"Where You Are The Celebrity"
Janet Jackson – in her first public appearance since her brother’s shocking death – memorialised him at the BET awards as her beloved sibling and family member, eliciting tears as she vowed his memory would live forever.
“To you Michael is an icon,” said Jackson, holding back tears at the Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards.
“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 of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much, thank you so much.”
Afterward, Ne-Yo and host Jamie Foxx performed a sombre version of the Jackson 5 classic I’ll Be There, as photos of Jackson flashed across the screen.
I adore Janet Jackson so her leaving the music business will definitely be a huge loss. Their family has had a tremendous influence on music from ever since I can recall.
This was very sad, may god continue to bless the family & all the children
