Brooke Shields made me tear up big time. I did not expect her speech to be the most "real" (or at least it seemed very real to me). She spoke about Michael Jackson, the human being, not "The King of Pop."

Actually, Stevie's "they wont go when I go", was brilliant, passionate, and so appropriate for Michael...from the moment he uttered 'no more lying friends, wanting tragic ends...'

Brooke was beautiful and genuine.

The kids made Michael's fatherhood real to those disbelievers.

I like how the family reminded us how human Michael Jackson really was.
