14 DAY TRIAL // Though several members of the Jackson family refused to participate in last night’s Michael Jackson tribute, Michael Forever, held in Cardiff, his children were there. Not only that, but they also paid touching tributes to their father.
Prince Michael, Blanket and Paris made an appearance on stage to introduce Beyonce, of whom they spoke in the most flattering terms.
While the boys were looking very handsome in their Michael-inspired outfits, it was Paris who stole the show by wearing a leather jacket that was an exact replica of the one her father wore in the famous “Thriller” video.
A photo of the three is attached to this article.
Prince also looked at his father’s videos for inspiration, choosing a plain black leather jacket, matched with a white shirt, just like those that Michael was so fond of.
Blanket, on the other hand, was the epitome of cuteness, rocking a black suit with a red shirt, and a red band on his arm in honor of his father.
“We’re very happy to be here on this special night to honor our father,” they told fans on stage. They were happy indeed: not a tear was shed for the cameras, making the entire tribute all about the music, Michael’s legacy.
Performers included, as we also informed you earlier today, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Jamie Foxx and many others.
Beyonce couldn’t be there in person because doctors have cautioned her the trip would be too much for her baby, so she performed via satellite – but still managed to put on the best performance of the night.
Aguilera too fared very well vocally, though her outfits were so disastrous that they diverted the attention from her solid performance onto her obvious weight gain.
Notably absent at the concert were Jermaine, Randy and Janet Jackson.
