Watch Janet's emotional speech

Janet Jackson made an emotional speech about her brother Michael last night, telling the audience at the BET Awards in LA that the family "miss him so much". Janet came on stage looking clearly shaken and on edge, before saying, "My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was just too painful, so they elected me to speak to all of you. I’m going to keep it very short. To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family, and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much." Shortly afterwards, host Jamie Foxx and artist Ne-Yo performed a tribute to Michael Jackson bu singing a rendition of the Jackson 5's I'll Be There.
