Well I wouldn't describe those who feel devastated by events "crazy" even I though I don't share their depth of feeling .. I just acknowledge that some are and think they're better to try and ignore the media and eBay jackals. As to the suicides referred to .. I don't know how much truth there is in that, although if some people had nothing to hold onto in their lives save their devotion to him, it's a sad reality and reflection on our times I think.

And even though like you I don't share the depth of feeling and sense of loss many of his fans do, whilst I'll say I think there are worse things in the world for me to feel bad about, I don't find MJ's death something to make fun of, nor would I try to wind up those who have taken it so hard. I'm not suggesting btw Andrew that you have done this .. but I think it's a poor show that there are those who would

If someone wants to kill themselves over Michael Jacksons death then let them, obviously they were a little nuts anyway

**allrevvedup** · 07 Jul 2009, 22:07

we all at some stage live our lives through something or someone...some just go that little bit extra and sometimes they never come back.

this huge unavoidable MJ business is also for people who want it to be, so I leave it to them. I avoided watching tributes on tv and didn't buy any magazines or read any forum about him. Long live the music. Peace.
As for people killing themselves over MJ's death, I find this even sadder ...

I just watched the news where they were showing the highlights of the tribute show thing memorial service whatever it is called. The thing that did stood out for me was when MJ's daughter spoke out and you realise the humanity of the loss for his own family. The rest is all background imo. I am kinda glad it is over now. I hope the media will respect the family and just stop talking about all this now. Probably won't happen.

The music lives on forever. I listened to the track History on the drive home. It's a fantastic well put together song imo.

I really wanted to watch this but we had to go out.

I did not like Mariah Carey, sorry to anyone who likes her.

But the little Michael montage I managed to glimpse before leaving left me with one or two tears.

Very emotional

You can probably catch it on BBC IPlayer?
To be fair they probably really did their best on the tribute. Thought his brother singing Smile was probably a good idea. Was surprised to see the casket was actually there. I will make a toast to him when I am in Disneyland next week as he deserves that from me personally. His music has made a huge impact on my life. Probably on the same level as Meat Loaf / Jim Steinman, Roxette and Bruce Springsteen I'd say.

well said Andrew, think a lot of people feel like that,hope you have a good time in the US next week

Pudding · 08 Jul 2009, 10:55

The memorial will probably be out on DVD next week.
