michael jr and paris did very well and poor prince michael 2 was too shy and the children are looking more like michael now they are michael's biological children.they do not look like debbie rowe at all they are not her biological children
It was so nice to see Paris and Prince Michael looking so well and so grown up!! I love the support the Jackson family has for each other. The cousins standing in support in the background was touching to see.
Michael Jackson singlehandedly raised some well adjusted amazing beautiful children. Their grandparents are taking good care of them. I was glad to see the son acknowledge that his grandpa loves them.
