Paris asked to say something. The Jackson family did not force her to say anything. These children played with Michaels friends children so they are not so isolated like you think.They were isolated from the media circus and people like you speculating because you got a degree in psy.If you haven't evaluated these children you cannot predict what they are going through.People like you just want to have something to say because you and others just dont want Katherine to take care of those children.Joe Jackson and Katherine have been seperated for years and living in different houses for years. People come up with so much mess. Tramatic my X@@##!, your the tramatic episode.

For everything someone does in public there's always going to be some @$$hole who can't mind his own business and feels the need to give his own analysis of any possible repercussions that may arise from what that person did.
The girl wanted to say a few words about her dad, which is fantastic. I think it actually might have helped bring a little reality to the situation that is beyond any prior allegations and accusations - whether true or false, and showed that MJ was both human (despite not really looking that human) and a father, who his children are no longer with.

Child Psy,and others have been trying to get these children away from Michael for years and still trying to. They think they know whats best for the children. Now I see why he didn't let the media/others know about his children. They are his children no matter if you see black,white,and etc. in them.Hateful people in this world.

I agree with Rindy! His children are not as sheilded as you think, and if you ask me, it was a wonderful tribute to her father for what she did. She was her fathers biggest fan and because she wanted to pay tribute to him to show the world how much he ment to her was part of the healing process, stopping her from doing so would have been devistating to her if the family would have ignored her request. She was not thrust into the media light she said she wanted to talk, it was going to be Janet but Paris nugged her Aunt and said something, obviously this is was it, to talk. I think that the Media, psychologists and such around the world need to leave Micheal alone and give him peace and let his children live a normal life as they new it with their father. Stop all the speculations and making us, the fans, the people try and read more into these crazy aquisitions. It will not be the family or fans doing the damage to these children it will be you the Media and the psychologists and such just as it was done to Micheal if you continue. Let it be what it was and that would be the end of it. You make make me sick for being so shallow and looking at someones greiving process as "unnormal", who's to say what the greiving process is for someone other than yourself. Don't do to these children what you've done to Micheal.

If Michael Jackson's daughter decided it would help her to tell her father she loved him in this manner I can't see how that would be damaging. I think had she not have been able to participate as she felt necessary would have been more damaging to her. She would have to deal with the resentment she would feel later by not telling her dad how much she loved him. It was her way of telling the world that Michael was a great father and letting them know how much he meant to her. She's not being thrown into the media circus by expressing her feelings towards her Father at his memorial. I think it's somehow healing and allowing her to deal with her grief her own way. It must have meant alot to her to be able to say what she felt needed to be said so she could say goodbye to him in her own words and in her own way. I appluad the Jackson Family's courage for being so supportive to Paris even though someone will always have something negative to say no matter how genuine the gesture or act they perform. Way to go Jackson Family and know that I will miss Michael dearly, but never forget him.

I am not a doctor, but it is apparent to all that young Paris loved her father very much. What is wrong with a child expressing their emotions at a very emotional time? Closure is important especially to a child who will know longer have her adoring father with her. How about this, STOP analyzing the Jacksons, give them some peace, allow them to grieve and allow MJs fans to remember what a great individual he was. I celebrate the life of Michael Jackson, and his fans celebrated yesterday as well. And as Al Sharpton said, Michael wasn't a strange, he had to deal with strange. Cut him some slack. Please just let the information that is due from the toxicology report give the results and then the matter can be solved by the powers that be. Please let Michael finally rest in peace. With a strong belief in God, he will once more be reunited with his family and friends. RIP Michael, you will be missed and you are truly loved.

Do you know MJ's daughter to say she shouldn've spoken out?! Who made you GOD to judge this little girl?! I think it was brave and it was a good thing for her to speak out. She wanted the world to know the kind of FATHER she knew all of her life. I praise his family for allowing her to speak out. Her speaking out was probably more theraputic than you ever known. You "experts" pisses me off with some of the comments you make.

Ms, Blair, I have to disagree with your judgement in regards to Paris Jackson. I believe Mrs. Jackson(grandparent) of sound mind would have never allow her (granddaughter) in that type of situation. If she was asked and felt strong enough to deal with the publc. I would like to believe that was Paris's decision to do this was of her own adcordance. I would like to believe that the Jackson family talked to her, got her opioon and she was allowed to make the choice. The Jackson family (which I am not a fan of). Mrs Jackson (grandma) has those children best interest at heart. If Ms. Paris did not want to do this, it would not have happen. I do think that the family explained to Ms. Paris in full detail of what to expect as far as the fans and media goes
What might have happen, is when Ms. Paris saw all those fans and especially the media she was overwhelmed. I do believe they ask her once again and she answered YES. But you know as well as I, that once you hit that stage it's a different ball game. As neverous as she was, she did wonderful job of handling herself and presenting her father. I would have gotten neverous and possible pasted out myself, to see all those people for the first. I think she is strong and courgeous for what she had to do. If it has lefted a scar or lefted a terrible mark on her. Mama Jackson will make sure she receives the help she needs. Children these days are a lot more stronger and indenpend than when we were growing up. Sheltered

I don't think it was a bad judgement really. Paris wanted to express her love and loss in a few words at his service. Should her family have told her no?? How would THAT have affected her...to have her feelings and needs brushed aside?

