Michael Jackson’s two eldest kids, Prince Michael, 12, and 11-year-old Paris, joined the star-studded tribute to their father at last night’s Grammy Awards. MJ was honored with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award and a spectacular 3D performance featuring Smokey Robinson, Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Usher was enacted to recognize the achievements of the deceased King of Pop.
However, the best part of this tribute was the emotional acceptance speech by Prince as he collected the award on behalf of his father. Wearing a black suit with Jackson’s trademark red arm band, Prince managed to endear the crowd with his touching speech.
We are proud to be here to accept this award on behalf of our father, Michael Jackson. First of all we’d like to thank God for watching over us for the past seven months, and our grandma and grandpa for their love and support. We would also like to thank the fans. Our father loved you so much because you were always there for him. Our father was always concerned about the planet and humanity. Through his hard work and dedication he has helped many charities and donated to all of them. Through all of his song his message was simple: love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world. Thank you. We love you daddy.
Congratulations, Jacko! You will always live in our hearts.
