  • This is so beautiful!

  • Two years later and I still cry like a baby thinking about him. Who he was, his beautiful spirit and the fact that he died without ever having experienced the true happiness he deserved. I hope to god that wherever he is he is happy and at peace finally. We love you Michael and you will never EVER be forgotten.

  • I still cry when I hear any of his music. I will never get over the loss of Michael.

  • Comment removed

  • Never knew he had such a voice. What a beautiful song, sad, sad.  We have to be better to people while they are still alive. Sometimes it's too little too late.

  • I wish he'd sung Dynamite instead :( What a song.

  • I tell you, Jermaine sang that song from his heart. I still get the chills from this performance.

  • Although his memorial service was clearly a Christian oriented service, but Michael Jackson was not inside the casket.

    It’s clear to everybody that Michael Jackson is no more a Jehovah's Witness.

    So let's say:

    May Allah be with you (Michael) always.

    You are a gift from Allah. And He has taken you back.

  • Americans feared that if he was allowed to be alive, he would ask for trouble speaking to Americans in his last concert. Surely Michael was buried as a Muslim by Americans but what they are saying is just to show that he wasn't Muslim. As the police said, "The Jackson family is also said to be planning a small funeral ceremony at a cemetery in the Hollywood Hills, calling it a "private family function".

  • Believe or not guys, Michael Jackson converted secretly to Islam, that's why he was murdered for his conversion. We don't believe in the fake picture of Michael Jackson (behind Jermaine) that makes a Christian cross. It is just because we truly believe that Michael is a Muslim convert and he had no chance to announce his conversion, he was not allowed to show any sensitivity with Islam.

  • I teared Up a little bit.

  • Wrong lyrics much....?

    I love you mor Michael !

  • DEMASIADO CONMOVEDOR, NO PUEDO EVITAR LLORAR....

  • so sad some people dont know him from the start but he is the king of pop still.

    he was a good man and cared about many people old or young no matter he gave away 300.000.000 to good caurses bless him no one ever did!!!!!!!

    R.I.P michael.

  • ever since his gone i wake up each day crying alot and i cant stop crying!:'( and i think that i can never stop because my life is dead and my body fill with pain and sorrow

  • Many people in the world felt sad when MJ died. Heartbroken. Me, I felt guilty. Before he died, I never hated him. I just never appreciated him. Granted, in my defense I was born in 1998. So I was stilll incredbly young before he died. Still, I never appreciated him and I never knew how famous he really was. I didn't even know about his music! I only knew of Beat It, Thriller, and BAD. And I get so angry at my friend, ironically is named Michael himself, doesn't believe how awesome MJ really was

  • That is such an incredibly strong thing to do for your brother. I would never be able to sing if my one of my brothers died. That's incredible. Good on him. Brought me to tears!

  • Why is the video from beLIEve57530 Jermain Jackson-Smile with the right lyrics as it supposed to be??????? While all the other vids of the memorial you can hear he has changed the words. How can that be??? The same night, the same performance????

    Put them next to eachother in your window and play them together.

  • @knottenbeld43 Maybe they redid it(since he missed the cue) for tv that same day?? Anyway, good observation... ;O)

  • Very strong to sing for his brother..

  • smile had a meaning unlike songs these days,thumbs up!

  • Not many people on this world could have done this so beautifully and gracefully. I

  • 'Light up you're face with sadness' no one can blame him for getting that line wrong, such a great performance by an amazing artist. This brings me to tears whenever I watch it back!

  • if you really listen to him Jermaine sounds like Michael in some ways

  • I would have never been able to do this. Great tribute.

  • I can't listen to MJ songs properly it hurts a bit inside  :( He never got to expose the media :(

  • the strength of this man amazes me WELL DONE Jermaine 

  • Oh My God , my first time watching this video, after the funeral. It was so sad. This song is so strong and so true. RIP MJ Still missing you :(

  • The world loved Michael Jackson and he truly adored and loved his fans. How lucky we all have been to have enjoyed his music and talent for so many years. So everytime i remember him i will " smile."

