Michael Jackson: This Is It [Blu-ray]

What a great glimpse into the life of a man no one knew but everyone talked about. He was an extraordinary person and it is shown plain as day here by his friends and associates. RIP, MJ.

I really enjoyed this DVD. I didn't get a chance to see it when it was on the big screen and that's why I purchased it. I especially liked the added features. One was about the costumes that had been made for him to wear. That really brought it home for me. My husband wasn't going to watch it but got sucked in and enjoyed it just as much,if not more, than I did! He really enjoyed the music. I found it interesting that they had all of the footage that they did.

Well, I'm giving it 5 stars because I am such a fan. This is actually a video about the making of the concert that did not happen. It does let you in on some of the pressures and the intense detail work involved in staging such efforts. It is not a video of a concert, and you should not expect to see a concert presented.

This was yet another great purchase through Amazon. The item received was as advertised, and arrived in a timely fashion.

I am a huge Michael Jackson fan, so his death has had quite an effect on me. It is as if a my childhood was officially buried with him. I was torn about going to see This Is It in the theatre. I felt as if it was too soon and all about money, not quite the tribute Michael deserved. After all with all the tours Michael Jackson went on he never released a substantial amount of behind the scenes footage. I think he always liked to keep the illusion alive. Anyway I gave in to my own curiousity and I must say I was mixed with emotion. It was fascinating to see how much of a perfectionist he was and what dedication went into his perfomances. At the same time it saddened me that this really was it. I would never have the priviledge again, to see him in his element, on stage. I hold onto those great memories I have of seeing him on the Bad Tour and with the Jackson Five in the seventies. This is It, is a must have for everyone that has been touched by Michael Jackson's music. Even if you are not familiar with him, or were not fortunate enough to see him live, this is a dvd you should add to your collection.
