Hey! Remember the part of the rehearsal footage when michael had his dancers in the circle, teaching them a dance sequence and they say Who's Bad!? Well some of you may have been like me and said I wish I could have seen the whole dance sequence. Well God hears things even when we don't pray it and an entertainment show had Michael's choreographer and his dancers on performing it. I have the link below:

The dance sequence was great! It was missing Michael. I really saw how much I loved him as a dancer. His spirit as a dancer was missing from the routine.

I love you more Michael! L-O-V-E
(remember Michael would tell us that when we told him we loved him)

HI MJ FANS WORLDWIDE,
First, please know that you are NOT ALONE in your GRIEF AND PAIN in losing our BELOVED Michael. I miss him alot too and he's always on my mind and heart EVERYDAY! MJ's Untimely Death has had a HUGE IMPACT on my LIFE. WE, MJ FANS WORLDWIDE, are STILL in DEEP PAIN, SORROW AND GRIEF since MJ's Tragic and Untimely Death!!
**
Second, I've come to see and understand more thru time, since Michael's passing, that WE FANS LOVED MICHAEL, MICHAEL LOVED US MORE, BUT GOD LOVED MICHAEL MOST!! I believe that ONLY GOD knows why he called our BELOVED Michael home to HEAVEN in which to us Michael was GONE WAY TOOO SOON TO HEAVEN. BUT, I know that MJ went to GOD's LOVING and WAITING ARMS!! I truly BELIEVE that Michael FULFILLED GOD's PLAN FOR HIS LIFE on EARTH. You can look back OVER Michael's AMAZING LIFE OF EXTREME HIGHS AND LOWS (I"m ll years younger than MJ) and you can see GOD"s SPECIAL ANOINTING on Michael's Life.
**
Third, To me, Michael wasn't just a GENIUS, GIFTED ENTERTAINER, BUT rather A VERY SPECIAL, LOVING HUMAN BEING and GIFT FROM GOD to spread a VERY IMPORTANT Message of LOVE, PEACE, FORGIVENESS and HARMONY across the GLOBE, WORLDWIDE through his BEAUTIFUL MUSIC and LIFE!! Do you know that the name MICHAEL means "A Special Heavenly Angel close to GOD". Of All of Katherine and Joseph Jackson's 9 children, their 7th Child was named MICHAEL!!! That wasn't by mistake BUT rather by GOD"s DIVINE' PLAN from the beginning!! Just like GOD has a DIVINE PLAN for ALL OF OUR LIVES TO TOUCH AND IMPACT THIS WORLD IN OUR OWN SMALL and UNIQUE WAY!!
**
Fourth, ONLY GOD knows what was to come ahead for our BELOVED Michael and he said it was TIME to call his BELOVED SON, MICHAEL, HOME from Earth, thus leaving his FAMILY, CHILDREN and FANS WORLDWIDE HEARTBROKEN!! I'm just so GRATEFUL TO GOD that Michael WAS DOING WHAT HE LOVED TO DO MOST, and that's was ENTERTAINING and PEFORMING on Stage where Michael felt most HAPPY and LOVED!! I believe the THIS IS IT Concert Movie is a BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONY of MJ's LIFE, HEART and SOUL left behind for MJ's Family, Children and Fans to ENJOY FOREVER!! Death is Never Easy and It's SO FINAL, COLD and PAINFUL. Also, the Loved Ones are left behind to bear the PAIN, GRIEF and SORROW!!. But you have to know that GOD is here for US too to help with the GRIEVING process by giving us his AMAZING and ABUNDANCE OF LOVE, PEACE, GRACE and MERCY!!!
**
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL and I THANK GOD FOR BLESSING US WITH THE AMAZING GIFT CALLED Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson. There will NEVER be another Michael Joseph Jackson EVER!! Michael will FOREVER BE the GREATEST, GOD-GIFTED, GORGEOUS, GENEROUS, GENIUS ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED PERIOD. I'm so Blessed that I LOVED, ADMIRED and RESPECTED you and was a HUGE FAN and got to ENJOY You while you were alive and Touched our lives over your 40 years Career!!!
**
RIP MJ - WE LOVE YOU MORE TOO BUT GOD LOVED YOU MOST!!! Listen to MJ's BEAUTIFUL SONG "FOR ALL TIMES" (Thriller 25th Anniversary). FOR ALL TIMES is very Healing and Loving!!

