I realize this is a bit late, but bear with me since I've been unable to compute for the last few days and am just now catching up.
Did anyone here watch the funeral for Michael Jackson which was shown on tv, or win a ticket to go there in person????
I was able to watch it on TV. It was done very beautifully, I thought. Although it was incredibly sad to me to watch it. I still can't believe he is gone. I felt so sad for his family, especially his kids and his mom.
I thought one of the best parts was when Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson sung what is supposed to be Michael's favorite song "Smile". Jermaine sung that so beautiful, even though it must have been incredibly hard for him to do it as emotionally as it must have been.
And, what do you think of the golden casket for Michael? I think I heard singer James Brown had one like that.
Oh yeah, I also thought it was cool that Michael's brothers, who were his pallbearers, wore a white, beaded glove on one hand ---- which was kind of Michael's signature, and this they did in honor of their brother.
Any other comments or opinions about the funeral?
