I could simply come here and define "This It It", but I don't have the exact words that could make him justice. So, all I can do is try.
This movie meant more to me that any videoclip or any concert. Finally, I felt really close of his creativity, his love for what he have done over than 45 years, the way he put his heart, body and soul to the service of art.
When he did "Human Nature", I think my heart has melted. His devotion for the song was unbelievable. He felt each musical note, each word, each moment, each sound.
" I Just Can't Stop Loving You" was an interpretation full of passion. Backing vocal Judith Hill executed perfectly the job of being Siedah Garrett, Michael was trying to get more intimacy with her, incorporating the man of whom the song speak...
And then, "Billie Jean". All the dancers, the sound and light engineers, the producers, everyone applauded. This time, I wish to highlight the dance. The improvise brought more magic to the original coreography (I hate using the word coreography on Michael's jobs!), and I got the idea that he was being "electrocuted" by the music... I really don't have the right words to describe this performance. Maybe fantastic, legendary, delightful.
The idea of "Earth Song" really appealed to my humanitarian side. What he said about our planet, about what we should do to keep the earth alive, and then the message of the flower and the burned forest. It really brought tears to my eyes. How sad!
"The Way You Make Me Feel", "Smooth Criminal" and "Thriller" were really a surprise! But, when you talk about Michael, you can expect anything but the usual!
The new versions are awesome, I love them all. Like you can see, Michael's mind is always inovating.
The people, his friends, his family, all of them can say how weak Michael was before he died, that he didn't wanted to do the concerts, that he didn't have strength even to eat, that he couldn't walk or get out of bed.
I've seen This It It, and what my eyes saw wasn't weakness, sadness or contrariety. I didn't saw Michael stop for only one minute.
I saw the beautiful smile in his face, the sparkle in his eyes, the power of the rhythm and the excitement traversing his body.
My will is stay here and write about each moment and each song, but I can't, and attending to the fact that I don't wanna annoy anyone, I'm finished.
This Is It, intemporal piece of art, shows the intelligence and the huge talent of a giant soul called Michael Jackson.
"It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity. To say the man is a genius is an understatement. He cradles each note, coaxes the music to depths beyond reality. I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again."
"I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable."
Elizabeth Taylor
"More important, however, is that we rarely witness Jackson giving 100%: He frequently comments that he is saving his voice and body for the actual performances. Jackson certainly can’t be faulted for this, but it's questionable whether he would really want his fans to see him thus. Don’t get me wrong: 60% of Michael Jackson is still a pretty good thing [...] [Jackson] the noted perfectionist, at work, correcting others’ dance moves without missing a beat himself and giving notes, sometimes revelatory and other times inscrutable, to his music director and others"

The Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California have extended an olive branch to Forest Lawn Cemetery -- where MJ is buried -- offering to clean up the recent wave of hidden vandalism outside the singer's tomb ... before the cemetery decides to ban MJ fans altogether.
