Video: Michael Jackson's Daughter Says Goodbye

#

Here's a clip of the most heartbreaking moment from Michael Jackson's public memorial yesterday.

MJ's only daughter, Paris Katherine, 11, stepped up on stage to say goodbye to her dad, surrounded by the rest of the Jackson family.

"I just want to say ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine," she said through tears. "And I just want to say I love him so much."

Paris' aunt, Janet Jackson, then took the broken girl into her arms and ushered her off stage.

I know a lot of people felt like Paris was being pimped out, but I really felt like she wanted to speak. Either way it was so hard to watch, but I think it made Michael seem a little bit more human to the outside world.

Was Paris' speech planned or spur of the moment?
