James Brown Augusta Memorial - Michael Jackson says goodbye

[WVFireFighter21]

yes the media would of had a field day with Michael's funeral and they need to show some damn respect for the King Of Pop Michael was a very careing and loveing man and for someone that has done so much not only for music but for the world and helping everyone he could and I dont wanna read a reply with someone making fun of him show some respect for the king of pop you have respect for the king of rock and roll and for the god father Mr.James Brown

[datsweetsoulmuzik]

pwr 2 da ppl cuz da ppl need pwr!

[prettybrowneyes541]

This is a funeral? It seems like the wake. I've never seen an open casket at the wake.

[Kaisy900]

RIP MICHAEL AND JAMES

[ValehJacksons]

@Kaisy900 James is dead not Michael, because they Show James Corpse but not Michael!!!!!!!!

[sandy8202]

I Can Imagine The Pain Michael Felt As Soon As He Saw Mr.Brown In The Casket ..

[Diamonds7771]

Funny how the Rev & Jesse Jackson were by Jackson's side all the time and supporting him, where are they now, why aren't they fighting for justice for MJ...

[yassinbrown3131991]

MICHAEL JACKSON ARE IN HEAVEN DANCING FOR THE LORD AND SELEN A IS SINGING TO THE LORD AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD DIED R.I.P

[Sami76Bizerte]

Absolute amazing words San47di.... totally agree with that

[eorozco2720]

Michael was such a special and passionate man who had so many aspects to him. I love you Michael & will till the end of time, more then all the stars in the sky. Thank you for everything

[12vezinha]

estou aqui a pensar e sentir, dois mitos da musica se foram, cada qual com seu valor, eu amo o Michael e o respeito e nunca o esquecerei...

eternamente...

[MichaelJacksonFan331]

aww michael is so loving and sweet

[8mycrab]

Rev. Al Sharpton on one side and Rev. Jesse Jackson on the other. They must have sensed that Michael needed the support. Bless them for staying close.

[eduardoveletti]

[nycchick93]

[milu295]

i still cant believe i was in the same state as james brown and MJ. XD i remember that day, cause we all coudlnt believe he was just down town , wish i could have seen him, R.I.P mr. James brown and micheal jackson:)

[205breed]

@metroidhunter009

I was on my way to Augusta from Columbus, Georgia to go see my aunt.

When I got there she was like, guest who is here right down the street? I was like who, she said your favorite Michael Jackson. I thought she was lying and then I remember me and my cousin walking and seeing all these people outside of James Brown civic center and screaming. I ran back to the house to see that Mike had just walked in! I can't believe I was that close to Mike, damn I wish I could have met him.

[Lucyzhere]

@205breed what a great memory you posses........

[44joints]

Now this is how u go out. Everybody having fun and remembering you in such a festive way!! R.I.P. Mr James Brown..............

[ogronciomalavido]

iey yes yea maicol jakson esta VIVO

[1220amsoulradio]

To all the readers and In response to San47di, James Brown was actually a very religous and spiritual person; and quoted from the Bible quite often. His music was based on his early Gospel music. What happens too all Believers is that the Road of Life is hard. Just because he wasn't perfect in our eyes doesn't mean the Holy Father sees him as perfect. That's the whole point. May JB Rest in Peace.

[inspiredbygoodness]

fuck you too

[PokemonHeatBattles]

Fuck you. You're a dirty asshole. Michael was #1,and he wasn't perverted. You don't know shit,asshole.

[rabideyemovement]

he got little boys drunk and blew em. thats pretty perverse.

at least the remorse got to him and he took himself out.

[PokemonHeatBattles]

Dipshit,he was proven innocent. You really don't know shit.

[rabideyemovement]

You have Pokemon in your name, so youre obviously a child. Ysee rich grown ups can buy their way out of trouble. Wacko Jacko paid $23 million to get off. then he fled the US to move to a place called Bahrain (a place where sexing up kids is allowed)

[PokemonHeatBattles]

It's called going into a withdrawl,buddy. MJ was proven innocent. He explained why he paid to get off. Really,you don't know anything..

[jmacjr101]

@rabideyemovement 1 don't call him Jacko 2 do your research

3 suck it oh wait you don't have a dick

[peanuts559]

♥go michael♥

[UneFleureRouge]

omg 2 amazing musicians are dead. i am so sad. as i heard that james brown is dead i was sad, of course, biut it was okay, because he was an old an happy man. everyone has to die.

but as i heard that michael jackson is dead, i was shocked and i started to cry because he was JUST 50. it's way too soon to die. it was so unpredictable that michael died. and i was so shocked. RIP Michael and James. We love you.♥

[pumpkinpooter]

a perfect combination in heaven... entertaining the angels!! lol

[MyLoveMichaelJJ]

was james brown's casket open? and i luv mj ! miss them!! a good thing they didnt open mj's casket people would run to get it but if they did open it i would cry worse then i did when they brang out the casket! and wow james brown had a memorial too! guess he was amazing too but i hardly hear his music

[San47di]

Yes, James Brown's casket was opened, probably because his crew knew he would want that. Michael's was not, I'm sure based on consideration for the children foremost & family. Too painful! The funeral had already taken place at the cemetary that morning. I'm glad they did not show Michael because the media is so ignorant, disrespectful, bias, and intrusive. They probably would have tried to make a circus of the Memorial. I've lost ALL respect for the media Period!!

