    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!

  16. kody3x October 8, 2011

    @bow wow stan are you serious

  17. Cookie -Contralto DIVAS – TONI BRAXTON, RIHANNA, BRANDY October 8, 2011

    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.

  18. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 8, 2011

    I have pictures of Christina performing, but TGJ is moderating my comment 🙁

    She performed ‘Smile’ and ‘Dirty Diana’.Some people on Twitter are raving about ‘Smile’ and she had dancers on stage for ‘Dirty Diana’.

  19. ChristinasCOMING October 8, 2011

    I heard Christina’s performing Dirty Diana….YES!

    No doubt she will blow it up considering she’s been working with a vocal coach 😉

    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.

  25. …baa, “so i hired an ex look-a-like….what?” October 8, 2011

    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!

  26. …baa, “so i hired an ex look-a-like….what?” October 8, 2011

    Why was this concert/tribute held in the UK and not in the USA? If anyone knows…..thanks!!

  27. survivor October 8, 2011

    Is Beyonce really performing? Will she be lip-syncing or performing live (considering her pregnancy, as she did with the VMA’s)

  28. beck October 8, 2011

    when are the performances gonna be online?

  29. Pop Royalty (RUDE BOY) October 8, 2011

    @ASAP :

    Lolz ! I would love to see her perform that song ! Everybody knows she will kill that song !

  30. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 8, 2011

    YES!I made it!So, the photo that I managed to post is from her ‘Dirty Diana’ performance.Do not bash her for the messed up wig, it’s just because of the wind machine 😉

  36. irene46 October 8, 2011

    this is why i b**** about the way christina gets dissed. why won’t tgj show her rehearsal. they can show her alledgedly tripping but can’t give her shine for a good performance. obvious haters!!

  37. S*** (U MAD?) October 8, 2011

    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. 😐

  38. FREIDA (THE VOICE) October 8, 2011

    Lmfao @the only Bow Wow Stan I have ever come in contact with on a blog. Ctfu… I just cannot today : )

  39. jill October 8, 2011

    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 b****, even Michael’s family stated she’s a great artist….

  40. LaLa October 8, 2011

    @Sh*T…

    Aww boo… *pats* I like your Ideas of Bey singin BEN instead IWB-WYA. or at least she could sing 2 songs right?! but well… Hopefully she could perform another MJ tribute next time & not sing WYA. 🙂

  41. jesse lopez October 8, 2011

    LMAO from letoya to beyonce?? don’t yall mean just letoya and beyonce….I heard only thirsty and greedy motherfuckas were behind this so I guess when you need the money and/or publicity you will do what you have to.I will skim it burt no way am I looking forward to this montrosity of an affair!

  42. irene46 October 8, 2011

    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!!!

  43. irene46 October 8, 2011

    correction:

    be prepared to hire a detective to find much if any hype about her when her cd is released.

  44. cw October 8, 2011

    I read on another site that jhud pulled out at the last minute. Is that true?

  45. THE GREAT LACEFRONCE RETURNS. October 8, 2011

    @JILL

    Stop your LIES on small children 😕

    Michael’s kids said NO SUCH THING about BLEACHonce

  46. jesse lopez October 8, 2011

    ^^LMAO
    and like we give a f*** what some children(who aren’t even his) has to say….it’s sad when you giving us kids as a reference as to how good your fave is….miley has kids for fans…. LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

  47. PYTFROMAL October 8, 2011

    @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.

    —->

  48. nice_gurl October 9, 2011

    Any videos yet?? I need to see Bey, Xtina’s and LaToya’s performances.

  49. VA STAND UP!!! October 9, 2011

    Latoya looks a hot f****** 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 s***! Hope she doesn’t over sing it though.

  50. jesse lopez October 9, 2011

    @pytfromal
    gurl hello hi! take you dry mouth ass to bed without a good night snack b**** cause you are overwieght on stupidity and a side of haterade. like I said the kids possibly aren’t his and who cares what they have to say they aren’t talent scouts or record label execs.my fave is no where near irelevant cinnabun while she is on A.I,countless endorsements invading your t.v and computers,three BIG movies to debut next year and the biggest song of 2011.. so you need to rest up or give up honey cuz your tired ass has been dragged, um kay!
