I've never seen his kids before, and now you see them on stage and they're all really cute kids. I really hope Michael's family steps up and gives these kids what they didn't give their own son.

As much as I dislike Michael Jackson, I can't help but feel sorry for his children. No matter what we think of Micheal Jackson, they lost their father and that is really difficult for them.

That last part was hard to watch. That was the most touching part of the whole service.

Demonize him all you want, but these are kids who have lost their father and a family who has lost a big part of it. They are clearly heart broken. I feel for them, especially his kids.

You're right. The ceremony was an hour 59 minutes and 25 seconds of hilarious cheese and 35 seconds where I felt bad for the daughter.

And now Larry King will say something....

Thats a better was to say what you mean then the comment you made earlier, but it wasn't an obsession, it all started when he burn his face during a pepsi commercial and his skin colour problems was due to a disease called vitiligo which he was diagnosed in 1986.

Anyone notice Michael had to die for any of the kids to be allowed to speak?

Actually, many years prior to that he had started surgery on his nose because he felt it was too wide. There were at least two surgeries that preceeded the Pepsi accident. If you can find his press conference following his accident, you'll see his burns were mainly scalp, hairline and hand. His nose was not affected. Someone in his family should've intervened when he started going too far with his plastic surgeries, along with other issues he had. I wouldn't stand silently by and enable anyone I care about the way they did. His parents used their kids to make money. Even Michael Jackson himself has spoken of his dysfunctional childhood. Now those same parents are entrusted to raise his children. I sincerely hope they learned from their mistakes.

Of course he did have plastic surgery, but really what Hollywood star hasn't I'm just saying that it wasn't all just because he wanted to do, he had heath problems as well...but I totally agree with you about his family, they should have been there for MJ.

I thought it started with the years and years of emotional abuse reaped on him by his father constantly belittling him and telling him how ugly he was that started it. In those same stories of his dysfunctional childhood he talked about how his father would tell him how huge his nose was and what an ugly child he was. He started washing his face in the dark because his "father" had him believing he was hideous. The man was and still is a monster. THAT's who the venom in these threads should be aimed at.
The MJ we saw was a product of a life time of brutal abuse and zero support for anyone surrounding him.
