Love you Alice Cooper! Thank you for the kind words about our Sweet David. You rock! Rest in peace David Cassidy. We love and miss you. ❤️

Duh!! Of course, "bells" refers to David's bell bottomed pants!

Came back here again. You're thoughts on David are right on point He was a phenomenal artist,who didn't get the respect he deserves. One voice that will never and I mean never be forgotten,or replaced

Who is this woman........she is horrible !!, she should learn how not to read off her phone that was so tacky. This definitely didn't honor David Cassidy at all !! The California Music Hall Of Fame should be ashamed of this mess!!

solo se arabe y un poco esbañol hola leif que tal yo pienso tu estar bien y agradesco a ti por tu music shuckran

Don't be mad at me I couldn't find you even tho I lived right there in long beach.

I'm disgusted, disappointed, and utterly ashamed of some people's reckless comments/ speech. David Brian Cassidy was an ICON! I'm from Australia and I saw David perform in 1974 my first ever concert. What an honour it was one that will stay with me FOREVER 😢❤

The fundamental question show organizers should routinely ask themselves beforehand is “What kind of tribute would the deceased artist want?” If the organizers don’t care about that, then the tribute is just a self centered virtue signaling sham. If they do care about that, well, anyone can figure out that the talented David would have preferred the tribute talk about his songs and albums than embarrassing personal life misfortunes sprinkled with accusations like “…it was his excuse…” and “…finally admitted…” This was not a true fan with enough relevant facts in her head to make a speech without doink doink doinking on her cellphone the whole time. Look at this comments section; everyone is disgusted! With good reasons! Is this presenter going to be asked to reply to questions asked of her and is she going to make a public apology and explanation speech?

That was not the well deserved tribute to David it should have been. That was self serving exploitation and not properly about his talented music career. His financial status and personal life challenges should have had nothing to do with this. True fans do not want to dwell on that. Criticizing David with “…it was an excuse to hide…” is not tributing! No songs or albums of David’s were named. She had a snide sarcastic tone of voice all the way through. This was not heartfelt. He didn’t say his last words about time to be repeat by an exploiter. I think she does NOT love him.

She must have taken a class by Mike Love on how to piss off your inductee. If I recall, Mike Love mouthed off during the 1988 RRHOF induction on fellow inductees The Beatles, Stones, Supremes, and Billy Joel on their feuds while bragging about the band harmony and interrupting Brian Wilson's induction speech. Carl Wilson was embarrassed, saying it was the end of the Beach Boys as he knew it. The CA Music HOF certainly embarrassed themselves by hiring this woman.

That was a VERY DISRESPECTFUL speech and if this so called Bella was a true friend she would NOT be trashing him like that at such an event!! I could only imagine the horror on the faces of his surviving family esp shirley jones and shaun cassidy… surely another more SUITABLE speaker could have been found.. shame on her and the whole team behind the event.. David Cassidy did not deserve that👎👎👎

Who is this Bum?? Crumb bum!!!

WTF was that? Did I hear her right? Did she try to take credit for "reviving" his career? The man entertained his entire life. He gave everything he had. There has never been another talent like David Cassidy and there never will be again! HOW DARE SHE! Sounded like a smear campaign!!

Horrible speech

Horrible woman. All about her if you notice. Nothing positive in it whatsover. Nothing about his stage work, Blood Brothers that he was so proud of. If she had gone out of her way to come up with something as bad this, she could'nt have done any better. Dreadful and she was reading it all off her phone. No wonder people were so angry.

What a terrible tribute speech

Disrespectful , narcissistic speech!!

This woman had no business talking. She did a pisspor job she didn’t prepare.

Almost as awful as the speech is posting this for clicks and views.

If you are a true fan of David's, you will take this down or not make it public.

I was there and let me tell you - I was shocked! I kept looking around, like 'is this lady for real??' What a disgrace. The worst part was there were a lot of young people in the audience who were talented singers and musicians. And this is the impression that they got of David. Unbelievable! How about talking about his influence on pop music - the thousands of sold out venues around the world, having a bigger fan club membership than Elvis or The Beatles? Now those kids will go away with the worse impression of David Cassidy. I'm at a loss for words. Another thing - I grew up listening to KLOS in SoCal and I have no idea who this woman is. I knew ALL the DJs. Maybe she was on the late night show or something. Anyway, the only highlight of the night was meeting other PF/DC fans and also hearing the Cowsills sing. But I left shortly after that disgraceful speech. Hopefully the CMHOF will make it right somehow.

Please take this down it’s an awful way to honor David Cassidy don’t let this women or this video see the light of day. The fan, Cassidy family, his best friend Sam Hyman are asking that it be taken down immediately, please!!

