I went to see Michael Jackson's This Is It, the other night and found it so poignant and bitter-sweet.

It was so wonderful to see MJ performing again one last time and so inspiring to see him working on and perfecting what was due to be both his triumphant return to the stage and also his final farwell concerts. In spite of what some critics were predicting, it is clear from the film that This Is It would have been an absolutely amazing show!!

It is so sad that after preparing for months Michael didn't get to perform This Is It live even once. As he says himself in the film he was saving his voice and what we see in this rehearsal footage is Michael performing at maybe 30%, it's such a shame he didn't get to do any of the London concerts where he would have given it everything he's got and would have been performing at 110%! It would have been incredible and just what the world needs at this time.

Never the less This Is It the film does give us enough of a taste of what the concerts would have been like to reconfirm the fact that Michael Jackson truly was and always will be The King of Pop, a true genius whose music and performances will live on forever.

And in its own right the film, which I though was beautifully put together by Kenny Ortega, stands up as a fascinating and wonderful insight into the brilliance and humanity of the man, the mega-star, Michael Jackson.
