I have been watching Michael Jacksons memorial on the bbc
I had a few tears, when his little girl Paris spoke about loving her daddy, I cried buckets.

I have cried a few buckets too.Just at the end seeing all his family there.I know they are a show biz family and everything is a show,But I just felt for them as a normal family (if that makes sense)
The daughter I felt was just told to say what she did.(I may be wrong)Who know's .We are not his family,but are just on lookers.I am sure they are all grieving for him.

hi Helen

I don't know if she was told to say it or not, when she broke down I think that was her grieving .
I don't know why his children were there, but it was good for them to know what people thought of their father

yes unreal ...................those poor kids what kinda life have they had and what is going to be ahead of them ..............


but one thing is for sure .....she loved him.....and thats all we as those on the outside could have hoped for after the "bad" that was thought or said of him...

God be with them

well I was originally quite cynical but wow what a send off

I got choked up listening to Paris speak of her Daddy.
Quite an emotional memorial.

I sat and watched it from 4-30. Just as his little girl started to speak...a friend came to the door.First thing she said was she was sick of MJ.
So, I recorded the last bit. OH is now watching something so I will have to wait :((
I thought it all went well though...I wish somebody told the sons to stop chewing gum though lol

The childs speach is on utube

She made me cry too.
I don't think she was told what to say, One of the brothers said that Janet wanted to speak, So he didn't know it was going to be Paris until Janet moved the microphone down.
I think it finally hit home that to those children he was simply 'daddy'.

im so proud to be a Jackson, although not related , i even share Micheals mothers name, but with a slight difference, hers is Kathrine mine is Kathryn. i feel honoured.

I watched it from about five. I've cried loads and have a head ache now. Paris is a beautiful little girl. So sad those kids have lost their daddy.

Why on earth should the children not be there??????


There has been so much talk about if the children were his biological children but in my opinion they are his children in every sense of the word he has been with all of them since birth and by all accounts a very good parent in trying to shield them away from the media. Not so strange that he would ask them to wear masks when out in the public when he was worried that someone would try to take them from him.
i hope that they all stay with the grandmother and Diana Ross steps in when needed and that Debbie Rowe does as she has in the past and stay away.
Such a sad sad time for all the Jackson family.

I think the kids should have been there.
My Son was not quite 8 when my Mum died. I went along with what my MIL said, that he was too young to go.

To this day he say's it wasnt fair,he wanted to say cheerio to his Granny. He also said he felt left out of it.
There was also the big mystery of what went on at the funeral etc.

About a year later my SIL father died so I took my son along. He didnt know the person but I thought it would let him see what went on.

Has everyone forgotten that MJ was a filthy pervert that the world is best shut of.

I am sick to the back teeth of it all, and they cancelled one of my fav progs for it.

You dont know for sure if he was a filthy pervert.
How many are about though? All around us and we dont know about yet?

Annina, That may be your thoughts, but it was never proven in a court of law. Also his children cannot be classed as such,or do you include them as in "The Sins of the fathers are gifted on their Sons/Daughters".Its amazing how many people say things about others when they are dead (Knowing they cannot be Sued for it.).So why do it. He,s dead .End Of.**M**.Ps. and I did,nt like his type of Music.

Annina

I suggest you look on you tube and see exactly what Jordon is now saying.......As he has said it was all a lie

& i for 1 never believe any of what was said to be true

What's the link Julie?
