Sources tell ET that Blanket was set to take the stage with his siblings, but at the last moment, became "overwhelmed" and opted to hang backstage.
Prince, who apparently wrote his own speech said, "Through all his songs, his message was simple -- love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world."
Paris simply said, "We love you, daddy."
After the ceremony, the kids attended a post-Grammy celebratory dinner where sources say Prince didn't let the Grammy out of his sight!
Awww, these kids break my heart!

What Paris said was Daddy was suppose to
sing tonight and he was last year..that
is when she said "I love you daddy.."
Meanwhile daddy was upstairs the day he
died and had injected himself with a sleeping drug..It is amazing how Dr. Murray is still not arrested for that
God bless those kids.
I wasn't a MJ fan, but the thing that I did admire about him was how hard he worked to keep his children away from the media glarelight. It seems terribly sad to me that as soon as he dies, his family desides that making a profit off of his kids is more important than upholding the values MJ set for his children. They shouldn't have been on that stage last night. It was sad to see them exploited.
Joe will have them performing 50 shows a week in Vegas any day now.
Amazing how the Jackson use those kids.
understandable, but WHY were the cousins up there-its not about them
At this very moment, I so wish Debbie Rowe or Diana Ross had taken those children. When Michael was alive, you hardly saw those kids. Now that he's dead his greedy, self-entitled dysfunctional family is exploiting his children, his life & death, his memories and all things good about him for the money & the fame...they all once had. I think it's pathetic that Jermaine chooses to push his kids out there, everytime Michael's children appear. This family is totally disgusting and ought to be ashamed of themselves for behaving like the uncivilized creatures Michael said they were. Katherine & Joe are the epitome of stupidity and greed...at anyone's expense, including their dead son & his children!!!
Get off the grandparents backs..they didn't put a gun to the kids head and told them they had to say a speech. That is a GREAT honor to receive the award on the behalf of their father. obviously they wanted to do it if they wrote the speech themselves and blanket had the OPTION of staying backstage. Stop making something its not.Micheal Jackson was protective because he was one of the most famous people ever and he was probably afraid that someone would try to take his kids for money but now that they don't have that money they are just average kids now..still safe even without the mask..oh look they are still a live, health, and HAPPY! who would have thought?
You stupid idiot, those were not Jermaine's kids but were Tito's kids. Per CNN, they accompanied Prince and Paris on the stage because they were nervous and asked their cousins to come up on the stage. These kids asked to go to the Grammy's and accept the award on their late father's behalf. Katherine did not want them to go but conceded to their wishes. If you are going to post a comment, do a little research and get your facts straight first.
It looked to me like the cousins were there for support, just like 4:32 said. I think it's a good thing they accepted the award on behalf of their father. It's cathartic for them to be allowed to be social. It would have been wrong for anyone else to accept it.
Cute and amazing kids.
Jackson family wastes no time to exploit the children. Jacksons are losers and leeches. No wonder Michael didn't want to have anything to do with his family.
Katherine didn't take good care of the kids at all. Paris used to dress up as a pretty girl when she was with Michael. Now she looks haggard with glasses and weight gain. Michael would never let Paris wear ugly glasses and dress bad clothes. Prince gained some weight too. Grandma is a cheapskate feeding them cheap bad food so they both gained weight.
First of all Michael did not inject himself with anything! Murray did and he should be in jail! There is nothing wrong with the way they dressed,they got their daddy's dress style. They are beautiful children they wanted to be there and accept the award on behalf of their dad. Noone forced them to go,their cousins were there for support and they stood out of the way. People need to stop beleving the media lies about the Jackson family. The are not as bad as the trashy makes them out to be!
Though a little nervous Paris and Prince did a beautiful job accepting the award on behalf of their dad. Who better to accept the "Lifetime Acheivement Award" for Michael than his kids anyway? You can see that Michael raised them with such dignity and grace. Beautiful!
You all fools are wrong! Paris, Prince and Blanket have a right to do whatever they want. Janet Jackson is the one who will take care of them and will raise them as a family for her brother Michael Jackson duh! If I won a million dollar lottery then I will give it to the kids and support them. The Jackons's kids can choose what they want for their future and I am sure they will become an entertainer someday! My hearts and love goes out to those Jackson's kids! Have faith and don't give up!
All this criticism about the kids being exploited is ridiculous. Sooner or later, the kids want to be out and about just like the other kids of the family are. And not hiding all the time. A Jackson heir is a Jackson heir regardless of who's kid they are. I don't know why people think that some can do something to MJ kid and the same want happen to the other children of the Jackson family. Regardless, I thinks its great to see them without the masks and scarves covering their faces. How old do they have to be before they can be seen by the public. As they get older, they are not going to want to walk around with their faces covered up anymore. And their connection into the music/acting industry is inevitable. The family is part of the music/movie industry. So what better way to start getting them exposure without being afraid of people. They look to be healthy and well provided for. Look at Will and Jada Smith children. I guess they are being exploited too. So sooner or later MJ children will want to get their feet wet in the music/acting business. They have desires just like any other children. They are not little babies anymore. Stop verbally assassinating this family with your comments. Stop with the crap about the Jackson family doing this and that to MJ kids. Sorry that MJ is no longer here to continue to share himself and life with his kid, but at least the family is there for them. It was a great loss to the kids and the family. The Jacksons are human beings just like any other person that walks on this earth and they too make mistakes, have problems, etc. Have you made any lately, or are you so perfect that you can't see your own mistakes and problems in your own life. So for goodness sake get a darn life and leave this family and the children alone. Peace out!!!!!