Much amazing...

Hello fans. I just came back from seeing THIS IS IT for the second time. I went with 2 friends and my mom who saw it for the first time. She was in awe as she wasn't exactly a fan. She is one now.

She said another thing as a conclusion to this movie. THAT HE WAS KILLED. That's because of his message of peace and love that he had. Of being united, saving the planet.

He was a voice and young people, people who loved and appreciated him like us, the fans, would have followed him and his beliefs as if he had been a leader. So...he had to be silenced....The doctor was just a tool in the hands of evil people who wanted him dead so his message wouldn't bee carried on. HE WAS HEALTHY, STRONG, CONFIDETN, HAPPY. So, his family may be right is believing he was murdered. He was but not by a doctor, by otehr people, important people.

I think we, as fans, should ot let these people stop us or Michael. We should carry on his message! Do that for him!

My mom is very wise and her intuition is never wrong! I know from experience. She's a believer and God really speaks to her in a wonderful way. She cried during the film and she's not a fan....

I like Michael even more now. I think God used him not just to entertain us nut to send a message to the world. It's like Michael said at the end "we have 4 years to do something, etc"

I've posted a few GLOWING reviews of This Is It below - check them out if you haven't seen the film.

GO SEE the film in an IMAX Theater if you haven't already.

I've seen This Is It 7 times now and once in IMAX. Michael in IMAX is a MUST. The screens are bigger so MICHAEL IS BIGGER. The picture quality is ridiculously clear and the sound is phenomenal. It's really worth the extra couple of dollars to see it at least once in IMAX because you almost feel like you're part of the film - right there with Michael!

Also, STAY UNTIL THE VERY END PAST ALL OF THE CREDITS - there's more Good Stuff - stay until you see the "socks".

Also, DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR MICHAEL IN ALL 5 CATEGORIES HE'S NOMINIATED IN FOR THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS. KEEP VOTING UNITL 11/22.

YES.. I did see the "This Is It" and WOW! .. I took it as a celebration of a creative pure genius coming back with full force to show his fans he still had it PLUS more. It was bitter/sweet to see him perform as I had never saw him perform live; this was an opportunity for me (but what a twist of fate) .. it still is hard to believe he is gone. At times I feel he isn't; and I know I'm not the only one that feels that. His performance was comparable to that of 20 yrs ago; the MOVES (which he only perfected even more), his VOICE.... like an Angels and he seemed so happy. You see him in control and hands on throughout the rehearsals; hard at work (plus the stress of 50 shows;)...... from a to z.. Loved the music (sounded even better) and the sets/special effects were over the top. They extended the movie from what I understand and I too will be seeing it again.

The song "This Is It" sounded so beautiful and complimented the lyrics even more.

I cried (couldn't help it); when they flashed back to the J5 days; he was right on the mark with the notes for those early tunes... it brought me back in time .

As always with Michael... "It's all About love... L.O.V.E..
He makes the world Smiling

MJ's This is It Album is No. 1 on the billboard album chart in the US!!! It becomes MJ's sixth No. 1 album. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/04/michael-jackson-takes-it-to-the-top/

As we all know, the film was also the top box office draw last week around the world, which has grossed $106 Million so far (as of Monday, 11/2/09) Yeah!!! MJ rules!!!

