Paris Jackson's Tearful Speech About Her Father

Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson's public memorial service has concluded, and for something that was put together in less than three days, it was truly one of the most emotional tributes we've ever seen.

The most emotional part of the memorial came at the end when Michael's daughter Paris took the mic for an unplanned speech.

With tears in her eyes, Paris said, "Ever since I was born, my Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine and I just want to say I love him so much."

Barely able to finish her sentence, she then hugged Janet Jackson and the entire family held each other for a moment on stage. It was a remarkably humanizing moment, and very difficult to watch. Check out a clip of her special moment below...

I have been a MJ fan every since I saw him on TV singing. All my life I have bought his songs, danced to them, argued on his behalf and even tried to reach him on the phone once to hear his voice and thank him for the gifts he gave us. No matter what his fans do or no matter how much his fans loved him, none of us had the power to keep him out of the trouble he got into with the legal system. I personally would lead anyone to take a look at themselves inside out and ask themselves some hard questions from within with only true answers emerging. We must all endure our trials as he did. I would never believe either in death or when alive that he was guilty of anything except being a gift to the world period. The powers that be are strong and mighty a far as the legal system and I believe justice prevailed when he was found not guilty and acquitted. For that reason alone the truth of the matter is that there are leeches out there who preyed on his vulnerability and sadly Michael wanting to be loved and widely accepted by all got slammed dunked for being "TOO KIND", that was his only crime. I am no phoney I have always loved Michael so prayer was all I could ever do for him and also my continued love and support as one of his many fans. I loved him either way you slice it. Just let him rest in peace!

She seemed more alert to her surroundings during the whole service...more than her brother did. And yes, "unklscrufy" where were MJ so called fans...I admit I was conflicted regarding the ugly accusations, but my heart is truly breaking right now and wish he had gotten the help he so desperately needed. So Sad!

Where were all you so-called fans the day before Michael died? Where were you a week before or a month before? How were you celebrating his life since he supposedly meant so much to you? People don't have to launch "comeback" tours if their fans are still supporting them. And apparently his fans weren't.

How brave of her to hold her head high in the midst of all this craziness. How admirable to stand up there and speak out on her father's behalf. You can never know what their family life was like.

i think personally, Michael Jackson faked his death to re start a new life and stuff.

Now Mickael Jackson is more alive than a month ago. He was like a dove of peace. Forgive us, Mickael.

Paris! you make me feel like crying. Your dad was indeed one of the greatest entertainers/performers the world have ever known. As a fan of such an icon, I join with the rest of the world to mourn and celebrate his historic life as a perfomer. Rest in peace Wacko Jacko.
