocent child. What is wrong with that? He was a man who wondered why the world was the way it was, and was badly misunderstood and treated poorly by many people who need to "look in the mirror." Such a phenomenal entertainer that will go down as a super icon for all of history. There will never be another Michael Jackson, and it's sad that it takes someone's death, to realize how really special they are. RIP Michael... I hope you can now find some of the peace you were unable to find in this world that can unfortunately be so cold and cruel nowadays.

Condolences to Michael's family, friends, and millions of fans.

Also, a very nice memorial service today... including a great and heartfelt performance by Usher, and a very genuine and heart-breaking moment when Paris spoke about her father.

Oh, and someone please tell the father he's acting inappropriately, when he comes out and says that he is "great" and promotes a record company, days after his son's death. What is THAT?

What amazed me since Michael died are the people who have said what a good friend they were with Michael which in a way is almost unheard of to have so many friends.

Generally, most people have very few good friends but all those that have talked about being good friends with Michael seem to express how really good friends they were.

That to me says that Michael must have made all those around him feel very special and that certainly shows what a tremendous person Michael must have been.

Michael:

My children and I will miss you eternally. My love goes out to your family and you. Thank you for the unconditional memories and you will forever live in our hearts. We love you Michael!!!

To Prince ,Paris and Blanket
You will always be in the hearts of all, your dad's legacy will live on forever with you in mind. God bless today and always....

He truely will be missed by millions of people as he had a gift and made people happy..

I am a 47 year old mother of a teen. I was rather unaffected by Michael's death ( I thought). I have cried many tears today. I cannot imagine the PAIN that this talented man endured. Yes...I have forwarded cruel internet jokes at Michael's expense and suddenly I am so very ashamed and sorry very sorry for it all. We were all guilty of being mean, crewl and judgemental of a man that I more and more feel like was just like my own inner child. Have we "stoned this msan" by proxy???? We could have much better spent our time focusing on KNOWN evil in our own government and financial structure than to pick on this fragile man of such talent. Was he the real life :Truman Show???" Sadly, I think so...

MJ you will be missed and love R.I.P The memorial service was great I loved it

Many people are perplexed about why people are so touched and personally engaged in the passing of Michael Jackson...particularly those of you in the media. Consider this: Michael's music touched that place in each of us that knows we can heal the world, that we can be kind to one another, that we can have peace in our time. Perhaps the leaders of the world need to take a lesson...the people want peace!

Larry king, thank you so much for all you have covered on my idol . Many people have said that there has been too much coverage on Michael Jackson , but all u have done to celebrate the life of this gifted , amazing person means alot to many people and especially to me. Thank you so much.

I haven't stopped crying for the last 10 days. I wake up wishing it's a nightmare! What an amazing and moving memorial. Befitting a KING!

Michael Jackson was an inspiration to everyone! The big small and all colours of people in this world. No matter how much the tabloids may have put him in the face of the world he never disappointed those who truly believed in him!! Michael healed the world. I sympathize with the Jackson family and not forgetting his children and his dear fans whom his music will live in their hearts forever!!!

I was pleasantly surprised at the memorial,.. I'm so glad it was so well done. I was so afraid it would be a 3 ring circus. I think Michael would be proud. But, I still don't trust JJ. I think he used his son to get what he has, and will use his grandchildren the same way. I pray for God to protect them.

i wish that i could go to michael's children an give them a big loving hug and commfort them their going through so much and i can relate in so many ways im only 14 i lost my father a year after i was born before my bday and my prayers are with there family ....

Are me and my family going crazy or was there an image of Michael Jackson visible in flowers that were on stage. Once we spotted it was hard to miss.

Thanks Michael,

Thanks for this simple ceremony. Respect to the artist and his familly. When Paris got up and spoke I just began to cry for the first time since we got this bad news of the Michael death.

Thanks to Larry King to did all perfect interview during the weeks, especially with Jermaine Jackson and Miko Brando. I never watch cnn before like the last week. All the world lost a friend. He was a part of our live since the 70's. Hope one day, I can visit Neverland with my kids as I visit Graceland with my father few years ago.

