Mariah’s performance made me tear up. It was a wonderful performance.
The music was certainly moving and brought me to tears. I felt so bad when Usher broke down at the end of his song. The one thing that truly made me cry was Paris. The whole family was hugging her and supporting her, but she was desperate to speak and say what she really wanted to say. The moment she said, “Daddy” I couldn’t take it. She is only eleven–far too young to have lost a father that was far too good. R.I.P Michael Jackson. We love you so much.
Totally lost it when Jermaine sang. Lost it again when Paris spoke. From someone who also lost her dad at 11 years of age, she’s got a long road ahead of her. He raised three beautiful kids. Godspeed MJ.
John Mayer was all about what Michael was all about – the music. I normally loathe Mayer but all props to him today. Stevie Wonder was heartbreakingly wonderful. I normally like Usher but I cringed when he left the stage and kept his damn sunglasses on.
what a beautiful memorial and tribute it was for dear michael jackson. his lovely daughter paris broke my heart as did germaine,brook shields,john mayer,we are the world. wish i was there,michael had a heart of gold and was/is the worlds greatest entertainer.i will never forget him,love him always.may he rest in peace
@queen of disrepair – Usher took the shades OFF at the end, right after he was looking at MJ at the end. He took them off and gestured to the family and all.
Jermaine’s was brillant… he’s been a great spokesperson. And obviously he can still sing! Plus he’s the best-looking of the other brothers. Big sigh.
Jacko was a wacko, and a sicko.
I don’t care that he is dead.
His family is even more sad then he was….are we going to keep putting his dead body on stage until no one will pay to see him (like the Pope on tour?). Money hungry family is sad
Stevie Wonder.

I thought it all sucked, he is a pervert and child molester and should not have been given the media attention. Al Sharpton also is an idiot.
to me.. all of the performances were great EXCEPT for Mariah Carey. She was hoarse.. she couldn’t hit the notes. so, instead of letting her voice go out (like she did in the beginning), she started compensating with a “yeah yeah yeah.” it was awful. Trey was miles better than her. She was horrible. Everyone else was great… from Jennifer Hud to Stevie Wonder. They were fabulous.
I don’t know why Jeniffer Hudson has to yell every time she sings but the Best performance was Jermaine Jackson singing Michael’s favorite song Smile by Charlie Chaplin.
to all those that have negative thoughts and comments it shows that your the ignorant fools his music could not reach. the one comment that changed my entire thoughts of michael were al sharptons when he told his kids. “YOUR FATHER WASNT STRANGE THE THINGS HE HAD TO DEAL WITH WERE STRANGE” that man dealt with things your dumb ignorant asses could never ever imagine.. you dont know what its like to never be able to walk in a park randomly without having to shut it down to public. or running to a taco bell and he’s lived that way since he was a kid. not too mention INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY WHICH HE WAs not found so too all those with negative comments “SDFU” LET THE MAN BE !
I was most moved by Stevie Wonder’s & John Mayer’s performance
Stevie had amazing emotional knowing and expression; he lived his song. Very beautiful, very loving and honoring.
John Mayer & Co. created the sense of a band supporting a missing main performer (MJ); dignified & respectful, honoring the soul. Very nice.
Michael Jackson inspires me to, all day every day, consider who I am and who I be for myself and others; God doesn’t make spare parts.
God bless all of us.
Why does Mariah still sing live? Her voice is shocking!
All The Performences were GREAT!
it Was Very Very Sad! Though That Are King! Has Passt!! 
My He R.I.P WE LOVE YOU MJ!! YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON! In ARE hearts! LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! Always….. <3
