I'm Roanne

Yes, I was one of the few millions watching Michael Jackson’s Memorial Service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles live via CNN.com. Well, few would be quite an understatement, as tributes were also conducted on other parts of the globe in commemoration of his life and legacy.

With all the moving speeches by Brooke Shields, Motown founder Berry Gordy and Pastor Lucious Smith and fervid performances by Jermaine Jackson and Usher amongst others, MJ’s daughter Paris Jackson truly melted everyone’s heart, including mine. It left me weeping to tears.

To quote, she said:

“Ever since I was born, daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say that I love him so much,”

Here’s the heartfelt video of Paris Jackson’s speech that made all of us cry and feel her grief.

 

If you missed the whole event, you can still watch it via CNN Live.
