Why were all these people invited to the funeral?

This has to be a hoax. The private funeral was supposed to be just for close family and friends.

Yet we have
Kenny Ortega, TII dancers, John Mclain, Dave Dave, Branca just to name a few.

As far as I know, their relationship to Michael was strictly professional, and only began with the start of rehearsals.
This does not make sense. Then we have Kenny Ortega looking like he is organising a concert or something, rather than just sitting down being a guest like everyone else..

Another thing I discovered, is that obviously not many of these people are known to us.

So I started fishing around trying to see who is in the crowd. So far, this is what I found.

Firstly, I still believe the "Fans of Southern California" have something to do with this elaborate hoax. We see their faces everywhere, and they only formed the group after MJ's alleged death. Here we go.......
The policeman we see everywhere, seems to be invited as a guest.

I also see some of the FSC members seated along with them. This is my evidence to date.

I also think the Holly Terrace they show via helicoter is different to the one shown from the ground................

I'm starting to think there are certain fans that are paid to act generally nasty towards Believers by who I don't know but something sure stinks about a certain clique on that Sony forum. It goes beyond just not believing. They are like brainwashed or paid they get so hateful towards anyone who dares think Michael is alive almost like they want him to be dead or they want to wallow in sadness for the rest of their lives. That forum is depressing.

Yeah the people at that so call funeral was odd. First of all why was actress Lisa Raye there? I don't think she even knew MJ. For those of you that don't know her she's the lady that played Diamond in the Player's Club movie. Then she had the nerve to wear all white to the funeral. Also Clifton Davis? I know he wrote a song for J5 but was he close to the family? Then we only see like 4 of 5 famous people there. Liz, Maculay Culkin, and Chris Tucker. MJ knew everybody. You would think that there would have been more famous people there. Where was Akon? Then of course no Diana Ross the woman who he adored the most next to his mother. Come on now suspect.

Wasn't Barry Bonds there also.? If so I wonder why I don't know if he ever met Michael before.

I always thought that Kenny Ortega appears to the director of the film in this "and burial"
nefari internet recalls that we are not the faces, maybe in this forum Sony is that clique of people with the sole aim of sowing hatred and discord among the fans. <!-- s:geek: -->:geek:<!-- s:geek: -->

Kenny / Mclain / Dave Dave / Branca and Mike go back a long time, their relationship did not began with the start of the rehearsals.

Exactly what i was going to say however the rest of the bunch i have no idea why they would be there for a REAL funeral. Of course it is a hoax

Some may disagree, but why was that hideous b**** Tatiana Thumbzen there? She had the nerve to write a defaming book about MJ (in an effort to defame his character after she was fired from the tour) and her junkets promoting the book were equally as hurtful. She was talentless and knew that her book would only gain momentum from the shelves if she'd jumped on the bandwagon of hate. His handlers were often ridiculed but they were obviously doing what he'd wanted and we know that he was a pretty good judge of character. She desperately tried to seduce him. Her intentions were about as good as the plague and they knew it which is why she'd gotten fired!!! She looked terribly sad.....it had to have been guilt.

Oh and one more thing, why would one need seat fillers at a funeral!!!---ha ha ha

I have always wondered the same thing about the "players" at the funeral. They all seem so random. I wouldn't put too much thought into Lisa Raye wearing white at the funeral though. She has done this for years. She only wears white. It's her thing, even her cars are all white. She as have touched on the topic on her reality show. I'm not sure seeing as I only watched one episode.

Souza's right their relationship goes far back in time. Kenny has been apart of every concert of Michael's solo career (Bad on up to HIStory). Too much to post here but if you do a bit of digging you'll see how close he was to Mclain, Dave Dave and Branca.

I agree.....Michael Jackson's funeral at that!!!!????

zelkyla

While I agree the funeral seemed odd, I got a bit uncomfortable reading some of these posts. Please remember, Not everyone that Michael knows or became friends with made front page news AND maybe Lisa Raye and Clifton P. were very friendly with Michael. I am sure Michael knew a lot of people that we don't have a clue about. Just had to say that...

bubaliciousjlb

in an interview with tvone lisa raye said that she had never even met michael but loved him as an entertainer and that is why she couldnt understand why she was crying so bad when the news broke that he died.

Red_Rose

I didn't know that Dave Dave was actually on the funeral? Dave Dave was on Larry King Live that day with the funeral ...or I am mistaken?! <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> Hmmm and speak about MJ's friends on the funeral...where was David Guest, MJ's best friend from 40 years?
