Do you think they should have a public viewing of MJ?

I think it's creepy IMO to have a public viewing of his body.  Did they do this for Elvis (I really don't know)?  I just can't imagine wanting to see him dead.

WDYT?

    I think its ok.  He had some hardcore fans so it will be good for them to say goodbye

    it wouldnt be a viewing if it was a close casket.  If it was closed then it would be called "calling hours"

    I think viewings are creepy anyway - however, the entire universe will want to see him.  And given the way he was, he would want it, too.

    So... if they have a showing, will they show his whole face or cover most of it like he always did?

    I thought they already said yesterday that there would be a public viewing.

    And it might be closed casket.  When Ronald Regan died and he was lying in state in the capitol, they called it a viewing and it was closed casket.  They kept saying "viewing" so I wondered if it would be open casket, but it was not. 

    ETA:I misread the title.  I thought it said "will" instead of "should".  I don't think viewings are a big deal.  That's how they always are in my family so maybe I'm just used to it.

    I'm not a fan but I think they should have a viewing (open casket) just for his fans.  Plus, like the other pp said...he would have probably wanted it that way.  Maybe it is in his will?
