If you missed the Grammys last night, then you missed the 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson. Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Usher and Carrie Underwood all performed MJ’s “Earth Song.” According to Prince and Paris speech, if their father was still living, he would have performed last night.

Jackson’s kids came on stage to accept their father’s award along with their cousins. It’s nice to see that these kids are able to have somewhat of a normal childhood.

  • Aunt Esther-don’t make me pop u wit my bible!

    Such well behaved children…Live Forever MJ!!!

  • Hannibal

    THE TRIBUTE WASN’T ANY BETTER THAN ANY OTHERS

  • UrHeinessDaQueen

    J-hud’s voice was amazing,Celine Dion killing it as usual & Carrie Underwood sounded great too. Usher disappointed me. I loved how MJ son spoke so well & mature.Paris sounded sweet & seemed shy.

  • Fizzoni

    None of the singers could top MJ’s voice except
    J-Hud

  • STEFANY

    That’s f-up Michael had to die to get a tribute. America so hypocritical in that way, we only appreciate someone after they’re dead..So, the Grammy’s can stick their tribute up their @ss!

  • Hannibal

    THEY LOOK MORE LIKE MILEY CYRUS’ SIBLINGS, THAN MJ’S CHILDREN….

    Gotta respect the fact that his kids were the only ones to thank God all night

  • Dirty Diana…Let Me Be ♪

    Jhud had the strongest voice there. That song isn’t the easiest song to sing. I was expecting a whole lot more from this tribute and i’m still waiting for a really special tribute. Maybe if Jermaine’s tribute concert takes place we will finally have something to talk about but it’s Jermaine so i’m not putting my head on a block and sit around and wait for it.

    I really wish those kids looked more like Michael. Blanket definitely has his big bright eyes.

    Love you MJ ♥

  • Tiffany Drake

    I loved it but I thought it could have been bigger. I just feel like Michael deserved more than that. But it was nice.

  • RoyBoy

    The tribute was great. It could’ve been better but it was good.

    His children are so adorable and well groomed.

    You can tell how they talk about Michael that he cared for them SO much.

    Prince was very mature and well spoken. Paris was as well but seemed a little shy which is totally understandable.

    Those are Michael’s children… They all have his eyes and Prince and Blanket has Mike’s old nose when he was younger.

  • daahlingnikki

    Sadly I must agree with Hannibal…Even though J-Hud and Celine held their own but Usher was disappointing…It was nice to see Prince and Paris again…and it showed that no matter what the world thought about MJ…he was obviously an excellent daddy and those kids love and miss him enormously…Made me tear up when he was speaking…

  • B3 Fearless

    I got a little teary eyed as well. I wish there had been more, but it was a nice tribute.

    Blanket definitely looks the most like his father.

    The kids were very well mannered and articulate. MJ obviously did a good job.

  • B3 Fearless

    Idk what Usher was doing? I also think he 4got the words and I had to keep from laughing when he got on his knees. I was like, “Come on Ush. What are you doing?!”

  • lala

    I loved the tribute. Better than some of the ones I saw, like Janet’s, ugh. Usher I expected better, everyone else was great. What exactly are you guys looking for in a tribute? It was great what more do you want, for all the singers in the world to sing every last song he ever wrote? I wish it was longer but other than that it was great, stop whining.

  • http://customcalendars4u2.com Taisha from Chicago!

    The children look great and sound like they are being well taken care of and getting all the emotional support they need from their family, but it’s still sad that Michael hated himself so much that he had no BIOLOGICAL children of his own. customcalendars4u2.com

  • Jazz

    The kids looked and did Great. I’m proud of them.

    The tribute was Nice but that damn 3D thing hurt my eyes I had a headache all night.

    Anyways you can tell MJ did a good job on his kids. Their mature and extremely well mannered. Paris is so sweet and prince is such a mature young man. I wish all 3 of them well.

    R.I.P MJ!

    Damn shame Michael isn’t the Biological Father… Them kids are WHITE and don’t look like they have any BLACK in them whatsoever…

    Regardless, he raised them and they call him Daddy… They seem like good kids and I like them :-)

    WRONG!!! Ask Maury…

    The oldest one looks like he’s kin to that wizard… Ummm, Harry Potter…

    The daughter is 110% white without a doubt and looks just like that wench Debbie Rowe and the little one, he’s precious & innocent and I can’t call it, but he don’t no Jackson in him either… SMH

    They were raised in a loving home and that’s all that matters…

    *whispering*
    But Michael is NOT the father of those children… God bless his soul and may he rest in peace…

  • Gimmeabreak78

    JHud’s voice is amazing! I wish the the tribute was longer. It looked terrible if you weren’t wearing 3D glasses to me.

