This Is It


Everyone will know by now that this is not a film per se but a collection of rehearsals for Michael Jackson's projected residence at the O2 arena which never came to fruition as he passed away before he could perform - I have to say I was very impressed with this film,not being a massive fan of his but obviously appreciative of some of his songs - I do consider "Black And White" to be in particular a musical masterpiece.

This was a fascinating insight into his world and he certainly looked well, dancing and singing perfectly competently - he was backed by a brilliant backing band, the lady lead guitarist being simply sensational.All of the big hits were run through and it is a shame that the concerts never came to pass as they would have been simply sensational - you had a glimpse of the special effects,special stages and so on and so forth.

All of the dancers loved him,being in awe of his talent and he did reciprocate.He certainly showed himself to being completely in charge of all proceedings,being quite clear about his requirements and expectations.Very impressive,a sad loss indeed.7/10