  • I cried like a baby when I watched this for the first time.

  • @666deadman1988 same here man, only part of the funeral that made me shed a few tears ... its hard to believe micheal is gone

  • He's amazing, I just couldn't do that. if my brother died, I'd choke on my words before I tried to sing!

  • wow what a great voice he has

  • I am Pretty sure Ben was in that Funeral! hes just there somewhere...

  • i love it

  • Jermaine changes the words!

    From:

    Light up your face with gladness

    Hide every trace of sadness

    Although a tear may be ever so near

    That's the time you must keep on trying

    Smile, what's the use of crying.

    Yet he sings : Light up your face with sadness

    Hide every trace of gladness.

    Michael is Alive and will be back. Keep the faith!

  • sad everybody thought he was a rapist and gay til he died ive been here the whole time my mom played hiss songs when i was little and i never believed that he slept with that kid he just said that so they could get money

  • Strong man. :'(

  • thats HARD singing in front of your brothers coffin

  • why are some of you immortalizing him like he was divine? He was just a man with a lot of mental issues who was also a great entertainer not some kind of god.

  • @Goatoftheforest you have a lot of mental issues for making this comment

  • @Atreyufolife I'm not the one who abused drugs, had so many plastic surgeries that my nose started to fall off, and who was accused of molesting children twice

  • @Goatoftheforest Look at what he did with his life and then take a look at what you did with yours.

  • This Man Has a Lot OF guts! I deffinately couldnt stand infront of that many people after my brother, the most loved pop star ever, passed away, and sing!

    MEGA kutos to Jermaine!

  • ive never seen the memorial its jst too soon still even this little bit makes me manly cuz smile always makes me cry but its jst poor michael and his poor family for losing this loved 1 im praying for u jackson family <3 R.I.P mj

  • I can't watch this without crying. The world lost an angel. An angel whom I've loved for 15 years now.

  • i love Michael !! however Jamaine sung the wrong lyrics....he got sadness and gladness mixed up :/ however he sung it beautifully and i love you michael i miss you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • michael I miss you so so much.When my son died your music is the only thing that brought me back from the land of the dead so I really really miss you so very much.your childhood was so very much like mine and I understand how you felt not having a parent who understood you or ever wanted to.I love you Michael and i will see you one day soon. RIP

  • LOVE MJ

  • unglaublich schön gesungen

    echt

  • The memorial was very sad :(

    I remember watching it on tv.

    I started crying like crazy when Paris spoke, and the hole memorial was just so saad :(

  • i watched that. I must admit I did cry cos I saw the the heartacre in jemaines eyes then I filled up, MJ you still are very missed!!

  • This made me cry, I'm in love with Michael. ♥

  • True: what a poor version. Mydesigirl84, I think he thought it would boost his career. Greedy guys.

  • @marellison

    well, he's kind of sad, 'cause his brother just died. so i think we can all go easy on him.

  • poor guy, singing whilst his brothers coffin is right in front of him.

    i wouldnt have been able to do that!

  • He maybe gone. But his music will live on forever. He is a true inspiration.

  • that sucks he messed up

  • @dmurillo1313

    really? when? not denying it, 'cause i don't really know this song that well. but when did he make the mistake?

  • Oh man Michael ist Tod :-(((((

  • Jermaine made this song his own. Jermaine sang this song better than anyone else, even better than Michael, sorry Michael. What a voice, so filled with so much emotions, WOW!

  • Jermaine really can sing... he sang it so well... i was crying at this time but this is my first time i watching it back and i realize that how ... there is no words..!

  • I love MJ.. its a good preformance, but NO ONE does it like michael!!

  • The world never knew the importance of MJ until his death.So did his siblings.It wasn't the drugs which killed him.It was us.RIP MJ.Your music and legacy will be remembered for the generations to come.

