Bloody hell! *flicks over* Hmm, some bloke. Stop making it sound interesting! 
That was actually quiet moving, not sure the little girl should've been made to speak though. Aww, poor kid.
Michael Jackson RIP Page 22
I expect she wanted to.
Cripes I did cry at that bit. For some reason it never crossed my mind his kids were there.
I kept thinking I saw them, but not being sure.
I still can't get over the fact that the whole family really calls the youngest Blanket.
Yes, that's a bit odd. I totally imagine that they are still about 5.

Duvet? I mean, do they? Weird.

Ohmyf**kinggod. That little boy from Ant and Dec just performed. That's insane.
He was bloody good though.
Did some one make sure he got off the stage ok?
And a whitegloved hand didn't pop out of the coffin and snatch him inside.
They should have brought on the zombie dancers from the Thriller video and got MJ's corpse to pop out of the coffin using some Spielberg animatronics. That would really entertain the crowd of idiots...sorry ticket buying mourners.

A dinosaur or an alien? Well it could be either.
Hate to sound like a cynic (but I am one, so there it is), but did his daughter Paris' little speech, tears and hugging by the family, strike anyone else as a tiny little bit stage-managed? Forgive me if this sounds terrible, it's just that before she was due to speak she was extremely composed and chatting to others. Please do tell me if I should go and flog myself as penance for this thought crime.
I thought that, which is why I said it wasn't very nice.
I really don't think so.
I was watching her for the whole time they were on the stage at the end and she slowly got more sad and started fiddling with things and leaning against Janet Jackson and hiding her face and stuff.
There is a limit to reasonable cynicism y'know! Her dad died a week ago, do you really think she'd need to 'act' crying? Or be able to. She's only 11.
As I said I feel terrible for implying it, but objectively that's the way I saw it. I've no reason to doubt his kids' genuine grief.
I think this is more about us than her.
Most of us can only look at the whole MJ thing with cynicism, with all our energy going into making crap jokes about everything.
(and of course when I say 'our' I mean YOUR.)
