agree with Nikki

@Michelle: We CAN disagree with Trent, you know. I don’t understand this notion that because it’s his website everything he does is right. This comment section is not for us to mindlessly follow his lead. You honestly think every comment on here should be commending him?

For me, I come to this blog because I think he’s covered many, many celeb stories in a considerate and dignified way. And when the stories are more frivilous, I enjoy his fun comments. But I’m not altogether thrilled with how he’s handled the memorial service. I fell like, if you have a media pass – fine you’re media; write all you want. But if you entered the draw, you should be there as a fan, not a blogger, and you can share your experience after. And if you BOUGHT your ticket, just shame on you and whoever sold to you. What’s wrong with saying this?

To all the people talking about how fallen soldiers are much more important than the death of Michael Jackson….Doesn’t Michael deserve at least one day to be remembered and said goodbye to? Just like every last one of our fallen soldiers deserves their own time to be remembered, as well, and said goodbye to, as well? No one is better or worse than the other one. No one deserves more or less….although, hmmm, I can sort of see your point. It’s not like our fallen soldiers are treated to huge staples-center capacity memorials.

On another note, however, the fact that Michael’s memorial service has been turned into such a huge circus, like a hard-to-get-into concert, is kind of disgusting. Some of the things I’ve read about him on other sites today are so odd to me. People flipping out like they’d won the lottery because they got tickets to his memorial service? People rejoicing that they they’re first to comment on a Michael Jackson blogpost while adding,’R.I.P. Michael Jackson’ as an afterthought? Even the fact that people are twittering through his memorial service….is kinda disrespectful to me. I understand and admire that people can and are using it to share the necessary moment to mourn with others, as you are, but at the same time, so many other people are using it to be disrespectful and sh*tty about the whole situation. It’s a Catch-22, I guess.

In any case, it’s the world we live in today. And MJ being as hugely popular (in both good and bad ways) as he was, there’s just no way around it. I’ve heard a lot of negativity and hate spewed about Michael Jackson since his death. People focusing on what he’s been accused of and all his craziness in recent years. I understand that, I do. I hadn’t paid much attention to him other than to gawk at his eccentricities in the past decade or so. I even remember you talking on the site about how weird you thought he was even though your boyfriend was still a diehard fan. But we both fell back to respect and honor the artist we used to love as children, as I think many of his mourners are doing. No, most of us were not dearly devoted to him and/or thought of him on a regular basis recently. But, he had a long life and was many things throughout it. I don’t think we should forget the beautiful things he accomplished and how much a part of our childhood he was…..to people in our generation anyway…..blah….I’ve said my piece. And I don’t mean to offend anyone, just needed to air it out.

RIP micheal

@Memel. I agree with your stance. However, either the Jackson family should have paid for it OR it should have been a private funeral. Not this horrible spectacle where people are exclaiming “I got the golden ticket” & using their connections to get into a funeral. Whether we love or hate him, he touched many with his music, but at this cost is insane. Either charge money to people attending the funeral so that the state doesn’t have to pay for it OR hold a private one. BTW, Trent still hasn’t addressed the fact that the only reason he was going to even bother with MJ was because his boyfriend is a huge fan.

@Smoo. Yes, David is more of a fan than Trent, but why can’t he just go to pay his respects? This is not a contest to see who the biggest fan is!
As for the cost of this, it’s no difference from the amount of money wasted on fireworks. I hate the way communities spend ridiculous amounts of money on these things. Pretty yes, but within seconds they’re gone. A total waste of money. At least people will remember this service for all of their lives.
