"This Is It"



Well "This Is It" everyone..... I finally went to see Michael Jackson's highly anticipated movie of footage for his "curtain call" performance.

It's been four months since his passing and unlike many others I have been a fan for years.... While he was still alive..whether it was jamming to Human Nature at my nana's house while dancing in the mirror..... Or replaying thriller on her record player acting like a scary zombie...Trying not to make it scratch....when I changed the song....Fun times....

The documentary/old recorded footage of rehearsals took us to the personal stage of it all.
It starts  with an intro to his plans for the final show and all the preparation that went to it.

Many of the dancers chosen for the show shared there love and appreciation for Michael and his creative, inspiring energy.
Some coming far and wide just for the opportunity to audition.

The movie then continues with different rehearsals....while Mike sings... Stopping ever so often to make sure he hears the right sound.

The footage shared many of the well thought out plans for stage, lighting, dancing... And mini movies that were specially created for the show.

I couldn't help notice how he was trying to perfect everything... down to the note that was heard on the piano...
He wanted everyone to shine and always was polite even when we was frustrated during certain rehearsals...

He said he does everything with L-O-V-E....and "that's why we practice right?"






Love the movie.. check it out. .