  • Love

    It was a beautiful tribute and His kids did a great job. I’m really starting to like them they seem so mature and sweet. I agree with those who say he did a great job with raising them.

    @seriously?

    Lmao! I agree. The jacksons been feeding them that soul food. They livin good. LOL!

  • darealwifey

    The tribute was okay. That was one of my fav MJ songs they did. Anyway, the kids are cute, and that little one, especially is MJ all day. He looks JUST LIKE Mike. I also think the other kids resemble Mike a little, but not like that little one. The little one is mos’ def’ Little Mike. That’s MJ’s blood right there.

  • Love

    People need to let the paternity ish GO NOW. If they his they his, if there not so what? He loved them and cared for them.

    I’d rather live in a house with a parent who loves me and cares for me but are not my biological parent. Then to be abused and mistreated by my own flesh and blood.

    You… know how MICHAEL was treated himself as a child. SMH

  • GETUROWN!!

    Michael was the greatest to ever do it, he paved the way and wrote the manuscript for all these fools. He pioneered in marketing for musicians and set the standards for great performances. DAMN RIGHT he deserved better. Any one worried about his childrens parentage should go and figure out how to leave your children with half a BILLION dollars biological or otherwise.

  • Tam Tam

    They did an amazing job! Michael would be proud!

  • pat

    enjoyed vma’s tribute much more…but was good to see his kids salute him

  • I Stay on 121st Down The Street

    @Taisha from Chicago! blanket is the only biological child….his mom is norwegien(smh can’t spell,lol)

  • GotYou

    All these people talking about those aren’t Michael’s kids. Get over it. Those are his children biological or otherwise. Those children had love and were taken care of. How many of you can say that about the biological folks that raised you?

    So old school to think you can look at someone and tell if they’re someone’s child or not. You sound like an old great grandma trying to defend one of her grandchildren against the paternity of a child, “It don’t look like us.” Get over it.

    Biological or not they were his children and Michael cared for a lot of other children through his visiting orphanages and donating countless millions. He paved the way for the Angelina’s and Brad’s of this world to come out of their celebrity pockets.

    figure out how to leave your children with half a BILLION dollars
    ________________________________________

    @GETUROWN!!

    half a BILLION dollars in a House FULL of weirdos, no normalcy or the ability to live like a regular human being whatsoever, EVERYONE close to you is interested in you for financial reasons AND you don’t know who your real parents are…

    You can keep that money and give me peace of mind and normalcy ANY day of the week…

  • The Brown Hornet

    Blanket looks like Gomez Adams…

  • WhyArePeopleSoEvil?

    I get so tired of the double standards that people pushed upon Michael. He is not here today for his attempts to escape the IGNORANCE that I’m seeing on this board. I actually refused to read comments at first because I knew the same crap that destroyed his spirit would be going on here.

    Why don’t people scold and give Lionel Ritchie a hard time about the child he adopted and the fact that she has such a small fraction of black in her that it isn’t visible? Why do people insist that those aren’t his kids? Yes, they may look very Anglo, but does that mean they aren’t his? Are you so evil that you don’t see the resemblence of the older one and Michael – including the oversized hands? What is wrong with people and why are they so evil?

    All your droning about whether those are Michaels biological kids don’t mean a hill of beans. You are NOBODY within their world – and probably your own. You sit behind a piece of plastic and wires, throwing mud and making negative comments. I pray that you are not living in a glass house.

    Did you guys learn nothing from Michael’s death and what drove him to dumb himself? It was people like you. But I bet you sit in the mirror and walk down the street all justified and righteous don’t you. You are pitiful!

  • brooklyn kid

    God Bless them, it’s tough loosing a parent at such a young age. Those are Micheal’s children, the eyes don’t lie. But I could care less, when they call their father Michael, “daddy”, I mean so sweet – they loved their Dad unconditionally and I am so glad that Michael finally received that love he so deserved. Michael loved his children very much and I think the Jackson clan is doing a great job on MJ’s behalf. I wish Michael was never killed by that negligent airhead Dr. Murray, but MJ is in God’s hands now, teaching the angels to MoonWalk. Smooches, RIP Michael Jackson.

  • tj

    Anybody who thinks those children are biologically his is a fool!!!!! Genetics are not altered by plastic surgery. Come on people. That said I see Paris being the new Paris Hilton in 5 years.
    And my big thing was why did we need Tito’s children on stage too????

