"To Us, Michael Is Family": Grieving Janet Pays Tribute To Brother Michael at BET Awards
Janet Jackson, who I consider the Duchess of Pop, made a surprise appearance at last night's BET Awards to pay tribute to her brother Michael. The pop star, who was visibly shaken and grieving, thanked the world for their love and support and made this statement: "To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family". She revealed that she was elected by the family to speak on their behalves after realizing a full appearance would be "too painful".
The icon was escorted on the stage by Jamie Foxx, who later performed "I'll Be There" with Ne-Yo to close out the show. The BET Awards was retooled to pay tribute to the fallen King of Pop, who shockingly passed away last Thursday.
