O My Thoughts…..
I got the opportunity to watch, Michael Jackson’s This is it …….
I got the chance because my boss was kind enough to give me two passes for a screening at Liberty……. I wouldn’t have bothered to by tickets after reading what all the critics had to say and might have just watched the DVD….. the critics were on the case on blogs and every where else. Who cares what those so called experts think any way. Right !
I went to this premier of sought on the second day of its screening and was watching it with my better half ….. Hmmm ! and mid way I thought to my self…… Gotta write about this….. Gotta …..” This was it “
Seriously Speaking I was expecting much more from a film about MJ after his death, than what i saw before my eyes. No flash backs, no historical footage nothing ! Nada !
It was only about his upcoming encore performance, his so called finale World Tour…… ” This is it “. I Should have guessed as much from the title right.
I am no die hard MJ fan………. but i was a fan never the less, So what I saw disappointed me………. but i enjoyed as much as i could. The ending was totally abrupt ! ! ! by the way……….. ! ! !
I am not a person to judge and …….. I don’t care if MJ had a criminal record or not…….. if he did he got away quite easy……… SO much for the American legal system…… LOL 
Any way…..MJ was truly the King of Pop and he definitely knew everything about the music he made…. Its unlikey there will be any one like him for some time as he was a perormfer who crossed barriers and could reach out to millions around the globe with his music.
And his records are likely to be sold for many years to come……….. so although some like to hate him and some like to love him….. I just think that he deserves his place in POP and music history for the great entertainer he was. After All WHo doesn’t like ” THRILLER “

Movie Review – This is it
” This is it ” for me was a movie that showed Micheal in a new light, how well he knew what he was doing……. how eccentric he was on stage ….. how well he knew his music and how alive he was when he lived. . . The concert I never saw
He knew how to entertain his followers, fans and even someone who showed little interest in him and to hold them till the last note was played……..
From the movie we can see he was a professional, in control of his music but also so supportive towards his crew……. a lot was said about him when he said to Orianthi the Aussi Guitar sensation – ” this is your moment “……. ( I personally think that MJ has a thing for blond female guitar players Ex- Jennifer Batten)
he was eccentric……… some times over board……… and who can forget his crouch grabbing move made famous world over and him kicking around on the floor like a baby for the crowds……LOL. He didn’t look frail like it was reported on the media……… he looked alive and kicking………!
The infamous Kenny Ortega was the director MJ chose like he had done earlier in two occasions……. This man knows what he’s doing but had screwed up a few time too,by taking up mediocre projects and disappointing us.
But he does have a track record of working with many upcoming and talented actors like the talented teen sensation Vanessa Hudgens in the High School Musical. ……. but if the concert did go on…….. What can we say…. It would have been one of his best work ever. . .
The dancer were hand picked by MJ and knew what they were doing… the leading lady Mekia Cox was in heaven with MJ……the vocalist complimented MJ perfectly……. It would truly have been a one of the greatest comebacks EVER !
The stage……… dancers……..make up…. pyrotechnics……… 3D effect were masterfully done and the remake of the song THRILLER was great (Its hard to make some thing that Good go Bad)….. Heal the world……The Classics were all there……..
Wrapping up,
What can I say about “THIS IS IT “………..
I enjoyed it !
but expected a bit more……….. The makers of this documentary should have added more file footage to it and given us the total MJ experience……. that would have been awesome……… It lacked story telling at least the amount expected of a Documentary of this kind…….
For me …….. MJ 10/10…… This is it 5.75/10
So till later……..
RIP…….MJ
