I’m just can’t bring myself to deny them their basic humanity… and if it was a contrived audition they would’ve had all the kids saying, doing, or singing something.

Tammy, you were relentless about the acting job of the Paris Jackson kid at her “daddy’s” funeral.
I wish I could laugh at death that way. I wish I could show anger the way you did on your show.

Oh! WAIT! I do.
I yelled at the TV last night during O’Reilly show until I had to turn it off before I smashed it and stomped on it and kicked it and burned it and lmao.

Hi, Tammy.

I’ve got a question for you – why all the ‘S’-es?

Sydney, Snoopy, the dearly departed Sadie, the rejected Schmmitty and Spot, the proposed Snarky and Smokey, and of course the great equalizer Snuffy to name the ones that come to mind.

Is Rocky the raccoon just an aberration?

P.S. The comments section needs a ‘preview’ mode so we can catch our goofs.

Honestly, I’ve wrestled with this, too, ever since I watched it live and also the re-runs and, I have to agree with Tammy. This was just one of those times where your gut kicks in and says, “What’s wrong with this picture?” I grew up with one of MJ’s brothers (who also had his share of issues despite the fact he was very warm and charming) and this really did look and feel contrived and creepy to me. Unfortunately, Brooke Shields was another twisted moment. Things just are what they are.

I must say my dear, the whole display struck me as a kid who was auditioning. Sorry to say, but it was an awful, contrived thing, and the adults who put that kid in that situation should be ashamed of themselves.

“Paris, Fake Tears?”

What a crock! I watched it live and I trust my read of it. It was not planned and I don’t think she was pushed up to the mic or told what to say. She reminded me very much of my niece who is almost 11. My thought watching it was that she had sit there for two hours while everyone else talked about her Daddy, so she wanted to be a big girl and participate too… because she loved him. She had an air of complete innocence about her… there are more worldly girls in my neighborhood. Michael Jackson did something right to have a little girl like that.

And maybe it’s not like this in a lot of places, but in the South funerals are very much like that one, (on smaller scale of course) … friends and family sing or speak, and the kids can speak if they want to. When my uncle died a few years ago his son who was about 14 sang his favorite gospel song, and his little girl who was about 12 played a song he had taught her on the dulcimer. They did it because they loved him and wanted to express it.

Also, I was heartened that the name of the Lord was lifted up at least a few times. For Christ to be mentioned with millions watching was worth it. I wish people would not ridicule MJ or family now… he is gone, his kids are broken hearted… just move along.

Definitely not the first time the Jackson’s have used children to increase their likability with the public… See sec. 00:48 onward of youtube nonsense.

Seems the Freak of Pop(s) had been grooming these kids to deliver lines like that since birth.

Poor kids.
