This Is It

This Is It is a fascinating documentary-style behind-the-scenes video of what would have been Michael Jackson's final concert tour.

With multiple cameras and angles, you will watch Jackson rehearsing with the crew and then mixed together to the actual songs.

Say want you want about Michael: weird, bizarre, etc... the man had a great talent of dance and song. He made a huge impact on popular culture. If you have any doubt, just look at the number of awards he won throughout his career.

Outside of this being about Michael Jackson, the video itself is fascinating to watch how a would-have-been blockbuster concert event was put together.

The special featurettes show how they selected the 11 dancers out of hundreds of applicants, and how the concert would have ended with Jackson taking off in a jet. You get to see how every outfit was created for this concert and just how much he loved crystals.

My favorite part, of course, was the music. Nothing can stop you from moving (in some fashion) to songs like Bad, Beat It, Thriller, Billy Jean, etc...

This is a great video for fans and casual listeners of Michael Jackson.
