Oh, I just saw Beyonce.Granted that she has that afro wig on, I think she has a concept in her mind, so I’m expecting sass and a good vocal performance.
Now, I’m still waiting for Christina to rehearse!!!I’m so excited!

Question: Will Beyonce perform via satellite??
I bet she will be delighted to know that @ the tribute she is allowed to COPY Michael Jackson. So no one can object to THAT. Yes just this one time it’s allowed.

Honey before you come at anybody like that, you should consider your grammar, spelling and in general, your vocabulary. I tried to read your comment out loud and I sounded like I was speaking in phonics.

October 8, 2011 at 4:29 pm
Wow, I thought that was Solange there for a minute. They look a great deal alike when Bey wears her hair black! IMO
Are those MJ’s children in the top left corner? Paris is a cutie and Blanket is simply adorable with all that hair!! I’m afraid to hear LaToya sing. She was never any good at it! I hope all goes/went well for the sake of MJ’s memory!

October 8, 2011 at 6:51 pm
I hope that list is FAKE!
Doesnt Bey get TIRED of doing that same ole boring WYAre??
Weve seen her do it atleast 3 times already, & Shes been doing it since she was 7 apparently. 
Id rather her do BEN.
SMH, She should do something EPIC just to Outstage everyone else like she does at Award Shows & like MJ did Decades B4 her
Or atleast to show her Versatility. Vocally weve seen her do enuff to know that she can Mimi ck the sounds of both Prince & MJ Like the “oahhhh” by Prince or the “Hehe” that MJ used to do. 
There are just SO MANY other things Bey could do than some old Mo’town Jackson 5 hit.

MJ kids just stated that BEYONCE is continuing their father legacy
Years ago MJ was always labeled as a thief, he was getting sued left and right…….
So I guess it passed on to Beyonce, since MJ is gone…… now you know beyonce is a bad bitch, even Michael’s family stated she’s a great artist….

you tube had several headlines that read ‘christina sings smile’ christina at mj tribute but one was short footage of britney, gaga etc.
all the christina fans can just get ready for all the snarkiness or be prepared to hire a detective to find much hype about her. the media and tgj are already coming with the SH so you all better be ready to bring the IT.
love ya christina but i’m still beggin’ you to kick the big western old ‘dolly parton’ hair!!!

@JESSE LOPEZ- Gurl bye. Take your crusty, lonely ass to bed. You must be mad because your irrelevant fave wasn’t invited? Whether the kids are his biologically or not, he is still the father as he raised them. Focus on you and your own life because you seem depressed and lonely .Those kids are worth more than your lifes savings and then some. So the question is, who cares what YOU have to say? Right.

Latoya looks a hot fucking mess! People really need to leave that plastic surgery alone cause once you start you can never go back and you are screwed! SMH.
Awww! Beyonce looks so cute with that afro! I saw a video of her performance and she did great! I don’t want to say she had the best performance because I haven’t seen the others yet, but I am pretty sure her’s is at the top of the list.
Michael’s kids are cute too. They are so articulate and well spoken. He raised those kids so well. Well, I don’t know about Blacket, I haven’t heard that kid speak not one word, the kid seems mute. Or maybe he’s just shy. They really need to cut his hair cause he is starting to look like one of those kids from a horror movie. Just creepy!
Can’t wait t see Christina perform Dirty Diana! That’s my shit! Hope she doesn’t over sing it though.
