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

Wonderful March 19, 2010

My 9yr old son is a huge MJ fan and this added to his collection. He was very, very happy. He watches and tries to copy the dance moves at least 3x a week.
MJ Is the King Of Pop The DVD speaks for itself March 19, 2010

So glad that they released this DVD, even though it was only rehearsals. Truly showed how he was & was totally in control of these concert/performances. This DVD answered a lot of questions for a lot of people, Plus gave us some closure as well. He was abused most of his life & never had a childhood. He was very good at performing & nobody could take his place. He was a wonderful man & a wonderful father. That loved his children, life MUSIC, family, Earth, Trees, Animals and especially HIS true devoted FANS!
Thanks for releasing THIS IS IT ON DVD,
it was very well put together.
Thanks for the memories Michael, you are gone now,
but will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!
You made a difference here and hope that will continue on.
You always gave, gave & gave.
and all you got was HURT, HURT, AND HURT!
You are finally at peace now. We will all love & miss you.
Your are Forever In Our Hearts!
YOUR MUSIC & VIDEOS ARE STILL THE BEST & always will be!
Love you Michael!
Thanks to the Jackson Family & AEG for the release of "THIS IS IT"!" REMARKABLE!
Thanks to the Jackson Family for letting the fans be a part of his memorial service.It really gave us closure and was very well done. Thanks Jermaine for all that you are doing for Michael.
All is appreciated!
Jackson Family, So sorry for your loss.
The whole world grieves with you!
When Michael passed on, part of all of us went with him.
And it has almost been a year gone by already &
it just seems like it was yesterday.
THIS IS IT, ISN'T A RENTAL, BUT AS A PURCHASE.
10 GOLDEN STARS! TWO THUMBS UP!
That would have been some concert! WOW!
GREAT JOB MICHAEL!
really enjoyed this March 19, 2010

Glad they released this. Wasn't really a huge Michael Jackson fan, but do enjoy his music. I feel this gives a good look at the elements of Michael Jackson we didn't see much of. He was a hardworking guy and the talent he had, although natural, was greatly improved by this work ethic. Also does a good job of making you see him as a normal person, with problems like the rest of us. Brought in a human element better than the other things I've seen on him. It was interesting for several reasons; those are just a couple. If you're a Michael Jackson fan, I feel you'll really like his. Even if you're like me though, just a fan of a few of the songs, I feel you'll find it worth a look.
Fantastic Michael March 19, 2010
Sunshine Sally
What an amazing performance! And I love that I can take the USB flash drive wherever I go. Doesn't take up a lot of space when traveling. I highly recommend this awesome way to watch Michael's last performance!!!!!
MJ This is IT March 18, 2010
Barbara Siomos (PA)
This DVD is so special and I am thrilled I bought it because it made me laugh and cry. M J as he is known on this tour was/is in top form.
I feel so sorry for the artists that rehearsed so long and hard then did not get to open the show. BUT these artists will remember MJ and rehearsals for the rest of their lives, not just for the time spent with him but now they have this special DVD. Everyone (onstage with him) loved him it is obvious
IF you are thinking of buying this and cannot decide Do It!
Michael I had forgotten you before seeing this dvd, but your light NEVER dimmed... YOU are the best and no one can top you as far as talent, being a wonderful caring human being and loving the Planet :-)>
