Didnt watch it, didnt really know it was on if im truthful, but did see part of it on ITV News, very moving.

As above, legend, in the true sense of the word.

I doubt anyone's death in the future, will have as big an impact on so many billions of people around the world.

I still firmly believe he should have had a Mausoleum built and been kept in the style of Lenin... given how white his skin was, he would'nt have been too hard to preserve to look life-like, and it would have made him as contraversial in death, as he was in life.

The gold coffin did'nt really do it for me, not crazy enough.

Yes., i been parked since 5pm. Thoroughly fantastic, fitting tribute. I especially enjoyed the reverand who repeated key parts three times.
Wow, what a girl- paris- so brave. And i feel so proud of the bgt lad- yiavash?. The whole tribute was fantastic, fitting, intimate and positive.
RIP Jacko x x x

the bgt lad shaeen, his family must be so pround, getting that far on BGT and being spotted my michael himself. i know its not a nice way to doing it but the amount of music producer/record companys who must of been present last night, that lad will be a star.
