My sister and I went to see Michael Jackson’s This Is It tonight — we’re both fans, grew up with his music and were devastated to hear of his recent passing.
I knew I would love This Is It, and I was right! From the second he came on screen, the tears started to flow.. but soon enough, I started bopping around, dancing, smiling and singing along. To see him in his element, up on the stage, performing on his own and with others – it was just a real delight for me. I’m sure others agree 🙂
I really appreciate that we got to see so much of his time planning and practicing for what would of definately been a major comeback. The things they had planned, wow. It was good enough to see them in rehearsal, it would of been amazing to see in person for sure!!
But not only that, it was a comfort to see him smiling and dancing and singing at his best. It really proved at how massively talented this man was, while also showing how caring and loving he was towards those around him. There were glimpses of his personality, from joking around (‘Booty? You’re funny’) to being a perfectionist – and he always did it with a smile. The crew that worked with him – the dancers, the singers, the stage hands, the zombies – it must of been a life changing experience to be part of something so cool.
I may have to see this again… (coming from a girl who sees 1 movie every 8 months… ).
p.s. There was a preview of the new Sarah Jessica Parker movie – Did You Hear About The Morgans? – and I literally gasped at the sight of her face.. Sorry, I love me some SATC, but holy wow. The big screen does not work well for her…. oops did I say that?? lol.
