  • Michael's Movie is a Megahit

    MJ announced his “This Is It” concert tour at a press conference in London on March 5, 2009. Eamonn McCormack/WireImage.com A few nights ago, I had the privilege of seeing an advance screening of the highly-anticipated new film, "Michael Jackson's This Is It," which was released in theaters nationwide on October 28. As a devoted fan of his music, dancing, and status as a pop culture icon, I was more than hesitant to see him on the big screen. Why?

    For starters, his untimely death in June rocked me to the core, and I knew that seeing him in this film would solidify the fact that he was gone. More than that, I was terrified of seeing a frail version of his former superstar self suffering through a grueling concert rehearsal. Let's be honest; reports following his death led everyone to believe that Michael was a drug-addicted mess of a man with an inability to function. I can't begin to tell you how glad I was to find out that wasn't the case. At all.

    Relief set in within the first few minutes of the movie and from that point on, I had a wonderful time experiencing his magic all over again. Every note was sung perfectly. Every dance move was popped perfectly. Every person in the theater was in awe.

    I could ramble on and on about my love for the King of Pop and this brilliant documentary, which was skillfully directed by award-winning choreographer Kenny Ortega, but I won't. I'll simply encourage you to see the movie. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and, it will take your breath away.

    If you still aren't convinced, check out the Yahoo! Movies clip of Michael rehearsing "Human Nature" below. And, if that's still not enough, head here to see the theatrical trailer, a few performances, and a behind-the-scenes montage.

    Long live the King!

    Oh no someone is going to report me on an opinon please don't, help someone! Know the real deal and stop trying to cover for a person who cover his own sins up with money-yes, his music was great, no, he wasn't good anything but a singer and acter, acter because he fooled so many into thinking he is inoccent.

    His death was another heart break. He was a kind, generous and talented person that never had a childhood so a large part of him will forever be innocent. May his children always know how special their father was and for the world it will miss a talent we may never see again. Michael, no regrets-rest in peace. Gina

    hahahaha..... sorry, ok euphemia that was real smart to even put a child melester with someone far greater than any man and he was more than likely raised better but that don't mean a thing: he put on a very good mask and that just tells me you fell for it

    MJ was a well raised, polite and loving person. He wouldn't harm a fly. His greatness was his gentleness and love for everyone. Now he resides with the person who inspired his charity, who like him was persecuted and mistreated , but they existed for a Higher purpose ie. AGAPE LOVE.
