Michael Jackson: This Is It DVD

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

What others said about this DVD...

"No artist in history has touched as many lives as Michael Jackson. That's evident in this documentary film shot at his memorial service in Los Angeles. The film focuses on the fans that came from all over the world to be near MJ and say goodbye. Sharing their stories about Michael, how he impacted their lives and what his music meant to them. Very personal accounts from real fans, much different than the rehearsed speeches we've all seen on TV. If you couldn't be there in person at Staples Center, this is the next best thing. A great way to remember the man and his music. Highly recommended." -Monika S

"I have always been a HUGE fan of Michael Jackson. I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news of his passing. I was so sad that I couldn't make it to LA for the memorial service. I just wanted to be there. After I watched this DVD, I felt like I was there. I can see how Michael was a huge part of our lives. I will miss Michael." -Katura

What other said about it
I actually went to a live Dangerous Concert at Roundhay Park, Leeds, England. The concert was amazing and one of the most important moments of my life. Michael was sensational, not only does he move, sing and dance like no one else but he transforms the whole arena with his incredible stage presence. You are literally seeing one of the best performers on stage ever, if not the best! It would be difficult to capture this brilliance on DVD, not to mention the atmosphere but I would say the Bucharest Dangerous concert DVD comes very close. I have watched it numerous times and even now it brings out all kinds of emotions. The quality is excellent and you get to see the magnificence of Michael Jackson plus the astonishing reactions from the crowd so you can literally feel the atmosphere. This concert is quite simply a point in history, a time when a musician could bring out pure emotion in a crowd through excellence in music and dance. Buy this, you won't see a better artist in concert and I guarantee anyone who takes a chance on this will be a fan. I become one after the Dangerous Concert in Leeds and I've been to many more concerts since. He never fails to please. Highly recommended!

What other said about this DVD

"This spectacular compilation of Michael Jackson's music videos is a must-see for all MJ fans, and anyone else who enjoys good music and dancing. This tape includes the videos:
-Billie Jean -The Way You Make Me Feel -Black or White* -Rock with You -Bad (shortened version without Wesley Snipes) -Thriller (entire video with credits) -Beat It -Remember the Time -Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough -Heal The World

This is a great video that shows not only the evolution of Michael Jackson's music, but also that of his appearance. Co-stars include Eddie Murphy, Iman, Magic Johnson, McAuley Culkin, Bart and Homer Simpson, and others. An exceptional video!!! *In the video Black or White, Michael appears to be furiously smashing the windows of a car for no reason. In the original, racist graffiti is painted on the windows. This was edited out in this version. Relax, Michael is not crazy. Or at least not that crazy."
