OT: Memorial For MJ at Staples Center on July 7

[Don]

My office is probably about 4 miles from Forest Lawn. The 134 freeway is pretty light despite a few exits blocked off. Downtown is probably a different story, though I didn't see much traffic coming into L.A. from the north as I was leaving for work.

You work??

What do you think I'm doing now? One monitor is for the internet and the other is for my excel and graphs. I'm multitasking.

Having two screens is fantastic, isn't it?

The IT manager has three. That's the setup I'm trying to get so I can keep Outlook maximized on one screen.

A guy on CNN said twice that Lionel Richie will be leading a group of singers in a version of We Are The World at the end of today's memorial. Didn't say whether it was just the other performers that are there or if it was many of the original singers.

Hmmm it would be nice if it was some of the original singers!!

[portland]

They have said a 90 minute service....

I was just about to post that. He made it sound like all of the artists would be there. Man would I like to see SMFP even lip would be fine!!

If the Staples Center can ever get the audio synched.

Is that the hold up?

[portland]

OK - they just said that the Jacskon family has set up a paypal account to help pay for the service?!

Yeah, Smokey Robinson came out and started sharing messages but there was no audio. When it came back on it was on a delay from the video feed. It's the Staples Center because all the streams are affected, as are those in the Nokia.

[Rhiannon]

And there's the casket.

[perryswoman]

OK - they just said that the Jacskon family has set up a paypal account to help pay for the service?!

Okay no I really don't get that at all. His estate has plenty of money to pay for this. That kinda pissed me off because there are millions of others who need money right now that have lost alot and to give it to MJ after all the money his estate has is insane!

[Don]

I don't mind that. Jackson albums are holding nine of the Top 10 spots in digital downloads. People are going to spend money on Michael regardless. If they want to pay for this, more power to them. It's their money. If it saves the city from paying for it, that's fine with me.

applauding as the casket came down the aisle really bothered me.

Mariah was fantastic, did great justice to the song.

Lionel was the bomb!

[Rhiannon]

The brothers sporting the single sequined glove is too sweet.

Her hand gestures have always bothered me, and it seems like they're geting worse. I don't need a gesture for every note she is hitting. I feel like she's the conductor

[bluejeangirl76]

Some have it on the right hand and some have it on the left... was that depending on which side of the casket they were holding? I missed part of the casket placement.

[Don]

You people bitch about us over analyzing Arnel and you're doing the same thing here with Mariah.

[perryswoman]

Awesome video!! Just awesome!

Hey tru dat but I don't analyze Arnel because I love him!! Ha ha