Just reported you. Horrible woman,how dsre you disrespect him

Who the hell are you?????

YOU need to do a total redo of this next year. !!!!

hard to watch........

This is horrible

This speech was nothing but an insult to all of David’s fans, friends and family. Who is this woman? And she claims to be a friend? Some friend! Scorching him in his special moment, albeit posthumously, is completely unacceptable and inappropriate. We all have baggage, but you don’t have to air it in public. ESPECIALLY at an event like this.

Bella Funk should have never given the speech. Why was she asked when even Shaun Cassidy would have proudly done the Honor for David. This woman made a mockery of the entire event and has made David's fans around the world very angry. Time to dismiss her from the organization and David given his Just Due to the World.

I’m just too disgusted for words..massive mistake CMHOF…MASSIVE!! 😡😡😡

Still reeling over this absolute POS presenter and her pathetic excuse of a speech. The damage has been done. I'm not sure anyone can do anything to make up for this.

What can I say that hasn't been said I waited so long for David to be honoured by his peers to acknowledge what he DID for the millions of people he touched. What do I get DRIVEL Who was that person? what gives her the right to trivilise a career of an amazing human being? Why didn't someone go up and stop her and as for reading it off her phone!! disgusting Poor David and Poor family and good on Sam for walking out I hope Beau wasn't there or Katie I'm shaking with anger as I type this SHAME on the whole organisation for allowing her to do that did they know what she was going tot say before hand Sam should've been the one to do the speech in the first place how must the family be feeling if I'm so angry!!! SHAME SHAME SHAME SOOOOOOO SAD Cassidy 4ever

Unprofessional, disrespectful. Please find someone who can do David justice and put out a speech that does him justice.

Take this down please! It was awful listening to it then and it is awful now! Why is this public now? I wish it would go away!!!

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE WOMAN

This was so much about herself!!! Very very sad

This is the worse speech Ive ever heard for honouring someone - what about his accomplishments in the 90’s his charity work the people he inspired ?? Instead all the negatives are mentioned - so disrespectful - and reading from a phone 😡😡😡😡

Well this is not a very good contribution to the hall of fame And you can tell this was not a prepared speech. just reading from the phone off another sight. don't really see were this person did not touch on his great contribution to the music world. anyone can read something from the phone. I don't hold a lot of respect for the hall of fame. his mistakes have nothing to do with his music and what he accomplished. Very pool tribute to David for sure.

She is total cringe.

This is no tribute, she showed no love or understanding of David and even seemed to enjoy speaking about the tragedies in his life, I bet Shirley, Shaun, Patrick and Ryan are deeply offended and upset to see this, as we, the fans are...

hell she was probably reading wikipedia

Thank you for sharing the stuff about David Cassidy and his family and all his friends and everything about David Cassidy. Do you have some more please share it thank you.’❤

How disgraceful… that was HORRIBLE!!!!!!!

What I would like to see is Ms. Funk issue a video apology to the CA Music Hall of Fame and also to all the attendees but most of all to the fans who had to listen to this parp.

Absolutely horrendous. All about her and not David's achievements. And reading it off her phone is unprofessional. SMH.

This speech was appalling! How could the CMHOF have lacked in the oversight of such a travesty. Someone needs to take ownership of this DISHonour shown to David Cassidy and his family and fans and publicly correct it. A post of apology doesn’t cut it- it’s just a start! If the presenter didn’t have something nice she could say about David’s legacy, she should have said nothing at all! The ceremony brought people together in anticipation of a tribute to David and sadly failed horribly.

Disgusting. Not a tribute. Just bashing him. Why not celebrate his wonderful accomplishments and the joy he brought so many

She's an idiot.

That is the worst induction speech I have ever heard. That was embarrassing, We need a do-over on this. I think Bella Funk, Funked it up. This was not a speech to honor the 70's heart throb we all love. She made no mention of all of his accomplishments, so sad. It was so unprofessional reading it off the internet on her phone. She didn't mention his many years in Vegas! His music, acting, or Broadway. The California Music Hall of Fame totally messed this up. We've waited a lifetime for him to be recognized for his accomplishments and now we will forever be reminded of this horrible speech. David deserves to be honored for his music. I hope someone decides to honor him in a better way.

She was totally unprofessional!!! If she truly is a David fan her speech would have come from the heart and not from a phone. She couldn't even take the time to write something heartfelt that was in her own words. She is not a true fan. I am so sorry to all those fans who spent hundreds or even thousands of dollars to go to this ceremony. I am angry just listening to this. This women owes David's fans an apology and never should have done this ceremony. Clearly she is not a true fan of David's and I question how she was chosen to do this speech.
