Micheal Jackson's This Is It, which opened around the globe Tuesday and Wednesday, was absolutley incredible. Starring the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson delivers an amazing amount of energy and charisma, emphasizing the genius that he was. A musical documentary featuring a compilation of interviews, rehearsals and a behind-the-scenes journey, from April- June 2009, of the creation and development of Jackson's final world tour.

Every song touched me in its own way, covering just about every classic, as Jackson put it, "I want to give the audience exactly what they want to hear". Thriller, Smooth Criminal, Billy Jean, just to name a few, all of which held up to there titles. Amazing the way Jackson would just stop in middle of a tune because it was off by the smallest decimal, "It needs to simmer". Ensuring that each song was precisely in tune the way his fans heard and remember, at one point he says "I just want to hear it the way I wrote it".


Beginning with short interviews from the handful of dancers chosen to perform along side Jackson, an opportunity that words or emotions can barely describe. Speechless, half of the dancers did what they could to hold back the tears while the other half let it all out, expressing how unbelievably lucky they were. The thing is that it was not luck it was pure talent, the best of the best, dancers who possessed the ability to depict Jackson's brilliance. Crisp and rhythmical, like a robot pre-programmed, every move chiseled to perfection.

The director of the concert and movie, Kenny Ortega, blissful and on Jackson's side, repeatedly telling Jackson how much he loves him. Jackson responds: I love you too. The two shared a bond, Jackson ensuring he called all the shots while Ortega micro-managed allowing for his inventiveness and talent to shine.

Jackson wanted the show to be flawless, a performance to be remembered, this was it, and even though he "was saving his voice" for the real performance the energy that he gave us was unreal. Aiming for some high notes he could not hold back, even during a rehearsal. There is no doubt this concert would have been mind-blowing, although the curtain fell sooner then expected- a tragedy, Michael Jackson will always be remembered. The king of pop, a dancer first then a singer, a pure musical genius. A portrait of the artist at work, a musical documentary as revealing as it gets, a final look at Jackson doing was he loved. This is it.
