OMG!!!!!!! THIS IS IT is FANTASTIC. MICHAEL JACKSON is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I went to the premiere and I am still buzzing.

The film is a unique look at behind the scenes footage of Michael Jackson and his team of performers in rehearsal for the THIS IS IT live show.
I really want to urge you to get tickets pronto and see this before the limited run closes. It is utterly inspiring and has you dancing and singing along in your seats.

The show, directed by Kenny Ortega is a masterpiece. Travis Payne choreographs a brilliant fresh feel  never been seen before, combining the old school moves we know and love with some hot moves that make your head spin as they are just so on. The SFX specialists, set designers, graphic artists, musicians, vocalists, aerialists and wardrobe are all on top of their game. Only the best for MJ. Shout out to my old pal, Dorian Holley who is the vocal leader! However not enough can be said about the amazing dancers. They did our industry proud. They feature the whole way through and they are LIVING IT. Props to Tony Testa as assistant choreographer.

The footage is precious. We are so lucky to see MJ in this way; smiling, laughing, quick-witted, humorous, smart, passionate and rehearsing with perfection. All  with a humble soul and a beautiful nature. It is such a blessing to be exposed to this true master at work.

MJ sends out some powerful messages through this film.

However, I cannot ignore the message I received; that we are not guaranteed of tomorrow. So do it today everyone. Get out there and do whatever it is you want to do. Dance like there is no tomorrow. Let it simmer, Bathe in the moonlight.

Love lives forever!

Michael Jackson This Is It review

out now !

I just saw it...

And all I can say is WOW! What a talent, what a gem he was, gone way too soon... Watching him create, rehearse and perform made me realize why I wake up every morning and dedicate myself to the arts. We are so fortunate and blessed to have grown up with his work, and I know our lives are richer because of him and the gifts he gave us. It's our duty to carry on his legacy, but more importantly than that, to keep on creating. As MJ says, it's all about the L.O.V.E.