I purchased tickets for the London O2 center for 9/21. Has ANYONE received commemorative tickets?

i watched the movie here in our country,philippines..the day it opened in our local cinema..extremely happy and at the same time sad..happy beacuase the movie really showcased the mj that we all love..sad because mj is not with us anymore..a very lonesome sadness crept into me..i thought,,too bad..mj is not here to witness the love and support of his fans..what a great loss..what a waste of a talent..a genius..I will forever be thankful to MJ for his music and his talent..
I just hope that his death will somehow be a way for us people and the media to ponder upon where did we go wrong too..the popculture can sometimes led the shining stars to fall down..
I LOVE YOU MJ..RIP

Hi NellyMJ, HannahluvsMJ and Agripina,

I knew it - The drum sequence in 2000 Watts is what is in MJ's THIS IS IT Movie Trailer - IT'S TOTALLY HOT and MJ IS JUST BEYOND BRILLIANT and TALENTED!!! I can't stop listening to MJ's THREATENED!! It would have been GREAT if MJ extended the THRILLER 3-D Segment in the Movie to include more HOT Dance and Music segments from GHOSTS and THREATENED!!!

I would have humbly tell MJ that he could have totally maximized the Thriller 3-D Segment in the Concert Tour to be the following:

MJ's THRILLER REMIX in 3-D (Featuring GHOSTS and THREATENED)
1. Open with THRILLER Intro
2. Dance and Sing - Key Lyrics and Moves from GHOSTS with 3-D Effects
3. Maximize the Signature Dance Sequence from THRILLER with 3- D Effects
4. Dance and Sing - Key Lyrics and Moves from THREATENED with 3-D Effects
5. Close with THRILLER (Vincent Price Laughter)

What do you guys think? MJ always wanted to incorporate GHOSTS and THRILLER together and he added THREATENED but I think he could have MASH IT UP on these 3 Songs and Dance Segments.

XOXOXO - MJ,

FOOD 1st (a must)
I had to have my security stuff, magnum caramel ice cream, cappuccino & had to have my KFC
2nd a bandana for the tears.
3rd Friends were seeing it in the big smoke but I live far up the coast so it was quiet up here.
Review:
There were only about 20 people in the cinema(it was the 10am session on the Thursday 29th). So I let it all hang out ahah no inhibitions who's watching little old me.
I cried, I laughed, I sang, I danced on my seat. When J5 moment came up I went off doing the dance thing. I screamed his name out a many times I was a mess.
I was a blithering fan in grief all over the place stuffing my face with sugar hits, I nearly collapsed. People came up ( oops I was not alone)& asked how I was rubbing my back. I said I do not know anymore. I thought I was on my own for I was at the front I did not look behind me. I ran out grabbing some posters. At 46y up here it looked odd. I wished I was with my city MJ friends & my on-line friends. You guys.
It was hard.
I had a blinder of a headache after. I had to go to bed.
I love you Mikey xoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
The depth of Michael for sound to get it right was so moving. Reminded me of the old days of recording.
MJ grinding his teeth & doing the head moving thing & singing like that. What a character.
I wish we were friends.
The cloths well I would have gone mental in there. One of my passions that's in the blood but have not explored.
Thank you to all for your passion to finish this movie love to you all.
God bless
Blue

still with a heavy heart
for michael jackson

i saw the film for the second time
and i honestly thought that i would be fine...
glad to see him perform like when he was younger
but at the same time sadness, in my heart grow fonder
there's a great sense of loss that i could not deny
for a wonderful person like him, who would not cry
with his enormous talent and gentle heart
i truly wished that he would never part...
but the truth is here, and he is gone
all that's left is to cherish what he had done
i feel very fortunate to see his legacy, his work of art
but then i could not help it, i still have a heavy heart
still having a hard time to accept
that only memories of him are left
i hope that he's happy and in all aspects better...
i love you, michael and will always miss you more than ever!

