i loved how the jackson men were dressed alike & wore the one sequined glove~ the people who spoke who knew michael, like brooke shields, smokey robinson & magic johnson were the sweeter of the stories~ & tho rev al sharpton grates my nerves, i liked the comment he made to michael's children about their daddy not being strange...& then michael's daughter leading a standing ovation~
the saddest part for me was tho when paris spoke, albeit briefly, she is clearly taking this hard no matter who she is surrounded by now~ she broke my heart & made me cry~

Same here. When Paris spoke and broke down, I let loose and bawled my eyes out. That was so poignant. Some great comments and touching stories and sinus-stinging, dare I say tear-inducing moments of raw emotion from Usher, Brooke Shields, and others. It was a classy, dignified ceremony. Long live the king in our hearts.
