I agree, I saw that too, and I had thought I was the only one. He was almost ready to blow up from anger.The only thing i thought was at the memorial they gave credit for we are the world only writer as Michael.Lionel Ritchie and Michael both wrote the song together, and Lionel at the memorial was not acknowledged as having any part in the writing of the song.
This brought back memories for me. I remember at the time of the memorial I was barely functioning in my grief and I couldn't get out of my mind the images of Joe and Katherine's faces, his nonchalant remarks and the video of her shopping and gum chewing in Target. I remember thinking how incredibly consumed with grief I am, in such a deep depression I can't eat or sleep, never even met Michael or saw a concert, yet had never cried this much in my life over anyone, and I couldn't understand the mild nonreactions from his own family members.

When Michael ''died'' the world stood still and my world came crashing down on me. I dont think Ive ever been this stricken with grief and sadness and depression, I couldnt even see my TV screen from all the crying and I even cried so hard I was screaming. On top of that, I was using a towel and not paper tissues to wipe off all the snot and tears. I didnt eat and sleep properly for weeks and I was put on perscription sleeping meds to get some rest. Fans all over the world committed suicide one after one. And the family? Not even ONE TEAR. Not one genuine remark of saddness or sorrow. They're up promoting themselves, laughing, smiling, shopping... Its hard to understand. I will say its because they know he is alive, but if he is not, those people have no feelings whatsoever. At first I thought they're just in shock, thats why they cant show their sadness. But come on, a memorial or funeral can make anyone cry, Ive cried at memorials when not even knowing the deceased in person!

I can't make any sense of it either. For a long period of time i was convincing myself that grief is something so personal and was reluctant to even try judging someone for not grieving hard enough. But my brain just couldn't process the images of devastated fans and neutral family members in the same frame... and kids... I lost my father at the age of 19 and i still recall that whole year as a nightmare... Today i've seen an interview with Quincy Jones on some Czech TV channel (my aunt had to translate for me). The interview was taken on the next day following the Memorial. Quincy didn't attend it and stayed for the cinema festival in Czech Republic. The interview is about 1 hour long and he only speaks of MJ for probably 15 minutes at max somewhere closer to the end. The rest is just all about him and his incredible career (which is a fact, the man is a living legend). But for Christ's sake he was almost like a father to MJ, maybe even closer than Joe was at a time... He was smily and everything.... woah.. i think i will never understand. My aunt was in shock just like me.