Nonsense! Paris wanted to pay tribute to her father and who would want to stop her?
I have been to several funerals where children pay tribute to grandparents. parents, friends. They speak from their hearts and often begin to weep. It's all natural.
Some experts are saying she shouldn't because she's led an un-natural life?! I hope too many 'experts' don't comment on this to the kids.

I think it was a good idea to let Michael's daughter speak. I beleive it is a neccesary part of her grieving process. Forget the so called expert. I have a degree in phychology and I have lost my husband a very young age, some experience. Michael's passing has caused great pain in the hearts of his fans around the world, we have lost someone very special and important, not to mention the hugmugus loss for his children, family and friends. I loved the memorial for Michael, it was truely beautiful and loving just like MJ. He will be missed like no other. I wish and hope for him the peace and freedom like he never experience on earth. I celebrate his life and morn his early departure:((( My thoughts are with all you who loved and adored him.

You heartless idiots who are opposed to just everything -- you just need to give the Jackson family a "dam" break. It was a beautiful thing to watch Paris speak of her love for her father at such a time as this. My hat goes off to her -- to have the guts to stand before so many and give her dad such kudos, goes to show you that "Paris Jackson" is not as sheltered and "scary" as you would like to think she is. She is a strong and brave lil girl who loved her "daddy" and wasn't afraid to share it with the world. Shame on you for trying to make her display of affection for her daddy something harmful. What would have been harmful to her "normal" life as you say, would not to be allowed to express herself, to not be allowed to mourn her daddy but most of all, to not be allowed to say "out loud" how she felt about her daddy. When would have been an appropriate time. Oh, I know, she could express these feelings while going to therapy, becuase she was forced to suppress feelings and emotions. I keep the Jackson family in prayer and I will also pray that they are able to stay clear of people like yourself. Michael tried to protect his children and keep them out of harms way -- whyyyyyyyyyyyyy becuase of people like yourself - haters. Shame on you for not having anything better to write. The "old folks" used to say,if you can't say anything good, don't say anything. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Once again a "professional" has to jump onto the coat tails of Michael Jackson. The man can't even have a memorial service without controversy. It should make everyone reevaluate things, the media will take the most beautiful and simple words of a child and turn it into something ominous. I watched the service. She asked to speak. She did it very eloquently for an 11 year old child. I'm quite sure that she had no idea how many people were watching on television, so that didn't bother her. If she were not allowed to tell her father goodbye, that would have been much more tramatic. SO, quit trying to make more money off of the Jackson family by spouting "expert" opinions for which you have no direct information. Also, the more I see the children and see pictures of Michael at a young age, the more convinced I become that he is the biological father. Just look at Lionel Richie's daughter Nichole and even OJ's children, all very "caucasion" looking. MJ's kids have the same facial shape as their father (prior to surgery) and the boys have the same eyes and lips as their daddy.It really isn't important, he's their daddy in their hearts, I just find it interesting. And, I suppose as a fan, I'd love to think that his DNA has been passed on so that someday we might see his greatness continue to live.

I would have thought the Psychologist would have agreed to the speech given by Parish instead she blamed the Jackson family. I think it was a very good idea that she speak her mind and instead of blaming the family she should be putting the blame on the media,after all they were the ones that had condemned and crucified her father,she was not cut off from the rest of the world she was quite aware of every thing that was said about her dad so there is nothing wrong about speaking her mind and no one forced her to speak further more it is good that she had spoken her mind instead of being silent.I am not a psychologist but i am in a similar field of work and yes,i took some courses so that psychologist should have known that,that was the right thing to do.

It would have been more traumatic if she wanted to speak and they didn't let her because she's young. It broke my heart to hear that beautiful, sweet child express her love for her father. Despite what negative things people think about Michael Jackson, that fact is that he was apparently a wonderful father and there are three children who miss and love their father very much. Plus she's the daughter of one of the most famous people in the world so unfortunately she will not be able to avoid the spotlight, especially now.

Paris was not asked by any of the Jackson's family member or the president of the United States to tell the world how much she loves her dad therefore let the jackson's family rest from your criticism and inhuman talks. She had all right to give that speech no matter what you haertless people have to say. This little innocent child, all she knows that will never be erased from her head as long as she lives is Michel Jackson is her father.America is where freedom of speech exist and we from different countries and other continent know that here, even animals have freedom to do what they want like wise Princess Paris Jackson. Please leave the family alone and stop adding more grieve to what they are going through for God sake. You and all other people who hate Michel Jackson so much that can not retrospect to say just one good thing about him, God is going to reward you soon as you judge a man who is gone to rest so don't be suprise because you are not the judge. One thing i want you to know is to please leave the family alone no matter what.
