I too was at the awards back in 2006, and im glad SOMEONE has explained what REALLY happened that night!!!!
MJ certainly didn't get booed, Rihanna however.....
I was second row from the front around the time they started passing water around, and i too felt like i was going 2 pass out any second. During this time, there was around a 40 miniute gap between segments!!! I felt like all my internal organs were crushed as i was so squashed.

Anyways it was all worth it 2 see the King of Pop in the flesh for the very first time. He's been my idol since i was born!!!! and i'd do it all again! :-)
