Product Description
Goes behind the scenes of the rehearsals from April to June 2009 for Michael Jackson's sold-out concerts at London's 02 Arena.
Amazon.com
It's hard not to watch This Is It without feeling a mixture of sorrow and elation. When he passed away in the summer of 2009, Michael Jackson was in the midst of rehearsals for his final tour, an ambitious 50-date engagement. In editing 120 hours of rehearsal footage together, Jackson producer Kenny Ortega proves that it would've been an event for the ages. Michael performs material that spans his career, from a Motown medley to multi-platinum hits from Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Though he hadn't toured in 10 years, it becomes instantly apparent, despite rumors to the contrary, that Jackson was still in full possession of that unmistakable voice--high-pitched whoops and all--and that he still had the gravity-defying moves of a man half his age. Jackson and Ortega also collaborated on some real showstoppers, such as a graveyard-set "Thriller"; an imposing "They Don't Care About Us," in which several dancers appear to morph into thousands; and a film noir sequence in which the singer slides in and out of Gilda and other black-and-white classics, singing "Smooth Criminal" all the while. Not everything works, like the Jackson 5 numbers, in which he flubs a few lyrics, claiming that his earpiece isn't working properly, but as he readily acknowledges, "That's what rehearsal is for." It's a tragedy that he didn't get the chance to share this dazzling show with the world, but Ortega allows fans to feel as if it actually happened--at least onscreen. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

MAURICIO CUERVO (FOLSOM, CA, US)
This video was created from a series of rehearsals for the last concert that MJ was planning to do in London for 1 year (~50 concerts).
I can summarize this as simply AMAZING! I would have loved to be in his concert. What a genius MJ was.
I loved every moment of that video. It is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

You should really see this. It shows how hard working he really was and of course, his creativity.

I received a used copy of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" and couldn't be more pleased. It's in perfect condition and was very pleased with the price. Thanks, Amazon, for being there!!
