THIS IS IT

I was lucky enough to get a ticket to Michael Jackson's "documentary" film.  I wouldn't exactly call it a documentary (there are no voice overs) it's more like being a roadie and getting to see things behind the scenes, things you never see, but take for granted.  I never imagined how much hard work, blood, sweat and tears goes into producing a concert.  But this was going to be more than just a concert, in fact I can't think of one word that could sum it up. Michael Jackson was pure genius. Say what you want about him, but you can't deny the fact that he had a vision and would do anything to bring it to fruition to perfection.  He knew exactly what he wanted and knew how to get it from his dancers, to his back up singers, musians and the producer.  As he said in the movie "you have to let it sizzle".  As I was watching this movie, I had to keep reminding myself that he was 50 years old.  He was jumping around and dancing like a man of 25.  He looked so good I can believe that just days later he died.  There was no reason for this to happen.  What a shame and a loss for all of us.  I'm glad, at least, there were some moments that he left for us to remember him by.  I have three words for you  GO SEE IT.
