Video of Paris Katherine Jackson Last Words to Her “Daddy”, Michael Jackson:
2:38 PM - The Jackson Family closed the show with Marlon Jackson speaking, and a surprising heart felt goodbye from Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Katherine, saying: “I just want to say, ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. I just want to say I love him so much.“

1:48 PM - Jermaine Jackson sings – Smile (I just can’t stop the tears, and I’m not a Jermaine fan, but this is touching). Usher sings – Gone To Soon. Usher touches the casket as his sings. (Most of the songs have been slow and sad, no dancing, yet. But still a great memorial.)
1:21 PM - Jennifer Hudson Sings the Theme From Willy – Will You Be There; John Mayer Guitar Tribute – Human Nature; Brooke Shields brings water to my eyes recalling memories of Michael Jackson, and their childhood. They spent countless hours making each other laugh.
1:09 PM -Magic Johnson’s greatest moment is learning that Michael Jackson loved Kentucky Fried Chicken. (I’m shocked, too).
1:09 PM - Stevie Wonder Sings – I Never Thought You Leave In Summer. Now for real I am about to cry. This tribute is so beautiful.
12:28 PM – Mariah Carey Sings – I’ll Be There, Queen Latifah Reads Poetic Words, Lionel Richie Sings – Jesus Is Love
12:28 PM – Michael Jackson casket enters as choir sings Going to See the King
12:13 PM – Jennifer Hudson comes out hiding to show her love for Michael Jackson, and in the process reveals her baby bump publicly for the first time.

My favorite parts was the ending. When his daughter start talking, I lost it. I think they did a great job. I enjoyed it so much more than the BET awards. I wish BET could have put something together worthy of the King.