A wonderful review of the movie posted today by Francine Hardaway:

"... While I never thought Michael Jackson was a child molester, I wasn't a true fan, either. And I probably believed he couldn't make it through fifty shows on the drugs he was on.
I now question my own judgment. The very first show would have electrified the world and given Jackson the adrenalin to go on. The man was a genius. Coming into rehearsals, he clearly knew every song, every move, every note. It was as if the music poured out from inside his DNA , where it always lived and now was being given the chance to express. Having never been anything but a performer, Michael Jackson was still a performer at 50, capable of astounding dance moves and exquisite timing. Not only that, but at 50 he was happy to be in the role of mentor to the younger dancers and musicians, rather than a competitor with them. He clearly wanted to give them an opportunity to shine. The audience would have loved him. Did he do every acrobatic move that the younger dancers did? Of course not. But he reminded me of a great tennis player who can win a match through superior strategy even though athletically past his prime.
At the rehearsals, he seemed comfortable with the show. Never irritable on camera, he appeared gracious and loving. By the time they were set to go to London, he had accepted the cast and crew as family, and they gave him the adulation he deserved. Many of them had traveled around the world to audition for the show. It's sad they never got the chance to hear the applause. And it's sad Michael never got a chance to do even one show, because the sets, costumes, lighting, and graphics would have been out of the ballpark. Go see this movie to see what they were working on; this production would have been worth the ticket price even if the understudy went on for Michael Jackson.
The footage was shot with two cameras, fortunately in high definition, but nothing like a finished movie. It was meant to be for Jackson's personal archive, and it is truly a documentary -- it documents the rehearsals without window dressing. In it you can see the mutual respect between Kenny Ortega, who directed the movie and co-directed the show with Michael, and Michael Jackson. Clearly they are used to working together, and they help each other out. I especially liked it when Ortega told Jackson to "hold on" to the bars on the cherry picker the first time Jackson took a ride on it. Jackson seemed fearless, wanting to take it higher and sing while doing it, but Ortega only wanted him to take the ride and test the safety.
Was Michael Jackson a sick drug addict? No way. Did we, the public and the media, hasten the death of a man who felt for the planet and wanted to deliver a message of love to the world? Probably. We have a grim way of eating our public figures alive these days. I'm sure Michael Jackson wasn't perfect, but neither are we."
Thank you Francine!

Hey everyone. I didn't see it here in the MJ store. But there is a book out with additional rehearsal pictures. I bought mine from Walmart last night. (USA) It's $15.00, but it was on sale for $10. There are many more beautiful shots of Michael rehearsing that are not in the CD book. It looks like a concert program. It's a paperback with the same This is It cover as the album. Its about 11 x 17. It says This is It archive pictures.

**Hey Tikko... Michael passed before the dress rehearsal which was only days away. Sad Zaldy the designer, 2nd to Michael's longtime head designer Michael Bush on the tour, was putting the final touches on everything.

**MICHAEL WAS NUMBER ONE AT THE U.S. MOVIE BOX OFFICE: 23 MILLION!! 101 MILLION 5 DAY TOTAL WORLDWIDE!!

Reports state that This is It has been extended to Thanksgiving here in the US. It will be extended based on each country outside the USA.

GO MICHAEL! I love you more! L-O-V-E!

Thanks to those people who made this event happened, in particular Ortega because he caught the more representative moments of MJ’s personality: Coming out from the cinema a friend of mine, who thought that Michael was just an eccentric, told me “he was a very special person, he was an angel”. This is to confirm my thesis: some people don’t love Michael because they know him enough; that’s why I decided that the mission in my life will be to show as much as I can who Michael really is, he deserves it for the emotions I feel when I hear him singing or see him dancing, and for having changed my idea about the world; in the film he tells his collaborators that he wanted to achieve this target with the concert, and I think he succeeded! Besides Michael wanted to show the world something never seen before, and once again he succeeded: this film is the proof of that; I knew he was a genius: his music and his videos can only be the result of a total devotion to his job, but watching him at work made me understand that his genius is really a gift from God, and this is another reason why I can’t stop crying because he is not on this earth anymore.

