I was thinking again at this. If you make a search on google image for Steve Gately funeral, you'll have the chance to see a real funeral.

And also the members of the band staged an all-night vigil at the church where the body of their departed friend was laid. They didn't left him alone.

Poor Steve. I really loved Boyzone, especially Ronan Keating. Steve was so full of energy and so funny! I've seen photos from the funeral. All his former band collegues came and they carried his coffin. You should have seen their faces. Real grief, real sense of loss, real tears. Maybe the European are more emotional than the Americans.

As I said above I received the Opus today. I just looked through it. But something caught my eye at the end. There is a list of people who wrote tributes in this album. Here are the names (in the order that their tributes appear in the Opus): Reverend Jesse Jackson, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Neal Preston, Suzanne de Passe, Tony Jones, Smokey Robinson, Jim Britt, Raphael Saadiq, David Foster, Teddy Riley, Jimmy Jam, Travis Payne, Paula Abdul, Cris Judd, John Landis, Peter Guber, Steve Whitsitt, John Singleton, Deborah Nadoolman Landis, Kimora Lee Simmons, Matthew Rolston, Lionel Ritchie, Wade Robson, David Blaine, Ken Kragen, Alan Buz Kohan, Jane Goodall, Annie Salijevic, Nate Giorgio, David Nordahl, Celine Lavail, Sugar Ray Leonard, Frank DiLeo, Jerry Greenberg, Shaquille O'Neal, Mike Tyson, Savion Glover, Olivia Newton-John, Arsenio Hall, Jane Fonda, Verdine White, Spike Lee, Reinet "Willow" Loubser.
Who's missing from this list? Maybe Elizabeth Taylor, maybe Kenny Ortega, maybe Miko Brando?
Until page 100 there are mostly pictures with Michael as a child.
Much too many photos with Jackson 5.
1 photo with Fred Astaire.
1 photo with Janet (in the studio at Scream) and Janet also appear in a group photo with Jackson 5 + the 3 sisters.
2 photos with Diana Ross, 1 photo with Jane Fonda, 1 photo with Tatum O'Neal, 2 photos with Brook Shields, 1 group photo with Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minelli, Whitney Houston, another photo just with Liza M., 2 photos with Oprah (?), 1 photo with Elizabeth Taylor (in a period when she was very fat), 1 photo with Macaulay Culkin (and Mickey Mouse), 1 photo with Princess Diana, 1 photo with Lisa Marie (and a huge group of children). Lisa also appears with Michael in a photo visiting a children hospital.
A portrait of Prince called "Prince, The Boy King", which is beautiful by the way.
2 photos with Frank DiLeo.
Another small group photo in which among others is Lisa Marie too.
2 photos from 2009: 1. Arriving amid a crush of paparazzi to see Oliver! at London's Theatre Royal in March 2009 and 2. Still got it: Michael at 50 in rehearsals for his planned This is it series of concerts at London's O2 arena. Sadly, his untimely passing meant the show would not go on.
And this is it guys.
My opinion?
As I already said too many photos with Michael as a child and teenager.
Too many (much too many) photos with the Jackson 5.
Zero photos with Mr. and Mrs. Jackson.
Zero tributes from Elizabeth Taylor or Macaulay Culkin (and probably many other celebrity close friends).
And the most important thing: no photo with his children.
I have this strange feeling that someone is trying to make me acknowledge the fact that Michael was black and that the most important period in his life was Jackson 5 period.
And I don't think is just a feeling. I'm almost convinced that this is the message of this album.
And I don't think that this was Michael's idea. Somebody else took over the creation of this album after June 25.
Even if the publisher says that only the Estate representatives were involved in this, I don't believe him. I think the family was very involved too.
But then: why there is not a single photo of the parents? and also no photos of the children?
:?

Just received the OPUS!
Very big, very heavy!
This reminded me of TNZ's article "And the Opus goes to ...or Augumented Reality of Marketing" ... Jackson - coming soon to your coffee table, because for the moment this is the only place I can put this album.
The photos are beautiful, but I have to read the text too (soon).
