Anyone here going to be watching?

I'll watch on Sky News. When I say watch it will be on in the background and muted as I am listening to music, Sky news is always on when I'm not watching TV. So I'll look up and comment a bit on what it happening.

I Will Watch it =] Only for Shaheen though

Only problem with Sky News is that you have the adverts. Think I might watch on BBC Two.

Mariah Carey is performing too. Please add this. Her name is epic and MUST be included.

*twitches*

Added in bold, 'specially for you. :tongue:

:sad:

God, he was beautiful when he was black.

Smokey Robinson :love:

Bafana HIMSELF.

:lovedup:

I kinda laughed at that... but I'm guessing it wasn't supposed to be a joke

Its gone very quiet... are we missing something? is my tv buggered?

Technical difficulties according to BBC2 lol

No BT Sat live Feed
gets Storm problem

Yes Big Storms
are getting in the way of the Sat Feed.

Apparently it was supposed to be a moment's silence.

Really looking forward to Shaheen Jaforgholi and I think Usher is performing too.

No we have the pictures and sound, it's the actual service that has technical difficulties lol

yeah its just technical difficulties me thinks!

It wasn't a joke. He really was. As white... ew.

Sky news lady said it was a moments silence.. :/

lol she lied, they were waiting for the choir to come out but there was a hold up. (not as in a gun robbery hold up!)

I think they're trying to cover up the fact that they have made a big boo-boo LOL

:elephant:

Ugh.. I turned over to SKY Arts HD... it's the Sky news coverage... :/
Crapo.

Who wants to see his body in HD?

*raises hand*

Who even wants to see his body, its pretty gross in all fairness.

Wonder if MJ requested that some day when he was drunk or high or whatever... as a joke!

I am watching on BBC Two. So sad. Seems to be a bit of a delay, huh?

I have muted the TV.
Neil Diamond - Forever in Blue Jeans is playing... it kind of fits.

wow. =\

There's his body!

:sad:

Ok
This may sound really stupid but is that his body in the coffin? I didn't think they'd do that for the public service.

A ****ing GOLD caskit.
Bob better get that treatment.... I swear.

that's not Mariah Carey? LOL.

Apparently so.. but we'd never know if it wasn't

This guy sounds like Obama

.Andy. I like your signature. I always forget that Lisa Left eyed lopez is dead :sad:
