During Tuesday's memorial service, Michael Jackson's daughter, 11-year-old Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, went from a sheltered child to a worldwide celebrity. Her tearful speech, during which she remembered "the best father you could ever imagine," eclipsed every other appearance at the tribute, became the most moving moment of the day.
"It touched me," Simone Sam told MTV News. "It made me cry at the end. When his daughter, Paris, spoke, I cried."
Another Jackson fan, Stephanie Colache, said she "cried like a little baby throughout the whole thing."
"I thought it was phenomenal," she said. "It was really personal to me. I know the public has not seen [Paris] at all, and it was just amazing. To me, I always thought of him as a music legend, not so much as a father, and after seeing Paris, I thought that he was such a father figure for many fathers around here, and seeing how loving she was, I thought he was a great father."
Stephanie Tsang couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by Paris' loss. "When the daughter started crying and hugged Janet Jackson, that was really touching," she said. "I thought it was really brave of her not only to do that in front of her family and the whole Staples Center, but the world as well. I was really sad for her, 'cause her dad was a great person."
"When Janet was telling little Paris to 'Speak up, go ahead, speak up' and Paris went and told the world how she felt about her father's death, [that really moved me]," said Brittany, another Jackson fan. "I felt it was a little bit pressured, maybe, because she was kept out of the spotlight, but it was still nice for the daughter to voice how she felt about the situation and made him a bit more real as a father."
Caleb Pope said the moment changed how he viewed Jackson. "How his daughter came in at the end, I thought it was touching," he said. "At first, I thought it was really emotional. Thinking that he was a father and not only was he a good father, he was a great father — I thought that really touched the hearts of the people. I think they saw he was a good person."
