Its a must for all MJ lovers
MICHAEL JACKSON’S “THIS IS IT” is a must for all music lovers to watch. The movie, drawn from more than 100 hours of footage of MJ’s resold-out concerts that staged last July in London, is No. 1 world-behind-the-scenes rehearsals for 50 would have been wide.
Even non-MJ fanatics will be mesmerized. I got goose bumps during the celebrity premiere, with the audience applause reverberating after every number. I wept at the thought that MJ did not get a chance to show the world some thing that he worked for so painstakingly But through the film, at least, we got a sneak peek at the magic he was raring to unveil.
The King of Pop’s awesome performance here belies his age. (Was he really 50? Obviously, he still had so much to give. There was just no way he could have been sick. He was full of energy and joie de vivre, which he spread around so generously during rehearsals. That’s why it made me all the more sad that he died the way he did.)
“This Is It” is the next best thing to watching MJ live. It gives a glimpse of his gentle and child-like nature, in the way he jokes around with his crew and back-up dancers/musicians. One touching moment is when he tells his lady guitarist, “It’s your time to shine. [I] will be here for you.”
I have become an even bigger MJ fanatic after watching this movie. I love MJ with every beat of my heart and miss him with every breath that I take. That will always be that. And this will always be this. Michael is IT! No other entertainer comes close.
