Man In The Mirror performance

[MJJSwissFan]

I loved it when the musicians played Man In The Mirror and there was a spotlight on the microphone. I thought it was great that they let Michael perform on stage one last time. Probably his best performance ever...

[georegwhufc]

i liked that also

[sugarbunny891]

Now im confused as he done human nature - ignore me being dumb can think straight.

[djbaby]

me2 - that was so touching

[BruceWayne]

To me the MITM "performance" was an indication of how empty the spotlight is without Michael, without his voice... Really beautiful.

[sugarbunny891]

I think im not going mad are you sure you dont mean the human nature instumental?

[Debhiwahh1983]

John Mayer....he was really good. He captured the essence of the song.

It's a shame he's more known for the women he's with than for his musical ability...

I'm talking about the end after Paris spoke, the musicians played MITM.

Naw there was a part where they played the MITM instrumental and a spotlight was shining at the microphone stand, and the stage was empty.

I'm not sure all countries showed that though, maybe they decided to cut to their own commentators or something.

I dont understand where MITM has come from though?

John was amazing it was so sweet , he didnt open his eyes the whole way through i thought it seemed like he was meant to sing but couldnt :(

edited : aaaaaa okay they must of cut that. Will youtube it

[MJfan82]

they played man in the mirror and there was one microphone and a spotlight. it was beautiful

[MJandRFfan]

Yeah that was just so beautiful... I cried as I could just see Michael singing and performing with all his heart in that spotlight...

[Shazeen]

I was crying all the way through but then Man in the Mirror really set me off. He finished concerts with that song, and then left the stage for the final time with that song...so so very sad.

[sugarbunny891]

[Strawberry]

that lone mic stand.... now without Michael :(

[MichaelMySoul]

The empty stage and the microphone handed to Michael sent shivers down my spine... How symbolic.

[Raiden]

In Poland
this part was not shown:(

[moonball29]

That just set me off crying all over again. It was a powerful moment.

[MJfan82]

It is probably on youtube by now.

[DJ Spins the sounds]

BBC2 cut short the memorial, such shame becuase the ending was beautiful with MITM, Sky shown the complete memorial. I'm hoping that there will be a download link soon (hi-def).

I have a feeling there might even be a DVD release. Because at the end it said something like AEG Live, all rights reserved...

[LisaB]

Wow, thanks for that Sky link. I cried, and laughed, and cried and laughed, and cried, and laughed.

Beautiful. Intimate: that is how he was. Why are people surprised? He was so private and intimate.

Yes the media tried to tell us the color of his undies, but MJ was a private one.

Love was so great to see.

[Love4MJ]

That as so beautiful. I just imagined Michael there singing in the spotlight.

It was the best moment of the evening (Paris and John Mayer were close).

So beautiful, so sad... heartbreaking:(
But I'm sure Michael loved it... he saw it all:)

[Mjkop4ever]

I didn't see that! :o :(
Can't wait for being at home now! :(

[Speed_Demon19]

Yeah i thought it was a very nice touch... That, along with Paris and Jermaine's performances set the waterworks off so bad. The whole ceremony was so beautiful.

[Mjkop4ever]

That was very nice!

[DanceofLorelei1994]

That hurt me like mad. It hit home how much we truly, truly lost.

[Spider-Man]

the ending with the spotlight was so beautiful and so meaningful...they got me with that one.

[MJGirlEternalDreamer]

That was one of the most emotional moments for me at the memorial. As they were taking Michael's casket out everyone was shouting "Thank you, Michael!" and "We love you!" and then they started playing "Man In The Mirror" and shined the spotlight on the microphone and I almost lost it! A bunch of people started to leave because they thought the service was over once they heard the music starting, but I saw what they were doing, and then after the song finished they had a prayer and everyone in the audience joined hands. It was beautiful.

[vinniram]

I was so angry when they stopped the instrumental after about 2 minutes, and some random guy came into that spotlight and began talking. didn't he realize that they should have just kept playing the song, maybe even put the actual Michael's song, and just keep the spotlight empty? I was so emotional at that point, and when that guy just stepped in and ended it I was so annoyed.

[dangerous2000watts]

I didn't see it sorry
I thought you must be confused

I saw in on the web, with rubbish CNN live, because a Korean translator on a TV live show was so poor. (She didn't seem to know the names of Jacksons. LOL Shame on ya)
CNN was out of sound and video for minutes.

Honestly I think what happened there was lots of people were starting to leave because they thought it was the end of the service, so I think he wanted to get up there and say the prayer with everyone before everyone had left.

I totally agree - it was such a perfect way to end the service, with just a spotlight on the microphone, and an instrumental version of the song. It got me within seconds, just beautiful.

I think the whole memorial was just beautiful, Michael would have been so proud with what his family organised for us all to say goodbye. I'm sure in a perfect world, every one of his true fans would have been there to pay their respects to him, but then again, in a perfect world he would still be here.

I really miss him.

I felt the same thing. I wanted it to continue, and it kind of made me angry when that guy walked into the spotlight in the middle of the song.

[MJJISTHEMAN]

Yeah that bit really set me off. Couldn't stop crying.
