Jackson Family pays tribute to Michael at 2009 BET Awards



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Top black performers paid high tribute to fallen pop star Michael Jackson at Sunday's BET Awards where his sister Janet Jackson and father Joe Jackson made their first public appearances since the singer's death.

The show's most moving moment came in a final tribute when Janet, a pop star in her own right, took the stage to thank the audience for turning out to honor her dead brother.

"To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family, and he will forever live in all of our hearts," said Jackson, her voice choking as she held back tears. "On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support, we miss him so much."

  1. I knew Jamie Foxx was talented, but I had no idea he was so hateful. The comment made that "He was theirs, and they shared him with everybody else" was embarrassing and racially discordant. I'm I left to feel that Michaels music was never intended for my ears? In that same train of logic I'd like to ask Jamie Foxx to please share President Obama with me as well.

    Thanks in advance.
