Surely the most touching moment from Michael Jackson’s memorial service would have to be his 11 year old daughter Paris taking the stage and saying a few words about her father.
“I just want to say ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine,” Paris said, surrounded by the rest of the Jackson family. “And I just want to say I love him so much.”
Paris was then embraced by her family and taken off stage. While her words were very heartfelt and emotional, they were also surprising because we never hear the Jackson children speak. To be honest, this added a layer of humanity to this whole ordeal that I didn’t feel until today. I always imagined Jackson’s children to be somewhat distant and silent, the typical celebrity child. This just goes to show that they are real kids in a completely surreal situation.
The video of Paris’ speech is making the rounds online and you can watch it here. You might want to grab a tissue before hand.
Michael Jackson’s sister Janet Jackson attended tonight’s BET Awards along with her father Joe Jackson. Janet speaks to the fans very seriously about Michael’s death.
Janet says:
“My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was just too painful, so they elected me to speak to all of you. I’m going to keep it very short. To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family, and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”
Popeater reports: Michael Jackson’s spokeswoman says the musician will make a “special announcement” in London this week, amid speculation the reclusive singer will announce his first live concerts in years. Sky News and others have reported that the troubled King of Pop will perform a string of dates at the city’s O2 Arena, the location of Led Zeppelin’s epic reunion gig back in late 2007
Michael Jackson is still alive? I swore he died like 5 years ago and this is just a skinny “stunt double” walking around.
Don’t ask me what kind of stunts the stunt double would be doing …..(Laughing hysterically to myself)…but maybe he flips spoons into his cheerio bowl at record speed.
Or so Life & Style magazine says. They go on saying that its been confirmed by “sources close to the couple.” Her pregnancy is supposedly the reason why she canceled her remaining tour dates. I guess time will tell if this is true or not.
