Shields: We Need to Smile

Longtime Jackson friend Brooke Shields took the stage after John Mayer. She was extremely emotional when she began her speech.

Shields said she and Michael had a bond. She often teased Jackson about how late in life he started in entertainment. He started a 5...she started at 11 months. Shields said when they were together, they were two little kids having fun.


Shields talked about how much Jackson loved to laugh. She said his laugh was the purest of anyone she had ever known. Shield said that people from the outside may have thought they were odd..but they didn't find it odd at all.

  2. Very moving speech from Brooke, and they were only odd to idiots. They had alot in common and enjoyed their friendship. Very hard to smile, this is a great loss.

  3. Jermaine is beautiful. Not perfect, but very moving. I thought Michael Jackson's version was great.
