Enough!!!! About!!! MJ!!! no one took anything from MJ. No one forced him to any thing he chose to be a singer. every time he did a dance of some kind he grabed his croch what was up with that. He even admited to having kids sleep with him. PLEASE! A big glorifed funeral So!! what!! I don't ever recall seeing any big time funeral for our armed force those who died for this country. Where's all the glits,and glamour for thier funerals? We should be honoring them. yet all we hear is the aclu, or human rights run thier mouthes.

MJ was a glorified perv and would not have been anything on stage without all of the glitz and glamour and lights and without the help of Quincy Jones. If he had been the an average joe with all of the kiddy sleep overs they would have tar and feathered him. He was just a human being who was capable of sin like everyone else. He came into this world without anything and left without anything. One less sick individual. Thank goodness this crap is over so one can watch something else. Good riddance MJ.

You people are UNREAL. The man is dead,and still you talk your trash. You took his childhood, his teen years, and his adult life and turned it into a living hell....at least let him have one final moment in the spotlight, and let him finally find the peace that eluded him his entire life. It was a beautiful service for a beautiful human being... I hope that when you "haters" die, you have that much love in the room at your funeral. That is my wish for you, We should all be so lucky.... "Heal the world, make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race. There are people dying, if you care enough for the living, make it a better place for you, and for me." (mj) It starts with YOU people. It starts with you...."The Man in the Mirror". (mj) RIP MJ. The GREATEST entertainer of all time.

MAY MJ REST IN PEACE!! AS FOR PPL WHO MAKE COMMENTS THAT ARE SO RUDE HERES ONE FOR YOU. HE DIED, HIS FAMILY IS MOURNIN, HE WAS NEVER CONVICTED OF ANYTHING. HE WAS A RICH MAN THAT WAS USED BY MANY PPL. NOW, HOW WOULD YOU THAT HAVE NEG COMMENTS LIKE IT IF IT WERE ABOUT YOU? PUT THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH. YES SOME PPL DO GO OVERBOARD WITH MEDIA, AND FANS GO OVERBOARD. MAYBE THEY NEEDED SOMEONE TO LOVE. THE MEDIA LIKES THE DRAMA, I KNOW THIS PERSONALLY. I HAVE SEEN HOW THE MEDIA CAN SCREW UP AN INNOCENT PERSONS LIFE JUST LIKE IT DID FOR MJ AND OTHER INNOCENT PPL. SO GET OFF YOUR TUDE AND LET PPL MOURN IN THERE OWN WAY.

MJ was a once in a lifetime performer, no matter what age you are. It may be in our grand-childrens time before we are blessed with another talent as great. Not everyone appreciated MJ as it seems that once you are on top, the others below are clawing to pull you down. I am sure MJ did not want to die even though, on hindsight, he seemingly contributed to his own demise. MJ's passing makes it inevitable that huge viewer ratings are in the offing and this is the final opportunity for television networks to make a big pay day by sensationalizing his passing. MJ touched peoples' lives in different and unique ways, either listening to a song at a wedding, high school dance, night club, movie soundtrack (Free William) or just driving down the road. Once he is interred, the people who complain over media overkill will not likely see this type of event again solely for an entertainer. Remember, MJ did not create this media overkill, TV did.

I thought his service was moving and I shed a tear or so .Grew up with his music ,some good and some not. I dont think his death should have been that big of a deal.

You people and you're ignorance towards this man is what's nauseating!!! Dont respond to something you're really clueless about!!

RIP Michael. Not everybody in the Mid-Ohio Valley hates people that pass away and leave behind kids and family. Your family will be in our thoughts. If someone died locally, these individuals' comments would be completely opposite.

One thing for sure WTAP has done there part in over promoting Michael Jackson.

I for one will be so glad when they get off of this! It has been overdone to the point of nausea. Wonder how California will foot this bill?

was never a fan of MJ, but it was sad to watch him transform into what he became from all the money and fame, poor guy couldn't trust any adult, so he surrounded himself with children, which he abused his fame and fortune as well as the children. How sad.