I'm 33, and my 3 boys know who is this man now 🙂 Celine Dion and Michael Jackson...

Only thing, where's Macaulay Culkin? Eddie Murphy ? great friend of MJ. Why we don't received any feedback for both of them

Michael Jackson's memorial was such a moving tribute to "the greatest entertainer that ever lived." Despite the ills in our world, it's such an amazing rush to smile at the good therein. My prayers and thoughts are with the family at this time. Grace, peace and love to all.

Michael Jackson concert tickets... $150.00, Michael Jackson albums...$50.00, Michael Jackson...PRICELESS!!!!!

Thank you, Michael, for the magic.

My heart bleeds. My soul sings...bless you, Michael.

As I type this am filled with grieve, I cried each time I saw Michael's daughter Paris on the stage talking about how her dad was the f
best father you can imagine! I was touch by this little girl who and her brothers will never see they father again, omg look at all these goose bumps I have!! May the Loard help them through these difficult time.

I am 56 and a part of my soul died with Michael. I truly loved him and his music, and I have cried all day watching the Memorial. Michael would have been honored to know he really had so many people that loved him. He was not alone, and I think he knows it now as he looks down at the World. My condolences to the Jackson Family and Children. God Bless You.

Please let Michael go home to his beautiful Neverland.

I am a longtime fan of Michael Jackson. I remember the first tv appearance on the Ed Sullivan with his brothers. I remember getting a couple of dollars to buy the magazines (Rignt On and Sixteen) every month. I was impressed with the beautiful tribute to Michael Jackson.I was moved by the words of his daughter Paris Katherine. I just want the Jacksons to know that they are a beautiful family and know that they are loved. I will be praying for you all and MJ "children. Michael Jackson legacy will live on forever. I will miss him.

I am over 60 and have lost loved ones, but never anyone like Michael. He rocked my world the way no one ever could!!

Not loo long ago the world said many hurtful words about Michael Jackson and he heard every word uttered from the mouths of his critics, his judge and from CNN.com. Today the world are saying all those wonderful words about Michael Jackson, his admirers, his friends and CNN.com BUT he can't hear a word you are saying. It is so sad isn't it? Why not practice on respect, honour and love when the person is still alive and well rather than giving him the biggest honour BUT he is not even there.

If we give 10% of this type of attention to our fallen soldiers, how much we can bring comforts to their families and the troops in the field?

I wonder what we will do next.

Michael was larger than life he will be forever missed but one thing people need to stop doing is comparing him to Elvis or the Beatles there is really no comparison Michael was the consummate entertainer, philanthropist humanitarian the world has ever seen. RIP MJ

Today, was for me a day like no other, I sat and I watched the services for the homegoing of the Greatest, truly the Greatest entertainer of all time, and I just cried, It was as though I had no control over my own emotions, I didn't want to cry because as Mr. Stevie Wonder put it best, although we may want him here with us, God knew best, and he must have needed his angel more. But the out pour of love, the class, in which the services were persented and the comments & reflections about such a wonderful giving man, I could not fight back what was only natural for me, as I was touched so greatly. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family & true friends, but also my thanks, for giving us such a wonderful human being, someone to look up too, someone who was so real. There could never be another, you are the best Michael, the world can think and say what ever they may about you, but God knows who you are, who he made you to be, and I think that your family can rest knowing that you served your purpose here on this earth. You can rest now! Great Job Done! God Bless! & May your memory live on forever.

the memorial was done in good taste.... I just started crying when his daughter came up to the Mike to talk about her dad.... I feel sad for his kids.... may Michael rest in peace

Mj. Physically you may be gone from this world but your spirit & music lives on forever. Rest In Peace.

