I feel like her voice has deteriorated so much since she first covered the song. I remember really loving her version when she first sang it. Now, she sounds shrieky. I feel this way about her voice in general. The guy singing with her sounds just as good as he did when they first did the song.Date: 7/7/2009 1:59:23 PM

Oops -- I accidentally hit submit before finishing. I was wondering who''s watching it.
I am, and I liked Mariah Carey''s performance. They were saying on ABC news that she needed to have a backup singer help her out with the song because she couldn''t hit all the ranges needed -- the same ones that Michael sang himself originally. It was interesting.
you can stream it live on yahoo.Date: 7/7/2009 2:07:59 PM

Does anyone know of any dialogue that is being published on line for those that can''t watch?
I feel the same, she normally didn''t have a problem with that song, but she didn''t sound as good. Still a great performance from Mariah, just heard better.Date: 7/7/2009 2:05:55 PM

thanks brightlight
I think that may be part of it, but if you listen to her cds from when she first started and listen to her current cds, there's definitely a difference. Plus, if you listen to her live cd she did back in the day and listen to her perform live now, there's a really noticeable difference. I also think part of it is that she tries to over-emote.Date: 7/7/2009 2:18:58 PM

Yeah, Mariah's voice seemed to crack at times, but I just chalked it up to her being upset and/or nervous.
You know, with all of his scandals in recent years, I forgot how great some of his music really was. I hope they release a cd of all these performances.Date: 7/7/2009 2:36:04 PM

I''m really interested in how his kids will be raised, how they''ll be looked at by others, and what they think of all this. They''re young, I know, and I wonder if any of them will speak of their father one day in interviews. I just wonder how they view the world they grew up in.
John Mayer is on now -- he''s great!
Yahoo will probably keep it on their website for a while, so you should be able to watch it again later on their website.Date: 7/7/2009 2:38:10 PM

had to turn it off, afraid of getting in trouble at work (sad to say that is so considering how monumental this is). I hope they replay it over the next few days so I can watch/tape..... hmmmm a thought!

I don''t think there''s been anyone on this level since Elvis.
Same thoughts here. She delivered it well without being melodramatic (unlike Brooke). Personally I think they shd just stop with the 'one glove' thing. Only MJ could carry that look; the rest simply look ridiculous. I dun remember music stars honoring Elvis by wearing his sequinned high collared jumpsuits..or sporting his sideburns..Date: 7/7/2009 2:02:28 PM

I thought Queen Latifa's speech was beautiful...Maya Angelou's poem (with Queen Latifa read) moved me to tears.
I thought Brooke Shields was very genuine. Aren''t those his brothers who are wearing the one glove?Date: 7/7/2009 3:00:24 PM

I didn''t really think about the fact that it would be shown around the world. It goes to show how far-reaching his status was. Status might not be the right word but hopefully you know what I mean.Date: 7/7/2009 3:16:10 PM

I''m watching it. Luckily it''s evening here so no work constraints.
It''s a very good and fitting tribute.
