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

This is It! March 15, 2010
C. Resnick (White House, Tennessee USA)
A must for all MJ fans. Would have loved to attended this concert had he lived to provide it. Despite all the negativity of Michaels life, he was a brilliant performer. The way he looked in this video was a far cry from the horrible pictures seen on the tabloids. Rest in Peace Michael. I am so glad I have your videos and music to enjoy.

Marian Wilson (FAIRMONT, WV, US)
I think if Michael had not died this would have been his best concert to date! Everything would have been bigger and better than his older concerts. Michael's brothers said you only saw 60% of Michael here because he was trying to make sure everyone knew what they were supposed to do but if Michael had actually done the concert you would have seen the 200% he always gave for all of his concerts, and I could see that during the rehersals. The musicians, dancers, and singers were excellent!
Amazing. March 14, 2010

Simply amazing. Yet again he proves why the world stopped when he died. He was the most amazing performer of all time.
