I might be the ONLY person on the planet not watching MJ's memorial service LIVE!!!
 

Woke up this morning to the sound of helicopters over my house following the Jackson Family to the private memorial...was looking forward to streaming the memorial at the office but the connection sucks and well, Im just hearing tidbits about it from friends who are watching it on TV. *Sigh*

Turns out Ive missed quite a bit including some moving speeches and of course performances by some talented artists including Mariah Carey singing my favorite Jackson 5 song.


So indulge me...what has been the most "touching" moment for you?

right now they are signing heal the world with his family on stage including his kids...I have something in my eye

Lol i am not watching it so...

Haven't seen a thing, could care less, busy with other things... like chasing Anne around facebook

Europeans Billing Europe!
 

I'm way too busy :1orglaugh And the best parts will be on all night :winkwink:

Here is a good link from another thread Kristen if you need to look :winkwink:

Oopps.... feed no longer available!

I don't know how many times I told my wife I didn't want to see or hear anything about it :disgust

I had to work from home because our offices are downtown LA and they wouldn't let us get there today (so sad for me lol), but was on a conf call most of the morning...managed to catch two acts that were amazing:

1. Mariah Caray
2. Jennifer Hudson
3. We are the World rendition

A lot of silent moments, more so because they didn't have smooth transitions...watch the performances on youtube later.

Back to work for me!

Glad to know I am not the only one with work to do :) Yes I agree, the highlights will be on tonight, tomorrow, and likely the rest of the week!!!!

We're working here at TopBucks today, no MJ stuff going on here.

The kids look good with out the usual masks on.

pretty sad when his daughter said a couple things at the end

Some moving words,his daughter at the end got me

yeah, that almost made me cry and Janet really seemed to be motherly to her.

nope - not watching it either

I am not watching it either.

I'll be glad when it is all over with to be honest.

Could care less, the guy had no impact on my life AT ALL... So he's just another dead person to me.

nope, i havent watched nes on the television in a very long time, and its been years since i watched a television program. I havent seen a single news story about mj. kill your television

you arent the only one who tunes out. i stopped watching television years ago, stuff will destroy your brain more than drugs

Making money and running my sites are more important then watching a memorial on tv imho.

I grew up listening to MJ and his brothers. I was watching that night they were on the Ed Sulivan Show. I've lived one year longer than him.

I've had mixed feelings about MJ because of the things I've had to speculate on.

After watching today I realized how much he is loved, the impact he's had on people world wide and the many, many ways he has contributed to make it a better place.

When my time comes, I'll slip out the back door unnoticed. Michael Jackson will be remembered forever. For that, he has my respect.

Hey everyone has the right to waste their time as they please. Unlike some others I COULDN'T care less.

Haven't had it on at all today.

I didn't watch it either, to be honest I didn't care enough to find out when it was. The guy was an awesome artist and did many great things but this media exposure is beyond ridiculous. With all the other IMPORTANT shit going on in the world this should NOT still be top story news for the second week in a row.

I mean how much longer is this stupidity going to continue. You got people seeing ghosts at Neverland, people seeing his image in a tree stump in their yard, etc.

The god damn world has lost its fucking mind.

:2 cents:

Not watching it here either, but I'm sure I'll catch it all on the news later tonight.

I didn't even know it was on. Now that I know, I don't care.

:1orglaugh I agree, and thanks for using the phrase correctly :winkwink: A couple people in here care more than they know.

I'm not watching or or even knew it was on.. I woke up and straight to work I went. No one will care when I die so why should I watch someone else's memorial shit? No disrespect ti MJ or anything, but I just don't care.

Didn't he touch some kids or something?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh yup! And I'm not watching it and I'll prolly avoid the news tonight so I don't have to watch it too :2 cents:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

yeah I noticed...stop working so hard, buddy. :winkwink:

:winkwink::winkwink::winkwink:

Not watching/didn't watch it.

Sorry I missed this post, I was watching the memorial. It was quite touching actually.

i tivo'd it
they should have done a huge performance of thriller

I turned it off. but I did listen to thriller on the way to work today

I totally forgot about the whole thing until I was waiting at the lawyer's office and browsed to CNN.com on my cell. 4 headlines.... all about MJ.
I then browsed to Facebook.

I like his great songs. But I'm not going to watch it!

most touching moment for me will be when we are finally done with all this crap...

heres a thought....News should be about the news....a dead guy isnt news, its entertainment and last i looked there are plenty of stations for that....umm...E!...

I'm going to wait till I get home and then I'm going to ask my wife about it.

--t

reading that someone else isn't watching it!

You sound like what a reporter from Fox News would do...

:winkwink:

That's RIGHT! You won tickets to go to Staples and gave them to her...hope they got through all the chaos ok today!

I'm not watching it either but I can tell you what going on.. everyone is twittering away and updating their FB with MJ memorial stuff..

I'm over it by now.

i had live stream for few minutes via tmz, i am fucked :D

you are not alone...
I'm not watching it along with 1mil other people on pornhub.com right now :)

Been busy all day here as well. Not working exactly, just "busy"
-- had a workout this morning, visited some of the family all afternoon, just got home from dinner out and am now gearing up for an evening ride on the river trails on my mountain bike.

You know... "busy" :D

No, he was acquitted on all 10 counts.

very sad day