  • janet

    Their hairstyles remind me of Michael:

    Prince – his hair reminds me of when Michael performed “Dangerous” on MTV Awards

    Paris- when Michael finally straighten his hair

    Blanket- his hair looks “In the Closet” look

  • smiley

    The contribute was really nice…Prince he really did speak well of his father it was a very touching speech!!!

  • p

    i think that the BET Awards tribute to MJ was the best one i seen….and yes we should have paid tribute to this man while he was alive for his contributions to music

  • Louisiana Hot Gyrl

    Aww look @ Lil Blanket..

  • Louisiana Hot Gyrl

    MTV Tribute to MJ was the best imo

  • Dirty Diana…Let Me Be ♪

    @ WhyArePeopleSoEvil? Amen to that

    @ P…..WHAT?? BET awards the best? :-O

  • Sherral19

    Michael did a fantastic job raising his kids, they are maturing fast and they are adorable!

  • The Demise of Grace

    That tribute was beautiful! Michael was the GREATEST EVER! PERIOD!

  • Eddie

    That is cool for the award.

  • lexi

    they’re beautiful kids. paris is so pretty and prince is so poised. i wish the nothing but good in life

    blanket is adorable! look at them doe eyes!

    the paternity talk is unnecessary, michael was their father.

  • ejdollaz

    too bad those aint mikes kids.lol whats da hell is wrong wit michael?

    anyway…

    Pinks face is allitle off, but I’d beast f^ck dat white chic like u never seen before. She gots a BOMB body dat i like.

  • F@ckChocolate

    Are they mixed?

  • Breed

    I love Michael and that tribute was awesome. Especially Jennifer, Celine and Usher. They did a good job as well as they can going up against King Michael. And those children are sooooooooo adorable and has Michael’s features. Mainly the nose, Prince nose has grown with him and he is such a cute little boy. Blanket is definitely a MINI Michael. Bless those children.

  • HEY YALL

    Those kids look like MJ. Not so much the youngest one but the older two. OMG! The tribute was awkward. They should of had one person doing one song each. It was lacking because they didn’t perform. They stood and sang and none of them sounded close to MJ but I guess they tried. What they need to do is get Neyo, Chris brown, Ginuwine etc. Artist that can imitate in the best way instead of just standing around singing.

  • oh well

    Prince II looks the most like Michael, hey yall. Michael raised those children therefore they are his. Michael wanted to have children by a White woman so they would look a certain way. If his children looked like typical biracial children, people would careless.

  • vee

    lmao@they look like MJ oh please no they don’t cut the sh!t either way i missed the tribute but i’m sure it was good

  • Lol

    at matt getting all moist over pink being moist!

  • love

    I don’t care if those are his real kids or not, he’s been their daddy from the beginning, and that’s who they know as daddy. I still cant believe MJ is gone, I’m not over it, and I don’t think I will ever get over it. It just hurts to see that when he was alive, people made him go through hell, but now that he’s gone, they are trying to remember him.

    Not enough tribute, or what people are trying to do now, will ever compensate for what they made MJ go through, he went thru hell. MJ, I’ve always been your fan, thru everything, bcos I saw something special that was beyond what people said or thought. I wish you were here to see how much your true fans cared so much about you, but the world didn’t allow you to see it, and that’s the wicked world we live in. R.I.P MJ

  • brandimus

    the VMA’s last year was hands down the best MJ tribute. I mean Janet performed along side him in Scream. And then all the world’s best dancers were killin it… the Grammy’s Tribute was subtle and gentle like the MJ we never knew

  • Diamond

    Sad

  • Bey-nonsense

    Overall the reason the grammys didn’t get a 0 out of 10 is because of Mike kids and Lady Gaga. (I love her. She need to stop being a pushover for Bey-nonsense though. She needs to see that Beyaki is using her shine and that Bey-whack-say is a spotlight hog.)

    Idk what Usher was doing? I also think he 4got the words and I had to keep from laughing when he got on his knees. I was like, “Come on Ush. What are you doing?!”
    ______________________________________________

    lol I was so embarrassed for him I covered my face like ooooookay.

  • LOVELY_1

    IM SORRY BUT I JUST DONT SEE HOW THOSE KIDS ARE HIS….where is the nappy hair?someone tell me>?

  • Kanaan

    What is soooooooo funny about all these comments — MOST OF YOU DON’T KNOW WHO YOUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER IS!!!!!!!

    Many women lie or do not know who impregnanted them these days and it has been happening since the beginning of time. So unless you DNA proof that your father is your father, SHUT THE HELP UP!!!

  • Ms. K. Rock

    That lil gurl is gettin pretty fond of the limelight, she did NOT have to be the last one on the mic….lol.

  • melb2009

    MJ 4 evssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!

