@MidnightDroid This wasn't a funeral! The funeral happened AFTER this...that's like asking what kind of assholes have a good time at a wake..this was a celebration of Michael Jackson's life!! Close your mouth and enjoy you goof
michael jackson r.i.p the best singer ever..!! another illuminati victim...I know that those people wanted to shut him down ever since various decades ago.. as the did with bob marley, john f. kennedy, john lennon etc....
I think this was actually my favorite performance from the memorial. There's something especially touching about the instrumental version of the song.
@IvikHostrup Yeah, I know, but it just doesn't seem right to me to clap and whistle for music at a place where you are supposed to revere someone's memory. For example, when my country held memorial for Pavol Demitra, there was music playing too, but no one clapped... sorry for my english
@Bartmanko Uhmmm Michael Jackson was an entertainer on a much larger scale than Pavol Demitra...it would be inappropriate to applaud at a normal funeral. You can't compare the two...
When I was watching this live, I wasn't feeling it with most performances until this one. BTW, those who don't know anything about vintage guitars, that original Fender strat he plays with would cost more than your home and car put together.
@acousino11 I was talking about my little sister's Barbie's house and car... thanks for correcting me, didn't know what the fuck i was talking about = )
Ladies and Gentlemen THIS is the power of emotion over the spoken word. MJ was a master in his craft that we will not see one like him again in our lifetime.
john mayer said in an interview that he didn't sing because he could never vocally do it justice like michael, but he could with a guitar. i give him so much respect for that.
I cried my eyes out, so beautiful. Katherine Jackson asked Mayer to play Human Nature at the memorial service. This performance I'm sure made Michael and Katherine so proud. Miss you Michael!!!
For the record, John DOES sing. he just chose not to for this tribute, which was perfect. His and Stevie Wonder's performances were the best for Michael, imo. I didn't care for the yelling and cheering for Mike, though. I know it was held in Staples, but this wasn't a ball game.
I wonder if he had planned to sing and changed his mind on the spot?? If, you notice there is a mic there... If he planned to or not, it was awesome and very interesting!
2 years ago i was watching this praying that this may be a nightmare. You are like the wind of my day or the dusk of my sky. There is not a moment of my day you are not with me.
I hope you feel the imensity of this love...you have changed me and my life forever.
"sometimes in life there are no WORDS to EXPRESS what is already UNDERSTOOD!!!"
You can listen the guitar crying...
RIP - that's all for L.O.V.E. and love lives forever
@MrPaulahrens How on Earth could you dislike this performance.. Mayer does supreme justice to a true visionary's musical masterpiece.... very touching
That quote by mj in the beginning relates to this performance very well. The guitar is john mayers true voice....he didnt need to sing, he made that guitar sing, and thats his voice...
I thought that John Mayer did an awesome job of MJ'S "HUMAN NATURE". His guitar almost sounded like MJ himself singing. God bless you John Mayer!!! This was an awesome performance.
The earth can't help but to cry knowing that u will be here no more, u r the Greatest humanitarian this world have seen ,such abeautiful soul inside out as always, u took my heart at the very first sight god bless u , forever in my heart u'll be, Such a big lost,the world feels cold and meaningless without u, we miss u dearly tears iz all I have to give R.I.P thank u john Mayer
It takes a whole lot too recognize greatness. and thats wat John did. he didnt sing the song out of respect for MJ. I wuldve done the same. Everytime i watch this im reminded of how great MJ was and still is! God put alot of LOVE and TALENT into MJ and now he's gone. Sooooo many ppl done him wrong all bcuz of jealousy or not understanding Michael. No1 will ever understand how he was able to do dance or make beautiful lyrics or how he brought the world 2gether, even just for a minute. R.I.P MJ!
@fotossalomon Yes but that's what I thought was so great about it. Why do a karaoke special to the greatest entertainer of all time when he could do what has made himself so successful and make his guitar sing. This was personally my favorite performance at the memorial.
@djprezence agree this why when he said he going to play this song he said "im not singing this song cuz i can't take my feeling away that his gone" and PS to ppl who sing his song it good to cry when u sing it but dont do both cuz it jus wrong
@fotossalomon he said he was planning on singing but when he got up there he decided not to. He didn't feel like he could do justice to michael jackson by trying to sing this song of his. So he let his guitar sing instead.
I was sent an link on this. John talks about why he did not sing, but does not say when he made that choice. Part of me thinks it was on the spot....Notice the background vocals are there, which I would not expect if it was a planned instrumental.
Also, interestingly enough, John says he was greatly honored to do this partly due to the fact he had never personally met Michael.
@fotossalomon Its just pure respect.. if u heard his interview he said he could never even attempt to sing michael jackson and even come near to his awesomeness.. this is why he tried to be as discrete and as humble as he could be... his guitar is his extended soul.. u see more of him in his guitar playing than u will ever see from any musician.. this is why he is so successful. people say he is a douche.. they just never truly heard his music.. and u can't lie in music.. its pure honest.
absolutely beautiful version of Human Nature, no one will ever compare to Michael Jackson!!! EVER!!! u were truly the best and always will be!!!