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THERE WAS A FINAL "RUN THROUGH"; DRESS REHEARSAL"? THE COSTUMES WERE DONE, WE HAVE SEEN THE PHOTOS OF MICHAEL GETTING FITTED AND THE FINAL COSTUMES FOR HIM....MAYBE A FULL OUT CONCERT MOVIE FINISHED COMPLETE......THAT WOULD BE AWESOME, I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEEN THIS COMPLETED, WOULD HAVE GIVEN NEW MEANING TOO

"THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH"

LOVE YOU MORE MICHAEL..........

I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH - MJ's THIS IS IT Movie is SOO HEALING FOR ME!! There are so many scenes that I LOVE - but THREE of my FAVORITE is scenes ARE:

1). The Drill Sequence in "THEY DON"T CARE ABOUT US" - I love this entire Scene - especially MJ training the dancers. HE IS SO AMAZING AND TALENTED!!

2). At the End of "THRILLER" - When MJ is Dancing on the rising stage next to Choreographer - Travis Payne to "Threatened" from the Invincible Album and MJ is Totally ROCKING IT OUT!!! He looks so young and Hip in that scene. I LOVE THE BEAT. I didn't discover the "Threatened" song until that Scene in the movie.

3). "BEAT IT" - I love MJ's Boxing Moves - HE LOOKS SO DARN SEXY and HAPPY doing that song. Also, at the end of Beat It when Michael and the Dancers starts stomping and jumping around. I love seeing MJ goofing off and kicking his legs in the air and rolling on the floor and stomping his feet. For some reason I thought of his younger son "Blanket" at the moment - because MJ was like a big kid at the moment. Then MJ says " Let It Burn.. Lights Out". I LOVED IT!!!

One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE MJ songs is says " DON'T STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH" But I can't get enough of MJ's THIS IS IT Movie because this is the last CREATIVE ADVENTURE that our Beloved Michael did. I've seen MJ's THIS IS IT Movie - 4x Times and Counting...

I FALL DEEPER IN LOVE WITH MJ - IF THAT IS EVEN POSSIBLE - EVERYTIME I SEE his THIS IS IT Movie. I"m so Proud and Honored to be a MJ FAN and I miss his BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT, CREATIVITY, HUMILITY and most importantly his LOVE - LOVE YOU MORE MJ. Michael inspires me to BE THE BEST I CAN BE and Use your God-Given GIFTS TO the Ultimate!!!

WE LOVED MICHAEL, MICHAEL LOVED US MORE.....BUT GOD LOVED HIM MOST... and called him HOME to HEAVEN to entertain the ANGELS and show them how to MOONWALK and DO the LEAN FROM SMOOTH CRIMINAL (Heee,Heee).

I've seen MJ's THIS IS IT Movie 4x Times and Counting and I just LOVE WATCHING MICHAEL OVER and OVER and OVER AGAIN!! I plan on seeing MJ's THIS IS IT Movie SEVERAL MORE TIMES in an IMAX Theatre next. I heard IMAX is the best theatre to see it in if possible.

MJ - I'M MISSING AND LOVING YOU TERRIBLY EVERYDAY AND FOREVER!!!

