I'm sure most of you have seen it.
If you want to talk about it, talk about Michael, just come here.

watched it, think I've missed first 15 minutes but watched till the end.. few tears during some performances.. but hearing Paris at the end really made me cry..
and one line I have in mind now was said in a speech to the kids "..your dad wasnt strange, it was strange what he had to deal with!"
RIP Michael!!!

I think I watched the first 15 minutes and then the video broke. Can't watch it on tv because I don't have tv right now. So I went to cnn but when I started the video the memorial had just ended. They reaired Paris though. It was heart-breaking. It must be horrible to have to go through this. And all the media probably doesn't help.
I really liked Lionel Richie's performance. I've heard Jermaine sang "Smile" but I haven't seen it yet.

I really liked this:
Two of my favorite MJ songs. I also really really love "They Don't Care About Us".

I'm pleased to know they've included sign language performance with Jennifer, that made a lot of deaf people around the world ecstatic!

Strange means departing from what is ordinary, usual, or to be expected.
Other words for it include, weird, odd, eccentric, unique.

Aaaww, lol. It was a rhetorical question. But thanks! hehe
Honestly, I think I've heard that song for the first time just a few days ago. But I really like it. Had to search for it on youtube and listen to it a couple of times.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was one of those words that doesn't translate well from english to german.

haha.. yeah.. we are strange too! lol but good to know we can ask if we dont know a translation
I normally use dict.cc if i try to look something up, but sometimes you cant just translate one word to get the definition.. hehe

dict.cc is awesome. I usually use dict.leo.org but whenever I can't find a word or phrase on there, dict.cc has the translation.

haha... i don't know these translation-sites you two are talking about. I normally use "yahoo's Babelfish" to translate... its cool with single words to translate and whole sentences... but sometime you have to think a lot about what they would mean by some translations.
But the I like it... =)

I don't like Bablefish too much. They sometimes have mistakes in their sentences..