  • @aniketvideo That is very true, I forgot about him before his death and i feel really bad about that but the thing i would never do is talk trash about him he had his mistakes like we did so honor him for being the Michael that we all know and love. But I would like to tell you that his death really hit me hard. Still to this day I cry just thinking about him not being here anymore. I'm not trying to say that i loved him more than anyone but I do love him. I really agree what u said.

  • @aniketvideo u mean for ever ??

  • @aniketvideo YOU'VE MADE THE BEST COMMENT OUT OF THE DAMN NEAR TWO YEARS IV BEEN ON THIS. THANK YOU MAN. MAKE A LOT OF SENSE

  • @aniketvideo no, it was the government

  • @aniketvideo Just two years after the King of Pop left this planet, four new Earths appeared on the horizon. So there.

  • The best ''smile'' performance ever.

  • @AfcAjaxJason

    Wow you must be friggin' tone deaf if you think that so called song was the best preformance of smile. That was the very worst! MJ was glad he was dead cuz that woulda killed him if he wasn't! Jermaine is a fag who couldn't sing for his life (and for a matter of fact MJ's either) enough said.

  • @nycasisters

    someone needs to learn some respect. he can sing. and anyway, he's singing for his brother, so don't be harsh.

  • Im crying!

  • I wish people would start realizing who u really was...and may your murderers(im sure bout that) go 2 hell! U will live on aslong as your memory lives on..

  • I miss u so...how am i supposed 2 smile...seein how they will still not rest in peace n jus leave ya alone...I can´t believe how so called humans can be so respect n heartless...i am 31 years oold and ever since i can think u was my king! i used 2 beat the kids that was laughing about u sayin u´s this and that, i just couldnt stand it!U are a true hero of the world..!

  • Y'know, im not emo or anything but when i heard MJ died i felt like something was missing in me D: I really wish he would still be alive D:

  • the lyrics are jumbled, but presentation good

  • I really think this toke a lot out of him to sing like he did, where we could somewhat understand what he was saying. He wasn't at his best but he did the best he could bring including the fact that his brother had just died. I cry seeing him, its gotta be hard.

  • simplemente ¡¡¡¡HERMOSA!!!!

  • This rendition is one of the best renditions eva!

    Pitching was all over, out of tempo

    but when he sang from his heart, somehow or rather, you can just feel it......

    A+

  • @razievhyper yeah and his brother had just died! its obviously going to be hard to sing in tune and time when your trying not to cry...

  • no one will ever make the impact on the entire world...make us so happy and sad at the same time as Michael has done......rip MJ

  • ( GREAT '' )

  • STILL GET VERY EMOTIONAL WHEN I HEAR THIS

  • WoW - so sad but also wonderful. Michael will live on in our Hearts,,, .-)

  • Jermaine is definately the best singer out of the jackson brothers, after Michael.

  • when i saw that on tv i couldn t refrain my tears..

  • I didn't notice this when I was watching it live on TV, but now I noticed that Jermaine actually messed up the lyrics of the song... He sang: "Light up your face with sadness, hide every trace of gladness. All through the years will be ever so near."

    Correct lyrics: "Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness. All though a tear may be ever so near"!

  • @L84Angel im pretty sure he did it on purpose, hehe

  • @L84Angel I think considering the situation fans shouldn't judge. He missed up the lyrics but if I was up there singing my brother's favorite song while his casket was in front of me I would have missed up a lot more than Jermaine. In fact I would have started crying my eyes out on stage. Jermaine is not a very strong singer but he gave it his all. I was surprise he was able to get through the song without breaking down. I'm not saying you're judging him, just adding my 2cents that is all :-)

  • :( i miss you michel....

  • Michael Jackson was a great man doing drugs does that really matter? He was still a great person even though he went through all that he did. He will always be in our heart because he was just a great person. He did smile after everything you never saw him be mad even though what people said. RIP Michael Jackson

  • Hard to watch this. Just brings back memories of the day Michael died, still can`t believe it.

  • I have cried for the last half hour. I miss you Michael. Love you more!!

