Whitney H's funeral

[CivicMan]

Loving the gospel choir on now (Sky News). Really going for it.

[Wheelrepairit]

I'm not going to stick 3 hrs of this mind, take me out is on later.

[Northern Munkee]

A fat Samuel Jackson appears to be on stage dressed as a Catholic priest.

Touching of the local gang bangers to call a truce today.

Am shocked to see Sky News showing this live as "news".

More troubling is why I'm still watching. Tell me later how it finishes.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Ahh..

I did wonder why sky news were showing the blues brothers.

[Northern Munkee]

Thats why I was troubled, I was imagining trampolinists.

Oh look Jessie Jackson on stage...

Its very loud, with the congregation throwing their hands in the air at random. A bit like Whitney at her best.

I think i'd love that programme if it involved 'taking people out' with high powered rifles.

Is it like X Factor where we get to vote people off?

[Shaw Tarse]

Is it still going on?

Does it warrant live coverage?

If they thought it got them more publicity........

[carmonk]

Live coverage is not only unneccessary it's an ironic misnomer. Then again, I expect nothing more of the news channels so I was neither surprised nor disappointed.

I watched Marco Simonchelli's funeral live because I wanted to, I bet there are more Whitney fans out there so probably, yes.

Indeed - in this day and age why wouldn't it warrant live coverage?

Or would you prefer a highlights package come 11pm tonight?

[Eric Mc]

I prefer Match of the Day to a live match so highlights are fine

[Dan_1981]

It's a fair point.

You'll still get all the good bits.

I note that Aretha Franklin coulnd't sing due to illness, so the congregation was left with Kevin Costner.

[Eric Mc]

What did he sing? "Say a Little Prayer for You"?

[Sheets Tabuer]

He said something about if you build it they will come.