[MyLoveMichaelJJ]

yea ur right

[gameupro]

@San47di What you say is true but i also believe that he wasn't really there, so nobody would follow where he later would be kept.

[alexander7614]

@San47di im agree with you,,,,,

they will live 4ver in our hearts,,,,

[catgirl24]

Wow. Everytime MJ stepped outside, there would always be crowds no matter where he would go...even a funeral. RIP MJ and JB.

[sholayisme2]

wow i always thought they made the place empty for MJ but now i see he went in whilst viewers were still inside - wow and they kept so calm as well...

[llempika6]

Oh mon Dieu Michael.

Qui aurai cru?

Pourquoi !!!

Je suis tellement triste.

Repose en paix mon king.

Lolita de Nantes (France)

[MUZIKfactory2]

Oh Michael, Oh Michael

The pain is so heart wrenching,

words can't describe

Oh Michael, I miss you sooo bad

I miss you so much :'(

[empressoffrance]

James Brown's funeral was done in such bad taste. I loved the man personally, a great talent.

[San47di]

Actually James Browns memorial was done based on the way he lived and probably how James wanted it. That was his crew on the podium and they knew him better then anybody. James Brown was not really a religious person. This was more of a tribute and their way of celebrating him.

[Atreyufolife]

MISSING EM BOTH :(

[theoneandthree]

Two beautiful souls in heaven.

[LexxLemon]

why would you film that?

[SonyShots]

So People Like Yourself can See it I guess??

[theoneandthree]

I enjoyed it.... @ LexxLemon

[GreenDayFanDotCom]

[anita606]

[lordshort1]

a5a7 stfu about allah man not everybody belives in allah most are cristians

pray to Allah who created every thing and created you

[imzo2008]

stop talking as if we don know islam, you r killarz you cant live in peace every day you kill each other...i hate islam. thats y u force michael to slim but u failed

[BishopAntonio]

Michael Jackson was a Promethean Batesville 14 kt gold plated it was no black no where on that casket. what mad it look black because of the lighting was very dim and low and the gold casket look like it had black but it in the light it all gold speaking from knowledge as a license funeral director in houston,tx just as the same as James Brown they both hve the exact same casket no difference only difeerence that James Brown have white velvet inteior and Michae Jackson had blue velvet interior

[ANTBstudios]

thats not Michael Jacksons funeral dumbass. thats some other guys funeral.Jacksons funeral had a black coffin and was enclosed by flowers that were different than that

[bigpiece03]

jAZZ FUNERAL IS WHEN SOMEONE PASSES AND THEY HAVE THE REGULAR STUFF AND WHEN LEAVE THEY HAVE A CELEBRATION FOR THE LIFE OF THAT PERSON BECAUSE IT SELFISH TO CRY WHEN SOMEONE IS GOING HOME.... NOT LEAVING EARTH IT HURT BUT THAT WHY YOU REMEMBER THEY THE WAY YOU CHOOSE.

[cheekygreek]

why are some people dancing? people are spossed to be sad not happy and dancing??!!!

[lordcimek]

Sad will not wake the dead.. Don't just pretend to me sad when you are not...it's music, you can dance if you wish

[nishaboston]

Why can't it be a celebration of life!

[dann0nii]

They were never friends of michael ... Nobody helped michael when they accused it of rapist....and now R crying at michael¿?????

WTF???

the famous people is the worst shit in this Fucking world....

[axesmill]

remembering d dead should be done with gratefulness of the dead which brought goodness into the world, but should have done so after the burial service..

this memorial ceremony should have been more calm and sad mood into it rather than the up beat songs..

sounds more like a party of the dead!

rest in peace Mikey.

[abloom38]

Now that this guy is in hell, does he have to register as a sex offender?

[GEORGIEANO]

No ur mama is in hell being Fcuk by hitler

[abloom38]

A product of the liberal education system? It's spelled fucked by Hitler.

I'm guessing that you don't know who Hitler was.

[tarah86]

why are you searching for michael jackson just to write spiteful things about him? It's amazing to me you waste your time searching for videos of someone you don't like.

[saamiiaa]

screw you asshole rot in hell u r a dumb ass lowlife scum son of a bitch

[naeboo92]

dang its messed up.!

this was just a couple years ago that michael was saying goodbye to his idol.

he felt like we do now.

rip...godfather of soul &nd the king of pop.!!

[slg2484]

aw man :( was my baby Michael crying?!?

[ccccarolanne]

that was soooo sad

[IrilynAkaLilShorty]

R.i.P

[natsannho]

I thought they would do it like this for MJ. At least they can now sing and dance together again...

[nasadreamer12]

why deos it sound so up beet like they are happy about him dieing maybe it is just meee?????

