Did you watch Michael Jackson's funeral LIVE?

It's officially over, and it was very touching and had a lot of moving speeches and performances.

You can watch playbacks of some parts on www.msn.com

Thoughts?

Yes, I'm watching it.

No way. Can't believe it's on TV.:x

Nope, not watching it live nor will I watch any of the 1000 re-runs there will be this week. Didn't care that he died in the first place.

Yes I'm watching it just not sure which one is doing the best coverage so I'm keeping it on FOX ... CNN, ABC, NBC, VH1 are just a few of the channels covering it.

Just started airing on PIX11

Thanks for the link... im going to watch it before i go to work

and to those who clearly don't care... Stop posting.

Oh I totally forgot it's on. It's like 3am here...

I'm watching it only micheal jackson could get this much attention from people their are fans crying and everything :?

I had no idea it was on. Still I won't watch it, I would probably fall asleep halfway through all the speeches.

I'm watch it, I wonder if they'll show WBC.

No, that is so dumb. ferrari2001

No its not dumb its a tribute ... did you think the Concert for Diane 2 years ago was dumb too???

One of the hosts was just talking about what people thought about him at one time.

"...only 5 % of people had a positive opinion of him - lower than O. J. Simpson, lower than Saddam Hussein."

Who are these over 5% of Americans that had a positive opinion of Saddam Hussein?

I don't see a point to watching it, personally.

Is Michael Jackson's death really a "world wide" event? On CNN and other media here in the US they keep saying it's a "world wide" event. I don't see ANYTHING about him on the front of the BBC website nor any other main news outlet for other countries. I am not trying to bash Michael Jackson at all personally or anything, I am just wondering are people "really" watching world wide. CNN is pretty much making it sound bigger than the election coverage.. I know BBC was covering it but even with that I have no idea just how much the rest of the world really cared. Are any of you outside of the US & UK.. Like maybe Aussies, Japanese, Indian or Chinese? How has your country been covering about the Michael Jackson news?Reach01

Yes its worldwide ... theres said to be 1 BILLION people watching from around the world.

Hey Americans! They are discussing the biggest tax bill in our history while you guys watch the MJ funeral.... just saying....... they passed the bill in the house the day after he died.... no one notice....

o and screw that child molester

bsman00

please. Like American really care about tax bills, or economic data beyond jobs, inflation or expanding government.

The only thing Americans care about are social issues like gay marriage, prayer in schools and affirmative action.

I hope the MJ funeral does get high viewership ratings, that way the world can say the Americans are finally admittng to what they are

Yes, I am watching it :cry:

nah, I got better things to do with my time. Like finish my dam work >.>

Quite frankly, I have better things to do than watch the funeral of some guy I didn't even know (personally) :lol:DrSponge

Pretty much how I feel.

Oh, and in case you had any doubt, no, I'm not watching it.

I could be watching the important things going on in the world. Things effecting our economu, the situation with NK, anything else. But instead, all that the news is showing is this michael jackson crap. The even closed down an freeway because of it. Ridiculous.

WeedleLad

because those important issues really shouldnt be given much thought by most maericans. Americans are economic ideologues, so numbers and data wont change anything and Americans cant do anything with Nkorea beyond tough talk and sanctions, most of the power lies with the russians and china.

No. I'll catch it on the rerun.

sure am!! Lionel Richie is on there... *_*

oh, and to all the haters, he was aquitted of all those molestation charges, so quit trying to bring about double jeopardy... that one kid even admitted to lying about it b/c his father wanted money - you silly little ignorant haters ;)

Really? Then why are people so supportive of Obama, when he his nearly the same as GWB. For all this talk about how bad Bush was and Obama is going to bring change, the policies of the two are surprisingly similar. They key differences fall along social lines really and healthcare.

So looking at Obama's approval numbers, I'm going to say Americans dont care.
