Janet Pays Tribute To Michael At The BET Awards
Posted on Mon Jun 29, 2009 06:29 AM PDT
A teary Janet Jackson spoke to the world last night at the BET Awards in LA, saying:
- "I would just like to say that 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 your love; thank you for all your support. We miss him so much."
She also told the audience: "My entire family wanted to be here tonight, but it was just too painful so they elected me to speak with all of you."
Well, apparently it wasn't so painful for daddy Joe Jackson because he attended the awards show and basked in the spotlight, giving every media outlet who asked, an interview on the red carpet.
Here's what Joe told CNN:
Is Michael's father enjoying this attention just a bit too much???

Wow, somehow he seems to see his son only as a star. Just managing the fans and the business eh Joe? Your SON DIED BECAUSE YOU WERE A HORRIBLE FATHER... he drowned in drugs and despair because he never reovered from YOUR ABUSE! You taught him fear and loathing.
A good FATHER teaches their children love, support, hope and a belief in a higher power.
Its true Joe Jackson BASKED in michael's lime light that soulless dirt bag was smiling and laughing! there was onlt 1 performer who sent her well wishes to Katherine and that was the woman from the View! Everyone else was just kissing J.J's sorry unloving ass!! WHAT A DIRT BAG!! Ummm Hello!! Your son is DEAD!! ASS WIPE!
What an odd reaction to your son dying.
joseph jackson you can't burn in Hell soon enough for me.
The buzzards are circling the mansion. Soon there will be family fighting about the $$$ and who gets (has to take) the kiddies.
Sad life and sad death.
Fame isn't that fantastic!!!
POLAND:)
BEAUTIFUL performance in MJ's honor!
RIP Michael.
Strength to his family and dear children.
Neither Janet or Joe should have appeared at those awards. It is much too soon and just tasteless.
Wow! I still cant believe hes gone. Hes been in so much pain for over 10 years. Now he has moonwalked to heaven. May Mister Michael Jackson rest in peace.

Joe Jackson is horrible and needs to keep his mouth shut. I don't understand why his family doesn't do something about him...forbid him to speak or go anywhere near a camera for at least a few months. I also hope MJs siblings watch over Mrs. Jackson if she gets permanent custody of the children to be sure Joe doesn't physically or emotionally hurt them like he did to his own kids.
that bet special was GARBAGE!! celeb egos everywhere - not inclusive - garbage .. not in the spirit of MJ - he would have wanted EVERY NATIONALITY there and loving on him .. this was a hot ghetto mess - true embarrassment
joe jackson is a bad person ur son just die and u smile and laugh like u just won the lottery
You will always shine mj watch out jj the moon is darkening. Let your son be remember.
