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"

Jermaine on his unborn daughters and naming his son ‘Jermajesty’

EB: You have seven kids yourself now, having lots of kids seems to run in the Jackson tradition.

JJ: Well there's seven, and I'm having two more girls. The reason being is because I have six boys and one girl now, so when I have two more girls I'll be just like my father - three girls and six boys.

EB: Have you planned names for them yet?

JJ: Mecca and Medina.

EB: No J's this time? You have six Js. Jermaine Junior, you've got a Jermajesty.

JJ: Yes. He's the nine year old. ...But there is Jermaine Junior, Jeremy, Jourdynn, Jaimy,...

THIS IS NOT IT

On June 25th 2009 Michael Jackson died. He was 50 years old and the father of three young children.

Were you shocked? You should have been. In fact, the true state of Michael Jackson’s failing health was being hidden from you by those who are making a profit from the screening of the “This is It” movie.

The movie is made of a careful choice of footage taken during Michael Jackson’s last rehearsals for the “This is It” Tour. Out of 110 hours of footage, a few scenes where selected in which Michael Jackson smiled and showed that, in spite of being in a dire state, he was...

The following morning, Michael woke me up.
"Becky, Becky?" He whispered gently in my ear. The sound of his voice tickled my ear drum and I opened my eyes. Michael was standing above me and it made me jerk back in shock.
"Sorry.. Didn't mean to scare you.." He apologised. I looked down, embarrassed.
"It's ok.. What are we doing today Michael?" I asked.
"Nothing much I'm afraid, just a Neverland day today, but yo can pick what we do if you want to." Michael smiled.
"Sure Michael. That sounds great." I smiled back. Michael took my hand and pulled me up out of bed. I wobbled a little from tiredness...
