Michael Jackson: The Farewell

[Johnie]

Exactly. No matter what you thought about MJ there are now 3 children who do not have a father. They've never had a mother. Those poor babies.

I'm watching it now (we recorded it on our freeview box) I hope this brings some closure as I'm still in real real shock.

[premier travel]

Watched this last night. We recorded it with Sky+ but as it was running late it didn't get the whole thing, missed little Paris' speech. I definitely shed a tear, it would have been hard not too.

I know this won't be popular but I was really uncomfortable with his kids being up on stage.

I just feel that MJ did everything in his power to protect them from the media and stop them from having the upbringing that he had. For his family to allow them up on stage with the whole world looking on just felt disloyal to his wishes for me. Those poor kids will be fair game now as far as the paparazzi are concerned. Also when Janet bent down and said “speak up a bit honey” it left me a wee bit cold.

As I said probably not popular, just my opinion.

It's ok Bambi Belle. I've avoided watching as much as I can...

I felt much the same as you. He went to great lengths to protect their privacy...

I was just saying something similar earlier today. It's so strange to see them now and so much of them.....

[mumof2]

not at all *Bambi-Belle*, you're right - it was quite surprising to see them up there after all those years of him protecting their privacy.