  • Jermaine was wonderful singing this tribute to his little brother. I can't even imagine how he got through it. I'm sure Michael WAS smiling as Jermaine sang. Michael--I love you more..........

  • I Remember Watching this live..

  • he didn't smile :(

  • that is true brotherly love......you can see his pain

  • Beautiful. Thanks for posting

  • This is just too freakin sad. It's beautiful. Jermain was brilliant though. I want this song at my funeral..It's nearly a year since MJ passed and we are all still shattered.. I never knew him or saw him concert, but he did alot of great work and people said nasty shit about him. MJ you an angel. And now you are in a better place... xxxx

  • oh! is imposibble not cry, is so sad!

  • I'd like to dedicate this to Sophia and Laura Lopez, daughters of Catherine Bach and Peter Lopez. (Peter Lopez was a music attorney for Michael Jackson.)

  • wow if i were singing i would have cryed my ass off i am amazed how such a person can hold up his tears singing in front of his beloved brother... u can c in the ending how he wnted 2 cry but he didnt wnt 2! tht was emotional tht i cried so much R.I.P michael u will always b in my heart 4 ever!

  • I watched the memorial as it happend that day. When I heard that Michael had passed away at that minuet I was in a state of shock and griefe. I cried all night long and sometime now and then. May be now people will know what type of man and father he was. And what everyone thought he was which was not true. But I hope that now he has found peace were ever he is.

  • T_T

    cant stop the tears falling

    my angel , I love you so much, RiP god bless all jackson family

  • Brought tears to my eyes. You could see and feel the hurt as Jermaine sang this. People have said cruel things about Michael, one thing they forget is that Michael was human. His life may not have been "normal", still he hurt just like us. Michael is deeply missed.

  • i love this song..but Jermaine u messed up the lyrics.loll its "light up your face with GLADNESS hide every trace of SADNESS"lol

  • This song is great , I awalys cry when i hear this song

  • I cry to when I hear the song.

  • This song gives me chills everytime I hear it...

  • @URmyshine It's so sad, but yet great lyrics..... Great Song, I Love it! thanks...

  • Jermaine is with a bad name for greed.

    What dead blood brother is ?

    He only cares about MJ's estate.

    You see , what is he doing now ?????????

  • Sad...:( he did it wonderfully. MJ would have been proud

  • dear friends! my Michael Jackson tribute Song got nominated for the youtube Awards! Please vote for me! For more Information visit my channel! Thx so much!

  • As if you wouldn't cash in on a one-time chance to make millions.

  • so he SHOULDN"T have sung at the funeral??

  • i kinda see where you comin from but im sure he misses his brother....i dont think he's doin anything wrong, he's only tryna keep mjs legacy going

  • i know this is off topic but he had micheal's white glove on

  • yea so did jackie, tito, marlon and randy....it was their way of representing him i guess

  • Yeah this song toucht me really ... :(

    RIP Mj :(

  • This was touching...it was MJ's fav song and had huge meaning for HIM.

    Too bad the family didn't support Michael while he was alive.

  • @maritimemama

    ur an idiot. u dont know shit

  • This is so sad..

    RIP MJ<3

  • light up my face with sadness huh and hide all the trace of gladness. yea i hear u man.

  • R.I.P  :(

  • MJ was asked years ago what his favorite song was. He said that this was his favorite. Written by Charlie Chaplin of all people.

  • i caught it also vvvvvvvvvv

  • haha he did mess up he said light up ur face with sadness hide every trace of gladness

  • this is such a meaningful song..it really keeps me going through difficult time..i love u mj

  • I´m craying right now...

    That he can sing for his dead brother..

    I never do that...

    I respect that..

