"Thank you, we love you daddy"

MICHAEL JACKSON's children gave an emotional tribute to their father at the Grammys as they collected his Lifetime Achievement award and revealed he was due to perform at the show.

PRINCE, 12, and PARIS, 11, both looked like little stars as they collected the gong and told the world how they missed their father.
Paris said: "Daddy was supposed to be here. Daddy was going to perform this year but couldn't.

"Thank you, we love you daddy."

Prince also thanked fans, telling them their father's message was simply love.
He said: "We will continue to spread his message and help the world. We love you daddy."

Legendary SMOKEY ROBINSON joined forces with CELINE DION, JENNIFER HUDSON, USHER and CARRIE UNDERWOOD to perform a touching tribute in honour of the King of Pop.

As the stars belted out No1 hit Earth Song, a 3-D video was also played to the audience. The footage, produced by Michael before he died, was intended to be used during his This Is It tour.

There were several rumours Michael's father JOE JACKSON was not happy his grandchildren were accepting the Grammy, but he released a statement to the contrary to CNN.

Joe said: "There has been some recent rumours that I am displeased with the idea that Michael's children are accepting the award on my son's behalf.

"On the contrary, I am very proud of my grandchildren. KATHERINE (his wife) and I are the ones who initiated their participation."

Elsewhere at the top music show BEYONCE won six awards but young country star TAYLOR SWIFT walked away with the best album prize for Fearless.

2. Why did you choose this text?
I’ve chosen this text, because Michael Jackson is a legend. The Grammys took place one day before I read this article. I read the title: “Thank you, we love you daddy” and I was very curious, because I remembered his children during the memorial service speaking emotional words to the audience and their daddy. So I wondered what they said during their tribute during the Grammys