XOXOXO - MJ,

'This Is It' Tops Box Office At $101M Global Sales
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
**
"Michael Jackson's This Is It" pulled in $101 million worldwide in its first five days, and distributor Sony is extending the farewell performance film beyond its planned two-week run. The film was the No. 1 Halloween thriller domestically with a $21.3 million opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. The previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Paramount's low-budget horror sensation "Paranormal Activity," slipped to No. 2 with $16.5 million, lifting its total to $84.8 million.
"This Is It" raised its domestic total to $32.5 million. The movie pulled in $68.5 million overseas, including $10.4 million in Japan, $6.3 million in Germany, $5.8 million in France and $3.2 million in China.
**
"He's just loved everywhere on the planet," said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony. "It doesn't matter if it's Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, South America. Every continent in the world loved him and his music."
**
In Great Britain, where Jackson had planned a marathon series of 50 London concerts starting last July, the movie earned $7.6 million. "This Is It" captures Jackson in behind-the-scenes performances in the weeks before his death last June, as he rehearsed his biggest hits for the London shows.
**
"This Is It" originally was scheduled for a theatrical run of only two weeks. The studio has extended it a few more weeks domestically, leaving it in theaters through Thanksgiving weekend, one of the year's busiest moviegoing times. Sony plans to extend the run of "This Is It" overseas on a country-by-country basis, with most territories probably getting one to three weeks of extra playing time, Bruer said. The studio paid $60 million for film rights to Jackson's rehearsal footage, an investment the movie recouped in days. "They bet $60 million on this and got $101 million in just five days," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "It was a gamble and a bet that paid off."

in the movie, mj said "it's all for love". everybody has his/her own opinion regarding how mj was before he died. whether he was dragged into the rehearsals because of his health or not. seeing the film just proves that he was ultimately talented and creative. i believe that if a person is forced into doing someting that he doesn't want to do, he will not give it his all. a successful person like him will be unlikely to be pushed into doing something that he doesn't want to do. that's my belief, for everybody else who believes otherwise, i respect you because you are entitled to it. but please respect fans like me who adores and admires whatever it is that michael left behind. for us, it's a joy to share michael's last moments with the rest of the world. as what he had said in the movie, it's all for love. he did it, gave it his all because he loved his fans and i believe that he would not like his fans not to be united because of their conflicting beliefs. respect is the key word and it is necessary.

Eu assisti duas vezes!!!
Deu para perceber que ia ser um show MARAVILHOSO!!!
Que pena... só ficamos com os bastidores desse mega evento...
Mas... valeu a pena assistir!!!
VALEU MICHAEL!!!!

I went to the movie to see MJ. Oh my God! He was and remains one of the best entertainers of the world. I cried and danced. The people around me were also dancing and cheering. He provided us as people unity through music. I have seen the movie twice and I am going again to the IMAX. God gave him his enter ear to listen, create and entertain. I have always loved him, and never believed any of those reports and lies.. He is a special angle and a man of kind words, even tho he was treated so badly by others. I feel for Janet and his mother, brothers, for they know him and they are family. I feel for his children and what I pray for is that, his father will look in the mirror, as MJ as told us his father has hurt him, in ways no one such be harmed. I wonder, if he could have just told his son, he was sorry or explained why he acted in the manner he did. He is human. Children are affected differently through verbal/physical abuse. I see all the time. MJ needed more than what was offered from his father. MJ gave his family more than material things, money. He gave them a door to a positive Legacy. When you look at the people that worked around him it is obvious. He gave them Love. I see that. I feel he was trying to repair himself spiritually and he did it was something else that is unique to MJ that remain unanswered. THERE IS NOTHING more important than the love of a child. Maybe he would still be here with us. Maybe God said enough. Maybe we are to learn from MJ’s death that we are people but we are subject to hurt if not surrounded by love ones. I know how important family is, good or bad. If MJ shown us any thing we need to love our friends and family better be close to our higher power, help Humanities, be nice chose to be helpful not selfish be more spiritual.
I am
Peace

i saw the movie on saturday, i got to say that i was very moved and touched to see the rehersals for the tour. everybody at the theater was jamming-out , singing along, and some were even dancing in their seats. yes, i did all of that. i was glad to see i was not the only one to get in to the movie. i cried when that part when he sings "i'll be there" came on. it was so emotional for me. i don't know if i'll ever get pass or accept the fact that he is no longer here with us. all i know he will forever live in my heart and in my ipod...... God Bless you Michael......also ... God Bless the Jackson Family, you all are always in my thoughts and prayers.

love always a big Jackson Family fan,