[qpalzmxnskwieudjcnvb]

its not them being happy for him dying but its a celebration of his life. thats why its so up beat

[chezzieharper]

does anyone realise this is james browns casket and not micheal jacksons. Pay tribute to a master of funk here not micheal jackson

[Aspenfash899]

omg rip mj this is really surreal for me now seeing the casket in stuff hm

[AnimalHolocaust]

4 MJ vids

[mariekay89]

MJ, it feels like i have known you from the day i was born n i just knew you since that day you came on TV it has been the most tragic unexpected death i have ever heard of, i am here at work n all i can feel is tears fallin from eyes(sob) as for PARIS she made me even cried more,MJ you will always lived on through your music,family, friends and the heart that you lend to us to make our place a better world

[Dsshow0]

Wow. Now they are both gone.

[DrkThunda]

Now both of them will R I P together....Gone But Not Forgotten!!!

[IrisMG]

People ask why is Rev. Sharpton around the Jacksons so much now, this is why. They shared a close bond with James Brown, and Michael was fond of the Reverend as well. Naturally he would lend a hand with Michael's presence. I thank God for Al Sharpton.

[womankind121]

Iris-Oh, please. Al Sharkton and Jesse Hacman capitalize on MJ's personna and that makes me mad. They jumped like two bullfrogs when Jackson appeared and never left his side. They LEFT the daughter at the casket to hoan in on MJ.  Al and Jesse were polital men who were to fight for the rights of the black man. Now, they have just become part of the entertainment entourage and that upsets me. They were to be there for the family and MJ's bodyguards could not even do their job because of them

[IrisMG]

Of course I don't share your disdain, and I'm not going to argue with you. Snarkiness is not my style. In their line of work, though, it happens that they know just about every black entertainer in the business through their associations with James Brown and others. The relationship between the Reverend and "the daughter," whose name is Deanna, is none of our business, but there is no doubt in my mind the esteem for the Jackson family that is held by both families.

[womankind121]

Iris- i was not speaking about any relationship between Jesse and the daughter. I was merely stating they were there for the family, but as soon as MJ arrived, they catered to him exclusively as seen by leaving the grieving daughter at the casket to follow MJ. C'mon-you got to know networking and politicking when you see it. If they know about other black entertainers, why aren't they swarming around Bill Cosby, Usher, Denzel Washington and the like? They truly get in where they fit in!

[gabomeli]

james brown & Michael Jackson siempre estaran en nuestros corazones,especielmente en el mio y siempre seran mi inspiracion para seguir bailando

[gabomeli]

me podrian decir el nombre de la cancion pues esta bien chevreeee por favor..

[lilbody233]

[caitlinjane92]

Gosh, it's amazing how James Brown was an inspiration to Michael. This must have been a bit of a sad day for MJ. RIP James Brown.

[ImysAcer]

James Brown has contributed alot to the music industry and remains a true pioneer. He will always be known as a great legend and remembered forever.

May God bless his soul for eternity.

[jagyall]

lol the whole house curropted when mike came in

[54spiritedwill54]

this video will change my life for ever

[moneybelt22]

looks like a party on carnival cruise lines..

[genejmayer]

There's a party in heaven, y'all! James Brown performs for the Almighty nightly, and we're all invited.

[Zaryo33]

not if were saved through the blood of chris...thats the only way we can all go to heaven includin james brown if he accepted christ.amen.

[mathguy21]

umm...is it just me for not hearing a weird song like this on a memorial or are they crazy?

[genejmayer]

Some people choose to celebrate the life of a person instead of mourn his or her death. They celebrate the persons accomplishments and the positive impact they had on their family, community, their people, and the world. James Brown dedicated his life to uplifting his people, urging them to do better and be better not only to themselves but each other. I don't think he'd want to see a bunch of sullen faces at his funeral, he'd want a party. Well, he got one.

[sirduketee]

well its the godfather there doing his music he was a very upbeat man no morbid music not the godfather stlye

[MellieMel062689]

that funeral is crunk...i want my funeral to be juss like that when i die...i dont want nobody crying...i want it to be a big celebration of my life...but yeah R.I.P to James Brown...One of my fave old school singers...If he wasn't 4 him there wouldnt be no MICHAEL JACKSON...

[Jermainesmit21]

Well there would be a michael jackson he still has a great voice also his family was already jacksons when Mj was not in. And one day someone heard his voice and that is the time michael jackson also comes in the jackson 5.. so he would be here but different maybe

[cappiz]

I think Michael Jackson's not so nice father had a great impact on Michael Jackson, though I'm not sure if it was for better or worse. But according to Michael Jackson it was really tough, I mean _really_ tough.

[BEDSTUY35]

thats is sad he died on christmas day but i look at things like this jesus called from him 2 come take a walk wit him,now he is at heaven's gate 'SINGING I FEEL GOOD' RIP

[FilipinoGurl1350]

LOL Amen brother..or sister =]

[Melijenjo]

fuck you

[Diamondgrl2007]

fuck you!

[98ft]

Prince should have been there.

[laimingming]

Michael Jackson is honorable, humble, and respectful. He never forgets where he came from. He gives honor when honor is due. He is amazing.

[michaeljacbabe15]

godfather of soul and king of pop

[yomama99699]