  • i have to admid that it the nicest version of that song i had ever heard and i am a massize mj fan i dont see how ppl can say ow michael jackson is alive or how could his brother and children be crying there hearts out at the funeral sad song but i think it some,s mj,s life up perfectly even thou he didnt write it 3.47 no one can do that fake

  • In regards to polkadotakiss, and grecovolante. Heartless pieces of scum. If u knew about proper family relationships, u would be able 2 understand wot Jermaine is going through. He lost his brother, HIS not bloody urs. I cant stand people like u who always have 2 put in ur posionous words into things that really dont concern u. Did ur mother ever tell u if u have notthing good 2 say, shut the F*** up

  • 1:24 is where jermaine get the words wrong

  • I can still remember the first time I heard this song... I cried then, too. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. Thanks, Jermaine.

  • @grecovolante you suck grecovolante, Jermaine is great

  • he didn't mess up. he did that on purpose!!! <3333

  • why do you say that?

  • @AndreaAzn do you think he really did it on purpose?

  • I cant help but get watery eyes when i hear Jermaine sing this for his brother...you can hear the sorrow and pain and love in his voice.

  • Me too got emotionally involved in seeing this live (even if not a fan of Jacko, I did not dislike the guy)

    As for Jermaine...well I am sure he's not acting or playing for celebrity. is heart is really coming out, all poople who think all Muslims are hearthless fanatics could reconsider their thoughts

  • SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT!

  • Its all their dads fault. Great song.

  • @dustysnoop

    ur a fuckin retard

  • @dustysnoop Damn Straight

  • He messed up on the lyrics. The original lyrics are "Light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness" but he said "Light up your face with sadness, hide every trace of gladness"

    Hmm, maybe because that's what they're doing? Lighting up there faces with sadness and hiding every trace of gladness?

    As Jermaine's wife's shirt said in the 3rd episode "MICHAEL LIVES"

  • do you think he noticed?

  • @StEpHsTrAwBeRrYgAl ( of course ) MJ  will be on jermains wright shoulder

  • Freudian slip maybe? lol

  • I'm sure it wasn't. That song has been around forever, he wouldn't have made a mistake especially at his brothers memorial.

  • You saw that to on her shirt, I like that shirt she had on I wish I could get one like that.

  • in the end, you could really see how he tried not to cry and ruin the special song for his brother. As someone along the comment section said, im no mj fan, hes good, no doubt about it! but im feeling for his family, and i believe mj was a good guy.

  • Smile, though your heart is aching

    Smile, even though it's breaking

    Best song ever. This is very touching. I always sometimes come back to watch this.

  • I cried at this song when i saw it on tha tv, it reallt touched me.. I love Jermaine's voice.. It's so soft =]

  • i thinkh there was a lot off respect from a brother to a brother in the song.

    i,am not a micheal jackson fan but just human.

    respect to the jackson famili from the netherlands

  • karen who gives a fuck. It wont bring Mike back. DAMN!

  • Jermaine and Stevie sang there asses of on the memorial. This is music should be, with emotion, passion, talent. Fuck the Gaga hype.

    RIP MJ

  • @jees030  AMEN! brotha

  • A lovely job Jermaine did for his brother. Michael will always live on in all of our hearts. At least Michael, you're in a better place away from those people accusing you of something that never took place. Sleep well dude.

    Aaron from Ireland.

  • he got the words backwards... but I guess no one noticed... he sang... light up your FACE with SADNESS... hide every trace of GLADNESS.. um.. it is correctly sung as .. LIGHT UP YOUR FACE WITH GLADNESS, HIDE EVERY TRACE OF SADNESS... Did anyone else notice this... True Michael Jackson fans.. found this error... I guarantee it

  • but I bet no one cared.

  • who cares, this performance was all about the emotion

  • ich habs immer noch nicht gerafft Michael ist tot,das muss man sich mal reinziehn.weg ende aus !!!

  • no, he isn't the oldest, he's fourth child. :) No matter what, for me Jermaine is always the best.

  • he sang it better than mike himself

  • @dayfox

    Jermaine sang it with pain in his heart because his brother died, ... so Jermaine sang it with the most of emotion possible.

    Maybe thats because you like Jermaine`s version better than Michaels ?

  • maybe your right but ither way he sang it amazing
