I saw This is it on Thursday. I was a little hesitant to see this movie, because I knew how much of a bittersweet moment it would be. Yes, we get to see a great performer in action, but at the same time, we will never get to see the final product. But I saw it, and I loved it. It was a wonderful way to cap off a bad day I had.
Memorable Points
The spider from the Thriller sequence (and hearing the Threatened instrumental!). I want that spider so bad.
Orianthi (Michael: “I want to hear WAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”)
Him singing Speechless. My jaw dropped when I heard it. I later relayed to mom that he was singing songs from Invincible (she loves that album).
The chemistry between him and Judith Hill during I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.
Just hearing his singing voice instead of the lip sync-a-thon that was the HIStory Tour.
This was not exploitation, this was celebration of a complex person who gave so much to a world that takes exceptional people for granted, then act shocked when they forever leave us.
Most of all, I’m glad to see a man who was happy and seemed to be living, not existing.

Two favorites of mine
I want her outfit.
And I like this one because Evgeni Plushenko is really fun to watch and the fact that he wears that gold suit (an obvious nod to MJ’s HIStory Tour outfit) very nicely is an added bonus.

If you wanted a guitarist who can do great versions of solos by Slash, Steve Stevens, and Eddie Van Halen and have that guitarist be a female, Jennifer was your go-to girl.
Here I celebrate the best onstage moments between guitarist Jennifer Batten during her time performing with Michael Jackson
1:16: Other people have noted this, but I love how she walks around him like a big cat, and he’s her prey.
2:52: Rips open his shirt! I’d love to have heard the conversation between those two during rehearsals.
