I had my own doubts as well but I have decided to table whatever reservations I may have and accept the moment for what it was: a grief-stricken child publicly mourning her deceased parent. If I witness any future public outbursts from any of the children, complete with a gaggle of Jacksons in the background giving stage directions, I reserve the right to revisit the issue (and my mixed feelings), but at this point, any overly critical analysis of Paris' behavior at her father's memorial speaks more poorly of the critic than it expresses anything concerning Paris and her extended family.
