Picture of Michael Jackson the father emerges

July 11, 2009 by Alex Bellamy 2 Comments

Of all the images of Michael Jackson, the one that appeared to surprise people the most was that he was a father first.

That image rang crystal clear earlier this week at the pop singer’s memorial service when his 11-year-old daughter, Paris Katherine Jackson, stood before a crowd of celebrities and music industry titans to describe a side of the entertainer few were privy to.

"I just want to say ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine," she said from the stage. "And I just want to say I love him so much."

Paris was joined on stage by the Jackson family as well as her 12-year-old brother Prince Michael and 7-year-old Prince Michael II who was affectionately called "Blanket" by the late pop singer.

For many, this marked the first time any of Michael Jackson’s children were seen in public. Prior to this, the singer always made a point to hide his children’s faces in public.

He was also a responsible father, according to the New York Post. After Prince Michael spilled popcorn in a recording studio, Jackson bent down to pick up the spilled snack.

"I’m not sure you would see Madonna doing that," said the producer, according to the article.ADNFCR-1662-ID-19261001-ADNFCR

    The producer does not know Madonna so he does not know what she would or wouldn’t do and its that sort of stupid talk that is systemic amongst people against celebrities. Until people saw the pics of MJ with his kids, who knew he was atleast that attentive? Now, a producer makes a silly coment. Madonna doesn’t pump herself full of pills because she’s got children to raise. I guess we can’t say the same for MJ. God rest his soul. How about that?!

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