  • Realist

    The Tribute could’ve been WAY better. I was somewhat disappointed bc MJ left a great legacy. And Paris looked so Beautiful and she looked just like her father. The children are all beautiful!

  • lala

    You people are really ignorant. Just because the kids don’t “look” black, don’t mean they’re not MJ’s kids. People are mixed and can look more like one race than the other you know. I have a kid in my classroom whose Asian and Spanish. To look at her you wouldn’t think she was Spanish because she looks more Asian, but she is Spanish. The comments people make on here about “well they don’t look like this that or the other” shows how truly ignorant and dumb you are. So just do us a favor and keep your mouth shut please.

  • !!!!!

    THE KIDS LOOK CUTE AND THE TRIBUTE WAS REAL NICE.

  • MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE KING OF MUSIC NOW THAT HE IS GONE JUST LOOK AT HOW DAMAGED THE INDUSTRY IS

    THE AMERICAN MEDIA IS FULL OF CRAP AND FOR THE LOVE OF MUSIC MICHAEL YOU WERE TREATED POORLY BY HUMANS BUT DON’T WORRY BECAUSE YOU ARE IN GOD’S HANDS NOW.

    P.S. ALL OF MICHAEL’S CHILDREN ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST AS MUCH AS MICHAEL WAS.

  • JUDY

    Blanket looks like he has real Jackson blood running through his veins…….just sayin.

  • JUDY

    All of the children are his because he claimed them.

  • NWA

    PRINCE IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE MICHAEL’S GAY PLASTIC SURGEON.

  • p

    @ Dirty Diana…Let Me Be ♪

    bet did a hell of a job compared to this….think about it…..the grammys had 6 months to try and didnt do very good i mean come on, the man (despite what he was accused of) deserved more than one song for the many contributions he made to music

  • Bohwe

    Blanket’s mom isn’t norwegian. That was Pia Bhatti mom that people are talking about. MJ said in an interview that Blanket’s mom was black, and when Bashier asked how when Blanket looked white, MJ said that blacks come in all colors that is why we were called colored. And someone posted pictures of Blanket and a young MJ , and one with Blanket with an afro, that boy is MJs.The funny thing about this, is that knowing MJ those kids probably know more about black/African history than the average black american kid.

    3T were there because they were close to MJ.

    Personally, I feel that MJ deserved a tribute show where it’s just about him. As much as he did for music and pop culture, he deserves better.

    People hating on the tributes, well we are comparing this to MJ performances, and that’s not fair, you can’t compare the King to his court. It’s impossible.

  • HaleyB

    Who cares what color the children are? As you can tell how the children re-act when they mention MJ’s name, their father, how emotional they get. He must have been an awesome dad. I’m so sick of this world always talking about color, LOVE has no color.

  • AHA! AHAHA!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AHA!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHSHADDAAAAP!!!!

    LMAO. Anyone who thinks Michael Jackson’s natural DNA has anything to do with the conception of these children is soft as s h * t.

  • Chief Hater

    @Bohwe
    I sgree that those kids probably know more African/African American history than the average black kid. Mike was no dummy!!!

    The tributes stink period! Mike deserves his OWN tribute show.

    As far as Blanket his mama could be white despite what Mike said. Remember in the same interview he said he had a relationship with the mother and then said it a surrogate. Mike probably wanted to protect the mother so he may not have been totally honest. If Blanket’s biological mother is white so what!! I 100% believe Mike is his biological father.

    Not saying Omer is Mike’s kid but Blanket looks a lot like Omer and it’s more than just the hair. I have seen baby pics of Omer and he Blanket looks so much alike it’s scary!

    In the end Mike was their dad, he loved them unconditionally and it looks like he was a GREAT father. My heart hurts because of their loss.

  • Rihanna’s sharp n witchy fingernails took the oath-Mariah’sconcertlastnightwasGREAT!

    I have biracial family who looks more white- than black and then I have some that looks more black than white. It’s a toss up and many phenotypes show through. The same with black folks- we can have all shades of children/family. I agree with Chief, Mike was very black and into black struggles, politics, history.

  • LOVELY_1

    I dont care how ignorant you want to claim I am…it is just a matter of a opinion and I dont think those are his kids.I beleive he was a wonderful father but….THEM AINT HIS KIDS IS ALL IM SAYIN….POINT BLANK.

  • Lee Lee

    Sick of these dam white kids already…Dam shame MJ didn’t think he was beautiful enough to have his own “REAL CHILDREN.”

  • …YUP!

    and btw Blanket is not white at all. Its very obvious, he’s most likely mixed with black and some kind of Spanish, Latoya has even said that Michael told her he was spanish.
