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

Up until this moment, the moment when Michael Jackson's daughter Paris sobbed those heart-wrenching words to a world full of people mourning his death and celebrating his life, I had managed to hold back my own tears for the man. Well, no longer. I feel so, so sorry for his children. So, so sorry!

I know that his name has been repeated over and over since the day he died and that you've all probably had enough of this whole affair by now, but I just wanted to take a moment to express how I feel (and I will be quick about it).

I just want to say, looking past all the media frenzy and despite what opinions others may have had about the man himself, I am personally deeply saddened by his passing. I, like countless others, grew up with his music and it seems so unreal that such a gifted person, who has always had such a presence in our lives, who has touched our souls with such amazing music has now gone so suddenly.

He will be greatly missed, but I for one am thankful to him for sharing such an extraordinary talent with us all. He never knew what a 'normal life' was, and that was his tragedy and his weakness, but his legacy will live on though his music, which is a gift that he left to us all, and through his children. My thoughts and prayers are with them most of all.

I'd like to share the following with you; these being my most favourite songs of his and ones that I will still be listening to for years to come. Please feel free to share your own favourites!

Respect for you Michael Jackson. You once turned into a car and that's something in itself!
