Michael Jackson's this Is It (DVD, 2009)

Michael Jackson's "This Is It"

The late Michael Jackson's "This Is It" which was released after his death, captures the preparations and rehearsals for the planned presentation which never occurred. Documenting the personnel, musicians, technicians, choreographers, and singers who shared in the development of the artistry and music of this captivating video, Jackson, himself shines in a glory that is uniquely his own.

Viewers will recall the frequently televised clips of the "They Don't Care About Us" rehearsals. On the video, the creativity and computer-generated scenes are shown from the beginning stages to the completed production. Every viewer will be able to find their own particular niche in the lyrics of this penetratingly haunting, militarily-styled, rock-lament for the insensitivities of mankind. Well choreographed marching dance steps show an earnest defiance, coupled with a subtle hope for redemption and salvation. The recurring chorus will resonate in the minds and memories of viewers for a very long time.

The technical qualities of the video are great. Lighting, camera angles and views, and overall staging of the video demonstrate professional skills that rank among the most imaginative and inspired filming techniques.

Given the circumstances that prompted the creation and release of "This Is It," the video is destined to become a classic collector's item. The King of Pop has left a deep and lasting mark on the artistic and musical galleries of modern culture. Michael Jackson's superior dancing skills, coupled with his inviting vocal artistry, will not disappoint; but will inspire, thrill, uplift and give rise to genuine thankfullness that Michael Jackson once lived, walked, sang and danced amongst us.Read full review

Michael Jackson's genius on vivid display.

One of the best performance DVDs I've seen, and I've seen a lot. This tour was scheduled but cancelled due to MJ's death. This is all rehearsal plus a look back. MJ is at his very best on stage but with only the crew as his audience. You become the audience.Read full review