I cannot believe my Michael is gone! It hurts so bad!! But I know he's with Our Father who gave him to us as a gift, watched over him, hurt when he hurt, and laughed with him. There will never be another Michael Jackson! God's creations are never duplicated. We are all unique.
Life is short, they say. How true and how sad!
Love people. Be kind to your fellow man. Stop all these hating. You have only one life to live.
As a teenager, I slept with Michael's button under my pillow. He was very dear to me. I cannot believe he's gone.
You're with the angels now Michael! It's a peaceful, loving, and happy place up there. Thank you for everything and thank God for you!

Michael Jackson had the biggest heart and was a true inspiration!

No matter how many albums Michael Jackson sold or what conflicks surrounded him, at the end of the day he was someone's son, brother, and especially someone's father. Peace be with them.

The service was very moving. To share his life. I was happy to see Paris speak about Michael as a great loving father to his kids.

Michael is FINALLY, truly in Neverland, at last.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson. You will be missed.

He Is Now Gone But NEVER Forgotten. My Prayers And Thoughts Go Out The Entire JACKSON FAMILY. My Heart Is SORE, And Will Be For A Very Long Time. ...R.I.P

Our Government and our people have always looked for a way to unite people worldwide in an effort of peace. That one tie that could bind us together not seperate us as individual nations, but unify us as one. Today we honored that key that we have had for so many years and noone ever REALLY realized. All over the planet people stopped today and gathered to say good-bye to that universal binding tie. Why is it that we all realize only too late the impact that someone has had on our lives? To his family, may the love of Michaels fans that you have witnessed over the last few weeks never leave you.

May the one who is drowning
be safe on My shores
The one who is yearning
may he want no more.

The one who is lost
may he take my hand
And realize I too was
once merely a man.

The one who is weeping
may he cry out My name
For his heart and Mine
are one in the same.

The one who is dying
may he come unto Me
So the soul that he carries
will finally be free.

I wrote this for my Dad when he passed away almost 10 years ago. Michael my you find safety on His shores and finally be free.

Iam a fan of Michael and the Jackson 5. I have loved their music since I was a young lady here in Louisville, KY. When the news broke that he has passed away, I was in total shock! I am 49 yrs old and will be 50 in September, so he and his brothers are my generation. That's too close for comfort! I will always remember how my sister, cousins and I would "fight over" whose "boyfriend" Michael and his brothers were (hehe). Every week when my sister and I got our allowance we would go to the record store and buy their 45s and albums. Those were the good times my life. As of today I play his CDs for my children and they love the Jackson 5 Greatest Hits, Thriller, Off the Wall and Bad. He will be missed. God Bless his family and may Peace be with them. Stay strong and God will do the rest.

What a beautiful service.......if he only knew.......God Bless!

Michael Jackson is/was an American treasure!...his music is the soundtrack of our lives. I feel lucky and privledged to have seen him in concert with the Jackson 5, witnessed the Motown 5 special, watched Captain EO numerous times......I could go on forever, and even though I have never met him personally, I feel like I have lost a friend!.my thoughts/prayers with his family, and may his memory be eternal!!!

Dedicated to Michael

Love abounds.
Something to be taught,
To our World, to Humanity.
What will it take? When will we finally learn?
To return to innocence,
So that we can truly and fully experience,
The energy of peace, love, joy, and wonder.
There are few who know this,
And they were put here on this earth,
To teach us to be innocent.
To let go of self, to let go of ego,
To love one another, unconditionally.
Without judgment, with an open heart,
So we can truly know and experience one another,
As the beautiful spirits that we are.
And that alone is all we need to know,
To have peace on earth.
We are all great,
Each and every one of us, with our light that shines.
So let’s share and accept each other’s greatness and uniqueness,
And be united as one.
One energy, one love, one peace.
It’s time to make a change.
We will never forget.
We will always remember.
Your beautiful spirit.
That is soaring high.
And your message of peace, love, joy, and wonder.
Love abounds.
Something to be taught,
To our World, to Humanity.
Soft Spoken, Singing, Dancing, Entertaining Powerhouse.
May your beautiful spirit forever soar.
