Michael Jackson's Children Accept Singer's Lifetime Achievement Award

YES,MICHAEL'S{BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN] WERE FABULOUS. I AM SO SO SO GLAD THAT THEY ACCEPTED THIS AWARD FOR THEIR FANTASTIC DADDY;I WISH BLANKET WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO BUT MAYBE HE WAS NOT READY YET!!MICHAEL'S CHILDREN ARE WONDERFUL AND I AM SOOOOO SORRY THAT HAVE TO BE PUT THROUGH THIS HORRIBLE ORDEAL BECAUSE OF A MURDERER LIKE MURRAY!!!

oops, I meant to say the Grammys, not Emmys! Sorry!

I agree that this "tribute" was disappointing & insincere, in view of the incredible man they were supposed to be honoring & considering the incredible hype it received ! I wanted to see the entire video, that was so powerful in "This is It'. The message for the video & song were lost as the video was shown in bits & pieces, & the words were hard to understand. The image of the little girl saving the flower as the bulldozers came closer, was left out. That was ridiculous. It would've been awesome to see a bulldozer "come out" on the stage in 3 D , as it did in the movie.
I didn't like the artists up on stage, who didn't support Michael when he was alive, singing his intelligent, meaningful lyrics, while blocking the video! Who chose them as the close friends or admirers of Michael? Carrie Underwood?? They must've been chosen for the different singing styles, & not for anything remotely connected to Michael. Their voices weren't close to the caliber of Michael's. I'd have preferred & expected to see the entire video in 3 D with just Michael's voice singing & of course, the great man himself dancing in the foreground. That would've been amazing to see in 3 D!!
Where were the audience members' glasses? Were they handed out & some audience members refused to wear them? If so, that was a complete insult to the man, artist, genius, who could out sing, out dance & out sell any of them. It would also be an insult to his children & mother who were there in attendance.
What were the Emmy producers thinking when they created this weak, short "tribute' to the greatest entertainer & best selling artist? With all the good that Michael did for the music business & contributions to "We are the World", he was spotlighted for such a pitiful, short amount of time. For a lifetime achievement award, more should have been said about his contributions & accomplishments, instead of the short intro by Lionel Richie & the meager video montage.
Beyonce was heralded for breaking an Emmy record, but did some people forget that Michael broke a record first? Why wasn't that mentioned in the tribute, that Thriller outsold all other albums or all of the numerous non musical awards he won during his short lifetime? ? What a shame! The only part that wasn't a shame was the appearance of Michael's children, looking & sounding incredibly poised, mature & showing grace in light of their incredible tragedy. I'm 53 yrs old, lost my dad 7 months ago & can't imagine speaking in front of an audience. Michael would be so proud of his kids. I sincerely hope that Michael's fans keep his image, message, songs & dancing alive, as well as support his children in any move they make to follow in their fathers' footsteps.
I also agree with Dugger's that it was a shame & that Michael could not perform in his own country for his loyal fans here, because of trumped charges that *were* acquitted, the harsh judgments & tabloid fodder about everything he did, from his hair, face, clothes, home & even his being a father . He had more class, compassion, gentleness & generosity than all of the artists put together! As Prince said, his dad was all about "love". I'm really sad about this pathetic attempt by the Emmy's. Truly, a disappointment.

RIP MICHAEL JACKSON!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

Yes it is not untypical of the US to only honour its dead stars. For a whole twelve years before he died, Michael could not dare play live shows in the US (except Hawaii) without the fear of being either shot by some mad church going redneck, or ridiculed and attacked because of the various accusations of child abuse.

Why do they always give these awards out to those who have died. The award should have been given to him while MJ was alive to see how much appreciated all his contributions to the music industry. Where were these people when MJ needed them the most during his troubled periods of his life.

the grammys should have done a better job at that tribute.. i waited 2months to see a great tribute to the KIng Of Pop, n that was a total wast of time Academy. they hyped me up with the promos about it and when i watched it was sading...it's sad the man that sold more records the that whole crowd together, got a simple send-off on music's biggest night... The bet awards did a better job with only two days of his passing.

I thought the tribute was excellent. How sweet that his children were there to accept the award. Looks like Prince Michael and Paris are becoming very well behaved young adults. No doubt to how they were raised with all the love Michael had. Miss you as always RIP Michael.
