Yes.
I very purposefully avoided the memorial. From here on in I'd like the memory of MJ to be that, a memory. The only "news" I'd like to hear about him would be something definitively debunking -- or proving -- the allegations regarding child molestation.
MIB41, here's another look at. "The Little Fella In Front" ...90, Joe 90.... Great Shakes : Milk Chocolate -- Shaken, not Stirred.Comment

Nothing personal taken. Just a moment of reflection given for others to interject. Personally I think there were some very REAL moments in that ceremony. Those who have great distain for Jackson clearly didn't watch the ceremony so I don't suspect they could give an objective review of the matter anyway. They hate him, so be it. Spill your pain and be done with the guy. I've posted my thoughts pretty well here as well. I clearly stated the guy had some serious issues even without the allegations. This ceremony doesn't change that. What it did for me is put some things in perspective - namely his kids. His daughter gave an inprompt comment that was not prepackaged, rehearsed, or full of pretentious self-serving context. This was simply a child calling it like she saw it. And she did something NO ONE has done for DECADES, which is humanize him. Children cut through the fluff and often see things as they are. If Jackson was truly all the monster he was made out to be, I don't believe for five seconds his daughter would have given the kind of response that she did. If she was younger maybe we could play the naivet'e card and say she simply didn't know better. Not here. I think it gave Jackson a much better impression for myself than I otherwise would have had. It doesn't wash away alot of my criticisms, but it does give me serious pause to reconsider some matters - Maybe some of those GOOD things we heard about him being a fine parent were, in fact, TRUE thus giving some practical suggestion that some of those BAD things were, in fact, not true. No, it doesn't thrust him up to this hero worship some people are giving him, but it does give someone like me hope that perhaps there was a better person there than what alot of us thought. That's my take on the matter. And thanks for the backup Noelani72. Always appreciated.

Believe me...if people found me cuddling in bed with children...and I'm not even talking about molesting anyone...just cuddling with them in bed...I'd be serving 20 years in prison right now.
And please...I don't want anymore private messages being sent to me about this subject...I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY ON THE MATTER on a personal level...this is my opinion...take it...or leave it.sigpicComment

Coming out of lurkdom once again...
Although I could not watch the whole service from beginning to end (I was tending to my mom, of course), I did see most of it, as well as the recaps on CNN (It's been on at least one of the 4 TVs in my house all day). I didn't cry when I first found out about Michael, but I found myself crying today. The service as solemn as well as celebratory. I still can't believe he's gone
I was very moved and I still find it tough to believe he won't be around to sing those songs anymore. I loved Michael pretty much all of my life, and a world without him is one of the saddest realities I can imagine. And Paris' words just broke my heart. 
Whatever Michael was or wasn't to any of you, he was a father to his kids, a brother, a son, and uncle, a friend, a mentor, an inspiration, and I will miss him every day of my life.
I you, Michael. Rest In Peace.
